Sorry for my delays, as I expected, settling Eagle in is taing quite a bit of my time and attention. I will get something out soon though.<br/><br/>On the question of dropped players and thir characters, I would really hate to see something destructive happen to simply remove them, but having all of them NPc'd would be a massive load for Chrys and I'm not in favor of that. She's suppose to be enjoying this at some point, afterall, right?<br/><br/>What I've seen done in the past is to push them off to the background as "Those people you see walking about but don't really do anything" situation. Move them to another bloc for now and they can be called out as NPC's as needed or adopted by new players who might want them as a quick way to begin play.<br/><br/>If they fall into the virus coma like condition, and there is no cure, then bringing them back out will require a lot of work to come up with said cure and rehabilitat them back to something that's functional, so it's a more difficult option to use.
