  1. There's always going to be complications, but why add more for something so asinine?
  2. That's illogical just telling others, "don't make another one" because it still affects them whether or not they create a second character, or not.
  3. What fucking activity? What are you talking about? Unless you are suggesting double posting, there would be no extra activity.
  4. In the Non-Cannon section people can post in two topics anyways, its like the Gas Chamber of the RPG. Srsly.
The activity increase in a section brings more RPers. If a person can post more often in a section, that creates more activity which makes more people want to join. You can easily talk with your second character in a single post. For example, Laz talked with an enemy in the saga. However, if no one posted, you'd still have to wait, but since your using two characters to talk, another RPer could join in the conversation now that a conversation is already taking place.
  1. Because most of the complications can be removed before secondary characters are allowed. Then, after a secondary character is allowed, a person can have double the fun and last time I checked, the main point of a RPG is for fun.
  2. It's not illogical at all. It would be your choice to create the second one. For example, a person that reaches level 40 could join a saga as an enemy and a person with a level of 5 could join. Obviously, the level 5 would get decimated, but it woulda been his choice in joining while knowing that there was a possibility he would get killed easily.
  3. A person whould be able to post more with twocharacters. If a person posts more, that creates more activity. That activity then draws in more people which increases the activity that much more.
  4. True, people can, but then it creates multiple holes when you leave a section to go to another section to see the same person you were talking to just seconds ago. Not sure if it was added to the rules or not, but I thought you could only post in one of the places like the bar, beach, or forest, but still able to post in one of the homes.

It's the extra complication involved, people can participate in multiple topics in the Non-Cannon section anyways, so there's no problem. As for expansion of scenario, it really doesn't. In fact it's just as limited as it was before, because it's being controlled by the same person. If we want to expand scenarios, add more RPers, not characters controlled by the same RPers.
Moderators don't have as much time as you think. Plus, there are also other factors to add in such as computer problems or family problems. Mod activity can die down, but if members continue to keep the place active until a mod is able to spend more time, it can help a mod. You can't just leave everything to the mods. I'm sure they'd appreciate help on the small things as long as you were correct.

A scenerio isn't limited as much. It expands. If you have two completly differant characters, the scenerios you use are differant as well thus expanding the limit.
