...Yeah, that 'no' on stricter AC coming from me should surprise no one.
But I don't think the base requirements to pass AC should be changed at all. But requesting a second chance and, if you don't, therefore idling out faster seems reasonable to me. The Player/Weapon ratio is critical for a smooth round, and that ratio can't be accurate if a significant portion of the game is characters played by people that have dropped off the earth for months. If you're not going to do the game the favor of letting them know what's up, why should the game do you the favor of holding your spot?
But as far as cast limits are concerned, maybe a temporary hold on Homestuck might be in order. So things could balance out a bit. Not permanent, and not like an umbrella cap, like no more than 10 from any one case ever. Maybe just temporary to let a few rounds go by for some other casts/LCWs to flow in.
I think threads for canonmates should count, because as Ketsu said, it's not necessarily the poster's fault if a post that has potential for wide appeal is only tagged by canonmates. But maybe if someone's entire AC for a character is threads with one other character/within their cast, without extenuating circumstances (hiatus/plot reasons), a friendly reminder to try to tag around could be left. But mostly everyone needs to tag other people more. Myself included. /player of most insular character EVER/
As far as the PDA, it could be given out as an intro thing. Sure they were harder in 1.0, but there was less money going around then than there is in this session. I would support it being handed out right away, but it's generally accessible from a starting point of view anyway. I do think the video/audio addon should be more accessible in some way, though. It's kind of like giving characters without thumbs a handicap as far as getting those first upgrades are concerned.
