Hi West
Thank you for your comments.
1. Yes.
1a - thats probably me getting ahead of myself and not allowing time for the relevant scenes to be sorted out.
2. Recognition is a thing. It has become a little slap dash over the last year (and that is probably down to me). I have allowed some toons to be switched around and bought back (the ones that happened around the time I had to focus on RL). I think Abacus and Aurora fit that category.
Over the last few months the venue has developed a habit of the new toons simply rocking up to the next available Consilium. I did not that a swathe of characters received Recognition at the end of Consilum 1911 by default (and I noted this at the end of the scene so it is up to the players to adjust their signatures / accounts). I believe I asked for Status last month as well but other events may have knocked things sideways.
3. The disarray was not intentional. I think it has simply... happened... on the back of certain plots and events.
