[QUOTE="Istbor, post: 8225007, member: 6801670"] Sure. But you can't just change DMs at the drop of a hat. That too can kill groups. And it sounds like dragging this out has the potential for those having the spotlight stolen from them are on the verge or at least thinking about quitting now. Is another month to finish out the current campaign going to push them over the edge? Maybe as someone said, this is solution Z that the OP doesn't want to do.
