Well, we are bit one-sided at the moment with three samurai and a MIA shugenja.
It really depends on what you have been planning for us. So if we do add "new blood", it probably shouldn't be another samurai.
In general on recruiting new players: Right now we are 3 active players and one absent, so perhaps adding someone new would a little bit to our pace, but then, perhaps not. (Since this was my first PbP game, I don't really have any experience with this.)
Another thing I wanted to bring up:
What do all of you think about setting certain days for posting? Another option could be agreeing on a fixed schedule like x times a week. The advantage of this would be a ongoing continuation of our tale.
I imagine that it's really unsatisfying (hopefully not frustrating) for Tokiwong that he always has to wait and look for some of us to post.
[Perhaps this is nonsense, but it did cross my mind. If so, admonish me.
