1. I am going to try to add more characterization into my characters. I need to hold myself to a higher standard.

2. If I really can't think of anything that would make my characters better then I will just kill them off like the extras they are.

3. I think that every random guy we talk to to get information from and every tag a long member of the group doesn't need to have a full fledged backstory. Its just that the people that we do plan on using extensively should have something to them. I think extras are important to the story and we need to have them but I am trying to limit how I treat tehm.

4. I totally agree. We need a balance. Its just that with hidd creating a character and more people creating characters every week I am seriously considering if I am contributing the Fox's clutter.

On one hand we need the plot simple enough and few characters so that people can keep up but on the other hand we can't make the plot too simple or the characters too few. I think the solution is a Recap blog series so I am going to start that and depending on how that goes we will see what happens in the future.
