Well... I don't personally feel it's a definite need for this to take off in a game, seeing as it brings up various problems here and there -- might even be too many problems for this to be worth the trouble. But it's something Keine would want to try and set up as a member of the community within the game, which is why I worked on that (somewhat minimally, truth be told - I'm a bit of a procrastinator)

But yes, twenty seven characters would definitely be a stretch, but that's just an idea of Keine's, to work on that so as to prevent the prospect of people disappearing. OOC wise, it's certainly a better idea to go with a smaller group of people, of maybe three 'leaders' for the whole city, only in charge of preparations for war, or countermeasures in case of other emergencies.
