I like this comment. I've been in games in the past that have had numerous issues with not necessarily cliques as such, but in not being welcoming or as welcoming to new characters or players as they could be, out of a mixture of comfort and complacency with the setting, and with the people they were tagging with.
I feel like Asgard, with its size and with the fact that it is a fairly open game wrt to the tone of the setting (in as much as there are somewhat slice-of-life events going on, and more — upbeat, I guess, events such as the Travellers' Festival by Conan, and then there are more downbeat/horror-toned things, such as the forthcoming Darkness event, as well as the whole war/RagnarΓΆk thing), AND HOLY RUN ON SENTENCE. But basically, I think that with how open Asgard is as a game, I, personally, would be disappointed if cross-canon CR of not even one single thread a month, disregarding of length, was occurring.
I did offer a suggestion down the page of perhaps incorporating a sort of ... summary of a character's ... what they've been doing for the month into the AC. I think that if you (general) find that you're consistently struggling to explain, even loosely, what your character has been up to and who with, and/or if they're consistently doing things with their cast, I think that could/would be grounds to remark on insularity. A pattern over a couple of months is quite different to having a poor month here, or a poor month there and struggling to make AC with an anti-social character, after all.
