And I can see that, but... honestly, it's hard to find a different system people are fine with. At the moment, the draft system is comparable to waiting in a line at an amusement park: it can take quite some time until it's your turn, but once it is, you're free to line up again immediately. It's a disadvantage to people on hiatus as well as players - or even simply characters - that join at a later date, but that's how it is with queues. And I know what it's like to have to wait for the next draft (Nu here missed out on the first draft, and I'm actually among the ones waiting for a newly-apped character to be chosen as well), but... well, sometimes, you have to be a little patient, I guess. And that patience does pay off, doesn't it?
I'm not taking it that way, don't worry! I'm certain that's not what anon intended. But I'm not sure a limit is the way to go, simply because... well, that can cause issues too. Let's say there's another more plot-heavy draft like the one in December, and someone can't have their character go simply because they were previously drafted two - maybe three - times in a row. Assuming this is someone who hasn't had a chance to involve their character much in the plot, how do you think they would feel to be left out for something like that? Not happy, I'd imagine. It's one way to deal with the issue of characters who get drafted frequently, yes, but... I'm not certain if it's the best possible solution.
But, um... Anon? The only time I've had Nu here comment to another character on the recruitment post was before the first time she was drafted (which was the second draft), and that was because Masa, Nuke, Triad and I specifically wished for Goroh, Litchi, Yellow 13 and her to go together that time. The past two times I've signed her up, I haven't had her respond to anyone - and if I remember right, I took a while to sign her up again after the first time, which is why the fact that she got to go for the third draft caught me by surprise.
And for this time... well. I seem to remember Nu being on page 4 when I signed her up again once the list was cleared, which would've meant that she wouldn't get to go next draft, unless it was one where a lot of characters would get to go. And then dropped characters were cleared out, and... now she's sitting on page 2. That honestly caught me by surprise, and like I said, if it weren't for someone close to her going, I'd most likely have declined for her this time around. Just to clarify a little.
I'm all for giving newer muns - or people who don't get to go as often - a chance to participate! I'm just not certain if changing the system for that is a good idea. This is kind of striking me as a lose-lose situation: keep the draft system as is, and newer players (or characters newly signed up for the draft) are at a disadvantage. Change it, and there's inevitably going to be other people who will complain. That's the main issue here, I'd say.
A-apologies if that didn't make much sense - I literally just woke up, and it's still very early over here. :|;
