You're misunderstanding the purpose of the chart Gem. It's to basically record the best/likely chain of players by using the in-character interactions chosen by the players as the basis.

For some of us, doing it in character without any guidance is fine.

But for others who do have have the time or personal inclination to troll several people at once, this chart is more of a guideline to who to start with. A metagame way to decide who is the most desired server/player connector. I in particular become paralyzed if I have to decide who to try to talk with without any prior interaction with a character. Like I need to have someone directly contact me first before I do anything with them. Totally reactive and otherwise unresponsive unless there is a metagame method to give the tiniest push. That push being out of character approval between a set of players to start a particular pairing of interactions in character.

In Prospit's case, Caoway personally wants to interact more with Lerjae, so I made that connection. Overcast told me that Lerjae is going to be interacting with Burgun, so I connected those two. Then Loyal said that he was working things out with Flare to have Burgun and Piron interacting. And Flare said that Bard's character Glissa was going to be Piron's server. So I just recorded that data for reference. It's not an official set in stone thing unless everyone agrees with it.

To clarify Gem, I'm not making the chart to define who should be chatting with who. I'm making the chart for the OPPOSITE REASON. That the character interactions done in character helps defines the more or less official order of entering the medium so everyone who actually has a personal connection with someone is connected to that person. And for those who hasn't interacted with other players? It gives them a metagame method of deciding who to troll with to add a bit more development to their character. And it's not set in stone at all. It's more of a easy way to see what the chain of interactions is like.

So don't worry about it.

I am still interested in knowing in you have any preference about who you want as your server or if you're otherwise completely open.
