And those were people who hadn't even committed yet. Drac and me have, we've gone through the 300-page manual, we've mapped out characters, we've put effort in, and we want to continue doing so. And letting us only helps you make this whole experience better.

You believe that seven people makes for a better game. To be blunt, I do not. From the very beginning, I decided five or six would be best. This is from a perspective of keeping management overhead down, allowing a nice level of interaction between people in the group, allowing a nice range of abilities, creating tailored events for individual characters, allowing a variety of different combat scenarios and, of course, making sure everyone's involved in a scene.

I attached a high priority to high level concepts to spare people from putting in a lot of work only to get rejected.

As for going through the three-hundred plages plus book, I must confess this sign-up was intended to target the players from Phoenix's game. Of which both you and Dracorion are examples.

I am glad the two of you are eager, but I am afraid eagerness alone is not enough.

Dracorion, your preference for developing personality and other features as you go has worked against you in this case I'm afraid. Your concept is a bit all over the place. It's been great to see you so involved so I'm very sorry to have to exclude you.

Geminex, while your character is solid, I fear your arguments for a group of seven have caused me a significant headache. Trying to decide on the best way to proceed and whether seven was feasible has reminded me of why I wanted to keep numbers down. So I'm sorry, but you are out as well.

Voidrazor, I must admit I have to wonder what act of Google brought this to the top of the search list. Weclome to the NPF but I am afraid sign-ups are closed for this game. If you are looking for Eclipse Phase specifically, perhaps you might have better luck on the official site's forums?
