The immediate snag with limiting NPCs as far as creation goes is that Trisphee is an evolving community, and unless people don't want to see any new characters appear ever again, the count is going to grow. I do agree with using only s afew NPC's each event, but I don't think the numbers matter as much since any newcomer to the site will get stuck not knowing anyone for a while and how long a character has been around won't mean anything.
I like the idea of NPC profiles, perhaps divided by planet where they reside or have the most impact. That would be a good thing not just for following existing storylines but for new users to get caught up on who's who.
Keeping or pruning NPC's via popularity is a sketchy business too I think because popularity is hard to measure unless one can guarantee a responce from everyone on which characters they happen to like. Unpopular characters also serve there purpose as well, since they make great cannon/rp fodder. Not every character will be liked or disliked in the same way or in any uniform fashion.
I think we should work on a few things at a time first to help make things more user friendly if that is an issue. An overhaul of the way things currenlty might just create more havoc. Trisphee is an ongoing thing. There wil be more events and more time to sort things out in the grand scheme of things. Previous events and such aside, does anyone have more comments on how the current event is starting out?
Tea?
