I like the idea of the gathering, but would it be something that someone would hold once a month (for when the newbies arrive?) I do like the idea of someone kind of keeping in mind areas that might need defended. Since there are some characters that might be ill-suited to being... on the front lines, I guess? Haha

I still like the idea of having an OOC page for discussion of things and finding housing. While I love doing things IC, I really think OOC communication is important as well.
