Similarly, what about old RPs that are taking a long *** time to write. They're dated before the charrie died, but you can't post to them anymore because of the new rule.
Will there be a way to put a charrie into vacation mode voluntarily? Some things you can't plan 3 or 4 days in advance to make sure one drops to vacation before you bring out a replacement.
First question: how you explain that would be up to you. If alive, then they aren't in the city anymore. If dead, then perhaps they are being swallowed by shadows or some such. Perhaps they've gone mad. But in this instance, OOC really does trump the roleplay need people have to be able to have it make sense for their characters.
Second question: don't let your characters go inactive if you want to roleplay them retrospectively. Or give them some time while dead and active (while letting another go inactive) so you can finish the roleplay.
Third question: No there won't be a way to go into vacay voluntarily. Too much abuse is possible with that. I'd suggest only have 4 characters, as was the original point behind the 4 characters rule.
