Honestly Warren I haven't paid much attention to your characters either as is proven by my above statement. We would ask you to parse your characters down as well...one or two is more than enough for anyone. We enjoy focusing on character development. It sounds like Gaz is having her army leave soon, so your solution seems to be pretty simple...let those characters leave. Just a suggestion.
As an example to everyone, amongst the people that more or less started this thread...
Myitt: 2 chars. Myitt/Tara and Corliss/Michael (we generally count controllers as one character as they are pretty much inextricably linked).
Me Ossanlin" 1 char. Ossanlin
Terenia: 3 chars. Terenia/Efaen, Trey, Tamora
KitMarie: 2 chars. Tora and Elayne
Shen: 1 char. Mar
Patty: 1 char. Aliciania
And amongst some of the newer players...
Chad: 3 chars. Claxter, Sukohn/Cody, Temrash/host
Parker: 3 chars. Parker, Director, and the four-armed dude (can't remember his name atm, but sounds like he's going away soon anyway.)
Al: 2 chars. Salem and Al
~If I forgot anyone that's been around for awhile I'm sorry.
But as you can see we've reached a respectable number of pages just fine with a limited number of characters. For example, I've been with this thread almost since the start and the most I've ever had in the bar at once is 2 chars...and for most of the time, I've had only one...and that works beautifully. Notice that Ossanlin has a defined personality and a highly developed character. The people of the bar know him and have meaningful interactions with him. In this case QUALITY is highly preferred over quantity.
