I was one person who asked in the DM channel about the party being closed or not. It just seemed strange that so many people came to such a remote location in coincidence. However I had nothing against them, once I got the clarification from a DM, that they RPd in and that I later heard drom Triba and Eldarwen respectively.
Harlas, about them not getting worked into what was happening. That's not true. I myself told the two mentioned above just about everything that had gone on... it was just in whispers as walls have ears
.
So in conclusion I think that if these newcomers keep coming to the series then fine, if not.. then I suggest to lock the party for real. The starter of confusion this time around was the fact that after we signed the contract you personally said that the party was locked and that's that.
