I understand that if we allowed more ephs, however qualified they were, it would be harder to train them. The amount allowed could perhaps be allowed increase at a gradual rate over time, couldn't it? Because with more Elder Gods around it would also become more possible to train a larger amount of ephs.

Just a thought. *Shrug*

Guides, in my experience elsewhere, can't control mobiles.

Maybe a sneak illusionist.. or a funky admin.

You may have noticed in the other IRE games that the overall number of admins doesn't actually go up that much. That's because they burn out fairly quickly and go semi-inactive or entirely dormant. Even a very rarely present admin is more or less the same.

This is actually the main reason we take new Ephemerals, because we need enough God characters/admins to keep the game rolling.
