Yes, to summarize my entire input into RP as a whole right now:

RPing as a person is easier than RPing as part of a group.

RPing as a group is dangerous because it can lead to the RP being closed off and outsiders not participating (bumuming that the goal is to get the outsiders to participate, which is what my goal has always been).

RP as a whole would (in my opinion) benefit from outsiders participating since it rejuvenates the storyline.

RP that seems too closed off leads to people a) considering it TL;DR (even though I read it anyway because I just like RP, gosh) or b) not something they feel comfortable participating in.

ETA: I think that the “closed-off group” idea applies to SRSLY RP as well as TGC — I’m not singling anyone out with this.
