It would be a 1x1x1, which would make me either allow aliens early (as in during our current chapter). Or I would need to shuffle us all the way back to freakin' NYC to maybe pick up any newbies and then we'd do intros while on our way to the scavenger hunt locations. I know it's a busy time for people but stopping by to let people know who are counting/waiting on you shouldn't be asking a lot. I want them to stick around but be more active but right now I need to know what's going on with them...

Ah...

Well, personally, I don't mind a 1x1x1 too much. It would be fine with me if we just stuck with this small group until the next opportunity to bring in new players arrives. It kind of feels like trying to drag in new players from NYC now would be a hassle to deal with and it might just slow us down even more. :/ 

But that's just my opinion. You're the boss, after all.
