If we run short on players, I would also be fine recruiting one or two to take over either a human NPC or the Grogar/Regulii (assuming that was kosher with their creators). That might cut down on the NPC management we all have to do.

Well, now that we're near the end of the Evolution Phase, it would be improper to suddenly plonk any new nations down. However, if any of you have friends that might like to take on the roles of characters within your nations, then that is certainly an idea I am willing to explore.

As for asking someone to take on an existing NPC state, I'm not sure how popular that idea would be, or how long it might take to recruit a suitable candidate. 

When we zoom ahead to the next Age, the RP will open once more for new players, and we'll have a brief recruitment period to see if we can enlist some new blood. 

With the closure of the Evolution Phase, and the start of the RP proper, I will be giving the first OOC post a makeover to reflect the changes the RP underwent, as well as putting up an updated map of the world.
