So there was this one TV show where the main characters had each been (independently) kidnapped and then wake up in a strange town with no idea why.
I absolutely loved that show. So bummed that it was only one season…

My main thought process with any rule or policy like this is “why?”
If I can get a good reason why, even though the rule is off-putting to me, I can take some satisfaction in knowing it was actually considered rather than just some arbitrary thing that was decided.
The idea was supposed to be that new players would have people they could go to for RP rather than start out not having any connections and wandering around unable to get hooked into RP and plots. If they already knew each other, they would have at least someone and something to talk about to get the RP ball rolling.
It didn’t work that way in practice, but that was the theory. They explained it often since a lot of people had the same questions you guys have.
