If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
I was thinking if there's an issue with who controls NPCs, why not throw up a list of known NPCs in use somewhere and have a list of permissions so people know if a character is publically available or is specifically owned by a GM or somewhere between the two.
Tom, your idea is gold.
...Or whatever the equivalant valuble material in this universe is.
