You're in or you're out

The RP isn't dead, but it's weirdly exclusive-there's a select group of people who RP with each other and they're the main active members (given they also get primary arc focus, of course they are). This group doesn't really take any steps to get anyone else involved with their OCs and so it's basically just THE group that roleplays by now, as everyone else is left basically filling in the background and doing little else.
