I think there are 2 feats that increase the level of cohort by 1... (I am not sure if they stack though...)

I only know of one and it sets your cohort level at 29, doesn't increase it by one.

My bad... both have text 'Your cohort may be 1 level lower than you' or something similar at least...

Hey drack?
If I might, Why dont you open recruitment 4?
Then they would be done sooner, and therefore can play faster?

Recruitment 4? Even more players? With a lot homebrew to look through and hundreds of pages of stuff.

...Drack would go (even more) insane...

Actually recruitment 4 would be another extension (we have 3 recruitments, 2 ICs, and 2OOCs counting this one as a recruitment. It would be a third recruitment if shady wanted more players. Though I really don't see how giving someone another thread when we're only halfway through this one would help.

Theoretically, that only takes one other player, at an optimization level equal to or exceeding the target player's optimization level.

Somehow from my vantage point that views all your allies I'd say this isn't really true... you could do some serious damage, but not necessarily come out on top...

yup. I also am looking at how strong everyone else is. currently considering the possibility of a world war style two way split with some neutrals, but that'd be messy, so I'm not gonna encourage it.

How many players are there right now, Drack? I know you said a while ago the number was 40, but I feel like nowhere near that many have been active (at least on this thread).

I know I personally don't talk a lot, but I have been working steadily on my nation. I'm aiming for Friday to be done... Here's hoping.

Yup, which is why I'm not counting people out until they either post that they're dropping, or Igneel PMs them while working on the table and they reply that they're out.
