Hmmmmmm.... (Bada ba ba ba, I'm lovin' it)

Anyway, I am for Njalm deciding the rank OR (I've been thinking about this for a while) Grimm doesn't seem like the type to organize things. (To me) it seems like he wouldn't care what everyone's positions were, so long as they were lower than he was. (Which is why I personally hate the "Cero" position, but that's just me.) Wouldn't it seem much more logical if they were simply assigned a number according to what order they joined? Of course this leads to a few problems: fighting within the group is one of them, as well as if a member dies, does everyone move up a notch or what? But anyway, there's another suggestion for you.

As for the RP, I know this is typically not done on fanfiction sites b/c of the fear of god-modding, but (as I have probably mentioned somewhere before) I came from a writer's site background, and the format there was slightly different. Everyone wrote as they saw fit, posting one post per character. You could have more than one character (POV-wise, that is) but you couldn't post back-to-back. (So you had to wait for someone else to contribute.) This works really well for a plot-focused RP. I'm not sure how much we want to incorporate fights in this, but if we focus on plot the format I mentioned seems more streamlined and concise to me. Plus, "assigning turns" sounds like Monopoly or my mother's old chore charts, both of which I have very bad memories of. Each post could have a simple line for the character's name (so we know who it is) and then at the end of the section the user can add their signature. It might seem cluttered to read through but might help everyone keep track of who is who and whatnot.

Also, to be fair, aside from the necessities of the plot, how are you planning to decide who and when gets to be in the "main" FC plot line?
