And we'll have 8 people trying to have the same conversation at once? Like I said, everyone will know their place and know when it is time for their character to play a more active rather than passive role, and vice versa. Everybody's not going to be pouncing at once - sometimes you've got to take one for the team, so if you feel a situation is getting too crowded, let your character sit it out. It all comes down to common sense, really, if it does look too confusing to add another character in a certain scenario, then you won't bring your character traipsing into the middle of it anyway, would you? Never mind, I feel I'm explaining this wrong.
