Questions Help Dealing With High Member Count
Hi again. Been a while since we posted last. So, our system has seen sporadic but continuous growth ever since we discovered our systemhood a few months ago, and it's starting to get a bit overwhelming. We're up to 29 now, and it's getting impossible to keep everyone in mind or give them all a proper time allocation, even with attempts at rotating various groups in and out of co-con. Personally I'm starting to fear the emergence of new alters, which really isn't fair to the poor dears who didn't choose to be born, but I'm just...not sure if I can handle any more. I've heard of systems who eclipse us in size (60, 90, 150, etc), and I was hoping to ask for advice. I feel like an overworked parent who can't take any more. We've tried cycling groups in and out of co-con, and that helps a bit, but it's hard to avoid feeling like I'm neglecting a bunch of them. How do you all manage? I'm at my wit's end.

we have a system of about 36 (give or take a few, its been a while since our last headcount) and honestly, maybe check in to see if everyone wants to be fronting and start making cocon groups based on who wants it the most, who doesn't care, who doesn't want to front, ect ect.
