Originally I had thought to just look at IC reactions to the plants to help shape the next mingle. Just in case, I had Foxglove's player announce from the get-go that they had solutions anyway. Several days into the mingle, it seemed to me that Foxglove would be the only one with any ideas. Trying to include player participation so no one would feel left out or hauled into a decision they didn’t make, I wanted Foxglove to ask opinions on which of his solutions the rescuers would like better. Whether the players took too long to answer, or didn’t answer, I don’t know. But finally it was near the end of the week, and in desperation I asked you because the RA is party leader.

To avoid the same problem next week, after you make your top level, may I suggest tagging out, so that characters will have to answer the RA's question? That’s the best tactic I can think of at the moment. Feel free to link Anna Monday's top level in tags for easy reference. Even if just one or two characters have opinions, or even if everyone says "I don’t know", that will do. If there is just something onscreen, anything, a vote isn’t even needed for me, and not all characters have to participate if they’re busy.

ETA: It's possible characters will want to do both of Anna Monday's requests, and that's a valid course of action too.
