Yeah, axing most of the cousins feels a bit harsh, but it may yet be necessary. I'm getting a lot of good suggestions and coming up with new ideas myself, I think I can eventually come up with some compromise that'll hopefully be satisfying. I wouldn't want to be completely sidetracked by an overwhelming number of cousins, but maybe just axing everyone but the main line is a bit too harsh.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm definitely packaging everyone before the rebuild, just in case I should ever feel like playing with them, in Alphabetia or elsewhere. :)

Thanks for reading and acting as a sounding board!
