Hawoo i have a question for systems with lots of people in em and that question is whats it like!! We're just me&medley and the largest system we know personally consists of like 5 but I've seen systems online who say they count well over ten people and we're always baffled bc like, does that not get Very Loud in there? On our end we're both More Or Less active around the clock!!
Oh no is ten the point where it's "a lot" of people? lol
I guess I technically have 10 people in here, but only 1 or 2 or ever "active" at a time. Also, a lot of our communication is nonverbal, it's more like telepathy where I just "know" what it is they want to say. But I get a lot of emotions that way, instead of specific words, so it can be a different kind of noisy.
I guess a good way to explain my system is like if you have a bunch of cats in your house. Most of the time, they are off doing their own thing. Maybe they're in another room, or they're hiding inside the couch, you don't know where they are or what they're up to, but they don't seem to be causing any problems. Sometimes they will walk up to you because they want attention. Some are nice and rub up against you and others Cause Problems to get your attention instead. But some also have treats/toys they really like, so if you break out the cat gogurt, you can get a specific one to show up lol
I know that larger systems can have people who are "dormant," so they're asleep or on vacation or off doing their own thing in headspace. So they're on the system census but they're not making themselves known. Like a cat hiding inside of a couch lol
