Yeah- and I should have been clearer OOCly- or at least in brackets or something that he was trying to make allies to rely on, but it just didn't occur to me (partially because I was like 'well this isn't happening for awhile, there's time to be super into building for the plot later').

And excuses excuses, but man, I did have a Natpost written out asking for help, and I wish more than anything now that I'd have thrown it up. :C It just got endlessly postponed with all the amazing events that were happening, and then it was too late. I really had no way of letting people know ICly that the glitch was a fallout because Nat was- well, dead at the time, but- yeah, I should have figured out a way that it would have been at least somewhat more stressed (I originally thought it was going to be in the event blurbs on the calender, but no such luck!)

But yeah. I'll try to network more OOCly next time! And probably try to gather more of a CR network with a character before attempting to pull off something that's supposed to have a lot of relevance.
