Publishers and storefronts sometimes stack character debuts. Collectors experience that stack as “Thursday.” Thursday is not a character. Thursday is a container.
Roster planning puts each name on its own row with its own converted hour. If two debuts land on the same evening, the sheet shows the gap between them. A small Manchester circle can then decide who watches the first hour and who watches the second, instead of everyone shouting in one thread.
We still refuse popularity rankings. A quieter character debut is not a lesser publishing event; it is simply easier to miss. The roster exists so missing it is a choice. For the sitting itself, see roster planning sessions.
