Aliasing everyone → absolutely_everyone
Link to alias

Reason:

Close enough?
Both are used for the same concept, and neither of them tend to contain 'everyone'.

I don't see any significant distinction.

+1

But any votes for reversing the alias? Or would it lose some of its meaning then?

I think "Absolutely everyone" is supposed to be for at least a hundred characters, while "Everyone" was just at least a dozen.

That doesn't match the wikis, and Everyone seems like a poor word-choice for a mere dozen.

But I've been thinking that we should have some tag for large groups. Large_group might work, I suppose.

+1 for large group, but I don't know how to apply it. 7+, a lot of background characters, something similar?

My only concern is that everyone could possibly be a relative term, while absolutely (albeit only used for emphasis) denotes some absolute concept, while that's most often not true. But I don't really care for either, it's a technicality.

large_group sounds interesting, how many are we talking about? 5? 10? 20? 100?

, 10+_group?

I'm sticking with my dozen+, ie 12 or more.

And it often changes with time.
Couple of examples: Sonic and Pokemon. Both are constantly introducing new characters, so literal 'absolutely_everyone' quickly stops applying to those.

I'd go with same threshold as what was used for mass_orgy: ten characters. More than that, and it becomes too difficult to easily count them. ^{_{...for orgies, anyway. See post #952104.}}

Also, just a small thing, but.. If it's the same threshold as mass_orgy, we can implicate mass_orgy -> large_group.
