Because it will be annoying to have to twist around the storyline to fit in newly introduced characters after something has already been established.
There was another thing I noticed that might be a problem - some people are writing their chapters from different perspectives. Most of us have been using 3rd person, but a few people (Like Kaz, I believe), have been using 1st person. I personally think it's best if we all stay in the same perspective to avoid confusion, but then again mixing perspectives might be interesting.
