>>they get the job done faster than most big roleplaying groups

I lol'd.

[infringe.livejournal.com]

'cause three weeks is definitely fast, amirite?

[case]

Oh yeah, one response a week. Death-defying speed.

If they have no time, get more freaking mods! It makes sense.

[infringe.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I feel faint whenever I think about how fast they get the job done.

Dude, they already have five! BUT WHOOPS-- I guess it's not enough.

[dreadnot.livejournal.com]

Six.

[infringe.livejournal.com]

What difference does that make when you still take so much time doing stuff?

[ruxi.livejournal.com]

Two, actually - in the odd circumstance that applications require further input.

Four pages of applications.

But nonetheless, thank you for your mathematical appreciation. ^__^ v

[infringe.livejournal.com]

Two weeks isn't really something to be proud of.

Four pages? So what? I've seen other roleplaying communities who process six to eight pages way faster than you guys.

[ruxi.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't. We're sorry we're both, in our majority, students, and thorough.

I don't know how familiar you are with our application system, but what we are generally forced to do is ask for either additional RP samples, or additional resources. We leave people the time to produce those. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

But... I think the only thing my continuing on this line of thought would accomplish would be to, er, generate d0rama. The (I assume) player in question had frustrations to voice, and much as I personally wish they'd taken it with us (granted, maybe they'd be discouraged to do so, since we're apparently elitist jerks)? It's their God given right.

I do recall you from a good few months ago, and I think you'd have some valuable input to offer as to the game in its overall. If you ever have the time and/or inclination, please don't hesitate to do so.

Thank you.

[databomb.livejournal.com]

Uhhhh can't help but ask, if you're so often forced to ask for additional RP samples, why not make the initial application more comprehensive? I've been in a lot of comms and uhhh no offense, but your app seems a bit lax in the first place - link to a wiki for information? Just a RP sample and journal sample? - and that might cut down time? It would probably lessen the necessity of back-and-forth correspondence?

[case]

But see all that says to me is like, "we have a ton of work to do!" and it's like well... so DO it, or get people that CAN, or something else, because you accepted that responsibility?

[ruxi.livejournal.com]

All too true.

This puts certain things in perspective. Thank you.

[gaulish.livejournal.com]

Oh, please. Maybe that would be the case if they asked for re-writes. I've never seen applications take THAT long and I've been the game since March.

[venomized.livejournal.com]

Patience is a virtue, after all.

I'm not attacking anyone or anything, I'm just seeing things from my experience. I could have a completely different outlook on the whole scenario than yourself.

Not trying to get up in anyone's internet grills or anything. I do apologize if I have offended in any manner.

[case]

No, not offended, just kind of HUH!? at your estimating of your speed. I know like three or four people that have apped there (with perfectly fine apps, too -- it's not like theirs is actually detailed or anything) and lost interest because the mods responded so slowly.

[venomized.livejournal.com]

All I can say to that is that, perhaps, they got tied up? It can be that it fell during a particularly difficult time at school and with many applications flowing, perhaps it just took them a bit to look through? Not sure. The answers, they do not come.

Again, I didn't intend on making this a bitter fest or anything. Just giving my own experience on everything.

[case]

Don't worry, I'm not offended or anything, I'm out of the game already fdjkhdjdh *dies*

[venomized.livejournal.com]

And what I meant by "scenario" is that I could have had a fast response or I could have waited longer. Or something.

Different perspective, different life experiences and all that mother jazz. Ugh, this turned into a bitter fest that I did not mean to create.

[fonz.livejournal.com]

You just made this post epic, Tony. :')

[degrees.livejournal.com]

Patience may be a virtue, but when the mods ask a clarifying question, the person applying replies the SAME DAY, and doesn't get a response for over a week? That's a little ridiculous and rude in my opinion.

[gaulish.livejournal.com]

Moderators have lives, too, you know. They can't always be there at your disposal whenever you want.

[case]

And there are (apparently) six of them, all of which happened too busy to say anything for a whole week! Lie there and take it!!!

... are you serious.

[ashira.livejournal.com]

Oh, honestly. The mods aren't attached to their computers 24/7. There are going to be times when they're too busy! Every game goes through this! People have lives!

You had to wait for your application to be approved/denied? Oh, you poor thing. You know, I think two weeks is actually pretty reasonable for a game that big.

[degrees.livejournal.com]

Then get more mods? Rotate responsibilities? There are ways to make this work without making your applicants wait for a response forever.

[slutty.livejournal.com]

May I just insert a big "WORD" right here. ♥
