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.

[case]

I know, poor me. Except it wasn't me. (:

People have lives, people have lives, people have lives, people have lives, people have lives, people have lives, people have lives, people have lives, people have lives, people have lives,

yes. That's not the point.

The point is that responsible people get other people to take care of things while they're gone/while they know they will be gone.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you really that riled up over a role-playing game that you're not even a part of anymore?

Stop and listen to yourself. You want mods to make their first priority a game? It isn't just about lives, it's about priority. That's how it goes in the world of role-playing, so sorry. Game SHOULD come second to EVERYTHING ELSE.

[ashira.livejournal.com]

Thank you, dearest anonymous. ♥

[case]

Not really, I'm just having fun with people being stupid.

[ashira.livejournal.com]

Oh, my god... Except is kinda IS the point. Somehow I don't think finding other people to take on their job while they're off engaging in that thing called real-life, which I presume is a foreign concept to you people making such a huge fuss with your "I want it NOW NOW NOW", is as easy as you might think it is.

[case]

HAHAHAHA ok

Obviously I have no life now because I think people should take responsibilities to other people seriously

It's like this comm, see? If I can't update, I let someone know so they can do it for me. So I don't piss people off! It's pretty easy to understand, ya?

[(Anonymous)]

Simply put, it's not that simple in running anything, from an RP, a game, hell, even a group in MOST REAL LIFE SITUATIONS LIKE A JOB OR A SCHOOL PROJECT. You can't expect 6 people with drastically different schedules and lifestyles, as well as problems, upbringings, understandings, and opinions to be able to agree to each and everything on spot.

Time zones, work loads, personal conflicts, and perhaps even a chance to have fun ON THEIR OWN TIME. The Mods are not PAID to run an RPG, they do it out of their own choice, and they have to, not only keep up and uphold their own Rules and serve as a role model for other players. It is not a Job where they are expected to meet certain quotas and only that, it is not a task given to them by someone, it is a full time, stress ridden hell that they must fit into their already cramed schedules. You can bitch and moan about getting it all in, but you have to come to terms with the fact that they are human. And Fuck, fate and time love throwing curve balls.

Yes, I understand, there are a few mods who do not seem to pull their weight, but this causes the others to strain and try to fill in that gap. It's not quite as fair.

The Mods for apps have a 2 mod approval policy, and often there is only ONE mod who knows the series well enough to make a call, especially with those animes or series that are obscure. If you say "then have that ONE mod do those apps" you run into yet another problem. Then the character is subject to their point of view, and the RP group becomes ridged and stale, and quite frankly BORING. At least with two, there could be two different views agreeing on that one fandom.

Even if you hand off the job to another mod, then you'll just run into the same problem. And then there is the 'getting used to period' and the other jobs, the taken character cleanup, character disputes, and 'hinting' and lazy asses to get back and active. You can complain and bitch all you like, but do you actually take the time to try and send them an email instead of some childish 'fandomsecret' bitchfest?

Also, consider that quite a few apps go along like so" They arrive, they go wtf, and go nuts". Not as descriptive as a "who I am, what do I want, and do I understand the goals of this character". You the player have a responsibility to the mod to provide as much info in one sitting, and they have to put it to their judgment if they think it is usable and enjoyable for the game, just like at a job, you are to provide to the maximum of your abilities and your boss will direct you to what you need to improve on. IT IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO PLAY BLAME GAME. Except the mods don't get paychecks.

Whine, bitch, complain complain complain, if that is all you are going to do, then take the driver's seat and see how well you do. It's like when you're a kid, you bitch and complain that your parents have let you do anything, and then when you grow up, OMG, SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY. They were players who decided I wanted to help run this and fill a gap. When they are obviously failing, shouldn't it be the PLAYERS who then step up to plate, take SOME time out of THEIR schedules and try and Help? That's what I think a community is.

Not everything is fun and games, and if you think it should, go back to mommy and daddy for more childish pampering.

[case]

Haha dude, chill, I'm not even part of the game. Whine bitch complain complain -- sure, but I DID do something! I quit!

I'm just trying to explain the principle of the thing to people that DON'T SEEM TO GET that when you sign on as a mod for something? You're agreeing to take on responsibilities (OK, it's not life or death, but when 100+ people are banking on you to be there, I'd take that seriously). And when you have responsibilities, you should take care of them... or step down, if you can't handle it.

brb getting childish pampering

... The random Capitalization is pretty Amusing

[gaulish.livejournal.com]

Jesus fucking Christ. If you're that cirtical about the application process, maybe you would be kind to note the moderators have separate divisions on who does what. Not only that, we've had some moderators take some personal hiatuses before in the span of the months I've been there.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Are you seriously going to piss and MOAN about that? Can you read at ALL? Because maybe, JUST MAYBE, I'm blind, but CLEARLY it states the moderators have different job titles. MAYBE THAT'S JUST ME.

[case]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it circles back around to

"maybe they should get more people to help, then!!!"

We're having fun here.

[dreadnot.livejournal.com]

This is the song that never ends, my friends.

[case]

Keep on singing~

[(Anonymous)]

Not only that, we've had some moderators take some personal hiatuses before in the span of the months I've been there.

That's something I never understood. The players aren't allowed to go on hiatuses for longer than a month yet the mods are? The players shouldn't go on repeated hiatuses back to back after a few weeks in between yet the mods are?

[(Anonymous)]

Have you considered that the majority if not all the mods are college students and this IS finals week?

[gaulish.livejournal.com]

So tell me have any of you people considered the amount of PLAYERS plus the applications that come in MEAN ANYTHING?

I mean. Really. I'm trying to comprehend your logic here of "WOE APPLICATIONS TAKE TOO LOONG ;;" but I can't, considering the size of this game. THE SIZE.

Six people who have lives. Six people have separate divisional JOBS. Should there be people to approve applications? Maybe. But should there be so much WHINING over it? Absolutely fucking not. The mods are not around 24/7, suck it up and get over it. A week and a half is FAST for the size of this game. There are over 100 members. GET OVER IT.

[(Anonymous)]

Are the mods fellating your e-penis for sticking up for them?

[gaulish.livejournal.com]

Logic. Do you speak it.

[dreadnot.livejournal.com]

Where do I get an e-penis? Where do I get the line of fellatrices? I'm so fucking there, babe.

[infringe.livejournal.com]

The mods are not around 24/7, suck it up and get over it.

I find it funny how, even after all what technophile's been saying, you went back to the MODS HAVE LIVES!!!! argument.

I LOL'D ALkfjalfkjalwkjrlakjfa

EVERY WEEK IS FINALS WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

Or apparently it was also finals week three weeks ago? And the month before that? And before that, too.
