31. I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. The whole game is horribly unorganized and very unapproachable for newbies. And the reactions I'm seeing only cement that impression.

Umm... are you really saying that because you mean it, or just want to jump in the BASH BASH crowd? Because really, I have not heard of one new person having trouble.

Or if you meant the step before getting in, then it's merely a case of confidence. There many more intimidating RP's, such as Damned or CFUD, you may have heard of them.

And I honestly to see how any of the reactions cement the impression.

Also, if you ignore how ill-updated the taken character list is, I find it organized enough.

No, it's something I've felt for some time. A friend's been pimping the game at me for months.

I'm mostly talking about the fact that the userinfo is a jumbled mess of capslock and random links, the application page has no actual application form, and the only response to some applications is linking one of the mod's applications as the end all of how you should app.

I've apped and played at CFUD, so it's less a matter of intimidation and more-so the fact that the RP looks very unwelcoming to anyone who might have been interested in playing.

App form is right there on the userinfo and if copypasting someone else's app and deleting their actual app part out is more difficult than making a secret about/getting worked up over it, more power to you I guess.

(Anonymous) 2007-11-09 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm not the secret-maker, I was just saying my two cents in solidarity.

Even my friend who plays more than a few characters there didn't know where the application form was when I asked. It's kind of buried under the wall of tl;dr and capslock there.

[identity profile] tales-fanatic.livejournal.com 2007-11-09 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Well, it's hard to know since... bandwagon's are rather common online, no offence.

By no actual application form, you mean the one that is found on the userinfo, right? As for the last point, I have never seen that. Have I seen it used as a point in terms of structure, yes. But in a whole other post.

... Well, I guess that is a matter of preference as the apping process in CFUD scares me to hell.

(Anonymous) 2007-11-09 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
It scares the players who are already in, too. It never really wears off. We need a support group for app anxiety.

[identity profile] melts.livejournal.com 2007-11-09 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Just to clarify, everything is right there on the userinfo page. We didn't want to set up the RP so that there were 23094309 links to 30948203940293 other pages, and applicants have to click around like something rabid. And I've never commented to apps with ONLY a link to another mod's application, so don't know where you're getting your info \o_O/. I do very rarely tell people to go back and re-read our policy on sample posts, but that page doesn't have JUST my apps or another mod's apps, either. Otherwise, I tell them right there in the comment why we rejected them.

I dunno, others are arguing but I understand what you mean. It's messy. S-so, I'm not ARGUING with you or anything. Just wanted to share that while it IS a jumbled mess of capslock and random links... I like it. |D;;; It think it's funny. I thought it looked very welcoming.

I'm really not trying to diss your preference or the more organized places, just sharing my own preferences? I like the messy rambling. I kind of get intimidated by the ones that are very matter of fact, organized list of links to everything you need, etc. I know it's unreasonable of me, you don't need to tell me DX;; It's not like the rambling is totally off-topic from the RP, and even just skimming, I didn't have any real trouble finding the app post link or the application, so. Um, but that's not saying that no one has trouble.

Oh, but I wanna argue one thing: The links to other apps thing. I've never seen that happen once. o.o
