I think they're fair if the mod team doesn't suck/is unbiased because the best player of character x should be the one that gets to have them in game.

What sucks is that people are really immature about this sort of thing. Losing an app challenge is often the end of the world for most RPers and if it's a cast situation, and the castmates already in game are friends, and the person who loses the app challenge is in tight with them, it's practically a guarantee of drama. I've seen a lot of pressure for the person who won the app challenge to drop under those circumstances-- usually covertly, just given the tittybaby nature of this place.

Furthermore, most mods will turn a blind eye to "cast drama" because it's generally expected to be handled among the people in question, as well as the default expectation that if your cast doesn't seem to like you, you drop, and that solves the problem.

There's also the issue of people apping a character in an attempt to freeze out a particular player, for whatever reason. I'll confess to having done this a few times in the past, but that's only because the person trying to app in was both wanky and a mediocre RPer, and no one in the cast wanted to deal with that.
