Okay

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

I just pm'ed the mod account about it, and seeing as how they have been so responsive to other questions/critique/comments hopefully something can be done about it as we don't seem to be in the minority here.

one can hope, I knew other people who were finishing up their apps for tomorrow too.

I will! I am also pretty upset about it because I pm'ed the mod account yesterday about the app-ability of a certain character and hadn't yet received a response, but they are busy so I didn't think much of it and I thought I did have some time. Previously they had answered my app questions within a few hour turnaround.

Well tonight I had some free time on my hands so I figured I might as well put the app together and just send it, and hope, so thats what I did. But when I refreshed the app page after sending it , it said they were closed. So :|.

One would think they would have responded and said " while we dont have the time to judge whether this character has sufficient canon, you may still send your app in before apps close in X".

TLDR; Basically I was waiting for a clarification from them and never heard back and suddenly apps closed! But they've really been so nice so far, so I am hoping they just make them close at 8pm eastern tomorrow, as thats when most people thought it would close. I would argue if they wanted this time to be cleared it should be labeled better, and they should say X- 4/3 (23:59 GMT). Etc.

okay, i'm going to be the devil's advocate here and ask why they should change it just because you misread it. i'll agree that it's unusual, but so far it seems like 'unusual' and 'not what i'm used to' is becoming par for the course for this game. that being said, they DO list the actual time. it's up there. most people get it. that you and a few others misunderstood it isn't their fault. check the times against your own if you're unsure.

i could understand getting upset over the reserve/app problem because that literally wasn't written or listed anywhere and that was a serious communication problem which they realized was on their side and they acted accordingly. but in this case, they do have the time up there. it's right there. whether people misunderstood it or not isn't their fault. i agree it's unconventional to have it END at :01 instead of START at :01 like most places do, but that's how they chose to do it.

that you haven't been answered about an app question is more concerning to me than the time screw up. if you sent your app in and they say it was too late, merely refer to the question you were waiting on in their pms and state that's why you held off. they'll likely grant you the ability to app it.

Yup, I completely agree with everything you said. I did state this in the PM I sent them, as I do believe they should have communicated with me prior to apps closing (and it's not like I PM'ed them this morning).

Still, I feel for everyone involved, nothing against the mods, as my previous correspondence with them has been awesome.

Looking at the timestamps, if you PMed them just before your "I just PMed them" comment, they would've needed a time machine to get back to you before apps closed.

i think they meant 'they pmd them about something to do with revisions earlier and pmd them again when they saw the apps were closed ABOUT the previous pm'

Aye, this anon is right. Sorry for the confusion, I had pm'ed them on the morning of the 2nd asking an app question.

I would suggest anyone who has any questions/concerns to ask the mods directly!
