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.

How soon is it okay to prod the mods about the status of my application? It'll be a week at 7pm EST today. would it be okay to ask about it now?

I'm still waiting too anon. And from some other mod things.

My guess is they are just super busy with the battle stuff this time around.

They are getting to your app. They do them in batches. Yours is likely in the last batch (and no, they don't do them numerically. I would guess they do them by familiarity)

It just sucks because if I don't get in before tomorrow, I won't be able to sign up for the battle with the jabberwock and get on the roster. I thought it would be a great way to throw my character into the game since they're the kind of person who would get involved with that sort of thing.

And yeah, I know there's a possibility of getting rejected so I might not get to play at all, but still.

You need to communicate to the mods, not here.

that's why I was asking if it was too soon to prod them about it. I don't want to step on toes if they're legitimately too busy right now

They probably wouldn't mind!

Waiting here too anon.

Where is the jabberwock post? I feel like if I get in I'm gonna have to do a mad dash to get involved in things :(.

this seems really unfair

It is what it is, anon. There's just too much happening in the next four months for it to be put off. You'll get in and you can backtag in the plotting post if you want. The event lasts for long enough that you can get involved easily and I'm sure most people won't mind a PM or you tagging into open logs. The game is more than willing to work with newbies, so don't be in such a rush.

The event is also for boons, so they're not necessary to partake of or anything like that.

why?

i mean the mods should have tried to ensure to finish all apps prior to this but i dont think thats necessarily unfair. it just happens.

if they can't handle the apps then a smaller cap would be smart

they have about a hundred things they're juggling between apps and the timeskip, and let's not forget that the mods have lives. how about we all just be thankful that things are running as smoothly as they are?

TBF you could say this about any mod and they still get crap. People are just entitled little bitches.

I understand mods are busy, have lives etc. But it's poor planning. If they didn't decide to hold an app round that would be understandable, but if you're going to commit to something like this it seems unfair given that they didn't process them all at once.

If all newbies were waiting that would be something else entirely, but the potential last few of us really got the short end of the stick here in multiple ways.

I agree they probably should have not held an app round (and I am an apper) due to the timing because it makes it harder for both mods and newbies. But at this point things are done and the mods are probably trying their best. I actually think having the app around was pretty generous of them.

you might also want to consider that the mods probably didn't expect apps to fill up in five minutes. even last round with the cap, apping wasn't quite as tight.

cut them some slack this time.

you realize that if they'd held off for TWO app rounds (making it six months before anyone could enter) there would be the biggest stink raised? they're already not having an app round because of the time skip. they are minimizing their thinness as much as they can. if you're that concerned, rescind your fuckign app. i'd rather not have someone in game who micromanages to the level you seem to. events start early in the month. they've always started early in the month. not all applicants get involved, in game already or not. you guys filled up 60 spots in 3 minutes. don't expect that kind of reciprocal turn over.

you'll still be able to get involved in things, anon. don't despair! there are plenty of players who are willing to plot late and will want to help you get involved. sorry you have to wait long, though. i know it can be completely discouraging. but if you get in, throw yourself into the plotting post comments and into the logs!

Yeah it does seem really unfair to me to close sign-ups so early. I hope they at least give the people who just got in a chance.

maybe contact them? most people never had to wait that long.

not in the game, but does each not have app mods? they should probably consider getting some if there are so many complaints about delays

Eachdraidh is probably the most popular game on Dreamwidth right now. And one of the largest, and therefore one of the most difficult to manage. Pretty sure they're doing the best they can, all things considered.

I would be very surprised if we didn't see a new batch pushed out soon, so hopefully that'll tide the impatient crowd over.

read the thread, anon. not in the game or not, it's been mentioned more than once that there's more app mods that've been added.
