Found the token ace

Rundown:

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

since some people were interested in apping in the touken ranbu cast on previous rpanons posts: a space opened up for this app round

and after the way that tittybaby player trash talked the mods good riddance

Deets?

they got swept while they were on hiatus during the AC check and couldn't respond to to the warning because they didn't have internet at the time.

iirc they talked to the mods when they found out (they offered to take a strike or to do a reclaim like they had dropped), and the mods responded that they couldn't take back the sweep to be fair to other players and they could reapp the next round after this as per the idling out penalty.

Yeah, it's only fair to apply the rules by the book here especially as other TR players should get a chance to app in.

Thanks for the information.

your welcome, and i agree completely even as someone who is friends with the cast

while i understand the frustration because some games keep notice when you're hiatused and exempt you, I'm fairly sure Cerealia is too big of a game to keep track of those things, plus it has a very generous ac window. you shouldn't just assume that kind of thing, and the mods are just doing what they're supposed to do.

And the rules already make it clear that only a hiatus above 2 weeks is considered as full exemption. There's no excuse to not know a game's hiatus rules and then whine about it after the fact, they had plenty of chances to prevent themselves from being idled out.

DA

They were angry the mods were following their own rules and threw a fit over it on plurk. It was a mistake on their part for iirc not having a hiatus long enough to be exempt and/or not asking a friend to just post to AC for them while they're without internet.

They could've taken it gracefully and accepted it, but instead they trashtalked the mods and honestly I wouldn't want to thread with them anyway after that display.

Seconded, the mods were just doing what was right here and I'd heavily side-eye anyone who throws a fit over a situation they could have easily prevented.

what makes this worse is that they have had the time and ability to declare a hiatus in their other two games so idk how they screwed themselves out of this one. good riddance anyway if they'll behave like that.

this is not a direct transcript of the plurk in question because the other players in this discussion shouldn't be under scrutiny, but here are some quotes-

sun jing.
Apparently being on hiatus and or going to a third world country are grounds for being Too Special to be exempt
sun jing.
Yeah they said I didn't contact them properly and they can't show ~favoritism~~~~ by letting me submit ac or getting a strike
sun jing.
I'm bitter too because lol? Rp is not more important? We both had valid reasons and I legit had no internet. Like way to not tell me how to contact them and then wait til I'm already swept
sun jing.
To tell me oh sorry you did it "wrong"
sun jing.
"Doing their jobs" lol

They're doing their jobs by not coddling people who can't be damned to double-check the validity of their hiatus.

Of course they're going to wait until the player is swept then, it's not a mod's duty to assume who's on a ~legit~ hiatus and who's not, and anyone with half a brain to think should have proposed an alternative like giving AC in advance or just have filed for one long enough to exempt them.

Seriously, good riddance.

ugh i saw that plurk and it was so gross. i hope neither of them come back and even if they do, i won't be tagging them bc that level of entitlement is crazy

"rp is not more important" yeah then stop throwing a tantrum over it? you fucked up, stop blaming the mods for it

just like on wg, this is no worse than anything else in that plurk tbh and is edited/positioned without context.
player is in other games, legit did have no internet, and was able to talk to the other game mods to work things out. also realized on their own that the hiatus at cerealia wasn't long enough but still tried to contact the mods about it. iirc mods did not reply or offer any suggestions. player also offered to have a strike or work something out due to hiatus not being long enough (as another anon pointed out) and wasn't asking for a free pass so uh... could be worse.
