Poll on Applications

[havenmods]

I apologize for this going up so early in the day; however, I will be celebrating a family birthday tonight and not around at the usual 7PM EST.

I've received a few concerns about the application process currently. When I started this game, I wrote "I hope there are a lot of these :)" under the Taken Characters heading. I'm ecstatic to see that my hopes have come true, and that the game is continually growing.

Unfortunately, accepting applications each day has a slightly adverse effect. Characters being introduced are perhaps lost a little in the flood, and existing characters spend each day explaining about being trapped. I would hopefully like to come up with a change that benefits all parties involved.

To this end, I'm having another poll. There are headers within this post to vote (as you need a paid journal for a real poll), so please make sure to comment under the right heading.

The choices are as follows:

-> Applications remain open constantly, but are only processed once a week on Fridays
-> Applications remain open constantly, but are only processed once every other Friday
-> Applications move into a set app cycle where they are open for one week per month
-> Applications remain as they are now

There will also be a discussion thread, so please feel free to bring up any concerns or questions there. This poll will close on the 7th December, and the results will be announced with the ejected list.

Thank-you.

Just bringing up a point I'm not sure has been addressed yet (it's 6 AM and I haven't read through everything yet). Would you be processing the first and third weeks or the second and fourth? It's generally the first and third, when games do this, and that would mean that if you keep the event schedule as it has been these past couple of months, that would put one of the acceptance cycles right smack-dab during the event. Or right before it, but that's still the same problem.

Just making sure it's taken into account how much accepting a whole round of apps into a game during an event is not such a good idea. fff.

It's not been mentioned, but I would sort out the scheduling. I'm aware having apps open during an event would be a bad idea, don't worry.
