Poll on Applications

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.

A little late for opinions, but i guess ill just put in a quick two cents anyway.... I personally think that going for a once-a-month cycle is a REALLY bad idea. Asgard, where I also play at, has a once amonth cycle, but I feel like for about a good week the entire network is FLOODED with intro posts, and the only real way to tame this is to slam down the mingle log, which im also in favour PARTIALLY

though at the other game im at, CapeAndCowl, theyve got applications every other week, which is GREAT because there's really not THAT many intro posts being thrown into my face at once over that way. There's no mingle log there, and i wonder if in this case a mingle log is going to just add to the spam of intro posts

So yeah my vote indicates id prefer a two week cycle, certainly by a long shot
