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.

I have the unpopular opinion on mingle logs here. It's more of a concern. I mean, I can see the usefulness of it and how it would help intro people and allow for CR to develop. But, when you see mods accept apps in games, they break it up into sections, because they are people after all. I think I'd die if I tried accepting a billion apps all at once in one sitting.

But with mingle logs during a cycle or whatever the first batch of people goes to the mingle log and they post. So, more than likely people will get excited and start tagging. And apps usually take a week to process, but I'm getting to my point now sorry.

What I worry is that those accepted at the END of the cycle will post to the mingle log and find themselves getting little to no tags since everyone might be tagged out by intro mingles. I dunno, those are my concerns.

But I also just don't want to see people getting next to nothing with their individual intros so yeah.
