Modly update from me this time ♥
#1. Applications will be closed until the end of April. I realize we'll probably still be getting some apps from new people (and if you've already sent something, we'll still be processing those, don't worry, just not quickly), which I'll deal with. Other than that though, no applications of any sort will be dealt with until May. It's cram time for us, both being busy with school, and while we aren't planning on disappearing off the face of the earth or totally neglecting the community, cutting back on this will make a big difference for both of us. So just hold off until May and then I promise we'll get back to replying to things quickly (as in, the old kind of quickly, not the kind we've been doing lately).
#2. No applications will be accepted for any Suikoden V characters until Sam and I, or at least one of us, has played the game. I understand that it just came out and everyone's playing it and excited and I know a couple people have already approached me about taking on characters from it. The problem is, the two of us don't want to judge applications for characters we know nothing about. It's not fair to the characters or to the other muns, because we can't be expected to be able to make an educated decision on whether an application seems fitting or not when we don't have any knowledge of the characters. We did that when Suikoden IV came out and though it might not have seemed that way it was really disastrous, and this seems to be the only way to avoid that. Not to mention that there are lots of people who won't be able to play the game right away the instant it comes out, so this will create a sort of grace period, as well.
Thanks for understanding guys--seriously we don't meant to be the Suikoden Gestapo here, just have to do things to keep us running smoothly.
Also noteworthy, Sam's swearing off AIM for the month of April as she's got a shit ton to do. I (unlike last year at this time) will be around, though not as often. Feel free to message through my away messages, but know that sometimes the computer does things like, you know, crash and die horribly. So if I don't get back to you ever just try again, politely. Sometimes I'm just busy ^^; I'll do what I can.
Back to watching skating videos and wishing certain organizations would eat shit and die now, catch you all later ♥
