Stop being awesome. You're doing a wonderful job, mods, and the game is getting better all the time!

I was under the impression the new rules would imply that the player would have to post 30 comments regardless of method, not that they would have to get 30 comments or just put up a post. The latter sounds incredibly cheap to me. The character should have to get 30 comments (that's one tag a day, seeing as the space of the AC has been bumped up to a month) whether on their own thread or in other peoples. These current rules seem unfair.
What's your criteria for judging the people who only submit a post they've made?

All in all, we were pretty lenient this time around. In the next mod post, I hope to clarify what we're really expecting so that the next AC will be smoother, fairer, and a little more strict.

So what I'm saying is that different timezones lead to slower tagging in general and earlier cut-off points, depending on whether the thread is actually going somewhere important and how insistent the taggers are to lead said thread to a conclusion. Which makes it very difficult for people like me to have threads of ten comments or longer.
So a medium would be nice. Maybe players should be allowed to link four threads instead of three? Still with the 30 comment minimum, of course.

But Meowzy is actually right here, this is a problem I get (the thread drops happening to me due to timezones). Whilst I have a talkative character, making it easy to pass the AC even if I've been on hiatus, I can understand how excruciatingly difficult this would be for those with the more silent types.
Upping the thread limit to 4 instead of 3 gives a massive amount of leeway for the silent (and villain) characters to pass the AC. It also reduces the pressure applied onto them, and I personally think that sounds very fair. Just keep an eye out for which characters are posting links to 4 threads (for example, if a very talkative character dropped 4 short thread links, it would be suspicious on their behalf). Obviously, it's not your job to know every character and canon, but it might help to be more judgmental of those who post more links than less links. My ( ... )

First and foremost, I would like to state that I appreciate everything you mods do for us. Luceti is a huge game, and there's a lot of things that come up, and you guys handle it to the best of your ability as far as I've seen. You can't make everyone happy, that's for sure, but you seem to do your best to be fair about it. So I thank you for that.
That said, I have some issues with the way the draft lists are handled. I understand the way it's done - we muns sign our characters up and when draft time comes along, you go in order down the list, clearing it out once a draft is over. First come, first serve, which is fine.
And yet, each time a new draft list comes out, I always seem to be seeing a lot of the same names over and over. Yuber, Kain, Rydia, Nu, Ceasar, Buffy, Shadow, Vincent. There may be more, but the fact that I can ( ... )

I can't speak for all of us, of course, but... While it's true that there are characters who are signed up again soon after the list is cleared - like Nu here - at least for some of us, we sign them up again because they have some sort of reason to go to drafts frequently (case in point, this thread from before the first draft last year, where the mods actually commented on the case of one of the characters you listed).
Besides that, the time window for signing up your characters after the list is cleared isn't exactly that small. For example, the list for the previous draft went up on December 9th. People were able to reregister starting from the 12th (in fact, it might have been a little earlier than that, but that's when the first person from the December draft reregistered), and the fact that the list was officially cleared out was mentioned on the 13th in a mod post. This time, everyone up to the bottom of ( ... )

That said, I know it was the same when the drafts first started. I've been here since before then. Like I said in my original comment, I've actually been bothered by this for awhile, I was just hoping something might change before I felt the need to say anything.
And... I actually think I'll have to disagree with what you said on the timeframe new muns have. When you consider how long it takes some of those apps to even be accepted compared to how quickly muns already in the game will sign up once it's announced the list is clear, that's still a pretty small window. If your app is among the last to be accepted, you could sign up the moment you get in and still be behind everyone else.
I don't see how that's logical, or more importantly, fair. Well, ( ... )

I'm inclined to disagree with what you said there regarding the time frame new muns have to sign up, though - as I mentioned in my comment to the anon below, I'm among the ones who recently apped a new character as well. And despite the fact he was accepted the day applications closed again and the fact that I hesitated for a while before signing him up (which led to me not actually doing so until January 16th), he... ended up on page 4. Which, once the post is cleared out again, means he's likely going to end up on the first page - as will a lot of other new characters on that page. Yes, these characters don't get to go this time, and will thus still have to wait a few more months before the next draft, but... well, considering the fact that this time, the first three pages of characters were ( ... )
