DO NOT JOIN luceat_eisThis is the most ridiculous application process I have ever went through. My initial app was thin, -- but twice over I bulked it up at mod's request till it was sitting about 13 pages. I was finally accepted-- after they sat on it for two days and only one mod looked at it

Actually, the application process used to be a lot more arduous - the current mods have made it a hell of a lot more accessible to everyone. I did seven different write-ups of my Sephiroth application, four of which were total scrap-and-rewrites(although they did warn me that they were going to be particularly strict for such a powerful, prone-to-god-modding character).

Honestly? And this has nothing whatsoever to do with your bashing a game I love, because I don't expect LE to be for everyone - your complaint is ridiculous. You don't need a paid journal to play in LE, or any other LJ game I've ever heard of, and making a new journal is easy; I've done it dozens of times. You could easily have made a free journal for Zuko that would have been more than acceptable to all the mods of the game. And believe me, using the same journal for several different games is confusing enough for everyone else - maybe not confusing for you, but for the people who play with you - that I wouldn't blame any mod for refusing to let you into the game on those grounds, in LE or any other game. I've modded games and I wouldn't permit that.

You were being incredibly inflexible over what should have been an extremely minor matter, and I'm not terribly surprised the mods viewed this as a bad omen.

That said, if you don't like LE, that's your call. But it sounds like your bad experience with the game was brought on by refusing to do something really simple and then having a bad attitude about it when the mods insisted that, you know, you follow the rules they set up for the game they created.

My problem is this; There was no rule stating it, so why should I be punished for breaking a rule that didn't exist until I requested permission to do it?

There was no rule broken. I merely wouldn't comply with an unreasonable request: I had a fully functional paid LJ with icons and features. They wanted me to use a new livejournal. I didn't want to. They booted me for a rule that hadn't existed until AFTER I joined.

Bad modding, all around.

You weren't punished. You were asked to do something for the benefit of the other players and refused. That's not exactly an attitude mods like to see.

Also, one of the reasons it wasn't a rule is because it's never needed to be a rule before. I never realized people actually allowed playing the same journal in different games concurrently; it sounds incredibly inconvenient and confusing.

And you weren't exactly booted just for refusing to comply with something the mods asked of you - you were booted because you got pissy with said mods about being asked to do what really is a very simple thing. They even offered to pay for a new character journal for you, by their own admission. You can't tell me that's the action of an unreasonable person, willing to shell out money for you just to make you more comfortable when a free journal would serve your purposes just as well.

I have been asked by someone else to no longer respond to you in specific. :) But I'm just going to freeze these threads because apparently, you're not seeing where I'm coming from at all. I'm sorry you can't, but apparently... eh, you're just not seeing it.

Have a nice day!
