DO NOT JOIN luceat_eis!

DO NOT JOIN luceat_eis!

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 ( Read more... )

I'm sure someone explained this to you when you were talking to the mods, though no one did so in this entry, so I just thought I'd clarify in case someone skipped over it.

The reason Luceat Eis insists on having distinct journals for each character is that the journaling is a part of the roleplaying. All of the character journals are linked, and the characters are supposed to update them with their ic thoughts on the events that take place in the game. Since the version of the character that's keeping the journal exists only in the LE universe, the only way to keep the posts restricted to LE universe stuff is to have an LE specific journal...otherwise, non-LE posts would show up on the friends-pages of the characters in LE. In massive nexus-style games it's alright to have multi-game journals, but LE isn't connected to a multi-game network.

You can always use the 13 page app for another game...at least the parts that weren't specifically tailored to the LE universe. It's nice to have a highly-detailed app lying around if you play the same character in many games.

If these other games-- and I have several people who follow my character's actions through games they're not even in from games they are in-- can handle saying 'Oh, this has a MILLIWAYS TAG' or 'this has an APHARSITES TAG' I do not see why the players of luceat_eis are special enough to warrent NOT having to do the same.

Ferox Academy had the same idea; Zuko's IC journal was kept here. His entries were clearly flagged. ALL the entries are. But apparently this is good enough for several other games, but not good enough for luceat_eis.

When this was explained to the mods, they said that it wasn't good enough, and that I was out of luck. I call this being inflexible and intractable. Therefore, bad moderation. Bad moderation means I warn people away from the game so they don't get frustrated going through the app process when they encounter moderators who don't know their jobs or how to do things like compromise or work with a player.

I understand that you don't seem to grasp where I'm coming from -- but I'd appreciate it if you and your friends would stop coming over here to repeat yourselves in varying degrees of 'You're wrong and I love this game'. Great, good for you. I happpen to disagree with you, I think you're wrong, and I'm tired of responding to repeat what I've said across four threads now.

I'm going to freeze this thread, like I have the others. If anyone else responds, I'll just screencap the comments for prosterity, and then nuke them by setting the entry NO COMMENT.

Thanks, and have a nice day.
