Little Reminders
As a reminder to everyone, the IC Requests to the Gods (both on the IC requests page, and the Upper Level applications) will NOT be responded to, until the new Gods come in to play. I understand that everyone wants their requests filled in a timely manner, but Medea and Asclepius are currently unavailable to handle the requests, due to the end of the world and all. :o
Also, we've had several people ask, and I thought I'd re-post it again here : Activity checks HAVE gone back to every two weeks.
And as a final reminder, we are aware that applications are needing to be responded to. But we simply haven't had the time to look them over, in between other issues we've been handling, as well as our real lives. In between Kaz working, and my finals, the apps have been overlooked the past four days. Please keep in mind that we will get to the apps, we haven't forgotten about them.
Well, that was an almost final reminder. There is one last issue that needs to be discussed. From now on, if you wish for your character to return back home and then return to Purg a time later, there are now guidelines.
- It can only be done with mod approval. So IM or e-mail the mods before sending a character home.
- It can only be done once per character. If you have already done it, you can't do it again.
- The character must remain gone for a period of at least two days (48 hours, if you'd rather hear it in hourly terms). They can't come back sooner, but you are welcome to keep them gone longer if you'd prefer that.
- Characters cannot return home if it is only to obtain new powers, learn of the future, or to get out of a situation that their player has gotten them into. If there is an actual issue, where another character has done something to yours and you're stuck in a rut and can't get out of it, that's another story. Come to the mods and we'll find a solution. We're not outright banning sending a character home, but we feel that it needs to be something done in a select few cases, not the majority.
I'm sorry if this upsets anyone, but some guidelines need to be established. ♥
Kaz-mod edit; Seconding everything here, of course. For those potentially making faces at the guidelines re: sending charries back home, well crap... what's the point in bringing them to a place to atone for their sins if they can up and leave whenever, and then pop right back in in a matter of days? :/ Blaaagh. Hopefully, you guys are okay with this... we've had quite a few complaints about characters up and disappearing for no apparent reason, and then returning very soon after. I think that what we forget much of the time is that what we do with our characters can vastly effect other characters-- taking someone's best friend away from them out of the blue can really sting, bbs. ): PLZ. THINK OF THE PUPPETS.
Now, as far as getting to requests and handling questions/apps/etc, everyone's patience is hugely appreciated. Many of you know we've had a whack of stuff land on our laps since becoming mods here, and unfortunately, they're matters that will have to take priority until they're sorted out. ): Between Brandi and I, lists are being updated, reserves are being noted, and hiatuses are being acknowledged, so don't worry about that. The IC Requests are taking a bit, but once the new Godly kiddos come into play, rest assured your IC requests will be tackled. :o
A post discussing changes we want to introduce to you and gather input on is underway, so watch for that. ♥ And as always, please, never be afraid to contact Brandi, Ferret or I with anything you guys need. ♥
Thanks.
