We said majority rules in the last poll post, that still stands and you can keep voting between the three options of a community system, a journal system, or no preference. The neutral vote is not a weak vote! It means you are happy to work with whichever system wins and that's a legitimate group within this game. We would however prefer you vote than to not vote at all so we the mods can get a better picture of the entirety of the game. This neutral option arose due to the fact that we were made aware of people not voting at all for the previous poll regarding the move from Livejournal to Dreamwidth.
Because the hybrid system was proposed after the opening of the poll we will be doing a run off vote based on the winning system. Therefore, if a community based system wins we will be doing a run off between a pure community system and a hybrid community system. If a journal based system wins we will be doing a run off between a pure journal system and a hybrid journal system. A hybrid is a compromise meant to utilize the format of one system while still allowing players to somehow utilize the benefits of another.
However we promised that gameplay would officially occur on Dreamwidth on January 15 and we do not want to halt gameplay in any way. Therefore depending on tonight's results we will roll out a run off poll that will also be open for the same duration of 3 days. During that time which will overlap with the official reopening on Dreamwidth, we ask that you use the poly_chromatic community reading list to play until the run off results come in. After the run off poll closes, you'll still use the community reading list until we make an announcement that will outline all the changes based on the results.
With that said we want to reiterate that you can change your vote in the current poll here, knowing that there will be a run off between the majority winning system and its hybrid partner later on. This post outlines as many pros and cons we could find based on our own knowledge and what was discussed by other players for both journal and community systems.
You can continue submitting applications normally until the closure of the open application week this Sunday but please be aware there may be a delay in processing them while these polls go on. For that we apologize ;-;
