re: Poll

[these_balls]

Alright guys, brief announcement.

We're going to end the poll on January 11There was an overwhelming majority leaning towards ending it early, but we want to make sure there's a plan in mind with all moderators on board when the poll results are calculated. Therefore, we've bumped it two extra days

I know you guys are trying to get all mods on board and calculate a decision, but five days is an awfully long time to wait when the game is already in a lull. I honestly feel like this is killing the game. Players are afraid to post because the game might move or LJ is giving them too much trouble. Others are impatient and want a quick decision.

116 players voted as of yesterday, there might be more now. I'd assume most of the playerbase has voted already.

I apologize if I sound rude or blunt. I'm just being honest here as someone who enjoys the game and doesn't want it to tank.

EDIT: And lemme clarify that I don't expect a move to happen overnight. It'd just be nice to have a decision made so people can prepare.

Stormy here, sorry I haven't switched accounts. It's just adding two days to the other decision. We're not doing this just for the players; the date was chosen so all the moderators would be around for the voting, namely the one who was busy the entire break and is flying halfway around the world and trying to get re-settled with everything as well as jet lag

+1 to the above

Not sure if this is overstepping or anything, as I understand like the person above me that you all want to make sure this is done properly but I agree with their comments entirely.

It's taken me a week to do something like six tags and normally I am usually one of the quickest taggers ever, yet I really want to play here, I just can't. I get white screens almost every time I load the page, but I'm trying my best to get through this struggle. The morale has really dropped for the game though, so it's hard to keep going at full force when a lot of people are twiddling their thumbs as well

We chose the 16th to make sure latecomers and those gone on holiday would still get to vote, and ending it early is rather unfair to them have they not voted already; however, it's only being changed by two days which really is not a large difference

[ttlyahero]

Yet again, no offense with this but I'm a little confused how you guys haven't discussed this at all, despite everything going on for around two weeks already. I understand that Ara has been busy and is travelling back etc, that I can account for. It's just... confusing that you didn't just set up a private plurk between you all to at least come up with basic ideas of what to do either way

[islandshore]

I agree. I think a part of this mess is that the poll wasn't multiple choice. I imagine that if it had been, this wouldn't be quite as difficult to work out. But also, I feel like it would have been a good idea to have a plan in mind when the poll went up on the off chance that a move did happen
