Policy Discussion

[singularitymods.livejournal.com]

Some of Singularity's players have questions about the game policies on AU character applications. This post has been put up to allow players to approach the staff to ask questions, offer suggestions, and voice concerns regarding those policies. The moderators are also available via IM/PM [contact information] if any player does not feel comfortable discussing their concerns in public.

As of the end of this application round (August 15th), AU applications will be closed until this matter can be resolved. This ban on AU apps does not apply to the exceptions listed in the AU policies (malleable protagonists and canon AUs).

I'll probably comment more later, but I wanted to say that we already use Googledocs for our app process.

Drive-by Reply, here. pchooooo and whatnot.

I guess I don't see why applications take so long, then? AUs I can understand - especially with the rules as they are (but more on that later), when you guys can leave comments to each other and shoot back and forth on Googledocs all throughout the week? It seems like the system can and should be faster somehow. If you're using Google Docs to pepper out commentary on applications, shooting back and forth doesn't take long and often doesn't need to have everyone present.

Going off of this. I understand that you're familiar with some canons more than others, but making some people wait almost the entire month for their applications to be processed seems a little unfair, even if you guys are impossibly busy. Especially if you're using googledocs and it only needs three votes to be accepted.

^ This. When I used to mod The Wake, even canons we didn't know only took us a few days at most.
