Applicaton Updates! (Poll Included!)

[rekindlemods]

Greetings, Rekindle! Lately we've been considering the app cycle, and how to improve it, considering the size of the game and what might work well for hopeful players.


Currently we're looking at two different options:
1. Reservations are open all month, applications open once a month.
2. Applications open all month, and are processed at set intervals (such as two Sundays a week, or every Sunday) Reservations would also be open all month, and last for a set interval.

And this is where you come in, players! We'd like to hear your thoughts and opinions, and have a poll set up for you:

Poll #14888 Application Revisions

This poll is closed.
Open to: Access List, detailed results viewable to: Access List, participants: 23

What do you want to see changed in Applications and Reserves?

Reserves open all month, Applications open one week
12 (52.2%)

Applications open all month, reserves for a set time
10 (43.5%)

Change nothing
1 (4.3%)

Finally as people may have noticed, lately we've been having a hard time with processing apps at a good speed. Truthfully, we're a little short handed when it comes to an app team at the moment, and would like to ask for some extra help! We're looking to bring in three more people for apps; volunteers would be asked to help approve or decline apps each cycle. Having Skype or a similar chat client would be helpful, so we could set up a chat to help with processing apps.

To volunteer, a PM to the mod account or contacting through one of the mod's plurks would work best! We'd also like to see the form below filled out:

<b>Name:</b> <b>Character(s) Played:</b> <b>Do you use Skype and/or AIM?:</b> <b>What sorts of canons are you most familiar with?:</b> Video games? Live action shows? Books? Anime and manga? Feel free to list specific canons, too, if you would like to! <b>Are you willing to educate yourself on canons you aren't familiar with on a regular basis while processing applications?:</b> Usually this will just mean a through reading of the linked history for a character, though sometimes more research may be necessary when there isn't a good resource (like a complete wiki) available. <b>When are you available to process applications?:</b> Being available at least once a week is ideal. <b>Do you have experience judging applications?:</b> Not required, but useful! <b>Anything else you'd like us to know?:</b>

Hopefully this will help make the applications go more smoothly!

Thanks again for your patience, everyone.
