VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ.

So, I've been thinking! I've gotten very busy IRL, and you might have noticed that I'm not around nearly as much as I was in March. I simply don't have the time and energy to devote to making this game all that it can be, but I don't want to give up on it, and I've always wanted to do something I've never seen done before...

Which is to make applications by player, instead of by character, and turn the game into something of a "dressing room with standards". This would mean that applications would be on a more general writing style / characterization grasp standard, and once accepted, players could bring in whoever they wanted. It would eliminate the need for V#'s, and would erase all character limits. Current players would not need to re-apply under this system, as it's assumed you already meet our standards.

Tags would be reformatted to be done by journal name, and the taken list would be a comment directory, with a comment for each letter, a comment for each series under that letter, and a comment for each character under the series. This would be almost totally player maintained, and people could comment and delete their comments from the list at their own discretion. A separate post would be to request journals to be let into the communities. Monthly themes would still be run as they are, and I would likely take on a mod helper specifically to do the voting and announcing each month (since I'm so terrible at remembering to do it, l-lol).

However! I don't want to do such a dramatic shift to the game without asking you, the players, whether you'd support this. :) Please, please please vote and leave any commentary below! ♥

The apps are already ridiculously easy, and I like apping for each character I intend to play. I think dressing rooms invite people to pick up and drop characters at random and I would be much less interested in forging CR if I'm not sure it'll be there tomorrow. I did my time in dressing rooms and they just don't hold my interest anymore. I like that this has a DR/private game feel without actually being either. It's unique and intimate and I apped it because of how it is, tbh I would probably drop out completely if it were changed. If everyone else likes the idea though you should go through with it, it's just not what I was looking for when I apped this game, personally.

Yeah, you do have a good point, and I don't dislike the way that it is at all... I'm just concerned that because I won't have a lot of time to run this, it might wither and die out. I think this other format would help prevent that.

If everyone disagrees with me, I don't intend to force it, though. I really want this to be a group consensus either way, so we'll see how it goes.

I think it would be more likely to die out in DR format myself, but if you don't have time to give it attention maybe take on another mod to replace me? Idk.

Hmmm yeah it might, LOL. Either way I definitely intend to take on another mod - it seems like we all up and had real life attack us at the same time.
