Hello Hammelites!
As I'm sure that you've seen, Dryope is stepping down due to RL commitments. You may have also noticed that staff is short-handed, with other staff who have RL matters, such as college and work, or staff who are currently MIA or LOA. We are running at half-capacity in good times and with one person reviewing applications at the most threadbare periods.
It can be difficult to balance staff work with posting obligations. Particularly with the high influx of new applications that we receive each day/week, and all of the list updates that come as a result of them.
As a result, we are implementing a change to our application system for the time being. We find this preferable to having to cut off applications entirely, since we want new characters integrated into the game, want to see Wanted Characters and plots filled, and want new players to join.
1) The waiting period between applications is now a full week instead of five days.
2) Reactivating retired characters is subject to the waiting period.
3 Players with five active characters or more are subject to a ten-day period of waiting between characters.
We also ask that you do not put up multiple applications as WIPs to stagger them. It isn't fair for claims purposes.
Thank you very much for your patience. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sean or another staff member.
