Activity Check Results
The results for the Activity Check are in. Please note that the following characters were either inactive, didn't post to the activity check, or failed to speak to a moderator about their activity. Also added were characters who have dropped, for your convenience.
Copy-paste the following here:
A number of you passed the activity check, but barely. (You know who you are.) Try to pick things up, as it's no fun to character-squat.
If there are any mistakes here, please let us know! Additionally, if your character was removed and you're still active, feel free to appeal to one of us about keeping your character. However, please remember next time to stay active and post to the Activity Check. Thank you!
And as always:
HMD
How's My Driving?
This is a crit post for both the community and game and for your characters. If you have something you'd like to see us improve upon with the game, PLEASE TELL US HERE! Anon commenting is on, but if anything gets really nasty there will be warnings and thread-freezing. This isn't required but everyone is encouraged to take advantage of the advice of your fellow players!
Just some pointers: no taking cheap shots, no dragging personal issues into things and for the love of all that is wise and great, please double check your replies and comments before posting them. Sometimes a change in phrasing can make all the difference between a helpful tone and a condescending one.
ALSO ALSO: We'd like to clarify that HMD means HMD- which means it's okay to have both good and bad crit. Some people have expressed concerns about posting good/bad crit when a character already has bad/good crit posted. We'd like to encourage you guys to do it anyway! You can drive well or badly, and even good drivers make mistakes. So give it a try \o

Re: Luceti / Luceti Mods
(Anonymous) 2011-02-23 10:06 am (UTC)(link)One thing I feel the need to point out is that this draft is considerably larger than the last ones. In the past, not as many people were chosen for these things.
Though actually now that I think of it, perhaps that's the better solution we can afford for a balance. A larger draft nets newer characters sooner, after all, which I think would help. Patience really is a virtue, but I don't think I'd want to wait over two months (ie. more than one draft) for my turn on the roller coaster. If the mods continue to draft a larger number of characters like they have on this one, however, I think that goes a long way in making both sides happy. The newer characters won't have to wait as long, and there will be more variety even if older muns sign up their characters again right away.
And of course, stuff for the villagers would be awesome! I think these two things combined would bring about a very win-win situation.
Re: Luceti / Luceti Mods
Yeah, that's true. It's a much bigger draft this time around, and because of that, the queue's cleared faster, so it doesn't take as long until people who recently signed up get to go. And as you said, if that keeps up, it'd go a long way toward making both sides of the problem happy - or at the very least, it should speed things up a lot. That's no doubt a good thing.
...Though it looks like the mods already found a way to deal with the issue to some extent! Allowing more draftees in addition to the already large list (comparing the recruitment post to the new list, that's a whole page of extra characters who have the choice to go if they want - that's four pages of draftees now!) definitely strikes me as a good decision. The handicap might leave some characters unable to do much on their first day out there, but considering we're allowed to choose what that handicap is, I'd say it's a fair compromise for having such a large number of additional people go if they so wish.
And I agree on that! A large number of people being chosen for the drafts plus things for the villagers to do would both help resolve the issue of people having to wait awfully long and the one regarding villagers having very little to do while the others are out there fighting. It won't make it a total win-win situation just yet, but it'd surely improve the situation a lot, at least. ♪
