Hey again, bbs! ♥
Okay, so following the last announcement, the staff has made a few changes to follow the new application template. They're nothing as drastic as the change in application format, so don't worry!
First, the "Accepted Characters" board is gone. But don't worry! Your applications are safe and sound. Instead, they're settled nicely in the "Character Applications" board. It now has three subboards:
•Pending applications, where all of the applications that have not been updated were moved. After you have updated your application, or after you decide to not update, contact one of the admins, and she will move your application to the appropriate place. ALL NEW APPLICATIONS will also be posted here until they are reviewed by an admin and moved to the accepted board.
•Accepted applications, where all of the applications that have either been updated to the new template or have declined to change the format are moved. All new applications will be moved here upon their acceptance from an admin, as well.
•Optional History, where you have the opportunity of really fleshing out your character's history and background. The new application does not have a section in which to do this, so this might help some people in their character development, or make the character more desirable to other players. But remember it's completely optional! So that's nice!
Second, the format of the subject of your application has changed. Instead of worrying about what member group your character will be in, the subject will just be the character's name in the following format:
SURNAME, first middle
The surname should be in all caps, and the first and middle in all lowercase. We aren't going to make a middle name mandatory, of course, because some people just don't have them! But if your character does come with that third name, add it in, please! But because the subject doesn't have a member group built right in, it's even more important that you post in the claims and especially the MASTER CHARACTER LIST. We can't accept you without knowing what kind of fellow your character is!
And that's about it! Thanks for your cooperation, bbs!
