I'm sorry, buuut...
« on: September 02, 2010, 06:23:32 PM »
The approval times are ridiculous. Nisorin does well, but nobody else really approves. I've had Jakob Yesterwind waiting for several days now, and a couple other things as well. I'm sure I'm not alone in this problems.

Can we please fix this?

I agree. We're seriously in need of a system for this stuff, one that lets people actually get their stuff. Hik's the only one who's even seen my Lorcar Castes and stuff, and I dont know about the other stuff. >_<

So GLAD, to know we're lazy. *glares in sarcasm*
The only admins left are Orph, Gaser, Nisorin, and I. My free time got seriously cut in half, so for once not even I have all the time in the world. Orph is off in Dakota. Gaser has school. And Nisorin is the only one with free time.

Why can't we just have staff for requests only?
There is only so much pain that can be taken before the bonds and chains of sanity are forsaken
It is in these lonesome times that we reach towards the light sublime
And from that light we pull the resolution of our time
To begin the end and start anew

Can't watch the other staff. If someone approved in bias? The other main staff would have to bother monitoring all that.

Hiro's obviously Bias. Check Orga's empire request. "Not a rip," my ass.

That's when you hold a debate/topic and see who has the potential for being a non-biased approving-staff.

Right now, we don't have many members. And how is your time cut in half Hikaru? You can approve when waiting for replies.

Hik. At WHAT point in any mythos does that thing make a empire? Im not biased just for saying I dont think its a rip. Its just a name.

The name is unique to the character of C'thulu.

Still. She's acting like he's basing the entire empire off it. She's overreacting a bit. I get the character's name part, but its much simpler to just ask him to change the name than call it a rip off.

If you read her posts, she was only really talking about the character in question and its name, also to assure that the character itself was not the character from the mythos itself.

Yeah, staff does need to approve more. I tried to make it a point (unless I was having an AWFUL day) to at least check the forums for new requests. Doesn't mean I'd always post in the requests then, but yeah. Part of why I bailed out from staff is because I don't have time to approve things and such, or any administrative duty for that matter.

Hikaru, what's taking up all your free time that you can't even read through relatively small bits of text and say whether it's legal enough to be approved?
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

Well, since Hikaru seems to be incompetent to approve of posts, Kaleb has already taken himself off of staff, and Orph doesn't come on (whether he's in North Dakota or not) unless someone says something to him, then I say the entire staff needs to be reformed.

Except for Nisorin, though he doesn't get much Internet time.

We need an entirely new staff. That's why I mentioned holding a debate topic. We did it on CLTCG, I remember it.
