[OOC] Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

[twave]

@Ms Patoots I can assure you that the GMs are not intentionally ignoring you because you're new. Caits in particular has a lot going on IRL and hasn't been able to reply to a few of my things in a while either. It's one of those seasons. Obviously you are still free to withdraw your character none the less.

[Crimson Raven]

@Ms Patoots

Like what @t2wave said, Caits is pretty busy IRL, and also Expolar is kinda a rare sight these days. Zarkoon-sama does most of the daily GMing.

I can speak confidently that no one here is anti-newbie. We love having new people come in, hopefully to stay. And don't let the long running part dissuade you either. RN, we just wrapped up a huge arc and are in a bit of an interlude, so right now is a good time to join. Think of it like joining a new RP.

If you feel ignored or slighted, feel free to bring it up. We don't want people to feel unwelcome or unwanted. We will do our best to find the problem and do something about it.

That said, you are definitely free to leave if you wish. No one will begrudge you.

[Zarkun]

Well thanks for the time, but I'm going to withdraw my application from this. Aside from Zarkun, I've come to feel a bit ignored by the other GMs. No hard feelings, but it does give off a bit of an anti-newcomer atmosphere. I was iffy about coming in blind to such a long running rp, as in my experience the ones who've been there from the start tend to be less inclined to let in newbies, but I was encouraged by some here, and took a shot at it. Oh well. Thanks again for the time.

@Ms Patoots

As has already been stated, it's not that you've been ignored, just a lot going on for the other two GMs, especially our main GM. It happens, and you are certainly free to withdraw as it stands, but I would encourage you to try posting your CS again, tag Caits and Expolar, and give it another few days.

[Expolar]

@Ms Patoots
I want to apologize for making you and a few other people here feel ignored. Caits is usually preoccupied since she is busy with managing things in her life. But I should have made an announcement before that my attention would be away from the RP for some time. So again, I'm sorry for my lack of communication.

After spending some time, Elnea's finished CS seems okay to me. But if you still want to withdraw it's understandable.

[twave]

The trials of managing an RP.

Now things make more sense to me though. Hmm...

[Cello]

@Expolar I'd be a very wealthy man if I had a dollar for everytime I've dropped communications suddenly with a roleplay. It happens.

I mean in my case it happens too much so I should really work on that

[Remram]

So maybe since two out of the three mods are going to be preoccupied, maybe it's a good idea to get some other people to act as mods for now?

@hatakekuro

I think a roleplay of this scale can definitely justify having more than 3 GM's.

At the very least, you could appoint 2 or 3 extra moderators whose main role is to review any new CS' and dissolve any minor disputes.

*guns down Crimson with a Tommy gun with a drum magazine* We'll discuss the idea and viable candidates. I'll be starting work on Monday, so hopefully we can get the discussion done quickly.

@Zarkun

Well I can throw my hat in the ring too.

[Zarkun]

*deliver's Haymaker to hatake's jaw* I have a few ideas on who to suggest. However, there will still be a required acceptance by at least one GM before a sheet is accepted. And Slayers will still need all three of us. Just letting you guys know it won't be a simple process.

[Cello]

@Zarkun So long as whatever you decide ends up easing the burden for you GM's and improving response times for newer applicants, then we can call it a success.

Sounds like a plan.

I do apologise, to everyone, I may be a little rude here.

@Ms Patoots

First of all, I'm sorry. Yes, I was goign to get to things yesterday, but I came back to my grandmas, went to do something, and threw my back out. It was honestly all I could do to sit down and not fall to the ground in a painful heap. This roleplay has been going on for four years, and yes, sometimes its slow. Sometimes I'm not the best GM I could be, but I assure you, I always get around to things. We have had no issues with people coming in, and indeed, Panda (Who I'm hoping to god i'm getting this right, honestly, my memory isn't doing too well at the moment) is the most recent addition, and we have had several people join, stay and become valued members. I accept just about everyone.

So far, you are the only one to have that opinion of "Anti-newcomer atmosphere".

My amazing co-gms pick up the slack when I need it, which yes, has been a fair bit this year, and part of thats because I'm currently doing everything I can not to fail my classes. I have a bit of free time right now, and I was going to spend most of the day getting shit done, including updating jobs for everyone who won't be in the upcoming arc, but that would help tie into the next arc. I was even going to update the active list again, and so many other things. Including, looking over, and approving- because yeah, I've already looked over your CS, as I had it in a tab open to look at as soon as I got my borrowed laptop open, and was just about to approve it when I saw your post.

So yes, it was a little delayed. But I always get around to doing things. And I always, always, give time and slack to everyone, because real life comes first. That has always been my opinion.

You're always welcome if you change your mind.

And again, I'm sorry everyone. I know I'm not the best GM, but I am trying, and I will be picking up my slack. I'm sorry if that has affected any of you, and if you have any problems, please come to me. I will always, always, be there to try and fix things.

Now, I'm going to get to work. Does anything else in the OOC need my attention? I'm going to answer PM's now, reply to a collab, and then I'll be doing stuff for the OP and the CS tab.

@t2wave do you have that link to that google doc you did about the active characters? I cannot find it in my documents, and would greatly appreciate having it, thanks! And there was also something you posted that I have to look over, isn't there? Can you post the permlink to it? A job and a character, correct?

@Caits

I still got the table. Probably needs a bit of tweaking with new people or whatnot but should be mostly accurate I think. docs.google.com/document/d/1WKrd-7pxf…

And the CS and job are here. Sorry if I was being a tad pushy. I didn't realize that both you and Expolar were indisposed. Otherwise I would have approached this differently, I just wasn't sure what was going on.
