Game Calendar + Apps
Okay guys, two things!
First, it's just about time to share with you the Game Calendar! It is a Google calendar, but everyone can access it and interact with it at a read-only level. It very interactive otherwise - clicking the individual events and going to "more details>>" will bring you to links! And other info! As you can see, it doesn't have everything back to the beginning of the game (there's nothing before June, and it's rather sparse in June and July), but it does function rather well in terms of helping players get up to speed with the game if they've gone on hiatus or missed a post.
Please put it in your bookmarks! It is not a particularly nice and simple URL, so you should save it now if you plan to use it as a resource. If you lose the link, you can come ask one of us and we should have it handy. If something has been missed, just drop me (Adri) a line on AIM (misstakin22) and I'll add it right away.
The second thing, and much more important, is that we're revamping our apps. We have a couple things that we definitely want to do, but we want your input! Please be aware that we can't take all suggestions, but we know you guys quite often have some good ideas and we want to hear them.
Here's what we'd like to do:
That's it! We'll be announcing the official changes sometime this week, after everyone's had a say, and they'll most likely be put in place for apps that will be processed on October 3rd. That means that for this Sunday, we'll still be accepting the old apps, but after that we'll be wanting to see the adjusted apps only.
Thanks guys!

Here's what we'd like to do:
* Tighten up on grammar and formatting. These things are no-brainers guys. Make sure your paragraphs are spaced properly so that we're not faced with a wall of text, and run your apps through a spelling and grammar check before you submit them. This is more just a heads up if anything.
* Change the "What your character can offer" section to a simple "Powers and Abilities" section. We know it's a fairly arbitrary section, and it's more important for us just to know what your character can do and how the chip will affect that.
* Add a section for links to previous threads and logs if the character has been played before (in another game, a dressing room, or dear_mun). We received a suggestion for this a while back and we quite like it. This section would not, however, be a replacement for samples, and we wouldn't want to see anyone shirking any effort on their samples just because they can provide a link where they are confident in their characterization.
That's it! We'll be announcing the official changes sometime this week, after everyone's had a say, and they'll most likely be put in place for apps that will be processed on October 3rd.
