Welcoming Mingle Feedback
Hello, Holly Heights! Wow, this is a busy OOC week in game.
Eski here. Obviously you guys have noticed that reserves are open and that means, applications will be opening soon too! With these things in mind, I'd like to ask for your input.
You guys might remember, this month I experimented with a Welcoming Party log. Thanks to everyone who helped make it a blast. It looks like it was pretty popular so I was wondering:
Do you want this to be a regular thing?
Please vote yes or no in the poll at the end of this post.
If yes, then the next log will go up 8 October around 10PM CST.
Since everyone has plenty of time to think about it, now, I would also like to ask if any of you have any feedback to offer. Could something be done differently? Would you like to see something else implemented into the log? I'd like to keep the discussion here but if you'd rather go anon (I don't know if anon is enabled here?) you can leave it at my contact post and I'll still address/consider it.
I've had some people ask me on plurk, I'll answer this here too. Some people asked me why we couldn't do the welcome log sooner rather than the day after apps close. The reason for this is that applications are accepted in waves here.
While we could post the log the day applications are accepted, the truth is, by the end of the week it won't be "new" anymore and people are likely to forget about it. People accepted later in the week would also have to backdate their arrivals on top of probably not getting as much attention for posting. I worked this out with Kiss and an initial group of people and we agreed it would be more fair to post the log the day after apps close, this way, even the people who had revision requests would be able to post into it at the same time. It isn't a perfect solution because obviously, that means waiting a week for the log for some people, but it's the best we could work out.
And lastly, I have two things I want to say.
First, remember to check out the Welcoming Committee if you're interested in helping. ICly, this means posting in the welcoming log. OOCly, it would just be sharing the link for the log when it goes up and encouraging people to post.
Second, this month was actually pretty busy for me! And it made me realize that I need a second or third person to help me in case similar circumstances ever happen again. This way, things can hopefully run smoothly even if I wasn't around to do it myself. In fact, I will probably need someone to post it for me in November!
Really, all you would have to do is post the log if I was unable to and communicate with people OOCly to let them know when the log would be posted. Unless something serious happened, I would be able to provide you with the text for the log so you wouldn't have to worry about that.
If you're interested, please send me a PM!
