How many hours went into this? 😉 Great description. Do you rp having children? Then I would add a little festivity, the Okuizome, A “First Meal” Ceremony for a Baby on Their 100th Day of Life.

Are you doing this roleplay then in shielded areas? Or how do you prevent minors to experience such themes? Anything what goes past ‘romantic’ is forbittten anyway on the server and what do you understand under ‘particularly violent’ what a young person does not encounter anyway in RL every day if he is interested in the news? I would propose to better avoid it here. Wouldn’t it be easier then to flag them somehow, so that you can see this ingame? Or let the age be shown in the application only if a player is under 16 or 18. An option would be, to make putting your name in optional but ask the minors to provide it.

Because prejudice, be it conscious or not often determines how you see another person. It doesn’t have to be necessarily negative, but you look differently at somebody who is your age, younger or a fair amount older than you. You act differently. Maybe I don’t just want to stand out of the crowd but treated like anybody else. I think, the age of a player should not determine how I interact with him. Ageism

Well, in my case maturity should not be the problem, but I’m always worried to be put in a box.

Dear staff, I thought it might be helpful to give you a feed-back to the application form as long as I still remember where I struggled. Maybe I’m just a bit dump and others do better, but I’m sure, that there are other newbies as green as I am. I do have read a lot on the forum beforehand, all the stuff for newbies in the hub etc, I do have applied for other servers, but nevertheless poor Demon_Lilly had a hard time with me. ( Lilly 🥰 ) General: Age: Though the admins have to ask for the age - could that not be hidden to the public? Of course, everybody can post a fake age, but I have a bad feeling doing so. Character: Gender: It would be nice, if ‘divers’ would be an extra option. Just to do justice to this minority. Physical description etc Please mention, that there is a character limit . Of course, summarise tells you, that you should, well summarise, but on the other hand you are told to add something about ‘attire, eyes and hair colour, body-build, height, weight, and so on’. You could write a lot about your looks - I did, just to discover, that it was in vain… Mention, that this and the next paragraphs are for your persona card and what that is. ( The search function did’t find a lot, when I used it.) The scenario: Please make it clear, that you should write it as if you were in-game! No longer dialogs, (‘and at least one piece of dialogue surrounded by quotes’ is misleading), where this well-dressed man also answers. But that those answers have to come from you only. I though in the beginning, that I should write just a little piece of prose. Character skin: Please mention, that skins where noise is used for colouring are not allowed. That’s all 🙂 Thanks! ~Tirrin~ PS: A spellcheck on the forum would be very nice…not to mention in-game 😉

Dear LotClers, don’t you think this is enough now? It makes me really sad, to see a community I am about to join to get so upset, that the members spend hours and hours to write posts after posts.. Of course, there is a problem. An admin whom most don’t see fit to carry on with her work, an admin who is too detached from the community (as the community claims) to solve the problem. There may be others reason in addition. You posted a ton of arguments which proof, that you are right to do so, to ask that this admin should be removed. On the other side, if you look at the situation from ‚far away‘, from the outside, it looks nevertheless also like bashing one person endlessly, like trying to mob her away. What would you do in Muffins case? Step down and admit to yourself, that you have lost a battle ? That you failed? I can imagine, that she might fall in a very deep hole if forced to do so. Do you really want this? Remember, she admitted more than one time, that she did wrong, even if she didn’t address all cases and did not apologise to everyone personally. There are voices, which testified, that she has been helpful. Try to think about a time, where she might have helped you and you forgot about it, because people tend to better remember things which upset them, than nice encounters - because they are the duty of a staffmember. I think most of you didn’t deny that she is very dedicated towards the server and that she spent a lot of her time, helping players . That she did wrong in many cases does not take this away. You on the other side can’t rightfully bear to have her interacting with players still, somehow, or coming back sooner or later. I think, it would be very important to find a solution, where both sides don’t loose their face. I don’t know, how the team is organised, I just write down some ideas which might help to bring this to an end. - If Muffins is so determined to help the server, maybe she could work in an area, where she has not much interaction with players or other staff? - Maybe she still can hold the title of an admin, but is suspended for some time, until she has recovered from the turmoil and has somehow proven, that she has changed and can control herself better? And when she comes back, she gets a second chance, but has to step down if she falls back in her old habits? (But, who will decide this?) - Why not in general, introduce that admins/mods are only allowed to serve for a certain time? Maybe this time could be prolonged through an acclamation/poll by the playerbasis and the rest of the staff ? So maybe the responsibility towards the players is strengthened? - Why not introduce somebody who speaks for the playerbase and is chosen by it, who has a say in the team as well, can cast a veto maybe? There are surely a lot more ideas to get around this problem, you might find them , if you look for them. Just try to build a bridge! I hope, I could help you all in some way, I have not slept over it, so if some thoughts seem to you fairly half-baked, forgive me. ~Tirrin~
