Mod Post Time, Go!

Hi guys. It's time for a friendly reminder.

If your character is not on the Taken List GET THEM THERE. If your character is not on the Add/Remove List GET THEM THERE.

I go through and give people friendly (and they are wholly friendly, not just mostly friendly) reminders to put their characters on the Taken List, but ultimately, it is your responsibility as a player to add your character to both lists.

The Taken List is important not just for contact reasons, but because if you aren't on there, someone may app your character. Then things get complicated, people feel dense, we mods feel like meanieheads, and it's generally just not an ideal situation all around.

The Add/Remove list is important because you want all your poly buddies to know you exist, to see your posts, to add to your enjoyment. That's a whole lot harder if they don't know to add you. It's all well and good to put up an "add me!" post in tldr, and we highly recommend that you do so, but as we all know, with poly's post volume, that post may be missed and your shiny new character won't get added.

Posting there with your remove is just as important to help us know to remove characters from the Taken List (you can always be a darling and delete your taken list post yourself.)

Additionally, we have this lovely resource here - the master list spreadsheet. I keep that updated, but I update based on the emails I receive when additions are made to the taken list, and the emails I receive when you post your removes on the add/drop list. I do not hunt down your information based solely on "friend add ljnamegoeshere". I ain't got that much OCD, try though I might.

If you see anything in any of our resources that isn't correct, please let us know. We want to keep everything as clear as possible. It's a bigass game, as you might have noticed, so we do have a lot on our hands.

Haku was a wonderful help recently and went through all the lists making comparisons and trying to get everything that may have fallen through the cracks. I have her list in my possession and will be updating the spreadsheet based on her OMG I bow to her OCD invaluable assistance.

One last thing, and it is important. If you haven't already had a look over here at the post and information for the BETA VERSION OF OUR INFOSITE, please do. If you have any questions or suggestions or little things that you were never able to find around here, please let me know, so I can get it incorporated into the next iteration of the site. The site will be a dynamic document after it goes live in May, but the more comprehensive we can have it before then, the better, of course.

Everyone accounted for, ma'am~!

Excellent!

Add/Remove List says please and thank you, bby~

Mm. I'll even light candles first.

[identity profile] bellsandleather.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Me? Actually need this reminder? Never.

*guilty sneak* Thank you. ._.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Not to worry. Lots of people do it. I usually poke people when I can, but it's been a busy couple of weeks.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You know I ♥ you back.

[identity profile] seethruskinner.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I get all tingly when you say that.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd get all tingly if I read you a grocery list.

[identity profile] seethruskinner.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Knowing your groceries? Absolutely.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, that was you fondling my kiwis the other day, hm?

[identity profile] housewares-ash.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
And appreciating your fine rump roast.

w00t~ ♥

I always forget how incredibly huge the Bleach cast is until I look at the spreadsheet.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Massive. I was a bit gobsmacked the first time I saw it laid out that way. 33 characters. Criminey, that manga must have a cast of thousands.

[identity profile] killing-sweep.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I thiiiiink back when I was doing Bleach-only games, the count was just short of two-hundred for named characters, including filler ones and omake-only characters? Why we needed to know the name of the girl who runs the store where Renji buys his glasses I don't even know, but that's just how Kubo rolls.

And then add another five or so for unnamed characters who had vaguely enough personality to write with and then there were some games where people played the swords, too. |D

But I'm pretty sure this is the biggest Bleach cast I've ever seen in a multi.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy crap I can't imagine trying to come up with that many characters in a single universe as a single author. (Bleach does have just a single creator?)

I'm impressed that there are so many characters and so many people interested in playing them. And even more so that there are so many represented here in poly. ♥

[identity profile] dresden4hire.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I paid special attention to this post because something in it flashed me.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent. My evil plan worked.

[identity profile] dresden4hire.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed it did, kudos to you.

[identity profile] mollypocket.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You're a lean, mean, modding machine....of love. ♥

[identity profile] mollypocket.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Heil to the queeeeeeen?

[identity profile] becomedemons.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks good!

Holy god, is Google not amazing? It does EVERYTHING.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I am a total google h0r. I know it's not everyone's cuppa, but I love being able to collaborate so easily and have this information available and updatable regardless of where I am or which computer I'm working from.

[identity profile] becomedemons.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's mandatory now at the office to have a gmail contact, because it bypasses so many issues with different operating systems/software compatibility. GODSEND, I TELL YOU. [/organizational geekery]

My last contract was with a company that actually blocked access to google docs, which was insanely frustrating, since I used google docs for easily accessible billing information for my clients. They unblocked it for me, but I found myself wondering wtf they were thinking.

[identity profile] mother-rem.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks like all my people are accounted for. ♥

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent! Thanks for checking. ♥

[identity profile] floating-bamboo.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
This is awesome~

Holy shit, huge Bleach Cast is huge.

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Just doing my bit to manage the chaos in a positive manner in our ongoing battle against entropy.

Or, in English, "just doin' our job, ma'am/sir".

It's like a small town's worth of people in RP terms. We need "Bleach Village" tours for an orange or something.

Ahh, thank you for the reminder! I'm always forgetting to properly do things like this. XD;; Raetsel got taken off of the taken list, and she's already on the remove list as well.

Spreadsheet is a bit behind, though. Some of this stuff might be part of the updates you mentioned you're going to do, but...

-Raetsel's still on the spreadsheet, so she needs to be removed~ (Princess Tutu character, for reference. ...Although that's probably a given with me.)

-Also, FYI, I'm not using HaleySings@yahoo.com anymore--it became too hard to keep up with, so it's a bit of a hellhole. I'm exclusively BrightBlueInk@hotmail.com now--anything to the yahoo account? I won't get.
Technically, I also use HaleySings@gmail.com, which forwards to my hotmail account, but that's getting complicated.

I'll edit the Taken list to reflect my new e-mail, now that I'm thinking of it~

I feel so bad for you OCD people. I'm so unorganized and cause a mess every time something needs to be updated. >>;;

[identity profile] dreadnot.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for letting me know. I updated those on the spreadsheet.

^_^ No, thank you!

All checked~ And in order. ♥

I'll add this baby to the Taken List as soon as she has her own section. ♥ The others are where they belong.

Website is looking niiice. ♥

Ah. Everything is fine with my characters, except on the spreadsheet my contact info is referring to my old stuff in some of them.
