App Week/Slot Week Alternations

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

Hear me, hear ye~!!
(Sparklies. Check it.)

We've been getting some questions about how the app week/slot week alternation will work as we get closer to Big Events, Site Rollout, and Temporary App Suspension Of Dewm.

So, to clarify and for the record:

✗This week, April 27^th → May 4^th, is an app week.
&
✗Next week, May 5^th → May 12^th, is also an app week.

Therefore, the slot thread will be closed until the 13^th. (I think I got all those dates right...) Please post your apps in the regular applications threads--

→ canon here
→ OCs here

--until the Big Events start going down.

Thereafter, the regular apps will be closed for three weeks while everyone plots themselves to pieces, and we get the new info site settled.

So! In short and to repeat:
This week and next week are REGULAR APPLICATION WEEKS. So submit--those apps, I mean.

Questions? Comments? Sandwiches? Party over here?
Annoying HTMl is go~!

Nice job on the sparkles, bro.

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

Thankee--!

I like how the spraklies aren't moving. All the glamour and none of the dizziness. ♥

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

I don't know why they do that... They dance for a while and then quit. Maybe it's for the best.

[ever-evey.livejournal.com]

Well, after they stop dancing, their amazing typo-inducing powers show up. Spraklies indeed.

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

It's a new word. For sparklies that don't move. Spraklies.

[mother-rem.livejournal.com]

...The blinking text got my attention faster than the sparklies. >:

But thanks for the reminder!

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...noted... Blinking text more noticeable than sparklies. Abuse blink tag more than sparkles.

You're welcome!

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

Except for people using IE, where blink tag doesn't... blink. >:

*still uses IE as default, although uses Firefox for LJ*

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

Oh snap, double fault for me.
Robot has malfunctioned. Beep beep.

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

OHNOES.

CAN IT BE REBOOTED?

*reboots* >:

LOOKS LIKE ROBOTS CAN WRAP THEIR TOOLS TOO.

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

Beep beep. Do I have a soul?

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

DEPENDS... on your definition. >:

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

...careful! I might break again D:

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

Y-You're a unique and special snowflake like the rest of us? D:

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

Ah~♥ That makes me feel better. Warms the cockles of my motherboard.

[thieving-idiot.livejournal.com]

NICE SPARKLES. :D

That aside, I have a question. It's probably a stupid one, but hey. MAY AS WELL ASK.

Miria here was just accepted in the app slot thread, but I have another app I want to get in before the apps close...should I wait until next week, or can I put the app in now?

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

No, it's not stupid at all--we're shuffling things up for the next week or two, it's all quite confusing... ... EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL! DO NOT PANIC!

Okay, in all seriousness:
Please wait until next week to post it, if you would. You'll be able to post it in the regular application threads, and we'll get to it as soon as we see it.

[thieving-idiot.livejournal.com]

TOO LATE. ALREADY PANICKING. WHERE'S THE BOMB SHELTER.

Sweeeet. Will do. ♥

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

[thieving-idiot.livejournal.com]

DUCK AND COVER, MR. TURTLE!

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

*wears a turtle shell around for next week* D:

[thieving-idiot.livejournal.com]

...thank you for that mental image. No srsly. alk;jfsd

[laszlo-jamf.livejournal.com]

Oh man, we had one of those "S" signs on my college dorm...
But we just kept junk and old mattresses and stuff down there.

Good thing we never saw THE FLASH!

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

Haha, oh wow! I've never seen any shelter signs like it before; that's so cool!

WELL NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOU SEE IT. Make like Bert the turtle. D:

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

It was sort of creepy when I first saw it, really. Sort of like the echo of another era...like that film there.

Yeah, we'll, uh, hide under the mattresses... >>;;

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

Okay, so... does that effectively mean that there's no slot week for next week? We just turn it into the regular app page once it hits midnight on Sunday? \o/

*has a low IQ; apologizes*

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

Yes, there's no slot for next week. Just post your app to the regular app page when it hits midnight on Sunday.

--I think it may say on the main post that the thread closes, but that's mostly so we can separate apps submitted the one week versus the next--for our tables and organization. Disregard that. Double open app week, basically.

Uhh... *feeds fish?* It's brain food.

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

DULY NOTED~! ♥

...is it tilapia? *hopes*

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

I believe it is! (http://www.mccormick.com/assets/225_11713_grilltilpia.jpg)

Om nom nom!

[lefeufollet.livejournal.com]

♥~!

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

so after the 13th apps are to be posted in the slot thread? Or just not at all?

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

I believe the general modly consensus is that after the 13^th, you'll be able to post in the slot thread--one app per player during the course of the app suspension (until June 1^st, that is). We won't be stamping apps until June 1^st, but one per player can be posted there.

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

Okie-doke. <3 I dunno if I'll actually apply for a character during that point, but I wanted to check just to make sure. Thanks!

[robot-mod.livejournal.com]

Sure thing. You're welcome!
