OH BALLS.

Er, have an official modly PSA!

There's been a slight policy change, re: applications. If you've been following the news community, you've seen that Me and Shiro are now in charge of applications. Please feel free to contact us about anything in that respect. :D

Secondly, with much of your comments in mind, we have decided to avoid doing a mandatory crit post. Despite the overwhelming amount of yeses, we took what you had to say into account and decided against it. However, we STRONGLY encourage you to do so and we also recommend leaving a CONTACT POST for people who cannot get on AIM to talk to you, to be able to contact you.

Finally, after much consideration as well, we have decided to instate a fandom limit, as in, a limit of how many characters you can have in one fandom. That number is now THREE and it will not be changing. Should you have more than that already, you are not expected to drop anyone-- Also, this affects applications that are put in from now (August 22nd) onward. Any before that may have put you over your limit are fine, consider yourselves lucky.


Andddd I believe that's it. \:D/ sorry for posting so much, guys. Haha.

Doesn't affect how many NPCs you can take from a fandom does it?

[nopants993.livejournal.com]

Not really, but if you end up NPCing half your cast, you might get a talking to. XD;

YOU CAUGHT ME! NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

:/ Baaaaaaw. :(

[petmysnakes.livejournal.com]

WHAT???? THIS IS BLASPHEMY.... THIS IS MADNESS....

... jk.

I like the idea of a character limit. Despite the fact that I have over three canons, I might just end up dropping some anyhow. It's makes better for focusing on characterization. Anywho. Thanks for the update!

... you know, that entry title combined with the journal you posted this with is far more hilarious than it really should be. XD

[oceanicbutterfly]

::looks at person with no pants:: Oh. Balls.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY.

[carnality.livejournal.com]

HAY HAY HAY YOU LEAVE ROGER ALONE ;n;


♥ heee.

[pow-hammer.livejournal.com]

ROGER IS CUTE I need to have Colette say hi to him~

♥ ♥ ♥ I think this just goes to prove that my mind lives in the gutter, because I saw the title and started laughing. XD;

[moeteru-burn.livejournal.com]

Sounds good! (Only fandom I'd have to worry about would be KoF, then. *phew*)

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

LOL me and Symphonia fandom. :|b Actually, I only have three anyway and wasn't planning on picking up any more.

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean you're done with Tales in general though, huh?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Of course not!

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't have expected any other answer.

THANK GOD FINALLY.

...I mean, good mod decision making there, guys. ♥

[vivi]

lol ohhhhh Clairebear.

I made a suggestion for that a couple weeks ago, I think. ...Can't remember where though. *3*

[for-power.livejournal.com]

You did?

[vivi]

Yup!

I think you made a post to the OOC comm asking for input on a hypothetical character limit. I said that I disagreed with the idea, but would be all for a fandom limit.

[carnality.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, the poll~

[shuraiya.livejournal.com]

I'm a total jerk, you know that.

I'm glad they put it into effect! (affect?) *3*

[vivi]

Of course. xD

Affect = verb, effect = noun. (There is an affect that's a noun, but it means demeanor.) So, it'd be "put into effect", yes. A+

[shuraiya.livejournal.com]

♥

Ahhh, thank you. I'm glad I got that right. XD

[attorneyatlol]

I hadn't realized it was a problem. o.O But whoo~ Two is my personal character limit, let alone fandom limit. XD

[oceanicbutterfly]

Sounds like a good decision.

I am a little curious about how this applies to some of the more complex fandoms. Giro-mun, for instance, has four Mega Man characters, but they're scattered across the classic, ZX, and Battle Network/NT Warrior series (the latter being completely unconnected to the other two). So either she's one over the limit and grandfathered in, or she can pick up one more ZX character, two more BN characters, and two more classic characters. Or maybe she can pick up two more BN or Star Force characters and she's at the limit for the classic/X/Zero/ZX/maybe-Legends verse.

[carnality.livejournal.com]

I think, because they are different fandoms, they've each got separate limits but the mods would... probably advise her not to pick up any more from any without considering the ones she has. that's a hella lot of megaman characters and... I mean, don't you want someone else to play in the fandom with you? lol.

[pow-hammer.livejournal.com]

I dunno how the Mega Man fandom works, but it could possibly be like the Final Fantasy/Tales of/Shining Force series where each game is basically a completely separate canon and the only thing they have in common is the name?

Like, you could play characters from Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 9 and Final Fantasy 12, but because they're all different games set in different universes it wouldn't be the same as playing a ton of Bleach characters or something.

[carnality.livejournal.com]

Yeah, which would be fine, because they are separate canons-- Though again, if you had 3 from each game, you may still get a talking to XD;

[pow-hammer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's a little extreme. XD

[oceanicbutterfly]

Like I said, it's complicated.

Basically, you have the original continuity, which is the classic series (Bass's canon), X series (X and Zero's canon), Zero series (X and Zero will end up here someday if DDD goes on for hundreds of years), and ZX series (Giro and Grey's canon). They're separated by pretty wide gaps (they're all in different centuries), and there are storyline connections of roughly increasing strength--the X series has only a vague relation to the classic series, while the ZX games' plots are basically one big reference to the Zero series. There's also Mega Man Legends, which is purportedly in the waaaay distant future of this timeline and basically has no connection to it whatsoever. All of these (I think) have manga associated with them, none of which have come into play here at DDD besides being mined for icons. There was also an American-made cartoon based loosely on the classic series, which is Protoman's canon (there was a Protoman in the actual classic series, but about the only thing they have in common is their appearance and being Mega Man's "brother").

Then there's the MegaMan Battle Network series, which, again, has the Mega Man Star Force series in its distant future. This universe has no connection to the first one, though a huge number of characters are based on classic-series or sometimes X-series characters. MMBN has a manga and anime associated with it, which are known as "MegaMan NT Warrior" in English. This is Lan and MegaMan.exe's canon.

Confused yet?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

... very. @_@ But it basically boils down to them being separate canons, right?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Yes! But some of them are separate like Final Fantasy games, some of them are separate like the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book and the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, and some of them are separate like Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
