Template Out of Character (original) (raw)

This may be a rather long post and I greatly apologize for that, however, I'd appreciate it if everyone read this post in its entirety. ♥

After a lot of discussing, debating, "headdesk'ing", flailing, and arguing; Waffle and I (Alex) have decided to Close Template. We are so sorry to those who have been here so long and those who JUST joined. We've appreciated all the support and hopes but we are sadly caught at what we feel is a dead end.

Obviously, we haven't been the best mods on the planet. We were slow in adjusting and it just couldn't cut it in the end. We tried to tweak Template in little ways in an attempt to stabilize plot without making any ENORMOUS and DRASTIC changes. But to be honest, that may have been what we needed. Our worries were if we had made huge changes to move away from a mod-run community (mod-NPCs, city wide plots... etc., etc.), would it still be completely Template? We felt as if there were limits to what we could adjust, even though the community was technically given to us, we never felt that it was ours to mold. This is not intended to be an excuse or a reasoning, simply a fact being stated. Clearly, we are at fault on that end.

We could continue apologizing profusely to everyone (believe me, we could. :\) but there is other news to announce. ♥

Waffle and I are terrible, horrible, stubborn mules! We know where our faults were, Template's faults, and the strong points. So in hopes of correcting the faults we plan to "revise" Template and reopen it as a new community by the end of May. We're calling the new community Contemplation.

Ohoho, we're so clever. :|;;

Contemplation will still have the more unique aspects of Template; the marks, second level, and Template!Universe characters. But the overall plot will be significantly different.

We're hoping the "revision" will give us a fresh start. However, any characters currently on the Taken list (besides the recent drops) can be omitted from the application process. Just ask about it.

Those are the plans. (A bit vague, I know) Thank you for allowing us to moderate Template, even if it was only for a short while. We've appreciated it greatly and cannot apologize enough about our decision for closure. But hold the highest hopes that the revision will live up to standards and beyond. We will see yous around. ♥

Mello this time, which means I'm out for good. It was fun while it lasted; thanks for everything. Keep in touch if you'd like, etc.

so hi. I'm back from hiatus. I was supposed to be off of hiatus on Wednesday, but my brain failed me. Anyway. So yes. I'm back.

Dropping out of Template.

Sorry, everyone.

So, now I'm off hiatus! -Got a new computer luls- 'D

HEY GUYS. Raini here. I need to take a hiatus for the week >: I hate them muchly, but school is leaving me totally burned out from everything. But, I shall be back next Sunday, with less fail than before. 8D This affects all the kids I play:

[Original] Lucrecia Crescent
[Template] Rosa Farrell
[Original] Dana Scully
[Original] Harley Quinn
[Original] Alys Brangwin

See you all in a week! ♥

I've been thinking this over all while I've been on hiatus, and I've decided to go ahead and drop B again. I've just ... hit a wall with what I can do with him here. ;__; So, if you would please, go ahead and friend remove cruciverbal here or hoverclick away.

Thanks! It was fun while it lasted.

I'll be sticking around with Mello [ambitions_are], though! And I'll be off hiatus soon - I managed to get massively sick a couple weeks ago and I'm still more or less recovering from all that. /hacks up lung

PLOT UPDATE

Obnoxious enough for you?

♥

ANYWAY. We want to end the Wonderland plot with a bang. For reference, it ends this Saturday. However, to end it with the bang we want, we're going to need three UNMARKED volunteers.

Please be advised that if you volunteer, your character may be placed in... dangerous situations.

ALSO.

We are looking for one template character volunteer to help us with the Template Universe plot that we will be having next month. Please be advised that the volunteer will be spending quite a bit of time talking with us, the mods, about what will be involved. As a quick recap, the Template Universe plot involves a Template character's version of Template sort of... invading and overwriting our Template city for a period of time, and then receding to create a new district of the city based on that character's memories of their Template.

SO. If you want to volunteer for either, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS POST SPECIFYING WHICH CHARACTER AND WHICH PLOT YOU WISH TO VOLUNTEER FOR and out of the people who respond, we'll do an AIM roll for the selection.

Questions? Comments? Feel free to ask!

Oh yes... a new force is in Template. One so terrible, it has only one and one weakness: big boobs. Yes, that's right, Laharl has descended upon Template!

Btw, Kefka-mun is playing Laharl. :P
