will turn your insides into your outsides
This topic is my attempt to address the egregiously long time it seems to take people to create a CS after they state interest. Yes, I know we all have lives outside of roleplay. I myself have a full-time job (with irregular hours, might I add). I also have a 5-year-old kiddo to take care of, a husband, etc. etc. I have a pretty full schedule most of the time, and no particular guaranteed time off for hobbies. I take the time where I find it. So, it baffles me when I see interests checks still running from 2 and even 3 weeks ago (sometimes far longer) that have people that had stated interest at its start still not having a CS ready and submitted. I'm like... HOW? Typically, I will have my character sheet done by the next day after stating my interest in the RP. If it takes two days to get it in, that's probably because I struggled to find good character art to go along with it. But weeks and weeks on end? WTF?
Big, red flags go up for me when I see players take his long to simply supply their character sheet. If it takes them that long just to fill out a CS, can they even be counted on to contribute posts to the RP in a timely manner once it gets underway?
Sometimes I feel like my own RTs might be a little too hard-nosed about the deadlines for recruitment. But the way I see it, if you can't give me a single character sheet in a week, then you probably can't give regular and decent posts in double time.
Why does it have to be such an odyssey to pull out character sheet submission from members interested in an RP? I'm hella busy, and I manage to find an hour or two to get this done. I don't think that's asking much from people within a weeks' time.
