✗PROBLEMS





P R O B L E M S

If you have a problem and you can't reach one of the mods, please comment here. Feel free to comment if you have a problem with an action that a mod has taken. Mods may be in a game to keep the players in line and make sure they follow the rules, but players should feel comfortable about pointing out if a mod has made a mistake. We keep you in line and you keep us in line, right?

The comments WILL be screened & will be deleted once the problem is dealt with. Anonymous comments are allowed, but we'll need to unscreen them for you to see our reply.

Less of a problem more of a question. The google list that has all the taken characters is really really outdated, would it be possible to make it an open list so other people could help you all keep it updated?

Thank you so much for asking, and we are terribly sorry about the delay! Some debate about this topic went on before we reached a decision, and we wanted to be sure that whatever decision was made would be to better the community as a whole.

While we appreciate the idea of a player-maintained spreadsheet, there are a few too many factors working against that possibility at this time. As it stands, people frequently forget to add or remove themselves to and from the Taken Characters list, and we fear that having to add themselves to the spreadsheet would just be one more step to tentatively miss and thereby offer up further confusion. In that same vein, since the spreadsheet would be player-maintained, avenues for abuse or just common mistakes are opened up, in that players might believe a character who has not been dropped actually has been dropped and delete them off the list in that confusion. Abuse is carried out much the same way, though one would have to worry about more than just deletions.

POLYchromatic has had something of this caliber in the past when it employed the use of a Wiki, but that plan unfortunately fell through due to a lack of time for upkeep and the notion that the Taken Characters list virtually supplies the same resource.

Again, thank you so much for your input! We will be keeping this idea in mind for the future, in case something like this does become an option.

Best,

POLYchromatic Mods
