Good mods.

Best game.

Good comment, most truthful.

I'm not going to bother going anonymous since I am sure you will know it's me anyhow.

So, you guys do a good job, and I'm really pleased with the events we've had. They've been original and fun and I'm so glad I play here. The only complaint--and it's not even a real complaint, just something I've noticed--I can think of is that you can be somewhat slow on applications and answering questions on like, the FAQ page or what have you.

I've noticed you've gotten better at it, though, and I know mods have lives too, but it's just something to keep in mind.

Also, considering the game is getting bigger, I think it might be wise once we hit a certain number of players to start doing app rounds so you guys don't have to worry about always checking them every weekend, maybe?

This is just a couple of things I've noticed and some suggestions, though! Otherwise, you guys have been really helpful and awesome and I'm really glad to be here.

There is a lot I love about this game. All of you are very approachable and helpful, and the atmosphere is super laid back and fun. Mel is insanely good at horror plots, and I think there's a very good balance between events and downtime. I also love that the tower keeps changing. For such a relatively limited setting, it has never gotten stagnant!

There are a few things I wanted to bring to your attention, though. The first is app times. It does seem to take you guys a pretty long time to get to apps compared to other games I've been in that don't have app cycles. It has at times gotten to the point where I've seen new players complain on plurk, or wonder what's going on, or worry unnecessarily. It also seems to have sort of become a joke with people, which is probably not something you want!

The second is that sometimes, you guys don't really seem to be on the same page. At one point, I asked a mod if the Handmaid's immortality would be effected by the Tower, and she said yes. Later, a mun who played a god tier character said that Mel had told them the opposite: Immortality isn't effected by the Tower unless a plot explicitly says so. I've had this happen to me with other things, too. This is a smaller gripe, but something I thought was worth bringing up!

Re: the immortality, it tends to depend on the specific kind. To use Homestuck, The Handmaid's immortality means she basically can't die unless Lord English allows it, which doesn't work well for this setting. The God Tier characters, however, get to retain their God Tier death abilities because there is still a way for them to die within the Tower (just or heroic deaths).

The app stuff we are working to address, and generally making things more clear we can work on, too. o7

Thanks for the quick response and clarification! <3

I'm going to make one quick suggestion!

I think at this point the game could really benefit from a player's plot post that the mods watch and keep organized. The Spidermom plot got interrupted by a game plot right in the middle of it so that it never got finished, and I think a post like that would prevent accidental cross overs (from mods and players alike) from happening!

I'm also gonna +1 the two posts above me. I love it here, I'm totally relaxed and having lots of fun and you guys are super awesome and approachable, but the app processing speed has become a bit of a running gag.

We have a player plot post right here, or did you mean something else?

...nope that's what I meant!

well i feel silly, no idea how i missed that.

quick, here's a cute puppy gif to distract you while i make my exit

I know I haven't done much of anything with him outside of his cast, yet, but I do plan on fixing that soon. Any advice in the meantime would be very welcome, though!
