Hello,

I had intended to leave an anonymous comment regarding your application template (namely, that I believe the [br/] tags should be removed because that format is difficult to write around and they will end up being removed regardless, and it is especially needless considering that the apps are emailed in) -- however, when I went to comment, despite what the post says above, this happened. So now I have to dig up a less used account in order to point out something other than what I originally came here to say. Can you please take care of this and have the commenting abilities match what is advertised above? I was mildly annoyed before, but now I am feeling rather uncomfortable with the game altogether.

Hi! This is the smallest thing, but would you mind relocating the copy/paste text box with the reserves code to the top of the reserves page? I'm sure people would appreciate not having to scroll (particularly when there are a lot of reserves) to get to it.

Thank you! c:

Just a thought but...will you have any list up for where characters work? It'd be easier than having to look through everyone's journals to see who your co-workers are.

I was looking around, and I've checked all your posts on the matter, including the FAQ, but I came up with nothing. So I'm wondering, do you have any plans on making a calendar that shows what dates events, AC, and everything else that might be dated happens? As someone who likes to keep a track of things, that would be a very good thing to have.

Will you be opening mod applications? I've seen you talk about how the turnout was bigger than expected, so maybe another helper mod or two would help? I for one would love to help out, and if there was one person dedicated to keeping all the lists updated, that would leave the rest of you guys free to focus on the plot and take a break.

On the applications page, I would love to see when applications close in a more clear format.
"11:59pm EST" instead of "midnight" would be so helpful - I know this is a super silly request, like get ahold of your times/timezones, girl.
But it would rEST MY NEUROTIC APPER MIND if it was say, "July 28th at 11:59pm EST" instead of "July 28th at midnight".
Because I start doubting that it's the 28th and think oh shit maybe it's the 27th or maybe it's the 29th JESUS I'M GONNA' MISS IT.
... I'm so sorry, but please and thank you, I'm embarrassed for myself even on anon.

Hey, mods. Would there be any chance to reconsider establishing some kind of real network? The note system is neat and I can see the potential, but it hasn't been put to use ( plus I don't even know if the characters are ICly aware of it). I've spoken with a few others, and apparently there are also those who love the idea of the game, but are turned off from actually apping in because of how heavily log-based it is. The game has been open for almost a month, now, but honestly still feels incredibly slow. I feel things would really pick up if a network were brought in (maybe it could be something The Witch decided to do, to keep better track of everyone?), not to mention put more life into the game during the downtime between plot things such as the intro mingles, events, and the various tiered challenges.

Just throwing a suggestion out here. I think it'd be a good idea to put timestamps from the emails for apps. I can't tell if the app page has been updated or not, so timestamps would help.

I know inbox threads don't count towards activity, but what about threads that eventually leads into actionspam or face-to-face interaction in the inbox post itself?

I'm only asking because I'd hate to clog up the main community with closed logs after closed logs, especially when it's between just two characters.

it's been a week since i asked a question in the faqs but haven't received a reply. please tell me if there's any kind of problem. thank you!

Hey mods, I just had a few ideas/suggestions!

1. Would you guys be open to setting up an account just to post memes? The username and pw could be made available to players through the Player Contact page.
2. Do you guys have any plans to make a monthly or bimonthly HMD? It doesn't have to be mandatory, but a regular one might be a good idea. With the gamewide account for meme, it'd also make this easier to happen because anyone could be posting the meme instead of just the mods!

hey, there! i just want to suggest that you link the test drive (via the tag, http://moneytree.dreamwidth.org/tag/test+drive) in the game profiles? if it's mod run and not a meme put up by players and will be a regular thing it would probably be helpful for people who don't actively use plurk, anon comms, and aren't already in the game!

Hi, there! I was just reminded of this by a friend and you all seem so receptive that it can't hurt to say something here.

It seems a lot of the more action, adventure, exploration, (fetch) quests, and so on sort of events seem to be limited to either the intros or test drives and don't as frequently show up on the monthly events and debt quest lists! The game is obviously still fresh and new and you're working out what is popular, unpopular, works, doesn't work, and so forth so I figured it couldn't hurt to give my personal feedback on this.

TL;DR, I'd really love to see more debt quests or events of this nature, though not necessarily gamewide or unavoidable since I know it's not everyone's cuppa.

Thanks for your time and consideration, guys!

hey mods! at the moment i'm a little confused about how the cr meme works - if it goes up at the end of the month, but next month's announcements aren't up, it kind of limits our options in what we say the plans for the next month are.

would you ever consider putting up the cr meme and announcements at the same time instead, for optimal plotting time?

Hi, just bringing up a concern about the amount of characters in a cast right now. I am speaking of Undertale, since it's the biggest cast this game has.

I have nothing against the people who play from it or the game itself since I'm a fan too but there are 11 in the game and more in reserve. The amount of characters in this one cast seems overwhelming, and I would still feel the same way if they only had one or two characters and another cast instead had the same number.

May I suggest a cap for characters in a cast? Many games have this implemented to keep casts at a manageable size, and if there is an overall character cap, then it keeps casts from growing too much and locking other players from other casts out if the overall cap is reached.

I understand that this game has no character cap so the latter would be pointless, but I do think it would stop many casts from "taking over the game" as some would call it, or simply being intimidating to other players, especially newcomers from other canons. A lot of people can be turned off by the game due the size of a few casts they're not in, especially if they're not interested in those canons.

would you guys ever consider making hmd mandatory? i notice most games, more often than not, have mandatory hmd. a lot of newly opened games also have mandatory hmd. personally, i would love to see hmd become mandatory, as i have heard, in the past, that optional hmd is a bit intimidating for some players. by making it mandatory, it makes it more of a "everyone is doing it and open to it" kind of thing, which makes it a little less scary for those players.

Hi mods! I had an idea that the 4th wall events the game sometimes has could be made more regular. Every two or three months, it could be really good for the game to get an influx of player characters who come as patrons to the island. I feel like the service part of the game is slightly lost as all of the people being served are NPCs; this could serve to bring it back into focus, but not so often that it becomes standard. More like a lull and then a rush season, perhaps?

It could function like a regular fourth-wall where people don't have to app in or have their characters give up their names. They could get a taste of the setting without being involved in the servitude aspect, and if they wanted they could have a potential meeting with the witch as their reason for coming to the island if they did decide to app!

Hey, mods! What do you think about the game getting a revamp or something? Maybe bring something new or, I don't know. It seems like everyone is losing steam and interest because the game stays on the same track, every month, and I'm afraid that it might lead to the game puffing into dust. It makes me sad.

A makeover of image and ideas might help. We hardly get apps or interested players anymore. The fourth wall last month was very tiny compared to the other ones we've had. What do you think about it?
