Quick update: Hiatus + opening applications

Hello all! Gather round, I have a couple of quick announcements and a topic for discussion.

Mod Hiatus: 26th Sept-3rd Oct
Between 26th September and 3rd October, I will be away and won't be able to RP or mod. I will need a volunteer to post mod things in my absence, please PM me if you'd like to help!

Opening apps permanently
So, I've been having a think about numbers. We've had more drops than apps recently, which means our numbers have dipped slightly. The game is now hovering around the 30-character mark, which is just about sustainable. We're still small and new, and we can still grow! I want to do whatever I can to make that happen. And I would very much appreciate your help.

Monthly application rounds don't seem to be the best option right now, especially if we want to encourage more players to join. So from 4th October, I'd like to open applications permanently.

Suggestions welcome!
Is there anything else we can do to help the game grow, or to make the most of the game with our current cast? You've all done some really great things so far and I'd like to see that continue. I hope that I am doing enough to facilitate player plots, but if you have any ideas for anything more that I can do to help, please feel free to suggest them.

Hopefully this is just a temporary dip and we'll bounce right back. I welcome any thoughts or feedback! Thanks all in advance for your input.

I think, given our current numbers and the time of year it is (everyone going back to school and a lot of traveling for holidays) permanently open apps is a smart move! Can't wait to see who will app in!

I'm on board with keeping apps open permanently as well.

I think open apps, as [personal profile] youronlylaw said, is a good idea with the holidays and school. With how things are as we go towards the end of the year, it'll likely get slow, but it will pick up gradually. All we can do is advertise on ATP, rpanons, and word of mouth!
