CHARACTER RECLAIMS



From now until endgame, Synodiporia is closed to new applications.

However, players who dropped or idled characters but who do not have a behavioral strike against them may reclaim characters at any time. Dungeons and app windows are no longer necessary. Simply comment below with "I'd like to bring [character (username)] back!" And we'll take it from there.

Players already at 3 characters who wish to bring back a 4th or 5th may do so so long as they're current on AC. Players wishing to bring in characters above 5 may request special mod permission.

If you are uncertain if you qualify to reclaim, please email us at synodiporians@gmail.com and ask!

Before I put work into any revisions, I need more details about your first request. Right now it reads as an OOC opinion. (IE "We'd rather ask Steven Moffat to change this, but you're here and he is not.") I need a better reason than that since such a request would mean I would have to completely rewrite his app.

As moderators, we have a strong preference for scale, perspective, and believability which are better served by a character whose age measures in the thousands than in the billions. As a character who spent 4.5 billion years repeating one thing recursively, the Doctor would, believably, be defined by that moment alone; the rest of his existence being a rounding error at best. It somewhat stretches credulity, and if possible we prefer to avoid that.

As noted, this point is negotiable, if it's important to you to play the Doctor past that canon point. It looks to us like there are only a few lines of your app which rely on this episode, so it doesn't seem to require a complete re-write, if that's the point of contention. We do have other characters (Death of the Endless) who are similarly cosmic in age and perspective, so either way, this isn't a dealbreaker from our perspective.

In this case, please get rid of both levels of Psychic Detection and keep the rest.
