Hi, I'd like to raise a concern that is more about good manners and consideration for other site users rather than actual technical tweaks to gameplay. I am surprised to see that GMs can put up their game proposals, an application thread, a commencing date and then, just log off until that date arrives to make their selection moments before the game is due to kick off. To me, this seems quite ridiculous and inconsiderate to applicants. Imagine a game proposal is written up, really brief, and posted (perhaps with an "extra" question like "what's your favourite animal and why?" numerous applicants respond, looks like its not uncommon for 20-30 to do so... each player puts a varied amount of thought and effort into their response, from the scant "I'm in, hit me up" to the in depth and creative role creation with background etc, lots of care to fit into to the sometimes very brief line of world description and opening scenario... then silence. No response. No further questions. No polite message (or automated/copy-pasted one) apologising but saying that the slots have been filled and they didn't get accepted at this time, no need to sit by the computer at proposed game commencement. I must admit I've not been here long enough to have experienced this yet, but it appears to be a looming likelihood... I have made two applications well in advance for games happening on Monday evening... I put care and consideration into my application and have hoped to be selected (my applications went in 3 days ago and tonight is the Saturday evening, 2 days before game commencement.) As the date drew near I wrote to each GM and posted a thread on each game saying I would like advance notice whether I had made the grade or not. There has been no response from either. What I am led to conclude, is that these GMs are going to make their selections moments before game commencement, presumably expecting those 20-30 individuals to all be sat by waiting to play that evening. This is a joke. This is inconsiderate, this seems ill planned, and perhaps incorrectly I am assuming this is the norm here (?). My suggestion would be that the Roll20 site puts in a simple measure to not let this scenario occur, quite simply an application deadline (a week or just under, before the proposed game launch) - applications close / the thread locks and a GM selection deadline which starts from the application deadline, and ends maybe 3 days before game commencement. The GM must fill their game by that date and notify their selected players (perhaps the site provides a list of the users who applied and asks for the successful names to be ticked, a maximum number in accordance to the original proposal) - I guess other players may sign up from discord or elsewhere - or perhaps not, perhaps Roll20 will demand Roll20 applicant profiles - there's definitely grey areas and discussion to be had. But I really think the "30 hopefuls sat by their computer" scenario needs to be addressed... As it goes I have too much self respect for this to happen to me - the GMs whose games launch this Monday have passed the deadline I have set, I will be going out for a quiet pint with friends... but I think it is really bad that this dreadful lapse in manners needs to be addressed. If you guys were uninclined to make actual technical adjustments to accommodate the suggestion I've made above - perhaps you could include a highlighted tip for handling applications in advance of game commencement as a tip for GMs - prompting folk to be considerate - an addition to your community guidelines. That's got to be an easy fix. Thanks for reading everyone's thoughts are welcome, I look forward to reading them.
