Many may know this already, but I think it bears repeating.

Any of us DMs are usually more than happy to run over ideas / concepts with you if we have the time. If you have a tough time with apps, no problem--We are here to help, to discuss, and to be sounding board when time allows. For those who have little experience in writting character applications the first few times / rejections can be tough. We can help, and explain why something may not work.

Even non app related questions, feel free just to pop in IRC and chat with us. We're really mostly friendly people and as DMs here to help you the player have fun in a fun environment.

Just as an addendum to this-

Applications are something you guys should kind of hound us about. We get alot of them and understandably sometimes we get a little lax in getting back to people. If you've sent in an app and its been say, over two or three days with no word, contact one of us via forum PM or IRC and extract an answer! We don't bite.

I mentioned this because I was made aware that some players were waiting as long as weeks before enquiring. We try and turn apps around as soon as possible and the common thing is that we've voted by haven't yet caught up with you. So yeah, hunt us down.
