[ Mod Approval Requests ]

[tripled_mods]

Please comment here to request approval for any upcoming plots or actions which require mod review. Said plots and actions include, but aren't limited to:

► Use of a non-claimed canon character on a temporary basis, i.e. occasional journal hacking or RLs involving canon characters. Each instance of journal hacking, etc. will need separate approval. Use of a canon character for longer periods may require actually applying for the character on a permanent basis. Semi-sentient pets, sidekicks, henchmen, and other, similar characters also fall under this rule if they are pulled from the canon (not player-created) and are going to be interacting with community members at any great length.

► Plots involving the death of one or more characters. Canon deaths do not require approval. However, we ask that canon deaths also be brought to our attention to prevent any confusion over approvals and to give us a heads up as to what's going on. Certain methods of resurrection may also be subject to mod review, so if a plot involves character death, please bring it to us here.

► Plots involving sensitive subjects, as defined here. This list isn't comprehensive, other sensitive subjects that aren't listed may still require mod approval. If a plot could potentially offend or make people uncomfortable, to be on the safe side you might want to check with a mod beforehand. Mods reserve the right to deny or stop the progress of any ongoing plot deemed to be inappropriate or disruptive.

There may be other situations in which mods should be contacted beforehand, mostly where plots are going to affect the majority of the community. If you have doubts as to whether something falls under one of these categories or needs approval for any other reason, it's always best to err on the side of caution. Please ask one of the mods (a list of which can be found here) or mod assistants if a formal request is necessary, or just go ahead and put one in. We'll be happy to let you know if it's something that doesn't require approval. It should also go without saying, but once you've made a request here, do not go ahead with your plot point until either it's approved by a mod, or you're advised by a mod that approval isn't needed.

Please note: Approval requests will be checked, on average, every week or so. To avoid any delays to being able to implement your planning, it's best to get your requests in as soon as possible. If you're unable to do so and need to make the request on short notice with a specific deadline or if your request goes over a week without being reviewed, you can give one of the mods a friendly nudge. ♥

The time has come-Mir's cannon has nearly progressed to the point where she will drop the mask of congeniality and declare her desire to kill all humans openly on the community-and she plans to do so backed by the full power of Ar Tonelico. Using the community and data she cribbed from the TSAB, she'll be able to fire it across dimensions to both strike at and deter her enemies.

This is both a plot that will involve issues of attempted genocide and weapons of mass destruction, as well as something that will weaponize on of the key conceits of the entire game. Targeting will be done on a purely voluntary basis-Mir can hit nothing without prior approval for the purposes of this plot, though she can threaten to hit a lot of things, or have last-minute failures thanks to straining centuries old parts to their failure points. Needless to say, approval is needed.

Sounds good! Go for it.

Figured I'd play it safe and ask permission: Miharu and Retasu are going to ask Crazy Old Kougami just what's going on with these new Core Medals he's heard about, and I wanted NPC permissions to have Kougami explain and probably be baking a cake or twelve.

...There will be enough cake for the community. Miharu will not ask how.

Go for it! As usual, if the character is apped, they're not bound by the events and if you need him for more than one post, you'll need a separate permission. I look forward to that cake.

Requesting to use a boy Vash meets for an upcoming canon update. The boy, Kaite, helps a groups of bandits break into the sandsteamer Vash is on but eventually comes to Vash's side and helps and I thought it would be a good chance to go into detail about a side of Vash he would never show himself. So, I'd like to use him not only for the initial post but for the comments in that post as well.

[tripled_mods]

Approved! Just remember that if anyone should app him in the future, they won't have to incorporate that post into his history.

Yes ma'am! His journal name will be Goingtoflya.
