The Waiting Game Revisited
So awhile ago, one of the gents from Hollow City said, "Argh we need new vampires! Anyone wanting to play Malk, Toreador, Nos or Ventrue gets more freebies! Please send in social vampires!" So on that basis, and since Hollow City really does not demand that much of my time, I decided to finally submit my manipulative fashionista Toreador. This, IIRC, was Tuesday afternoon. Thursday morning, I get email from the head ST saying, "Cheers, dear, same old saga, these things take time, we'll let you know".
...
Is it really uncharitable of me to want to fly to where this ST is, grab her by the lapels, shake her vigorously and explain that the other two boards I'm on have approved my characters (complete with necessary tweaks because I suck with numbers) in the time it took her to get me confirmation that she'd even seen the application?
I mean, seriously. For Charleston, it took a total of a day and a half to get my character approved, and that only because I'd done the maths wrong and accidentally given myself too much in the way of freebies. For Chicago, it took even less time because the head ST for Chicago happened to be online and was happy enough to simply say, "You didn't take enough freebies, where do you want that last two points? Then we can each amend the character sheets we have and you're ready to go". And yet over on Hollow City, it takes weeks to get approval, even without things like the Dex 5 Debate.
I don't get that lot at all.
