An Apology
« on: December 05, 2016, 12:53:14 AM »
Something has come to my attention that I've decided needs rectification.

As is readily visible, I have a massive amount of NPCs attached to my characters. Some of them are highly wealthy, influential people, and others are world-class Hunter-level fighters. Some are both at the same time. Others are actual four year old girls. All have also been approved by the Staff. And I'm not second guessing their decisions on that either.

The thing is, though, I'm technically a Character Creation Mod too, even if I'm not as active because my style of reviewing is time consuming and geared towards specific situations. And that comes with a set of expectations and a level of trust and respect from the users I work with, and my fellow Staff members.  I don't feel it's right, even if it's perfectly above board and I've not really hidden anything, to just have these essentially "high tier" characters at my beck and call without having to do the full measure of work to give them a profile. It doesn't feel just that I can have hunter-tier Red just plausibly show up and wreck some first year's day because he hangs out with Cheri a lot, even though I don't abuse these NPCs at all.

That said, I'm going to give all my higher-tier NPCs their own profile and submit them as normal. Granted, I doubt I'll have a ton of problems since they were already kind of approved anyway, but I feel in the interest of fostering respect among players and confidence in the Staff which I'm a part of, it's the right thing to do, especially when it comes to things like full disclosure, etc.

I should have done this from the start, but in truth things were initially very blurbish in description and all my NPCs sort of evolved conceptually over time anyway. So I apologize, and while I will continue to use them as I have been, I'll start getting things together for them to actually be submitted.
Seek Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly with your God.
