In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Maybe I came at a bad time or there 'is' a problem. I understand that the team is organising who does what which can potentially make things run smoother in the long run. But like...instead of telling people to do it or organising who should do it...couldn't they like just...like....actually 'do it'?

I'm just starting to wonder how important the users really are here, and if one leaves because they aren't happy with the way things are run then the 'team' ((i.e admins/mods)) don't care. And perhaps if a user tries to speak out, they just get ignored or even booted off.
I've been sitting for a while now waiting for profiles to be modded, and I don't want to hear the "We have lives" thing again. In the time taken to copy and paste that the modding could have been done (I'm not just speaking for myself please don't take my words as selfish), Mods and stuff have also jsut posted in casual threads without even looking at the profiles.
I really don't want to be just banned for this or want to leave, but I can't really participate until I get accepted! (Yes I have one profile accepted, but I have an RP panned out between my original and world character providing I've shown I'm responsible enough to RP as that character, but I won't even know until its looked at!)
I'm just simply pondering how important the average user is. I've definately not stayed here long enough to mean a presence personality-wise, but as a mere number, but doesn't that still count for something?
EDITT: Okay, well upon checking I've found that I'm the only one not modded, so maybe I am speaking for myself, but I still shouldn't have to wait this long...right?
Yes, we have lives. Please respect that fact, again, I must reiterate, mods can't be here for everyone's every whim.
Please also note the fact that I have looked over your profiles, HOWEVER, I lack any knowledge of Final Fantasy 9. That is why I have not accepted or rejected your profile. That is why I'd rather leave your profile to an Instructor that actually knows something about FF9. My FF knowledge only consists of FF7, 8, 10 and 10-2.
So far, the only person that is an Instructor that I know knows something about the storyline of FF9 is Seph.
Patience is a virtue.
EDIT:
Also... if we can please get back on the subject of future goals of this website, that would be much appreciated. This thread was not supposed to be about mods, what we do and whatever that has to pertain to us.

Please accept that we can't always be here Moby. If you're not getting your profile accepted, I suggest you PM a staff member or something. Not post in a thread titled: Our Goals, about how we always use the same excuses over and over. However it is true that we have lives outside of this site. It's nice to point out mistakes about the staff and help them, but pointing a finger at us and calling out many things we do wrong all the while adding to them to make them sound terrible just isn't right. We're staff, we're human, we're going to make a mistake once and awhile.
The users are a lot to the staff, saying that we don't care is not something you do. Instead of making up false accusations about the staff, try seeing how hard we are working now. World Destiny is undergoing a big change and we need the support of all members on here to finish it. I personally am hurt by some of the things you said in your post, we don't boot a member off for speaking out. May I point out that you are speaking out right now and you're still on the site?
As for waiting for your profile...All members are the same; we're not treating any better or worse because of who they are. Be patient and wait for your profile to get accepted.
Okay get back on topic yes Sorry but for the sake of progress (hopefully), and I think its important to say...(this will lead on to the plot discussion)
I can't argue against lack of knowledge over a game. And I repeat myself about 'being afraid to speak out' because that "I'm hurt by what you said" doesn't display working in unison with users, its just demeaning and makes me feel 'uncomfortable' with trying to contribute in future. And the whole point of being a mod IS to be there for the users, thats the whole point about being a mod; work first RP later, thats the sacrifice for earning a title.
Not at user's whim? You're here, you're now, you came to my 'whim' when I made that post, so why not there for a profile? Its not a good representation when users have to wait almost a week, especially if the mods most definately have been getting on.
This isn't a rant about my profile in specific, I'm saying that in order for the RPB to expand, then more users will have to join. I know EXACTLY how to get atleast 15 members to join before the end of the weekend. I can't garuntee they will be the best RPers but their profiles should speak that, but I don't want to bring up the hype just to see them disapointed.
Obviously, with the 'we are currently undergoing changes' comment, I don't understand whats going on, so I will ask if I should 'hold' on this member gain for now then for your sakes?

I'm not exactly sure if you noticed or not, but myself, Velum, Leon, Sephiroth, and Sage/Relena are not moderators, per se. We are merely the people that the admin of the site has devoted her trust into for going over profiles and helping people with their RP skills. We are here for the users.
Now, myself, I know Sephiroth and Leon in person. Sephiroth and Leon actually both have REAL LIFE JOBS. Being an Instructor is only something that they can do when they have, oh, I don't know, free time? Leon's computer has also been acting up, A LOT and she's been trying to get that looked at or be getting a new laptop all together.
Velum is my boyfriend (and yes, I know I don't normally publicize that, however...), he has also got real life issues to be dealing with. There are some health complications that he's been having to deal with, and yes, I know that probably isn't my place to be saying that. (so... I'm very sorry, Vel D8).
I don't know Sage that well, however, I do know that she's got school, and yes, school and school studies have most of us bogged down.
NOW, me, personally, I have health issues as well. I was diagnosed with cancer May of 2007, and YES I'm still undergoing treatment every now and then, and even though I am home schooled, I also have real life issues as well. I work at a zoo most of the day, so when I get home, I'm tired, smelly, fatigued and all that other great stuff.
So you know what? Us hearing about profiles not being looked at and accepted or posted to every couple of hours, every couple of days or what have you is really, really irritating. I'll also have you know that I am probably one of the most mellow users on this site, however, I must point out the fact that even though you say 'yes, let's get back on topic' you are still bringing up things that I and others want to have void.
Not at user's whim? You're here, you're now, you came to my 'whim' when I made that post, so why not there for a profile? Its not a good representation when users have to wait almost a week, especially if the mods most definitely have been getting on.
Again, I have to reiterate, my knowledge of FF9 is nonexistent. I'll leave your profiles to Sephiroth. PLEASE, just be patient.

*sighs* I would also like to point out the fact that this thread is not about what we can do to gain more members than that of what we have. Though having more members here that were actually active would be really nice, this thread is not about that.
How can we go about putting the official plot into motion? Discuss.
*points to this, then points to the blank spot below this post for posting*
The Mods are not on trial here, Moby. My suggestion is that you drop your entire spectacle on the subject and help us move on to something worthwhile and meaningful. The staff here are not subject to your inept opinions.
Now, something useful. Plot movement. Since I've been around here, the plot has been stated but never actually gone anywhere. I placed in a Dark Keyblade contest meant for the next plot device, but since it never came to pass, does this mean Rook is a Keyblade-wielder still? Has that been written off over time? Is it still a go? What can be done to help get this ball rollin'?
I don't know Sage that well, however, I do know that she's got school, and yes, school and school studies have most of us bogged down.
*To Moby*
While that may be true, know that on top of the homework I just received over this long week, I also am in a competition where I must put in at least an hour of work into it each and every day. Please bear with me, as often times I may not be on when you need me.
What I said was not trying to get you to see why we're working in unison Moby, nor should it make you feel uncomfortable. May I point out that you are the one posting on here and blaming the mods? You should know by now that if you do that you're going to get some responses that are going to make you think twice.
And must I repeat myself again? We know already about your profile needing to be accepted, get off our case. My apologies Moby if you take that the wrong way.
