[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2956585, member: 29014"] That's the theory. In practise, I've seen that the threads with lengthy proposals are less likely to be read by the judges quickly because they want to wait until they have enough free time to read through the whole proposal (I've seen LEW proposals that get through with lightning speed that are very short, and longer ones are sometimes left alone for quite a well, though this isn't the rule, of course). The ones that are most likely to have a quick piecemeal approval are thus the ones with only a few pieces, as I mentioned. It's like my professor always said--only ever make a single point per e-mail or else they'll focus on the easiest point to answer and not answer the one you wanted, or perhaps answer neither. Another corollary of this is that the fewer the pieces, the more likely you are to have yours focused on--if we get into a big discussion on Wu Jen, it would slow down the approval of other classes in that thread (because we wouldn't have time to discuss them yet), whereas in their own thread they might be approved much faster. Honestly, a thread proposing all the classes is better than none at all for speed, so do write something up, but if you want to get your Gnome Archivist approved with the best possible speed, I'd do a HoH class thread with only Archivist and Dread Necromancer (or if you are really crafty, put Archivist alone and propose it on the grounds that it is available for free, and send a link ;)) [/QUOTE]
