[QUOTE="CrimsonFlameWielder, post: 6078265, member: 6684473"] PROPOSAL 1: I'm not a senior reviewer, but I really like Proposal 1. I think you've got it right that DM's of an adventure have a bit more at stake with the characters they're DMing for, but the only downside to that I see is this: DM's tend to be pretty busy as it is (especially if they're running multiple adventures), and may not also have time for approving characters. PROPOSAL 1a: I wouldn't automatically approve all characters that have 1 approval in the queue. I would simply say that those characters with only one approval would need to meet the 2 of 3 guidelines mentioned in proposal 1, once they were in an adventure. Especially since we're allowed to adventure without approval anyway, the only thing that would be removed from the process is the idea that we can't earn XP/treasure until approved. PROPOSAL 2: I don't particularly like proposal 2, if only because it really is easy to make mistakes, and without the approval system forcing at least two sets of eyes on a character, it would be really really easy to fudge some small, but unfair things into the character sheet without people noticing (such as small equipment items), whether intentional or not... such as someone creating a 2nd or 3rd character, and using another of their or someone else's character sheet source as a backbone for their own new character, and forgetting to change something in it that they shouldn't have. Just my opinions, but my non-judge vote is a YES on Proposal 1, and 1a (with the corrections shown in my comments above)...which I guess I should propose as 1b, eh? [/QUOTE]
