First of all, we'd like to thank you for the support and the reply. We appreciate it!
However, we'd also like to alleviate some of your worries. It's always been an implicit rule among the mods that the first implementation of new rules and procedures are done with more leniency and consideration (e.g., new AC rules, new app cycle rules, etc) -- we just don't always get to voice it out, since it's a little difficult to explain in modposts. Rest assured, if we see deficiencies in the system in the next app cycle, we will surely adjust for the benefit of the players. The new process was planned from the beginning of this long app break, scheduled for December, but took some time to prepare because of various reasons -- changing things between two-month app cycles tends to get difficult for the mods and sometimes the playerbase to balance.
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding!
