Jesus.

Eventually apps are only going to be open for minutes.

naw they actually went slower this round than the last couple rounds

Really? It's only been seventeen hours.

i have this memory of apps filling 20 minutes after slots for non-reserved characters opened

i can't remember if that was last time or the time before

You're probably right. It's just crazy how fast they go though

and that was after we'd moved the reserved-only period to 12 hours

oh yeah i remember that round

i think that was the round i was watching them stream into the inbox one by one and going

i will never not be mesmerized by exsil apps

i like to think of app slots as like everyone fighting to the death like in the hunger games

This.

That's a great analogy.

I'm not even in the game right now and I'm still entranced by how damn quickly those app slots go.

may the odds be ever in your favor

yeah no when i first apped i was like oH GOD IM NOT READY

but i managed to get slot 49 i was so proud of myself

It just means love

ahaha nice

People love us

yeah i was pretty baffled when i submitted my bb app literally 2 minutes after apps opened

and im still only spot 14 jaffdg

i still remember that i just waited for about 40 seconds after it was the official time, just so i wasn't first-first

just 40 seconds cost me 9 slots, and i ended up 10th?? 8|

hahaha damn

I submitted mine like....15 minutes late because gmail was formatting everything into columns of symbols

But still made the 50. I was like "yikes!"

The time it filled up in 20 minutes was the first round on this system wasn't it?

i think so :|a

i seem to have wiped that round from my memory entirely

my past is a mystery to me

I think that round might have given you mod PTSD

that's probably it

actually last round it was 22 hours, the round before that 25-26 hours?

so this is the fastest yet

whoa really, do you have that like written down

i'd swear there was around that was only just over 12 hours...

There was one but it was earlier in the summer

but i'd trust actual record over my memory

I remember that one

ROFL I got a good memory for numbers and I watch it every month

huh okay we'll go with that then

i'm continually frazzled by apps so probably not a good source

and nope! The reserves slot got lowered down to 12 so people who didn't reserve would get a fair chance of apping

yeah a bit earlier in the summer there was the under-12 hours one

i'm pretty sure that was the august one because i think i was still at jansen's

... yeah, i think you're right, betsy... that was the one!
