Hmm, so rather than applying for any given technique or clan, you propose that it would be more productive to award authors who put forth an effort into completing a basic foundation of the character first. If they meet this criteria they are free to create what they. Yes this works wonderfully. It addresses the primary reason for why the application policy was put into place while allowing authors the freedom to create what they want without necessarily having to go through extra loops.

It also encourages authors to begin writing and planning out a more fully fledged out character if they want to have access to these powers. See this is why you're an admin. Good shit Kaze, I support this 100%. This feels like a natural evolution of the application policy into something that just about everyone can get behind. We all want better writing, but the freedom to create what we want. This pretty much solves all the problems on both sides, yet reinforces the core values of the wiki.

If you could hear me, you would hear the sound of a roaring applause Kaze.
