Hey, anon! This is going to be the only real thing I respond to here because of the concern.
The two month period is to allow another player to apply, but also because in some cases we feel it necessary. The OC we felt needed a lot of world building before it would be acceptable, as we're extra critical there. The matter of posting an application post rejection is that we will not get to every application 100% of the time before apps closing. We're aiming to do a fair amount during the week, yes, but it's impossible at this time for us to complete them all in that time period.
Also, keep in mind, this is a very new application team and we're still working out the kinks.
As for the application on Train-- there's no way we'd know a wikia page was worse! The history we were given wasn't acceptable by our own standards, but we saw that the wikia page gave us the same amount of information and tends to be an acceptable source. We by no means judge applications based on the personality listed on the wikia page, but in this case they read very similar regardless. We judge applications based on what we're given we would rather see the character's defining traits. We also look for flaws, which we felt were lacking and/or shallow in this application and many others.
However, we're always willing to listen if you have any concerns. It's our goal to make this a game people are comfortable in. Part of this is following a guideline that we set out from the very start.
Since I'm here, I did want to clear up a misconception. We do have several different application mods, who do have slightly different responding styles, and while we touch base with each other, there will be different styles in our applications, which could be why they appear different.
