Further to the previous question, what is the best way to handle the situation when a hold has lapsed and you have another person wanting to apply for the character? It's not a case of choosing between two apps - Player A has placed a hold and then fallen off the face of the earth, as far as I can tell. Not responding to IJ pings, not on AIM, etc - and Player B wants to app the character.

Do I tell Player B to app anyhow, and risk having to turn them down when/if Player A comes through?

Do I tell Player A tough luck and accept Player B's on principle?

Or do I wait until I have both apps, making Player B wait for Player A, and then decide based on merit? Of the three options I feel like this is the least fair.

	Just to tack on to this, player A might be having computer issues. But if their hold has expired... well, there hold has expired. It sucks but it's totally fair to go ahead and accept player B, especially on the off chance that Player A is just flaky (and probably will continue to be in the game). (Reply to this) (Thread)

ALSO, you can do that out of courtesy in case it was an issue like what I mentioned above (computer died). But seriously, B's interested, they're around, it's unfortunate for A, sure, but not your problem and rather unfair to do to Player B. (Reply to this) (Parent)
