I have the application page stalkerpinned, because I like knowing which characters might be coming in, and I couldn't help but notice that you've changed the age rules as a reason to reject an application. I have no comments in regard to the application itself, and this only applies to the rule change.
I don't feel the change was necessary, and believe it cuts out various fandom characters that are perfectly capable of functioning in the setting. I am particularly annoyed because it cuts out characters I'm personally really interested in seeing (Eiko and Vivi from FF9, specifically).
I suspect the ages were set as 5-25 in order to accomodate for such characters, and the rule change has rendered them unappable.
As a side note, I did previously ask the initial mod team how Garden would handle the youngest students previously (here (http://wrmods.livejournal.com/1676.html?thread=375692#t375692)) - it appears that the intention was not to have the younger characters participate in the same classes as the full SeeD program unless they were individually capable. There could most likely be a way to justify the entry of younger students, but cutting them out entirely is - in my opinion - rather unfair.
a small complaint
