Uh, you know, it's not my place but I still feel the need to comment. Piercing requested time to make the template, and presented it to JD on time, and it appears JD is more than happy to take Pierce's. This shouldn't be made a competition because Pierce had checked the OOC, saw Naruto was not taken or even spoken for, and put in his template as requested. Now if JD decides that this is going to be suddenly voted on, then I myself have a problem and that isn't cool no matter how you slice it dude. If I'm being real with you, it was your responsibility to see if anyone was putting a template forward - JD could have updated, but he didn't, and I don't think Pierce's efforts should be shot down or dismissed whatsoever. He could have updated, but you could have skimmed the OOC to see if anyone was going to do anything too. That is two faults, none of which is Pierce's, so why is his place in the roleplay jeopardized because other people failed to do something themselves?

Not cool with it, and if it comes down to a vote then Pierce has mine by principle. You don't get to take away someone's efforts because of someone else's mistake man.
