How's My Driving | July 2013

[ironwood]

Three months have already passed since the last HMD? You betcha! This means that it's time to kick off the fourth quarterly gamewide HMD here in Tu Shanshu! Things are getting structured a little differently this time, so read on for details.

How's My Driving?
While each and every character must have an HMD page available, we offer a gamewide HMD once every calendar quarter. This is an opportunity to get together and discuss IC interpretations and portrayals in a respectful, beneficial fashion. In a nutshell, it's a chance to see how we're doing in the grand scheme of things.

There are a few ground rules to cover off before we can start:

• Participation in the quarterly HMD is 100% optional.
  
• Be respectful, anon or not. It's a lot easier to give and receive crit if all parties are making it a discussion of it rather than an argument.
  
• IP logging is off and anonymous commenting is on. You can offer crit signed-in if you like, but the option's there.
  
• New! We ask that each concrit provided consist of one positive and one constructive bit of feedback. Bring up something that you like about that player, and in the same comment provide something that you feel they could work on. This is to help round out the feedback and provide a better experience all around.
  

That's it, that's all!

And, to make things easier, here's a handy-dandy codeset:

<big><b><i>Player Name</i></b></big> <i>Character Name:</i> <i>Canon:</i> <i>User Name:</i> <I>Focus:</i> Optional. Do you have particular concerns about your portrayal that you'd like to be the focus of crit? You can link any threads you'd like a second opinion on here. If you're looking for structural feedback, or would prefer things like grammar not be mentioned, put it here.

Character Name: Arthur Curry
Canon: DC Comics
User Name: relentlesstide
Focus: I had some OOC issues around the beginning of the month/end of last month, and I know I flaked out with Arthur a lot. Said issues kind of dropped my motivation to tag with him to 0 and drove my anxiety up, but I'm trying to get over that and get back on ball.

Character Name: Bucky Barnes
Canon: Marvel 616
User Name: beganwithamask
Focus: I'm generally pretty comfortable with Bucky so I don't think I really have much of a focus with him, but if you think there's anything I'm off on, please do let me know!

Character Name: Renly Baratheon
Canon: A Song of Ice and Fire
User Name: loveandloyalty
Focus: Still settling into his voice, whoops. This is the first time I've played a character experiencing this much "what is technology and indoor plumbing" culture shock and I'm also still reviewing and working on speech patterns. That said, any specifics that I should work on are welcome! He hasn't been super out and about yet because it's been an adjustment, but that should change.
