How's My Driving | January 2014

WELCOME WELCOME, THE QUARTER QUELL HAS ARRIV-- wait a minute, wrong script. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! It's that time of the (new) year again! Read on for the details of this, the newest of our quarterly HMDs.

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.

Focus: My activity has been awful during the holidays, and I'm likely to not be as present as I'd like for the rest of the winter, but there's nothing I can really do about that besides be careful not to overcommit and consequently flake out, which I did in November/December and am on guard about for the next few months.

Also I'd be curious to know if people think I'm playing her too naive. She's not stupid or even truly naive; despite the fact she's very fluent in English, she didn't come to the surface until she was 14 and therefore has minimal cultural grounding, so she doesn't understand the reasons behind things people take for granted and/or applies Stupid Underwater Rome logic to situations where Atlantean tradition or perspective is of no use. That could easily tip over into Cloud Cuckoo Lander territory, though. I'm not sure where the line is myself.
