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: I'm always concerned about getting in the proper balance of smart, ridiculous, nice, and arrogant with him. He's got a lot of things going on at once and I feel he should, but I know that can end up slowing me down or get in the way of my execution. Also, I'm not a comics expert, so comics experts, if you noticed something I need to be aware of, please let me know. I'm moving toward making him more pushy as he gains momentum, so if anyone has noticed anything wrong with that, I'd love input.

Focus: Nice guys are so not my usual area, so I want to know if I'm screwing this up. I haven't gotten him out as much, but that's mostly been because December has been a train wreck for me as far as time. I'm resolved to get on point from here on! But if you think I could improve things, please let me know. :D
