How's My Driving | January 2014

[ironwood]

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.

Re: Al | Superman & Frank Zhang

You were hiatus for some time, which I think definitely influenced Clark's visibility, but overall I think you've been doing a good job of balancing Superman being out and about and Clark being involved in the game and its plots. I would like to see Frank around more since I think when you really get into Clark's plots he slides to the back. He seems to be a really quiet guy in comparison, but I think he's really cool and would love to see him doing things and being more involved. Not sure if I have any suggestions on how to do that myself, but he's like a baby superhero in training and I can't wait to see more done with how that progresses!

Now as for your English fails, it's something we've discussed about you slip into being more formal at times and while you're right it's been more often recently, you caught it yourself and took steps to fix it. I've noticed changes in my tags with Frank and with Clark since then and I think as long as you're aware and read your tags to think if maybe they're too formal for the situation before posting them, you'll do just fine.
