How's My Driving | March 2015

HELLO CHELONAUTS! It's been a while since we've had a game-wide HMD post, so here's the first one of our new arc!

How's My Driving?
While each and every character must have an HMD page available, we offer a game-wide 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.
  • 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.

To make things easier, here's a handy-dandy code box:

I'm really happy to see that you're expanding Sokka's CR circle lately! I never considered him insular or anything, but I've always felt that as a non-bender in an RP setting, he would be the first to venture outside the cast circle, and you've done a great job with it. Also THANK YOU for not making him goofy ALL the time! I love the Wang Fire thing (and hope there's another one coming) but some players craft the entirety of the character around that aspect, and they lose the more serious parts of him. I really hope to see Sokka getting involved with the local politics, because I think he could really find a niche there!

If you hadn't said you didn't get a lot of canon review, I'd have completely assumed you'd gone straight from console to keyboard to write the app, because I'd have never guessed. Genis is a hard character to get right in terms of, sometimes he sounds like a 12yo brat, and sometimes he sounds much more mature, and you've got the mix down so far. Especially in a new environment, he's brash but you've got the little bits of uncertainty coming through (especially in the thread with Raine yes what I stalk everything.)

TL;DR you seem really on point with both characters!

Thank you. So. Very. Much.

It's always good to know that your vision of the character lines up with what other people expect. :) Especially when you're doing it live doing it with only vague memories of the voice. (In fairness, I did play about four hours of ToS before writing the Genis app, but that's nowhere NEAR his big developmental changes in the game! Most of it is me remembering how I played in seven years ago elsegame!)

I agree Sokka can find a niche in the political aspects of the game, and I'm slowly working towards that! I definitely need to branch him further and further out, especially with the NPCs. I think he's on a good path. :D

So thank you for your honest feedback! I really appreciate it!
