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:

<big><b><i>Player Name</i></b></big> <i>Character Name:</i> <i>Canon:</i> <i>User Name:</i> <user name=""> <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: Toph Bei Fong

Focus: I'm kind of fresh back to things, so I'm just starting to dip my feet in again, but if you have thoughts or questions about how I'm playing Toph so far, let me know? Mainly I'm trying to get her re-adjusted.

I know I need (and want!) more CR everywhere. <3 I haven't reached out a lot yet due to some else-game changes, but as Toph gets her feet more again, she'll be doing that more and more. The cross-canon CR that I had in this game before was part of what made it awesome.

Who are you again?

I don't need to tell you this here because I tell you this everywhere else, but I love your Toph. You are really really good at her. And seeing as how I've never really gotten to play Sokka properly off of a Toph anywhere else, it is a huge (and very good!) stretch for me! So I'm definitely enjoying it so far! Even if some of your posts give me conniptions trying to figure out how to reply to them! ;)

One day, I want to send Genis Toph's way. That will be a glorious pile of horrible. Ye gods almighty, the turtle is doomed from thence forward.

That person you met that one time over there.

My evil plan to stymie you is working? YES.

Argh, more seriously, though, all of that makes me blush. Thank you. <3 I'm really glad you like her.

I don't know Genis, but it sounds horrifying, so yes, of course. ;)
