How's My Driving | March 2015

[ironwood]

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.

Focus: Open
Player Note: I would just like to go on and point out I know I have a lot of grammar issues. This is a life long problem I am constantly trying to improve. I do apologize for any issues it causes. Some issues with Vergil's behavior are simply me trying to figure out how to properly combine what Nelo Angelo was to who Vergil is and sometimes it comes out strange. Either way, I feel the need to apologize for any problems and say I hope make lots of fun for everyone.

Actually, about the grammar thing - I'm really, really impressed. There's a common misconception that grammar is easy and that if you're not doing it right, you're either bad at writing or too lazy to try and correct it. I always notice when someone (read: you) is a talented writer with comparatively minor issues, because it means that you have been constantly trying to improve, and it shows.

I can't say much about Vergil's behaviour what with being canon-blind, but I've liked what I've seen so far!

Thank you, so very much. It means so much just reading this. It's strange for me to read a responce to a HMD and end up smiling and feeling good.

I am glad you have liked it, I quite enjoy stalking Skullduggery and Valdis' thread myself. +_+ I look forward to future CR.

... Oh dear. The one with the book 6 spoilers? :c I apologise in advance if you ever get around to picking them up. HAVING SAID THAT the thread is criminally fun and I'm glad someone else is enjoying it too!

[livefastdieyoung]

No worries~! I dont mind spoilers. I still am excited to read those books.

(I'm working on an app and didnt wanna switch accounts. Sorry for the confusion.)

I said I was going to comment on everybody, and DARN WELL I MEAN IT!

Even if I have no CR with Vergil yet nor know anything about his character. Whoops.

So in other words, let's fix that together. :D This is less an HMD and more of a wistful request, I realise, but I don't want you to feel left out if I provide feedback for everyone else and not you!

[walkthedarkpath]

We'll fix that by somehow getting CR this month!

We will make this happen!
