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.

Hahahaha yeah. That thing she does.

My only real suggestion on that front is to hold off on tagging someone who's never encountered China before until you PM them or something, but that's usually a lot more trouble than fun RP is worth. It doesn't seem to me like you've had trouble with it so far, though? Most players seem pretty up-to-date and okay with the whole thing, and since attraction does tend to present very differently from character to character, leaving exact thoughts/reactions up to other players is a good idea. Don't fix what ain't broke! If you ever encounter an issue, you can always blame TURTLE SHENANIGANS for why it doesn't work, especially with the Dreaming plane getting up close and personal with the Life plane.

TL;DR on a completely different note, I've never not liked China's voice, which I think is the only part I'm qualified to comment on because I'm not canon-blind. :P KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK.

To this point that's a thing I've been doing, which may relate to not having had trouble. :P But, I haven't really extended myself regarding tagging out with her, either, which... work in progress. ^^;

Blaming turtle shenanigans sounds like a solid plan, and really, she could do with her charms not working on everyone.

Also hahahaha phew thank you. That's kind of a relief to hear. I will attempt to keep up the awesome.
