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.

Raine is beautiful. You've got a solid voice for her. She's entirely stoic, but that's who she is. I still would love to get her and Sokka to interact more, but now I have Genis, so my priority will definitely shift to getting more Genis and Raine goodtimes in. Especially since forcing Sokka and Raine together - while it's been fun - might just be trying to get oil and water to mix.

With China, my interactions with her are also limited, and I'm completely canon-blind with her. I've had one instance with her to gloriously weird extent.

My hunch would be that you could play China much more strongly on the network where that thing she does doesn't necessarily take hold. Or I'm guessing it wouldn't take hold. It would be a way to play her much more strongly.

This is a really belated response but seriously, hearing that from canon-familiar people basically always makes me grin for like a day straight. Thank you.

I really did love what Sokka and Raine had going in the Dreaming but have no clue how to prompt that again, that kind of happened by accident, and I agree re: focusing on sibling times.

I think you're right about the network stuff -- she consciously chooses audio half the time, even -- so I'll see about working with that going forward. c:
