Hard to believe that we've been up and running on a gameplay level since August 1st and it's already October, but here we are! In keeping with the gameplay structure, it's time for our first quarterly HMD here at Tu Shanshu.

How's My Driving?
While each and every character must have an HMD available, we offer a gamewide 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 crit signed-in if you like, but the option's there.


That's it, that's all!

And, to make things easier, here's a handy-dandy codeset:

HOW (WAS) OUR DRIVING?

It's That Time again! As before, and for anyone who may have missed it, at the end of every mod-run event in Tu Shanshu we toss up an open dialogue post so that the events can be discussed. This is mostly to see if everybody's as happy as possible with the direction the game is going, whether or not the events could be considered a hit or a miss, that sort of thing.

This particular HMD is regarding the GANG WAR EVENT, and this is where you all come in.

Did you like it? Did it run too fast? Too many posts? Too few? What did you think of the little mini-plots themselves - the break-in, the sacrifice, et al? Was there enough variation for everyone? Did you guys have fun, or did you feel like you were overwhelmed with it all?

Also - do you think we improved on event mechanics comparative to our previous one? Did we have another big event too soon and would you like to see it spaced out a bit more? What do you think is a reasonable time between game-wide events? Was there enough for everyone to do?

OBVIOUSLY if you have more comments, questions or concerns than those listed above you can add those as well! This is pretty much just a general list.

Please remember, ANON IS ON for this and IP LOGGING IS OFF so if you have anything you'd like to say but maybe you're more comfortable putting it forth anon that is a-okay! You can also feel free to PM us at this journal, or to toss a private plurk at either of the mod accounts (those being [plurk.com profile] vonnerdyce or [plurk.com profile] reignsdown) if that suits your fancy. Any and all comments are welcome, and though participation in this meme isn't required it's definitely encouraged if you're up for it.

Thanks again, guys, and happy turtling!

HOW (WAS) OUR DRIVING?

So, at the conclusion of every mod-run event in Tu Shashu, we've decided to have an OPEN DIALOGUE post! Basically, we modly ones want player opinions as to how events are run in the game, in the hopes of improving those that we run in the future, and to ensure that as many people as possible are happy with how things are being done.

This one is for the recent Festival Event.

Did you like it? Were the daily posts too much? Is there any aspect of how we ran it that you'd like to see again, or any aspect you absolutely do not want to see again?

Anon is on for this, and IP logging is off, so if the idea of anonymity would make you more comfortable approaching us, feel free! If you'd rather not voice your opinion on a public forum but would still like to talk to us, please PM [personal profile] ironwood and we will get back to you ASAP.
