EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is encouraged, not mandatory. We will not penalize you for not using it.
→ Feel free to link your personal HMDs if you would like, just in case someone doesn't want to use the mass HMD post.
→ this is more for actual critique and discussion. Please don't just blindly praise a person or just call them horrible. If someone's doing a wonderful job, you can tell them, just tell them why, or even where they're showing off bonus perks. If someone's doing a not-so-wonderful job, tell them why, give them things to improve on if you can. Examples, links, things that can give them something to work on. Meaning, no bashing, flaming, or nasty behavior. Please keep it civil.
→ Anonymous is turned on! But note: anonymous is a privilege, not a right. If it's being abused to bash players, please be sure to let one of us know and we'll step in or freeze threads if necessary. If anonymous is abused too much, it will be turned off for the next HMD.
→ Don't take this all too personally! Remember that roleplay is a game, and crit is supposed to help, not make you feel horrible. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

okay so

i will admit that this should have been addressed during the formulation of the plot but i am admittedly kind of uncomfortable with the way the current caster thing is being handled

namely the fact that triggery material being broadcast over ICly public channels never goes over well. like if it were a private plot that was only between characters who had opted into it then i would have like zero problems. that setup would not put pressure on people who have close cr with robin or kiki but may want to stay out of it because they're uncomfortable with or triggered by the subject material. in that kind of situation, flocks and tws don't really help.

and i am not going to say "well this stuff should never happen in a game like this!" like i said, i am not against the idea of a private plot that touches this kind of material, and i recognize that it would be silly to say "well this character who canonically murders kids in really horrifying ways should never attack children."

like maybe caster could have directed the vid to robin only, and then robin could have contacted someone/a few someones who had opted in to be contacted. something along those lines.

i mean, i think a big chunk of the reason i'm concerned (outside of personal squicks) is that i've seen the fallout from a very similar scenario basically destroy another game. i personally do not have triggers related to this material but honestly i can definitely see how a plot like this would be difficult to avoid for those who do. i kind of doubt that would happen to route since route is way bigger than that game, but honestly i am just kind of getting uncomfortable flashbacks here.

No real notes other than the fact that I'm aware of my activity with Barney. I'll be working on fixing that.

Especially looking for feedback on Illidan, though of course anyone who has anything to say on Twi should let me know that too.

[foreveraclone]

ahhh, not gonna lie but you're one of the reasons why I've looked into mlp. I loved the thread we had with Twilight Sparkle and BB! I definitely hope we can thread together in the future!

Just Heather here!

I'm kind of JUST getting back on the horse over here after a period of too much AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAing to do anything, so please let me know if anything is off!

[doitrockapella]

Yagyuu Hiroshi | Prince of Tennis | usedlaserbeam
Carmen Sandiego | Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? | doitrockapella

I'm actually fairly happy with both of them lately! Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have, I'm always happy to answer them. ♥

[usedwaterpulse]

Katara and Tohru Honda (seethebrightside), here! Katara should have a private HMD, I don't know if Tohru does.

In regards to activity I'm just catching up with old tags one character/game at a time, but after that I'll be putting some new things up for both girls.

[when_turks_fly]

Hikaru Shidou | Magic Knight Rayearth | will_to_burn
Valeria [Knife] | Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII | when_turks_fly

Both girls have HMDs in their journals if you'd rather hit me up there. You can also reach me through PM on either journal. Any feedback you've got for me would be greatly appreciated!

[urbaninja]

I unfortunately don't come bearing crit as I don't know either canon very well. I just wanted to say that it's great to have you back in the game and I've really been enjoying the CR between Roxas and Valeria and look forward to more.

So yeah, thanks for that.

[tearsofademon]

Ryner Lute :: The Legend of the Legendary Heroes :: tearsofademon
Kurow :: Okamiden :: tinymoonkid

Both have character-specific HMDs in their journals if you'd prefer those. All feedback is welcome.

and I promise, there will be a Kurow post tomorrow.

edit; OH AND I know I've been a little slow lately (compared to my usual speed, anyway) but I'm getting back in the swing I think! Sorry for any big delays I have left in getting back to tags!

getting back into the swing of things!! sorry about the road bump, you guys aren't losing me just yet.

[usedquack]

Duck | Princess Tutu | usedquack

Duck has an HMD in her journal if you would rather use it. Comments are screened, anonymous is enabled, and I don't even know how to track IP addresses so you have nothing to fear from me.

[fuwa_fuwa]

What I've seen of Duck so far has been pretty true to her canon as far as I can tell! I really liked her text thread with Vanitas where she suggested Karkat had to wake up with a kiss.

A thing about your HMD post, though! Anonymous is disabled on your account and if you're not sure how to track IP addresses, it's probably enabled since that's the default. You can fix both by going to Account Settings --> Privacy, then choose "everybody" next to Enable Comments and "nobody" next to IP Address Logging.

Uhmmm other than my recent bout of slowness (I blame work slamming me with nighttime shifts, it throws me off my tagging groove 8|||), I'm feeling pretty alright? I know I need to tag out and around with Lea more, though I'm sitting on a few threads where I did just that ffff.
