HMD | June 2012

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.

again, i think very few people are having problems with the fact that a pretty horrifying thing happened. i personally do not have a problem with people playing out sensitive subjects. i have a problem with the fact that the sensitive material was publicly broadcast over the network instead of being done in a private log/network post between characters whose players had okayed their involvement beforehand. people should not be forced to bend character so they won't have to participate in a plot that's uncomfortable for them.

honestly, all that i think needs to be done is to make sure that future plots involving sensitive subject matter are contained only to people who want to be involved. like my initial suggestion that caster could make the plot post a private video geared towards robin, who would then contact characters whose players had opted in to the event. i think that would be a pretty good way to handle the rest of this plot-because, again, i am not saying NO TRIGGERY PLOTS EVER. they just have to be monitored and handled more carefully than other plots, that's all.

if that's what you have planned then welp i just threw a lot of things at you that you already knew, but i figured i would throw in my two cents on it. the initial post can't really be retconned out, but i think it would be a good process to have in the future.

We plan on making sure future plots will have clearer and more defined ways around it so others won't feel as though they need to be involved if it makes them uncomfortable. This plot can be handled the same way; the post has currently been pulled, and, seeing as it's daytime hours for some of us, we can figure out where we are going with it. It's not too late for this to be retconned, seeing as the post hasn't even been around for 48 hours.

We're just not sure what we'll be doing with it yet, and that will take some time to figure out. Until then, the post is out of sight and can be considered not in existence until further notice.

oh! i didn't notice, that is actually one better than i was going for! i am glad to see that, then.
