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.
→ For this HMD, IP logging has been turned ON. If dicussion remains civil, it will be removed next time.
→ 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.

Post/Tag more. Keep a better eye on your Flists. Get your girls out there more often. People have gone over a week without tags from you to continue threads that haven't met their conclusions, and so have your castmates. I don't know how busy or chaotic your life is, but when Lightning got poisoned and had to go almost a week without getting a tag from Serah, her own sister? There is something definitely wrong with that picture. I get that it can be hard to keep up with Route sometimes, especially if you're in other games, but you need to be more active and keep a closer watch on things. One or two tags a day isn't going to earn either of your characters much CR, which does come back to bite them in the butt at times.

Just my two cents, and it's the only gripe I have. You play them well, but not enough. Get them out more, tag more often, don't leave people hanging for days at a time. If you can't handle the load, drop a character. Take a hiatus until things settle down if life is throwing you constant curveballs. Just...don't let things keep on like this. It's only going to hurt you in the long run.

I know I need to be more active. I'm used to games that are quite a bit more lax when it comes to pacing, so I'm used to taking my own sweet time with things. That, I'm not going to argue with.

However I find your "almost a week" comment about the poison thing a little exaggerated, since the post went up on the 12th and I commented to it on the 15th. I hardly call 3 days, almost a week.

So yes, I know my activity can be spacey at best, it's something I've noticed and already taken steps to working on. Might not really be there yet, but I've been trying to implement a schedule of sorts so that tags don't lie forgotten in my inbox for 5+ days again.
