HMD | August 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.
→ 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.

I know she's been quiet lately, but I'm in the process of fixing that! ♥

Yeah he's been pretty quiet so far this month. Hopefully that'll change now that he's aiming for a few gym badges.

Still working on getting him back out there, but I think he's making some progress! I'm trying to soften him up a little and find avenues to let him be a bit more chatty, so I hope that's coming off well while fundamentally staying true to character.

❖ Carmen Sandiego | Geography Is Serious Business | doitrockapella
Please tell me if Zack the Porygon2 is obnoxious or if I'm relying on him too heavily. I love him a lot, but I really don't want to overdo it with him, either.

❖ Albert Rosenfield | Twin Peaks | worktodo
I swear he will not always be as RAEGFURIOUS as he was in his first post. He will mellow out, I promise. Mostly my concern for the present is whether his snark and rudeness is crossing the boundary into being unpleasant OOCly — he really is supposed to be callous and desperately unlikeable ICly, but I don't want that to result in a negative experience OOCly if I can help it, so please let me know if I need to tone it down or change something!

Notes:

Overall: Was on hiatus for the past week, got back, shit happened and I've been on a bit of a slowatus because of it. RP drive is slowly returning but I'll be slow till then. Apologies and thanks for your patience.

Roxas: Feeling pretty good with him. Still haven't beaten 3D yet, though I'm getting close. Still in avoid-spoiler mode, so I apologize if it seems like I'm avoiding people. (Since I know talking to some castmates will result in conversations that should probably wait till I finish the game).
Small edit: I'm just going to put Roxas on hiatus until I finish the game. Ideally some time next week? I know I'm close. Just depends on how long these bosses take...

Barney: Still good with him. Going to get that movie night going soon and probably just need to watch a few episodes to get back in the groove.

My rp drive for this game has definitely returned, and so I'm still working on getting him more active/out there.

[shadowdive]

Lea | Kingdom Hearts | frisbees
Cheria | Tales of Graces f | fairycircle
Vanitas | Kingdom Hearts | shadowdive

Overall, I’m feeling a lot better with Lea’s activity (minus being gone on my trip the last weekish sob). If you have any concerns you want to bring up about it though, please tell me here! I’d like to know since I received crit on his activity before.

Luke fon Fabre → Tales of the Abyss → HMD
      → No issues that I can see, so let me know if I'm off-track!

Kiki → Kiki's Delivery Service → HMD
      → No change since last month. Needs to pick up activity!

Nero → Devil May Cry → HMD
      → Very iffy. If he doesn't make it through this month...

There's links to each of their HMDs if you'd like to offer more, and you can also feel free to drop critique on my modding either here. I've just moved back to Canada, so my tagging's been erratic due to jetlag. I'll be absent this weekend, but I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things afterwards.

Just Heather here!

Working slowly but surely on my activity, although Heather's absence lately has at least been for IC reasons, ahahahah...

Please let me know if you have any crit or if things have seemed off!

I---- really am surprised at myself for not announcing a slowatus this month. I really have been too inactive and I know it. But I do love what I have been up to!

Any advice or pointers are love.
