HMD | October 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 is OFF.
→ 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.

MOD/GAME HMD

[these_balls]

We've got a bit of a line-up of events coming: a Halloween swarm and a Tournament, plus we're going to try to slot in a test drive meme sometime between the next app rounds if we can!

Let us know how you feel!

[explosivecombat]

Hey, you said if we think you're doing wonderfully we can let you know - just wanted to say that these events are looking really good and I'm excited to see how they play out, even the ones I may not participate in; I'm really happy that there are so many things to do and look at now, and a lot of interesting things to stalk in terms of mod-driven events and whatnot. I was discussing the game earlier with a couple of friends who have been in as long (or longer) than I have, and we all agreed that things have really improved since the time that we joined.

I appreciate the added mod presence and involvement, and when it comes to changes that have effected me personally, I am so happy with the increased interest in Team Rocket and giving us things to do, even if it's just vaguely outlined things like mission board assignments, and I'm really pleased that you guys let us get creative with how we want our guys to take personal initiative within the mod plots.

You guys have shown so much improvement over the last year; I just wanted to let you know that it's been noticed, and it's definitely appreciated.

My tagging drive has been really low lately, so I apologize for the sporadic tagging.

John Egbert | Homestuck | ghostytrainer

I have an anon-enabled, screened HMD post on his journal over here if you'd rather do that.

Vanitas | shadowdive | private hmd
Cheria | fairycircle | private hmd

I've been half active, half really not active for most of the month and I apologize for it! Sorry guys, I've been busy with some RL stuff, and when I wasn't doing that, I was playing Pokemon Black 2 herp. AT LEAST IT WAS POKEMON?!

[beforethedarkness]

Hey, Black 2 rules. :|b I know I'm already an Unova Champion.

But uh, Vanitas is funny as hell and I love reading his threads, even if I'm not involved in all of them. I enjoy threading with him (especially considering the subject matter) and hope that these two run into each other again some time. There really isn't anything I can say towards changing the performance, only that I enjoy what you have been doing with him.

[brodakota]

/wrong journal but whatever

Roxas/seasaltkeys
Barney Stinson/usedsuitup

My tagging drive was a bit low this month, so hoping to fix that. Barney will be getting a post at the end of this week. Uh, yeah.

[beforethedarkness]

POKÉMON IS SERIOUS BUSINESS FOR THESE TWO, RIGHT?

I almost hear Roxas's voice in his posts/tags, so I'd say that's a good sign. Keep it up. =) Sorry that this input isn't particularly helpful (especially since I can't say anything about Barney), but it's how I feel about it.

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

I just have to say that threading with Cobra in the log was great and I hope to be able to do it again at some point if possible. You write clearly and make it easy to respond to everyone's actions. I never felt like I was left in a place where there was only one way I could respond to your tags. Also Cobra's just hilarious to watch, so there's that too. ^^

Captain Ash | Mobile Suit Gundam AGE | captainash

Comments on the way I've been playing Ash would be particularly appreciated, since he's a new voice and all.

[isthedeadcat]

I think I already said this a hundred times here and there, but your Cecil is just so glorious that I feel the need to come here and say it again.

Please keep up the awesome job, and thanks for dealing with my horribly slow tagging speeds ♥

[princelyspirit]

Utena Tenjou | Revolutionary Girl Utena | princelyspirit | private HMD

My activity took a nosedive this summer, but I've been trying to pick it up a bit. Any suggestions or other comments would be great.

[eagletalons]

Hope Estheim (eagletalons)

I've been thinking of a slight canon review for FFXIII-2, like watching all the cutscenes, but any help on playing him would be appreciated.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Spencer Reid | Criminal Minds | leftinbasketforfbi | Personal HMD

I don't bite, honestly. Reid is notorious for being difficult to RP well, so any criticism, comments, or compliments are all appreciated.

[foolishwren]

I'm always a little embarrassed to leave non-helpful crit on an HMD meme, but as someone who's always been fond of watching Reid's awkward adventures on TV, you are playing him BEAUTIFULLY. I've been eating up each and every thread between him and the Peaks gang and just loving it.

Characters like Reid are really tough to write, but man you are just doing SO WELL.

KEEP ON DOIN' WHATCHA DOIN'.

He's also got a character-specific HMD linked in his journal if you prefer.

Riku | Kingdom Hearts | islandshore

He also has a private HMD!

I know I've been posting a lot lately. I doubt I'll have anything new up for at least a few weeks, so at least there's that. :|a

[beforethedarkness]

I can't say a whole lot about characterization, but it is a lot of fun to thread with you when the thread really gets going. =) I find that they do end up at a standstill sometimes, though I feel that's mostly my fault as I don't give you too much to work with a lot of the time.

Overall, I think you play well, I think you should keep going as you have been, and I would like to thread with you more in the future.

Feedback of any kind - positive, negative, neutral - is welcome. Journal HMD is here as well if you don't feel comfortable putting your input up here.

I've picked up my drive a bit though my tagging is still a little slow. I'm still trying to work things out between work and RP time and downtime.

There is an anon HMD on her journal if you'd prefer that.

[foolishwren]

Hi there! Just Heather here.

My activity's really taken a blow lately thanks to my job IRL, so I apologize to any CR that might have been affected by that! :(

I'm hoping to bring that back up as much as possible, although obviously if anyone's noticed anything off about my tags lately, please let me know!

Apollo | Genesis of Aquarion OVA | whateveryoueatliveitspart

I know most people here are canonblind, so if you want to critique my writing style or anything else instead, go ahead.

[bewilding]

just judith here! she has a private hmd on her journal if you'd rather use that.

she's on and off voice wise, so I'd really love to hear and appreciate any concrit thrown my way if anyone has anything to say!

[punchandkiss]

Hi! Dalrint here with just Astrid. I was burned out for a bit but Astrid is back and kicking! Hit me with whatever you got!

[comeatmibro]

just Miyuki! I know I've been tagging slowly this month, and I'm sorry! if there's anything else you'd like to bring up, feel free — there's a private HMD on her journal, too. ♥

I know my tagging speed has slowed down recently, sometimes with days between tags, and I do apologize for that. My schedule's been up-ended recently and I'm still sorting out how to best budget my time. Once I've got it figured out I should be back to normal.

That noted, I will say that I'm always eager to hear any feedback!
