Sorry this is late, guys - mod shortage and mind slippage, wellp.

EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

Trainer Tip: play nice and keep it civil.


things to keep in mind:
→ 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 horribly. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

Ack--I'm sorry. Should have waited till I got more sleep in me to ask--it was really just a lack of understanding as to why there hadn't been a post warning others of the plot that was about to go down so they'd have time to plan their own character's response instead of scrambling, that's all. I didn't know the exact reasons, so...yeah. confusion was get.

Though what's you've said already is explanation enough, I promise. Cause I did send you a PM asking for a timeline update about a week before Ryuunosuke's post but got nothing, so...yeah that makes a lot of sense. DW must have been holding notif's hostage anyway. Sorry bout that!

Hey, no worries! I'll definitely try to get more in the practice of establishing more OOC contact in the future, as it is a good thing to keep in mind; as I said, it's something that we've been godmoded on pretty hard in the past, but the issue back then shouldn't continue to happen at this point, so we'll try to get a bit more in contact with the playerbase as a whole if something large is about to go down. Thanks for poking me for that; I do agree that it would be much easier to run things if everyone has more communication open, it's something I've been discussing with Redd as well because our own communication has been on the...interesting side in the past.

November was just a bad month communication-wise on my side, though, and I do want to apologize to you for that. I'll see what I can do about keeping it more open, and checking if I should re-send a PM if I don't get a response to it instead of assuming all's good on the technological front - that was a mistake on my part, and again, sorry about that.
