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.

Not the same anon you replied to, but...personally I think this is going to be Lea all over again. You bite off more than you can chew, app too many characters who don't work out for whatever reason, and then flake out until you can't pass AC and have to drop them. This is really, in my perspective, history repeating itself. I'm not trying to be cruel here and I sincerely apologize if this comes off as mean in any way, but I think you need to take a step back and really think about why you're apping so many characters who just...don't last.

I mean, you're clearly very capable at RP; Vanitas has lasted so long under your control and he's got the CR to prove it. Maybe it really is just you biting off more than you can chew, or the setting, or something else entirely. I don't know. I just think you really need to think before apping someone else who'll probably end the same way as Nier and Lea.

Not cruel at all, you're making a good observation! I do want to know who else I've applied for and dropped the ball on to the point of struggling to make AC that this is coming up now though? I know I had a period of all that until I was down to just Vanitas for a while, then I applied for Cheria and she's stuck around; the same for Jane?

I will definitely take this into consideration though, because I do agree that I don't want it to end that way for Kairi, a character who has come and gone enough times that her canon buddies are still reeling and all. It isn't really fair for the players that their characters have to go through it often enough.

I do appreciate the constructive criticism, mostly because I haven't had any in a long time for whatever reason. Thank you for taking the time to let me know these concerns.
