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.

There needs to be more CR between Tony and Blake. Because the few times they're spoken I've utterly loved it!

[mayushiii]

Just Mayuri here!

Any crit is appreciated and will be taken into consideration! First time I have ever played here so there's bound to be mistakes!

[arrogantalloy]

Admittedly, utterly canon blind.

But I'm finding Mayuri to be very cheerful and curiously exuberant. I'm loving her tags.

I love your Steve he's totally fun.

As if I haven't made that abundantly clear before. And I love that you've given him a good amount of depth, and make him a 'good guy' as opposed to a 1940's stereotype.

If I have to give a crit, it would be your tag turn around. But that could just be because you're now in at least three games that I know of. So just now that you're awesome, and tag your heart out!

[arrogantalloy]

A total buttface.

At least in that affectionate way.

I'm utterly blind to FF, it's just never managed to be my thing. That being said, I enjoy Tony's interactions with Hope so far. They're going to end up getting along really well once Tony stops being a tool and becomes comfortable around him. Or Hopes not going to be able to stand Tony. Which would be sad.

I'm loving it all!

I've got a couple of things I'd like to ask for help for specifically. The first being I've been in game for two years now and just about seen everything that could be done in-game. Does anyone have suggestions I can take to making posts that aren't repetitive, but open to new cr? I'll admit I have trouble with slice of life games, so I've been mostly tagging out instead of focusing on my own posts, so I'd like to curb this bad habit now that I've got three characters who people may be interested in pursuing cr with.

The other thing is I've never had a character in a travel group for as long as I have with Sakura, so advice on being able to keep up better with that would be great. Seeing as most of my experience in Route has been keeping a single character grounded (which has been boring, I'll admit), I feel pretty overwhelmed when it comes to this part of the game.

Thanks in advance if you can provide any insight on those two areas or any other crit.

Hey! Having only been in the game a couple months myself, I can't really comment on posts themselves, but I can try to help out some with the travel party situation? Because this is the first time I've ever been involved with a cast this large (especially that tends to stick together in this way), so if it's something we can all iron out, that'd be great.

But what I've been doing so far is not being afraid to just make a plurk and "yo where the hell are we?" if I'm starting to get confused or forget. One of the great things about this massive cast is that there's usually someone online to answer. And if we're all confused then that's definitely something that's got to be addressed!

Another thing I've done is find IC reasons for Tenten to occasionally split off from the group just to give myself a mental break -- maybe find a motivation for Sakura to spend some time with only a few members, or some other CR in the game? I had Ten go on a badge-batting spree, and the travel party was moving too slow for her, and it made sense for her to strike out on her own because she's curious about the other cities and wants to get all the badges so she can fight Sasuke. I can't speak for Sakura myself, but that's an option you might want to think about, too!

That's what I've been doing to try to keep up with the travel party, so that's about all the advice I can offer. No idea if it's of any use to you, but thought I'd mention it. tl;dr communication is key, and giving yourself a mental break to keep from being overwhelmed is also helpful. o/
