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.

Questions, comments, feedback, and so on are all welcome and appreciated! Also, as usual, I would love to hear feedback about how I'm doing as a mod as well as a player, so if there's anything on that, please let me know here or on the Mod/Game HMD Thread!

I really like how distinct your characters sound! The only piece of crit I can offer is that Hiroshi overuses the phrase "I suppose" a bit too much. If it's a canon thing disregard that though.

Ahaha, thank you for pointing that out! You're right, looking back on it, he does have a tendency to slip into overuse of that particular quirk — I think it's partially because I'm working to make my characters' voices distinct that it's been happening. Yagyuu puts a lot of emphasis on the idea of being "a gentleman" and having a sort of overly polite and courteous affect, so I try to give him a kind of lofty and pretentious way of speaking as a result, which leads to a lot of "Mm, I suppose you could say that", etc, etc.

But I'll keep an eye on it in the future and try to find ways of toning it down or choosing different phrases every so often to get the same effect! And thanks again for letting me know, because I hadn't even noticed that myself.
