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.

I've been a bit disconnected from the game for a while now, but I hope to get back into the groove of things. I'd love any comments and critique you have to offer.

[arrogantalloy]

My only real crit for you is tagging speed. But we spoke about that yesterday so I don't really need to rehash that. But I do hope the suggestion takes off.

because I do love how you play Steve and would love to see more of you.

Admittedly I've been slow with responses from Saber's end of things (it is always poor Saber), but I'm reading through the manga for a better idea of how Saber who has a few traits prominent in Fate route would act in this environment (the manga for those unaware is a combination of ubw/fate) so I hope that helps with her.

As a note, I'm currently on hiatus due to my laptop being in the repair shop. Please excuse my non-existence for the next few weeks, as I'm not sure if or when my laptop is coming back home. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I like playing with Dave, but there's some things I'd like to see more of. In my threads with him he's come across as very straightforward and serious. I'd like to see you throw in more things like the goofy digressions and wordplay that you see with a lot of his pesterlogs in the comic. Not overkill or anything, he's still a guy with stuff to get done, just I'd say play around more and have some fun with it.

Caveat: I'm only going by a few threads and it's been ages since I read much Homestuck, so I could be full of it.

[moveslikestrider]

Thank you for the crit. In recent canon he's had a lot of serious moments lately, but some goofy shit still remains. I'll be sure to mix it up and strike a better balance with it.

[(Anonymous)]

Awesome! I totally don't want to bum you out or anything, I love the guy.

[moveslikestrider]

Nah. No bumming here. Like I said, his updated point has been a work in progress on balancing properly. So I've been aware of the issue but away this month. If you want an few examples of what I have been doing in that field, check his stuff with John. It's awesome to hear some feedback and hopefully by next month I'll made some pretty good progress o7 Anyway before I accidentally ramble here, thanks for taking the time to talk to me about this!

Norman Jayden {Heavy Rain} personal hmd

[(Anonymous)]

Norman is great, but I've found it very hard to get meaningful CR with him. Threads always get dropped before they can build up momentum or go much of anywhere. It's frustrating, because I really want to play with you more.

[triptoprofiling]

Damn, I'm really sorry about that. This is definitely a low-point for me in terms of being on top of threads. I most definitely want to get back to that point of building hella fun threads so I'm trying to build a system where I don't end up dropping threads left and right. It's a slow process but (hopefully) I think I'm getting there again.

Definitely hit me up via PM; I'd love to talk to you more about it and see what we can hash out together. And thanks so much for bringing this to my attention!

[(Anonymous)]

That makes me happy to hear! You seem like you've gotten a second wind after re-apping. I'll totally be tagging you in the future.

[triptoprofiling]

Thanks you! Wish me luck these next coming months. I look forward to tagging with you soon.
