HMD | January 2014

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.

MOD/GAME HMD

(In before HEY MODS GET THE DAMN HMD POST UP ON TIME)

Re: MOD/GAME HMD

[snotfaced]

So I know this is really belated, and perhaps not completely on topic? But I noticed earlier that it had been a while since junkdates, and it turns out we never actually ended December's AC, officially. I know Junkdates are no longer a weekly add/remove thing, but when I (or others, but I figured I wouldn't put the blame on them!) haven't been keeping up with the ooc stuff on my friendlist, the added and dropped accounts really add up.

[these_balls]

Hey! We had actually noticed this ourselves, and that was definitely our mistake, but thank you for keeping track and giving us the heads-up! By now the point is sort of moot, but we'll do our best to keep a better eye on things in the future.

Questions, comments, feedback, and so on are all welcome and appreciated! Also, if there's something I can do better as a mod, please let me know here or on the Mod/Game HMD Thread, and I'd be happy to get a dialogue going with you about it!

[heartsplintered]

Okay so my opinion on the Dang Ropes isn't even all that valid because I've only read the first chapter of the Let's Play and seen like the first three episodes of the anime but holy shit I adore the hell out of your Kirigiri and that isn't just for she and Dirk's awkwardly amazing CR. Like you're brilliant with her and it always makes me smile. Keep rocking.

Also I need to actually thread with Carmen because Dirk probably watched that cartoon.

[doitrockapella]

YES YOU DO and Carmen is actually aware of Dirk because of some CR she had with the Homestucks and our previous Jake. So she already has a fond and positive opinion of him. :|b

And I'm so glad you like Kirigiri! In some ways she's the muse I've always been most hesitant about, so it's always nice to hear she's coming through well.

THE WORLD UNDERESTIMATES MY LOVE FOR HTTYD CASTS AND HOLY SHIT YOUR SNOTLOUT IS PERFECTION

like you should have heard the incoherent shrieking that happened in my apartment when you tagged me like jesus

[snotfaced]

Dang, that is really awesome to hear, thank you! Now I'm super extra sorry I'm being slow with tags lately.

[heartsplintered]

You're good, bro! I'm slow at getting back to them myself.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Cobra Commander | G.I. Joe | cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | HMD

Okay, an actual specific concern this time! Over the last couple months I ran a player plot where I tried to do something more than just "Hey guys in two weeks Cobra's going to attack this thing," so I was just wondering how well that went over with you all? Anything I could have done better? Did you like the regular format better? Thoughts?

[moveslikestrider]

Dave Strider | Homestuck | moveslikestrider

The last few months of the year I was hit heavily with several things at once. I'm not quite up to speed now, but getting there. I have an anon enabled hmd on this account and I'd prefer any crit to be backed with examples.

[heartsplintered]

fOLDED

folded. best brother. best folded brother.

more seriously though i love how easily our striders bounce off each other. it feels really natural and that's a hard thing for me to hit with dirk because i'm still not comfortable with him. so obviously that's just a testament to how strong your dave game is.

dave game too strong oh shit too ironic

when the fuck am i going to make some strider icons omfg get with the program self

[moveslikestrider]

finally getting back to this! I'm super glad it's easy play off of Dave. that's one thing I've been aiming for and happy it works out. It helps dirk is way easy to bounce off of and we have some great ooc communications going. Ty for playing Dave's brotherrrrr.

Jade Harley | Homestuck | gardentrainer

Jade's HMD post on her journal should be anon enabled, if that's what you prefer! Thanks.

[heartsplintered]

Dirk Strider ♡ Homestuck ♡ heartsplintered

Dirk is a new muse for me. I know I need to tag out a little more with him, but I'm also still getting back into the swing of DWRP after having been out of it for like six months. Any and all criticism is welcomed, but please have examples and reasons for your statements or they don't help me improve. :>;;

PS he has an HMD on his journal, too. I don't have anon enabled on it because lbr I'm not gonna bite you for telling me I need to fix a thing. I want to know. /)__(\

[lieutenantantichrist]

Carter Blake | Heavy Rain | lieutenantantichrist

There's also his private, anon-enabled HMD on his journal.

[tearsofademon]

Ryner Lute :: tearsofademon :: The Legend of the Legendary Heroes

He also has a character-specific HMD linked in his journal if you prefer.

My activity is still going to be something of a mess for a little while due to family/RL things crashing down on my head all at once lately; I'm working through it, however.

[ahogay]

Hajime Hinata | Super Dangan Ronpa 2 | ahogay | HMD

Sorry I haven't been very active so far; work usually leaves me too tired to do tags and when I get a day off I usually just spend it being lazy, hahaha... Hopefully my productivity will go up once I start school next week and don't have to work during the week anymore.

[pinnedbangs]

I only know of Final Fantasy through Kingdom Hearts and so I can only base anything I say on how we have threaded over the year(s). And, I gotta say, I love what I see.

I adore Cecil's character. He's definitely strong and he has a big heart, but he has all these wonderful emotions that are subtle and not so subtle! I enjoy hope you have portrayed that in his actions and unspoken words. I can't really pinpoint any critique since I don't know the canon, but I find him to be enjoyable nonetheless.

[paladinlost]

Aww, thanks! I have to admit that it's sometimes difficult to play a character whose canon mostly has him a) twenty years younger or b) too busy saving the world to enjoy daily life, so I'm glad you still find him fun to thread with!

[pinnedbangs]

Rin Okumura | Blue Exorcist | pinnedbangs | HMD

Any sort of critique is welcome. I personally feel that there is always room for improvement. Thank you!

I'll be dropping Dante and Luxord unfortunately, but if you want to leave me crit on them feel free to do so here if you'd like.

All of my characters have their own private, anon-enabled HMDs.
