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 wanted to tell you that I really, really enjoy playing with your Yukio. He's pretty much what I imagined him to be in the series and you do wonderful job in bringing different sides to him. I also like that fact that he and Ed get along pretty well, haha~

But no, seriously. Yukio is one of my favorites in AoEx and I think you do him justice.

[diehardreaper]

When I first saw this comment, my mom asked me why I suddenly squeaked.

But seriously, thank you so much for saying that. It's the first time I've had him in a game. Also, I love his and Ed's CR, I really do. I enjoy our threads. Also, I really should get to watching the rest of FMA: Brotherhood maybe.

Riku | Kingdom Hearts | islandshore

Tags are still kinda sporadic and for that I apologize. With that out of the way, I'm open to feedback, and if you don't feel comfortable here, I do have a private HMD on his journal.

One thing I'm interested in is whether or not I've fixed probably the biggest problem I've had: the whole powergaming angle. I'm well aware that this was a big issue, between getting over invested, constantly making threads revolve around Riku's team, never seeming to accept consequences. All of this came up well over a year ago and I've really tried to address it. I just don't know if it's made a difference.

If there's still a problem, please don't hesitate to give suggestions. I find that's the best way for me to really put your feedback to good use. I'm also curious if anyone has suggestions for making the PGC more accessible/functional. Like I said on the CR meme, I'd like it to be one of those things that multiple players can weigh into and contribute to. I just don't know the best way to go about it. Monthly OOC posts? A PGC-specific comm?

[rarestcandy]

Nah dude I think you do a good job of having Riku be ambitious enough while not sinking into the power train, which is a tough line to walk with a character like him so YEAHHH go you go you

I just woke up which is why the stupid but srsly

[islandshore]

Man, you have no idea how relieved I am to hear that. So thanks! :D It definitely is a tough act to balance, especially for someone who's been around as long as he is.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, just the other day I was thinking of you as somebody who's done a good job at taking crit to heart and fixing the issue. Just wanted to say I think you've done really well at handling it, and I enjoy threading with Riku a lot.

[islandshore]

Thanks a bunch, anon! It really pleases me to hear that I've done well, especially since the problems were so big in the first place. I'll certainly do my best to continue what I'm doing. :D Here's to future threads.
