EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

TRAINER TIPS:
→ 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 horrible. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

I'd like just to briefly second or... third? the general lack of mod presence. Mod hiatuses and a mod plurk as another anon suggested would be great for that, but therein lies another problem: What are we supposed to do while you guys are gone?

I realize the new mods are meant to account for this, but even so, they're recent whereas this problem has been ongoing.

RL should always come first. I will never imply to a mod or player otherwise. But, mods, when it is coming first, and so regularly too.... Well, I don't know. I don't have any suggestions for you, so maybe I shouldn't be commenting at all, but I want this to be said.

Will the changes mean all that month if in a month or two we're back to where we were before? Will we even get that far if you guys can't sit with this game for the time needed to? This is a tough job, I'm sure, are two more mods really enough?

I don't want to be coming back in the summer to that HMD to reiterate all of this. I want to believe you guys can do it, but I can't. The track record speaks for this.

Make us believe in you again. If you can't be there all the time, and you shouldn't have to be, make plans and notices instead of leaving us hanging for months at a time. Just be there even when you can't be. Please.
