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.

Regarding the upcoming plot, and plots in general, does that mean that once information becomes available, it will be added to the calendar?

I tend to agree with the OP at least on that, though I do think they're jumping the gun on all of this. But I'm... really not sure what the point of it is if you're not going to put the information and lengths on there? What is the point of it, exactly, except a new looking version of the weather posts then?

^ Different anon than OP by the way, just my two cents.

For the calendar, it's just our first time using it! We just put the one date on there to let people know something's coming, but we're going to make sure the calendar's reflect the upcoming days as everything is planned and announced. We're still messing with the system we plan on using with it, but we're going to mark more.

So in other words it could be useless looking at it from a monthly perspective if you plan on announcing something during the month and then adding it to the calendar?

Seems counter-productive to me.

I never said that, anon. Please stop assuming things like that. It's going to be updated more as we have more concrete dates to show.

That is... exactly what you said. You said you're going to mark the calendar as you announce things, implying it will be done instead of in advance.

If your event isn't concrete by now, why are you already talking about it? You should have had all of that done long before you announced it, which you did just by putting it on the calendar. I know the lack of foresight on you mods' part has been brought up before, so I'll just say I'm bringing it up again and leave it at that.

It's because we're still planning the proper days, and then the calendar will reflect it and we'll have the details out for everyone.
