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.

→ MOD/GAME HMD

NOTE: we've seen and are discussing all the issues brought up on the HMD! Thanks for your input, guys. We won't be commenting until we have some kind of concrete solution lined up, just letting you know!

Oh, that's a good idea! Then they could unscreen them all after they've finished judging...

The only downside to that would be that the Coordinators wouldn't get to talk shop during the contest itself if they were there in person, but at the same time they should be focusing on competing, not mingling...

Perhaps if it was a "Contest Entry" post made a few days in advance, then once the winners are decided, there's a second proper log announcing them, where players can repost their performances for everyone to see properly, so the coordinators can chat and congratulate each other and be impressed and the like...? Hm! That could definitely work, it'd just need some solidifying as to how it would get posted.
