HOW'S MY DRIVING?

Comment with the names of the characters you play for feedback on your roleplaying. Other players will then reply to your comment telling you what they honestly think in a constructive manner. While both praise and critique is welcome, we'd like to remind you that this is a valuable tool for many of our members. We'd like to request that all comments remain constructive.

While the staff highly encourages everyone to participate, only comment if you are capable of giving and taking potentially harsh concrit in a mature, level-headed manner. Assume good faith at all times. Crit is meant to be resolved, not "won". Give mutual respect for each other's work and ideas. Aggressiveness creates unproductive stress and conflict. If you are emotionally compromised, you ~~are not fit to captain the Starship Enterprise~~ need to step back, take a break, and then return when you're ready.

Anonymous commenting is DISABLED. If you want to receive anonymous crit anyways, please take advantage of the Private HMD thread (see below).

We have provided a form to post with, if you would like to use it. Mentioning things like canon points, permanent losses and recent major events in their lives in Paradisa may help give people a better idea of the character's mindset and current actions.

Alternatively, you may choose to post a link to your private HMD thread on the character's journal and take comments there instead. The first thread of this post will be reserved for those people, and we will freeze those comments. People will be expected to follow the link to the character's individual HMD to give crit there.

Concerns | Am I approachable as a mun? Do you feel like I'm open to plot with, etc.? Do I follow through well or leave you hanging? How's my activity? Do I have a good variety of characters/plots/posts/CR/etc.? Do you have concerns about my behavior OOC?

This is for you and Almighty Tallest Red's player but I've been meaning to say for a while now that when I read your guys threads (especially with Zim WHO IS ALSO FANFUCKINGTASTIC) that their dialogue always feels to me like I'm watching the show again... in text format or something LOL. All of you got their voices down really well, it's hilarious!

That's all I've really got to say, lmao I am failing at this crit thing (crit what crit pfft)

AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM BOTH OF US ;___; (Since we... say everything together when it comes to the Tallest /hive mind) That means a bunch because we really want to do justice to the show and ZIM characters have such unique voices that it's great to hear we're making people laugh!!

All of your characters are very distinctive and true to character, and I can say that's been the way with all the characters you've had at para, and so that's awesome!

I feel we don't see a lot of Logan outside of the X-Men and I realise that's because of the type of personality he has; but it would be great to see him tagging about more, and so maybe look into a few posts which he could accidentally wander into. Like if someone's post is set in the lobby/kitchen, simply have him there at the same time to try and build more CR for an insocial character?

Awww, thank you!

As for Logan, it's interesting that you say that, because that is actually... the exact approach I use in tagging Logan at Para... :(

While he has a lot of CR with the X-Men, and those who regularly interact with / are interested in training with the X-Men, like you said, he's an anti-social character, so I recognized before apping him here that making friends over the journal would not happen easily with him. While there are, occasionally, posts that ping him enough to actually get him to speak up (generally when somebody mentions some kind of action), beyond that, 80-85% of my threads with him in the game are action-spam. It's the easiest way to make him CR with people he wouldn't normally get it with, and if you'd like I could gather up threads to illustrate! But, just for example, Logan developed significant CR with some people during the Slenderman plot (by participating in the deaging potion and going to save the kids), met a lot of people in the pirates plot (since that was largely action-spam, which was ideal for him!), is currently in a thread with Vivian at the Deathmatch on her post, became on Zim's mortal enemy list by tagging into a few of his action spam posts, met with the samurai who arrived on the lake, had an incredibly long talk with Molotov when they both ended up on the roof one day, and much much more, all via action-spam/tagging into open action posts!

I try not to OVER-do, and have him running into people every other day and starting a conversation, because I know that's not his way. Occasionally, I do short threads where he has interactions that involve just brushing people off that he runs into, but I hate tagging into posts just to have that happen, because I don't want the other mun to feel -teased- that I'm giving them Wolverine CR, only to have him want to high tail it out of there as fast as he can if they don't give him an excuse to stick around and chat. I like to keep his presence in the castle realistic, so that people get kind of surprised when they DO run into them, since he doesn't like sticking around the social settings where people gather for very long.

I've actually been surprised by how much CR he's managed to accumulate in the months I've had him here, but it is very under the radar, so I'm hoping it just hasn't been something that's been visible to someone not looking for it! Logan tends to stick to what's comfortable, but I do try to force him outside his comfort zone when the opportunity pops up.

I appreciate the advice though, because I could see how playing him could be really frustrating. However, I am working really hard to stay aware of how his personality affects his ability to relate to the social structure of the game, and trying to keep him in the loop in a way that fits with the character. I'll keep working on this though, and am glad you feel the same way about how to handle it!

I guess I just wasn't looking in the right places for Wolverine, which makes me sad because now I am FAIL STALKER ):
