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.

Ang,

I'm glad you have a smartphone. I have noticed an improvement in your tags. But that improvement is maybe one or two tags a day with maybe one or two of your characters.

What I've noticed is that, during a plot, your activity is amazing. It spikes up and you are everywhere and fantastic and a joy to play off of. And then, within days of its end, you disappear. And you stay gone until the next plot.

We just came off a plot and I understand that you feel your AC is taking a turn for the better. Because it did. But after months of this, I'm not convinced that you can handle a fifth character. You might be, and that's your choice, but I'm going to be honest. I will be hesitant to go out of my way to tag that fifth character if you bring them in, because it has been very difficult to build CR with your chars the way I used to be able. They just aren't around enough. Even the ones with solid connections have been ignoring their CR.

Your strongest seem to be Mark and Five, but Five didn't even get around to talking to Jilly about things being okay between them, even after I expressed how worried it had made her and how I wanted them to talk so they'd get the chance to work it out. You dropped the thread.

I actually didn't want to present crit like this because you're my friend and I always preferred talking things out in IM with you. I always felt I could...but the way you've responded to others with the same crit makes me feel that I can't approach you directly...and that's worse than any AC issues, because I miss my friend.

You are a brilliant RPer. You are fantastic to talk to. You have always been (and will continue to be) one of my favorite people in Para. And I apologize, because this is unfair with me being so busy with the play since responding might be slow on my end. But as much as I don't want to hurt you, I'd be a crappy friend to sit aside and pretend I wasn't noticing this, too.
