HMD Meme #4

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

damned HMD Meme

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW RULES BEFORE POSTING.

1. POSTING TO THIS MEME IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. This means that if someone chooses not to participate, you must respect that decision and leave their characters out of any crit you post. Conversely, if you do choose to post your character(s) to the meme, you must accept all constructive input you receive. You do not have to agree with everyone's crit; however, any replies you post are expected to be courteous and respectful.

2. NO UNCONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS. Regardless of the kind of input you're giving, be it reinforcement of something positive or calling attention to something questionable, you must ALWAYS give concrete reasons for why you feel the way you do. "Because," "due to," and "since" are examples of the kind of vocabulary you should use in your feedback. You are also, of course, expected to be courteous and respectful toward your fellow players.

3. PROHIBITED CONTENT IN COMMENTS:

• Unconstructive input, be it negative or positive
• Breaking any rules set by the original input request
• Malicious or sarcastic wording/emoting
• Threats or demands
• Falsification of facts
• Spamming

The above apply both to input givers and input receivers. Any comments containing the above will be subject to being deleted, frozen, or screened, and their posters will be subject to penalties.

IF YOU SEE ANY COMMENTS CONTAINING ANY OF THE ABOVE ISSUES, please do not reply to them and instead notify one of the Head Mods immediately.

4. IP LOGGING IS TURNED ON. However, Court and I are the only people who will be able to see the IPs, and we will absolutely not share this information with anyone. The logging will only be used to identify rule-breakers, should the need arise.

5. PLEASE USE THE TEMPLATE BELOW FOR YOUR INPUT REQUEST. If you would like to specify certain guidelines, explain yourself, or ask for focus on a particular aspect of your playing, feel free to do so in the "other" section. Remember: if you're uncomfortable with receiving input in a public setting or if you'd like to give Anons the option of giving you input without their IP being logged, you are perfectly welcome to specify your preferences and link people to your character's personal HMD.

GAME THREAD

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

This is a thread for crit about the game itself! Suggestions, ideas, and so forth can go here, but the same rules that apply for player crit apply here. Do not post anything unconstructive or malicious. Anonymous comments are allowed.

App turnaround times have been extremely variable, and with the new system there's no obvious feedback on what's up with an app. I realize the mods have lives, but perhaps some modifications are in order to make sure people get responses quickly and no one feels lost in the cracks.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Name/Handle: Court
Character(s) Played: Sora (scintillatingly), Guy Cecil (razing_phoenix), Peter Petrelli (human_sponge), Harvey Dent/Two-Face (unheroed), Zack Fair (zack_fair), Castiel (poorexample)
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: I am also open to crit for Dr. Wilson, Marc, and any random NPCs. Also, all of my characters have HMDs in their journals if you'd prefer to reply there.

[javits]

Name/Handle: Javits
Character(s) Played: The Doctor (timedork), Prussia (hat_einen_vogel), Orihara Izaya (predictator), Firo Prochainezo (immortale)
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: All my characters have HMDs in their journals, if you'd prefer.

[shotshooter.livejournal.com]

I've only just finished season 2 of Doctor Who, but I think your voice for the Doctor is spot on. I can always hear David Tennant's little phrases when you write him and when you have to free style it, your dialogue always sounds like something he would say. I always enjoy reading his threads! o/

Name/Handle: Sarah/valentinite
Character(s) Played: Sangamon Taylor (toxicspiderman), Taura (ninelivesonce), Lana Skye (fourstonewalls), Rose Lalonde (lovecrafty), Rover (byhookorby)
Anon input allowed?: Y

Okau, I haven't played with a lot of your characters yet, but I really enjoy Taura's threads a lot. She is very self-sufficient, strong, tough, etc. which I think can sometimes be hard to juxtapose with any kind of lighthearted introspection. However, you always make her more than just tough and strong. She is always funny or she can sometimes be soft.

You make her very three-dimensional and it makes it a lot of fun to read o7!

[lady-angelina.livejournal.com]

Name/Handle: Angelina (lady_angelina)
Character(s) Played: Mike Meekins (dork_at_duty)
Anon input allowed?: Yes
Other: He's only been in the game a short time, but how am I doing with him so far? Am I playing him too obnoxiously, and if so, what needs to be worked on in that camp? I accept all crit on anything. He also has an anon-enabled, IP-logging-disabled HMD post at the top of his journal with all comments screened, if you're more comfortable with that.

Also, since I'll be briefly reprising Manfred von Karma's (perfectrecord) role as a visitor, I'll happily accept crit on how I played him at Damned in the past, too, and he also has an HMD post in his journal.)

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

We have got to get Carter and Meekins together. I love your Meekins, but Badd's just going to wind up continually insulting him and then locking him in a broom cupboard for his own safety. And he deservse better.

Character(s) Played: Asuka Langley Soryu (lookitmemama), Tifa Lockhart (36_24_35), Son Goku (boketa), Ippo makunouchi (rolling_go)

Other: If you prefer critting privately, there's a screened post here! Feel free to use it for either of my characters.

[psyches]

Name/Handle: Psyche
Character(s) Played: Nigredo (falseblack), Tear Grants (melodists)
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: Both characters have IP-logging off, anon-friendly HMD posts in their journals. Also, feel free to critique my NPC mod work as well as General Aguilar/intercom posts. I am really open to any comments as long as it relates to my participation in damned.

Character(s) Played: Indiana Jones (its_the_mileage), Morgan LeFlay (fangirlfatale)
Anon input allowed?: Y

[gargantuanlaugh.livejournal.com]

Name/Handle: Cager
Character(s) Played: Aigis (no_dont_go), Damon Gant (gargantuanlaugh), Ilia Silvestri (avengingfists)
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: "Sorry for the recent fail. Replies to threads will be made ASAP." Also, I am posting Cager's HMD for her since her net is not working.

[lady-angelina.livejournal.com]

To Cager: No worries, bb! <3 Believe me, I've been in that spot myself, so I undertstand! And... if it would help, we can backthread the pantry raid, or we can leave it where it is now and redo it at another time. It's all up to you and I'm good with either. :3

That all said, your Gant has been a joy to thread with again. <3 His reactions to Meekins, barely tolerant yet still holding his patience for the sake of a potential patsy, is spot-on, IMHO. Especially how he responded to Meekins' blurting out that he knows he's a murderer. X3 He's got the upper hand, yes indeed. >:3

[spandexorgtfo.livejournal.com]

Name/Handle: Tiki
Character(s) Played: Kratos Aurion (spandexorgtfo), Niikura Shou (oneman_onekill)
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: All of my characters have HMD posts on their journals as well. Also, I know he hasn't done anything yet, but if you have any feedback regarding Dr. Layton (what you want to see, etc.), feel free to give me that as well.

[eternity_dreams]

Name/Handle: Aison
Character(s) Played: Renamon (yin_yang_fox), Albedo (purpletaint), Ayanami Rei (hasnomeaning). (Haven't even started with Mikado so the kid gets left out.)
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: If you want an IP-off, anon-on HMD, Rei has one in her journal which you can comment for any of mine (one day I'll get around to adding for the others). Like others have said, if you want to crit my NPC stuff as well that would be helpful.

In general, if you don't know the canons, still feel free to crit on voice or writing or anything, really.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't really speak to his canon characterization, but I find Albedo very hard to thread with even when my character is trying to be open with him and get a conversation going. It's not something completely quantifiable, but it's very frustrating to not know how to stay IC and yet keep the conversation from ending and having my character sink into sulking silence.

[vstheworld]

Name/Handle: Eryn
Character(s) Played: Scott Pilgrim (vsyourface), Rapunzel (hairraising), Utena Tenjou (roseoverture), Dr. Peter Venkman (whoyougoncall) [Doctor NPC], Sam (burngoddamnyou) [NS-Only NPC]
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: Sorry for recent patches of slowness! I have been unexpectedly busy a lot lately. Also, would especially appreciate any updates on how I'm doing with voice for Rapunzel, as I haven't really gotten any detailed crit on her yet.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Name/Handle: Seiber
Character(s) Played: Tyrell Badd(tasteoftruth), Andrew Carter (stlg13bomber)
Anon input allowed?: Y

[lady-angelina.livejournal.com]

I think I said this before to you, but your Badd is EXCELLENT. Your version of him feels like he was lifted right out of AAI, from his voice to his actions and gestures. He's appropriately gruff and gritty and no-nonsense, without being erring too far in that direction. His motivations and feelings come through very strong through his prose and dialogue. Plus, his non-canonmate interactions are wonderful... the threads with Javert and Niikura coming to mind as great examples.

So... nothing I can think of that needs to be improved on, but a great deal that you're doin' rite'. <3

[witchoftruth]

Name/Handle: Linnet
Character(s) Played: Erika Furudo (witchdetective)

Name/Handle: Claire
Character(s) Played: Depth Charge (scalyfishman), Kibitoshin (bitpartgod), Inspector Lunge (herr_inspektor)
Anon input allowed?: Y

[savagesolitude.livejournal.com]

Name/Handle: Kabby
Character(s) Played: Peter Parker (mustbethesuit), Claire Littleton (savagesolitude)
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: There are screened HMDs on their journals as well, if that feels more comfortable for you guys! Aside from that, um...I am having issues with Claire's voice, so anything you guys have on that front would be wonderful.

[stlg13bomber.livejournal.com]

I can't speak to her characterization, but just as a character in the game I'm really liking Claire. I can see where she's started to have character development and she seems to have good interaction with other characters.

Also, Peter. What do I even need to say there?
