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.

Name/Handle:
Character(s) Played: Character Name (char_username), Character Name (char_username)
Anon input allowed?: Y/N
Other: (optional)

<b>Name/Handle:</b> <b>Character(s) Played:</b> Character Name (<lj site="livejournal.com" user="char_username">), Character Name (<lj site="livejournal.com" user="char_username">) <b>Anon input allowed?:</b> Y/N <b>Other:</b> (optional)

---

We're fairly certain no significant problems will arise, but if they do, please send me a private message. I will be signed in as "that damn showy" on AIM when I get from home as well (in about five hours). If you have any questions, concerns, or reports about the meme, please do not hesitate to bring them to me.

Thank you!

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.

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.

Number one, cool, thank you for taking the time to reply!

I actually haven't heard that before, but it'd be something I'd look into shifting. Somedays he is just honestly difficult, especially if something with his canonmates just went on, but otherwise I'd be open to trying things. I know you said it isn't quantifiable, but do you have any suggestions how to rectify this in the future? As I hadn't noticed that, and my apologies for that, I'm unsure how to adjust in general.
