A number of you passed the activity check, but barely. (You know who you are.) Try to pick things up, as it's no fun to character-squat.

If there are any mistakes here, please let us know! Additionally, if your character was removed and you're still active, feel free to appeal to one of us about keeping your character. However, please remember next time to stay active and post to the Activity Check. Thank you!

And as always:

HMD

How's My Driving?

This is a crit post for both the community and game and for your characters. If you have something you'd like to see us improve upon with the game, PLEASE TELL US HERE! Anon commenting is on, but if anything gets really nasty there will be warnings and thread-freezing. This isn't required but everyone is encouraged to take advantage of the advice of your fellow players!

Just some pointers: no taking cheap shots, no dragging personal issues into things and for the love of all that is wise and great, please double check your replies and comments before posting them. Sometimes a change in phrasing can make all the difference between a helpful tone and a condescending one.

ALSO ALSO: We'd like to clarify that HMD means HMD- which means it's okay to have both good and bad crit. Some people have expressed concerns about posting good/bad crit when a character already has bad/good crit posted. We'd like to encourage you guys to do it anyway! You can drive well or badly, and even good drivers make mistakes. So give it a try \o

Re: Luceti / Luceti Mods

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, I apologize if I've gotten your comments mixed up! I was sure I'd seen you tag onto other characters multiple times, if I'm wrong then that's a fault on my behalf.

If someone has been considering bringing this up for a while, then I'm sure it's not just the two of us with this issue. If you can think of another suggestion to make things fair, so that more characters get the chance to take part in drafts instead of the same players over and over, then it would be a big help to hear. Idealy, it would be great if we could find something that all players can agree with.

Just a suggestion...

[cryptgirl.livejournal.com]

After reading everything, I would agree that it's not a good idea to thrust newer characters into a battle before they even get to settle into the village.

However, if they have castmates that have been in here for a while, they can reply directly to said castmates' comment in the recruitment post, to ensure that they get drafted together.

Again, it's just a suggestion, although I'm inclined to agree that this is one of those lose-lose situations...

Don't worry about it! Mix-ups like that happen. Like I said, I did do that once - before the second draft, for the reason mentioned in my previous comment - so you weren't completely off. It's just not something I've done multiple times. ♪

As I said in my reply to the above anon, it looks like the mods already found a way to deal with the issue themselves to some extent - with the current draft being bigger, and now the additional list of draftees (although these do come with a handicap on the first day, but since we get to choose what it is, I'd say this is pretty fair - in fact, I'd even go so far as to say it might just make things more fun for some characters!), the queue's getting cleared a lot faster; at the moment, the only characters who responded to the recruitment post and haven't listed are the ones on page 5, and quite a few characters on that page signed up after the current draft went up. This will probably go a long way toward making things more fair.

If I can think of another suggestion to improve things further, though, I'll make sure to bring it up! A-although I can't make any promises that I'll actually be able to think of something. I have a really bad habit of overthinking the cons for this sort of thing, a-ahem. I think what the mods did with that extra list of draftees should already help a lot, though. :|b
