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

I admit that I worry that I tl;dr in brackets more than I should, as I've been known to get carried away with meta and paint a separate picture from what has to do with the current scene, so I'm relieved to hear that I haven't been spamming you with annoying text walls, lol. Her CR with Draco's really surprised me - in a good way! I never expected her to mesh so well with him, but that CR is one of my favorites. It's so refreshing to be able to bounce her off someone who is, in a lot of ways, as awful as she is and doesn't judge those shallow parts of her person; especially since I nabbed her from canon before she really has the chance to develop past some of those less than admiral qualities, and Draco helps bring a lot of that out in her and helps her to feel like pre-vampire Caroline where she doesn't really, anymore.

...and there I go tl;dr'ing again. BASICALLY THANK YOU, this comment means a lot. ♥

Oh man. By all means please continue to spam me with tl;dr. I tend to do the same with Draco sometimes just because he's a character that won't really express why he reacts to things a certain way and I find it fascinating to explore the connections, and I find that with Caroline as well. Especially since I don't know her series that well. And right? They amaze me, and I'm excited to see how much more growth their CR can have. I think he sees a lot of himself and where he used to be in Caroline subconsciously which is half the reason he keeps going back to her so. Yes. I will be bothering you forever in the future.
