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

You know what I think would be quite awesome? If a group of characters worked together and thwarted a mallynap attempt! I don't see a rule that says they can't, it could be really interesting if done right!

NGL, Wolfwood and Kotetsu would actually have JOBS in Luceti if that happened. They're the types to do whatever they can to stop the droids. PLOT WITH ME ANON, WE CAN MAKE THESE THINGS HAPPEN*.

Actually, Nami has been trying to figure out a way to defeat the droids as well. So if the characters step up and say OKAY, we hate droids, how can we one-up them?, that would be pretty cool. And feel productive as well.




*as long as mods are okay with this and it's not impossible, aha

You're tempting me to de-anon dammit!

[crisisrain]

I knew if I replied to this post I'd get outed.

But yes! That still sounds quite awesome indeed! It'd be worth double checking with the mods and seeing if it could go ahead once at least!

[wildkotetsu]

Totally. The back and forth victories and failures are what makes storylines so interesting, right? I'd love to have more happy!wins for my people. d(*_*)b

[crisisrain]

What about a scenario where the mallynaps occur for multiple people but only a few can be saved and the rest get taken? That presents both a victory and failure scenario. But it also keeps the fear of the droids in place without undermining them as something that can be stopped entirely.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

This is a good idea.

[crisisrain]

Ah! Thank you strange anon! <3

/me gusta

I approve of this.

[crisisrain]

Once the game calms down a bit, I'll run it by the mods and see if we can have a player-plot go up about it!

[asobouyo]

I will be there.

Lurking.

Waiting.

Watching.

[saltprince]

It would. I would love this. Other people (Daisy, Yuri, Robert, when I played them Mark, Nina, assorted others) have been studying it for a long time to. Make Droid Hunter Corps, it would be awesome.

[wildkotetsu]

Yeah! Even the smallest feeling of 'getting stuff done' might be what's needed! Or at least doing a little more plot-application to things like the drafts and mallynaps and droids and WHATEVER. We're all on the same page of 'things need to pick up', at least!

Re: Same anon

This could, perhaps, even be done without "destabilizing" the idea of kidnappings too much. I've noticed that some muns are way more inclined to mallynap their characters than others. What if an effect was instituted where the character was made naturally weaker to droids, or droids were sent specifically armed to capture a certain character, or heightened tracking or something to that effect? Something that would make some characters just naturally more likely to be caught than others.
