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

NO YOU!

[all7seas]

I love you, Aly. I ENJOY PLAYING WITH YOU SO you put me to shame so often with out well-thought-out and careful your RP style is. Sometimes I feel like I throw these slop-tags at you and you reformulate them back at me into lovely works of writing and plotting and characterization.

Also OOC you are tre fantastique and I am grateful and blessed to have you as a friend. WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM??????????

[herotypical]

in jail for indecent public exposure. that's where.

no no no. what i really want to say is it's pretty hilarious because at least more than half the time, it's ME who feels as though YOU put me to shame with your well-thought-out rp and sometimes it's ME who feels like I'M throwing out these slop-tags and YOU do something amazing with the jammy breadcrumbs i've spread all willy-nilly.

but i figure if we're both feeling like that, something must be working. right? right???

[all7seas]

Yes, one day this will happen, all the jailing for the inadvertent nudity.

I HOPE IT IS WORKING I think it is. This is the longest I have been in a game ever and I chalk it up to the fact that you and MANY OTHERS are so quality. It's a really high-functioning playerbase like that. Is highfunctioning the word I wanted? I D E K. I want a pretzel.

[herotypical]

oh and also i envy your ability to actually type words in an order that makes sense and isn't riddled with the worst typos ever.

[all7seas]

STOP IT YOUR WORD ORDER IS JUST FINE. SOMETIMES A LITTLE FRENCH BUT FINE. LOVE IT.

Hey, we haven't threaded, and this is craaaazy but -- okay no I'll stop.

I've been reading some of Buffy's stuff as I come across it and you write her really well. Both her dialogue and just the whole tone of her character are really spot-on. I've been a fan of Buffy for a long time so it's been great to read stuff from you and the rest of your cast. I don't have any crit, so just keep being awesome I guess. :D

[herotypical]

oh. thank you so much! it's always tough to keep a character on track after they've been rattling around a game for as long as buffy has. but it's nice to be reassured that old-time fans still see that slayer spark buried amongst all the development.

i look forward to threading with you in the future!

[jamesbarnes]

It definitely seems like a tough balance, but I think you handle it well from what I've seen.

Right back atcha!
