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:

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

Either here or in my HMD post, It's cool. If you know how Spartans behave in general in the books, and/or have seen the episode Homecoming, I'd appreciate any sort of crit.

Subjects in which I'd like to see how am I doing are concerning Halo Legends' Homecoming, Halo canon (books, particularly), military knowledge (behavior, structure, methodology, and theory), entertainment value, character consistency and development, grammar and spelling, use of the language, pacing and posting, activity, mun manners, and anything and everything.

Own observations

[daisy023]

-Slow to tag. Barely passed AC because of it. Some of the ones right now have a week old. It's understandable when the only time to tag is at night, but when one arrives home without the mind to write, it would be better if I focused on a handful of ones that I could boomerang-tag, perhaps. Weekends are the better days to try this.

-Too spread out. Likewise, counting this game and some others. Will be necessary to drop Lynne from SRWUGA, given I haven't done anything with her, anyway. Focusing only on a handful of threads, only critical ones for the plot of Luceti and the ones of Daisy's development, may perhaps be the best course of action. That... and dropping some of the threads I have right now.

-Military material. I hate to admit this, but I didn't read the civil disturbance handbook as closely as I did with the others. There's still the platoon handbook, and a few others Daisy might need.

-Canon review. Homecoming is easy to canon review for, but it also involves content from the books. Even with her desire for a civilian life, she sometimes acts too much like a civilian when meeting people. While John used to be inept when he first met Cortana, he still remained solid against her teasing. Currently on the Fall of Reach, but indirectly involves Ghosts of Onyx and First Strike, as well.

Halo 4, of course, would be some interesting canon review. Kind of shame won't come out until November 6. Likewise, if the ViDocs are speaking the truth, it could show a little more on what a Spartan is like out of his element.

-Need to expand CR. While she's a little more established within her circles, tagging out two or so new characters wouldn't hurt. I think I've stuck with only the people Daisy knows so far.
