Activity Check Results / HMD
The results for the Activity Check are in. Please note that the following characters were either inactive, didn't post to the activity check, or failed to speak to a moderator about their activity. Also added were characters who have dropped recently, for your convenience.
Copy-paste the following here:
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

Hugo Fact | Ys Origin |
Actually, one thing I'd love some advice on that will be upcoming, if anyone has ideas on how I can get Leonhardt to not either become completely depressed and barely active or always stupidly reckless considering that Joshua got booted with the AC. I do want to keep him around, but he doesn't deal with loss well at all.
no subject
Since Leonhardt likes to observe people, would it help him to watch how other people deal with loss? Perhaps learn a few things from people who can better cope?
That's all I can think of...
no subject
That's where I'm running into issues. He's a stubborn git and there's pretty much no one left in Luceti who actually is aware of the fact that he'd rather die than have to lose someone else and that his reckless tendencies come from the fact that he wishes he was dead and would stay that way. Honestly, his next stunt will be to try and get an injury bad enough to leave him comatose for a long time. And I just can't come up with some IC way to get hm to want to live again for his own reasons and not for the sake of a person who might leave.
no subject
Perhaps this draft might open up some opportunities? I can imagine Leonhardt and Saleh having a discussion about protecting those they care about, and what it's like to lose them, etc. It could happen either after putting down Kain, or in the draft aftermath. Again, it's just a thought. I'm seeing a great opportunity for CR here, whether Leonhardt gets infected or not.
no subject
Do you think Saleh would be upfront and direct if he suspects Leonhardt may well want to die and outright ask him? It's tricky because he can deny being suicidal quite truthfully.
no subject
no subject
Definitely will be a unique challenge because of how very warped his personality became.
no subject
Another idea could be to talk to children more, since he likes protecting them? I know that won't solve the "living for his own reason" issue, but it's something to do while he's figuring that part out.
no subject
In blood knights and people not as affected by combat, it seems to be a bit of a common trope, as with fictional military characters. Sam Fisher of Splinter Cell, for instance, with the loss of her daughter, pleaded to be given a mission when Command discharged him because of his evident depression.
It wouldn't precisely close him off, since he'd need peopleto work with, but they'd notice something's not quite right with Leonhardt.
no subject
So pretty much, get him on missions with other folks and thread some stuff out so people can see he's being stupidly reckless when on missions and not acting like his normal self? Only drawback there is missions are normally handwaved and all. And he'd need to be forced to work with people because he prefers working alone.
no subject
Alternatively, he could also continue to research and call some friends to help him with it, and still have people notice he has a loose screw someplace because of losing Joshua. His closer CR beside him could be of help for that.
Fortunately for him, if we get the reserved Chiba, he's finally going to have a therapist!
