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

I don't know if this is intentional on your part or if I'm just reading into it, but on the offchance it is intentional I really wanted to applaud you for it. With playing Howard (particularly in his threads with Tony, particularly the one where you discuss Stark Industries) I feel you really captured the feel of the 1940s in relation to conflict and war and weapons and stuff. There's a certain "feel" that an era before the height of the Cold War/Vietnam has within it's not quite as inherently "bad" as it is today (okay, it's still bad, but I hope you know what I mean) and the passive acceptance which I've seen you weave into Howard's perspective I really like.

It is actually intentional on my part, because I feel that Howard has less of a moral compass than Tony does and would be more focused on progress than the damages of that progress. Particularly because he's specifically mentioned to be a weapons manufacturer in the movie, it means he would be involved in the arms race that when on throughout the war (and other sources in MCU say he was part of the Manhattan Project too). While Tony was more horrified at realizing his weapons were being used by terrorists, Howard would see it as a natural consequence of weapons existing. I wasn't sure how it was coming across, so I'm glad to hear that it's noticeable!
