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 have to say, you've really impressed me, for several reasons. First, I can think of very few characters who have integrated themselves so thoroughly in such a short period of time in the two years I've been a part of Luceti. It can be hard to find your footing sometimes--hell, it took me something like half a year--especially when you play a villain character. So kudos to you for that!

I also am impressed by and appreciate the amount of thought you're putting into Loki's character here; your responses above are a good example of that and are also reassuring concerning a couple of small questions I had about the direction of his character. To be honest, while I was excited when I saw Loki's name turn up last cycle, there was also a part of me that was kind of leery (I spend a lot of time on tumblr--no further explanation needed, I trust :P). But you've more than set my fears to rest, particularly with your...well, multimedia approach to playing him to fill in the gaps that the MCU has left.

And, what really impresses me is how well you're getting across Loki's charisma. That is a hell of a difficult thing to do; I've played a supposedly charismatic character before, and I know I didn't do half as well as you are right now. I mean, I frequently have to stop and remind myself that this guy is a rotten bastard when reading his threads, and I have a ton more information than most of the characters in Luceti!

I only have one tiny nitpick, and this is just a personal thing, so feel perfectly free to disregard it. Basically, I find it jarring when his default icon shows up in threads when it's not really appropriate, like when he was having his memory loss problems--I'm assuming it's from when you're phone tagging? I know it's a lot more convenient, but it also really throws me out of the moment and makes it more difficult for me to know how to respond. Also, I'm shallow and enjoy looking at all the pretty faces he makes. :P

But yeah, in summary, you're doing such a terrific job that I feel like I'm positively throwing Grune at a character I would normally keep her a million miles away from (I get stressed easily) because you make him so damn interesting. Thank you for being awesome. ♥

Haha, yeah, most of the time the default icon shows up, it's either because I have no idea which icon to use, or I'm phone posting. (The latter is much more common than the former.)

I'm kind of tempted to switch his default over to the wings icon (the one I'm using on this post) but IDK. I'm never happy with the default...

I'm glad I've laid your fears to rest. Tumblr scares me. :X

I figured, yeah. Seriously don't worry about it if it's too much trouble.

Man, that place scares me too when it comes to your guy--although the retaliatory jokes are pretty funny, I have to say!
