Post your name, along with what character(s) you play.
If you want, specify particular areas you would like feedback on! (It's okay to ask for just general feedback!)
Indicate whether or not you're okay with anonymous feedback. (It's totally cool if you don't.) You can also post links to your character's personal HMD if you'd prefer comments there.
Reply to other people telling them how you think they are doing.
Be polite and objective! If someone says they're cool with anonymous crit, that is not an invitation to be unfriendly. No one likes a Diamond Tiara! If you have something negative to say about somebody else's playing, make your points politely and suggest ways to improve. To give an example:
X - Unhelpful Diamond Tiara - "Jeez, Terri, can you learn to type? You've got about a billion typos in your posts!"
O - Helpful Not Diamond Tiara - "Hi, Terri, I noticed you have a number of typos in your posts. Something you might want to do is give your posts that one last look-over before hitting submit. It would really help with readability!"
?????
PROFIT
You don't have to post your own characters to give other people feedback! You don't have to post your characters at all if you don't want to. It is 100% OPTIONAL. If you do post, we would encourage you to give feedback to at least one other person!
I want to start off by saying that I enjoy how approachable you guys are with concerns, and that you've actually been trying to balance the heavy modplot stuff with the lighter slice-of-life more as time went on. It's still not 100%, but I can see you guys have been making an effort at it.
I've spoken with Ni in private about some tonal things, but I figure it bears repeating here: While I personally don't mind the tone of the game, keep in mind that the way it's presented will turn off some people, even if - especially if - you use "what cartoons can get away with" as your upper limit.
Remember: Death may be frowned upon by censors, but the replacements are a million times more unpleasant/horrifying/potentially problematic. (For good examples, see The Princess and the Frog, or pretty much anything at all by Don Bluth)
We are aware of the tonal issues inherent in the game, but are happy you've seen the progress we've made to try to shift the balance to something lighter. This is a My Little Pony game, and for as serious and disturbing as the show can get brainwashing, anyone? it's still ultimately a show about friendship conquering all aimed at a younger audience.
We will continue to try to find a balance, but are ultimately aware that some things will simply not work for everyone, no matter how hard we try. We will keep making the effort, though! And if we begin to slip again, please feel free to come to us in the future at any time.
