How's My Driving Meme!

HOW'S MY DRIVING? Hello, Equestrians! Its time for a game-wide HMD! Here's how it works: 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! Flattery is welcome just as much as concrit!

Much like Sword said, I do like that you guys are trying to balance the heavy modplot stuff with slice-of-life, though keep in mind if you try to make it too dark all the time, that runs the risk of either turning people off or break characters to the point where they can't play them. After all, despite the RP ad saying that we have a dark modplot, this isn't a horror game.

In terms of NPCs, while Tirek was interesting, his whole "might is right" thing confused me. He wasn't like that in Twilight's Kingdom or in G1. Otherwise he was IC.

Overall you guys are still awesome as mods.

We are actually doing our best to tone down the darkness! Part of the reason we asked people not to have their characters killed in this most recent plot is because of that. We wanted Tirek to be a serious threat, but in the show, he is not a murderer. We felt that would be OOC for him and undermine efforts we'd made to lighten this particular plot from its original inception.

We will bear in mind your thoughts on Tirek for any future use he might get. We were trying to extrapolate from his general power lust shown in the show, though!
