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!

I'm glad you mentioned mod favoritism, because I want to make a point on that very clear: I get a lot of plot time and stuff because I ask the mods. I toss them suggestions I'd like to do, and if they find it interesting, it happens. My suggestions tend to be fairly large-scale because Zetta, in particular, is, well, Zetta; thus they turn into pretty significant plots, involving NPCs and machinations on a large scale.

They've told me 'no' when they thought it was necessary and made changes where they thought things would work better, so I'm definitely not running free with their rubberstamp approval. I just make a point of communicating with them and offering ideas and suggestions. That isn't unique to this game either.

With regards to Tartarus and NPC interaction, that was all them; they had the idea for Tirek quite some time ago, and just integrated my ideas for Zetta's ascension into it as a good fit.

I'm happy you're mentioning how these plots came to be. I don't think that many members have realized that they're allowed to suggest plots that are on such a big scale. I'm only just hearing of this now.

I'm glad for a chance to clear the air. Honestly, in all my time in DWRP, I have never found a mod team to be unwelcome to plot ideas and large-scale shenanigans if the players are willing to work with them. Maybe I've been just lucky, but asking and discussing with them have always produced dividends for me.
