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 can think of several characters, including one that I play, that simply cannot be complicit in essentially being held "captive". They want to get out, either to go home or regain their original forms or they just don't like being prisoners, whatever the reason, they are inevitably going to want to dig for answers in a bid to figure out what's going on and how to solve it and get out.
I understand that the mods can control whether or not they actually find anything of use, but I feel as though completely cutting off the characters' abilities to find information they're looking for will just lead to a bunch of deeply frustrated characters (and possibly muns).
As a further suggestion, instead of more information on the why/how they're here since we've had a lot found out about that and recently too, and since that seems to be what most of the issues are stemming from with regards to the tone of the game, could we have characters discovering more about what they can do about their situation to either fight back or get out?
It was mentioned up-thread somewhere that each time the Elements of Harmony are activated it weakens Calice's hold. Is there a way for this knowledge to become known in-game, or something similar along those lines without breaking anything? A way to give the characters solid hope that what they are doing here is making a difference against Calice or the means to discover more ways to weaken her oppressive grip?

I think this is a great suggestion for helping the tone. If it comes to light that activating the Elements helps, it will in turn motivate characters to make a goal of learning more about the Elements. (Not too unlike Twilight's discoveries on friendship when you think about it.) In turn plots revolving around strengthening the Elements of Friendship will naturally be lighter-hearted and closer to MLP canon.
