HOW'S MY DRIVING

[ponymeisters]

HOW'S MY DRIVING?: CHRISTMAS EDITION 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!

Twilight "Maytwi" Sparkle
Dante
Queen Chrysalis
Kreutzer

Concerns: My tagging speed hasn't gotten much better Especially since a lot of my focus went to getting Maytwi through the shadow event and some characters have gotten more exposure than others Maytwi > everyone else. I'd definitely appreciate advice on how to fix these and apologize that they're a thing in the first place. Crit about anything else is also openly accepted!

I think May!Twi needed the most attention, so it's understandable. Dante is a treat to see as always. Can't really comment on Kreutzer.

I would like to see Queen Chrysalis around more, though I do apologize for not being able to come up with some plot between Tails and Chrissy. Most of the ideas I had were pretty much shot down, but I am trying to think up better ideas that won't cause trouble with the mods.

[magicalrealist]

No need to blame yourself for it; most of the Chrysalis plans never really took off and that's my fault for not being proactive enough with her. I'll be working on that as we get closer to January. I've got a few ideas for her around then.

Meanwhile, I really need to throw either Maytwi or Dante at Tails, either for more serious persona talkings or for "Dammit Dante, you're not supposed to befriend your shadow what are you doing" things.

[ponymechanic]

The best idea I have so far is some kind of cursed item that somehow temporary takes away his cutie mark and all of his memories with it (since Magical Mystery Cure kinda shows how cutie marks are kind of connected with memories). I'm not sure how or if it would even work.

Other than that, I got nothing, but we can work that out.

Tails would be a little surprised that Dante actually had befriended his shadow, but then he would just shrug it off. It's better than having a shadow go berserk.

[strawberryredgrave]

Yeah, we can definitely work it out. If anything, cursed items are meant to be a tradeoff, as opposed to general enchanted stuff that gives you bonuses regardless. You know, for others to give into the temptation of the bad for the sake of a little good.

What I'm asking is what would you want to trade Tails' cutie mark and memories for. That's just as important, I feel.

[ponymechanic]

Good question. I hadn't thought that far ahead, but obviously it would have to be something of equal value. That's why I'm trying to think of other ideas in the meantime.

[strawberryredgrave]

I'm thinking something that grants him the powers of another, whoever that person may be. The consequence of using it is feeling that person invade his mind until eventually he takes over and Tails loses control entirely. Think of the ring in Lord of the Rings and how it corrupts the user the more they wear it. Maybe something like that?

[ponymechanic]

That sounds a lot better than Tails just accidentally activating it so I'm cool with that. (funny enough, I just watched the current Hobbit movie yesterday. Very good, but man that ending really annoyed me. =/ I won't say anymore though.)

[strawberryredgrave]

Cool. If you're still up for it, then I'll leave the specifics of that up to you. And yeah, I saw it a few days ago. That's one way to leave people hanging off a cliff.

Bombur, tho

[ponymechanic]

Okay. I'll check something first then let you know the details if it's good to go. I know, right? Talk about a dick move.

[callmeyork]

I think your tagging speed is pretty good, considering how much crap you've had to deal with in real life. I would like to see more Dante and Chrissy on the main posts, as well as possibly plotting something with them.

Your handle on Maytwi is top-notch, and her whole thing during the shadow plot was a treat to read.

[magicalrealist]

Thanks, Kasu. Maytwi is the one character that can get me emotional very easily, so it's great to hear that I'm at least handling her properly.

As for those two, I'm more than happy to plot things with them. I still need to confirm a few things with Chrissy, but I do have an idea for a Dante post I need to put up soon. Of the two, he's definitely easier to reach and talk to and stuff.
