How's My Driving?




HOW'S MY DRIVING?



Hello, Equestrians! Its time for a game-wide HMD!

Here's how it works:

  1. Post your name, along with what character(s) you play.
  2. If you want, specify particular areas you would like feedback on! (It's okay to ask for just general feedback!)
  3. 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.
  4. Reply to other people telling them how you think they are doing.
  5. 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!"
  6. ?????
  7. 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!

YOU HAVE A VERY DISTORTED SENSE OF HUBRIS ACTUALLY but let's not get into that. We've danced that dance many a time.

Tagging out with people other than Dash and Zetta seems to in general be a weakness for you; you only seem to do such when forced to (via AC requirements) or when there's existing relationships (Flare/Dust, Morgan/Nephenee, Boo/Vinyl when they were both in the game). Don't be afraid of being a little pushy! We won't bite, and all of your characters are well-played and compelling!

or are they

My problem generally seems to be that Rainbow and especially Zetta are always more entertaining contributors to a thread than anyone else, at least in my mind. Zecora has her storefront now, and Morgan has the dojo, but I really need to get those two and Dust involved in something that keeps them more out-front.

Well as long as things keep going pear-shaped, Dust will get plenty of opportunities to get out and about. There's plenty of things willing to attack innocent ponies.

This is a major problem I have with some of our large-scale events, like the Tasty Cat Polka: by the time I get to them, I have absolutely no place in them. This is the number one reason Dust isn't involved right now: I have nowhere to put him and no idea what to do with him. I had this same problem with the Changeling battle as well, to name another instance. I just feel like these events are brick walls to me.
noxequus: (I feel like that stopped making sense)

[personal profile] noxequus 2014-04-05 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's a mental wall you yourself are setting up, though - I've seen how you routinely check and reply to tags daily (and it IS routine, I can practically time clocks to it), so being a few hours late legitimately won't kill you. Maybe if you prioritize looking at new posts/tagging into new posts over backtagging? I don't know what will work, but I do know there's ways around that despair-induced "and now I have no place in the world" you keep feeling.
badassfreakingoverlord: (let's not go with that)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2014-04-05 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, with large events like the battle, I still have that feeling because people form up into groups and charge into it within seeming minutes of it being posted!

On a broader scale, most of my characters are fairly directionless at the present, which is something I've been working to remedy.
