IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE! HMD, HMD! HOW'S MY DRIVING? PRETTY GOOD, RIGHT? AREN'T YOU THANKFUL?! GOBBLE IT UP, POLYCHROMATIDS~!!
Welcome back to our more seasoned members, and welcome to you first-timers.
HMD is the gamewide chance for feedback on playing here in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
polychromatic.
And here's our philosophy on HMD: praise--it's all well and good (we all love it, yeah?), so if you want to give praise, love, ♥s, whatever, go for it! It's especially great to say what you ♥ so much about a character. For example, how they acted during X curse or Y plot was great, or how they adjusted (or didn't?) to the City was fascinating. But we all know, constructive crit is best when you're looking for advice on how to improve. What we really encourage here are questions. It gives you the chance to maybe understand something, (and maybe you think it makes sense after all now), and the player a chance to explain. For example:
"How did Gary get from Point A in canon to Point B in Poly? It didn't quite make sense to me."
"What started this whole fascination of Sue's with the bananas?"
And then you find out that there's a long, involved story that goes back six months involving the aftermath of a curse, a lizard, a pound of potatoes, a watermelon, three French maids, and a pogo stick. And then it all makes perfect sense.
Or perhaps it doesn't, but you've started a dialogue about the things you perceive versus the things the player perceives.
As decided by community vote, anon is not allowed here on the main HMD post, and IP logging is on. Sorry, Anon. However, we encourage posting a link to your own, personal, anon-enabled crit thread(s) if allowing anon is something you want to do and are comfortable with. But keep in mind that we moderators can't police those crit threads: not only are they anon, but they are on your own journals, and there are dozens of them. But we entreat members of this game to be polite and courteous, logged in or not. We will be watching the main post for any unrest, however, so keep that in mind. (We like to watch.) Let's all keep ourselves like civilized people, and have a decent time. Remember, no road rage in HMD.
To keep things organized, please post your comment in the following format*:
The general disclaimer, as usual, applies:
By choosing to post here on HMD, you may receive comments you don't necessarily enjoy. By posting here, you accept that this could happen, and you're basically okay with it. We will be monitoring this post for abuse and will shut down any instances of abuse we see. However, constructive crit, comments, or questions you just don't like do not count as abuse.
Whew. Now that that's all out of the way, have at it,polychromatic!
*Please remember our requests regarding sparkles, images, embedded media, and other bits of coding. A little variation on the comment form is fine and tasty, and putting things like gifs or videos behind links or in collapsed threads is fine too, but please consider the loading time for others with slower connections. And take it easy on the placeholders: HMD isn't going anywhere.
And because it's apparently traditional for HMD posts to go up in the middle of the damn night, here we are. =_=v

I still feel a little shaky with Hawkeye--like his jokes are too forced or he's unhappy at the wrong times. He does this weird switch thing in canon where one minute it's lololololjokelolol and then POW! WAR SUCKS AND I HATE YOU ALL >( I can't do the swap quite like in canon (obviously), so...eh, I love playing him, don't get me wrong, but poke me if I start getting off track, too lame in my jokes, or like I'm just trying too hard. I'm glad you're enjoying reading him. That's very encouraging to me.
I knoooooooooow I do that, especially with Cain and Alice. I mean, there are times when I myself see it and I just cringe. I've been feeling this one myself, so I'm glad you said you were seeing it too: it's not just my imagination. Sure, Cain and Alice are both of a similar era and country, but that's where it ends, Ed's from later in time, and Hawkeye's the other side of the pond. Don't blend, guys, really. I know it wouldn't hurt me at all to experiment a little more. My problem always is that if I'm going to make a post, I want to make a post. And that ends up being really amazingly tl;dr and ridiculous. I think I will experiment a little. I'll go check canons and things for some details and particulars, stuff I can throw in to make them different. Because, really, the last thing I want is for them to blend together.
♥! Thank you thank you thank you! Helpful as ever. Watch out for forthcoming tags.
