How's My Driving?
[PROCEED]

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

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 know only the last two...

Alice feels very...Alice to me. I FAIL WITH THE DESCRIPTORS TODAY 8C But she SOUNDS like her, and I can HEAR her when I read her posts and tags, and ldskjfsd;lksdfk;lfds I just kind of think she's lovely.

/not helpful

Ed....AHHHHHH! I AM SO SO SO GLAD ;-; AND AND AND HI HELLO HELLO HELLO /FAIFLSDJVPUIEJKLDFSOJDLS;

.../calms self /collects/ breathes

OKAY, EDMUND.../tries again:

He is the most distinct voice of your characters for me, perhaps for the most part because he involves a great deal of brevity in word but not necessarily in thought where your other characters seem to be both in equal parts. I enjoy the difference and I especially like the adequate and distinct dynamic he brings in completing the Pevensie four. Without him it really does feel like there is a missing piece, because, well, THERE IS. They each have their own strengths and without one of them it becomes almost PAINFULLY clear what they are missing. His threads with Lucy make me ;-; and his conversations with Caspian hail toward VDT days already in a sense of voice and age and understanding between king of old and king of new, which I LOVE. Him and Su are like Wall of Reason and I like that levelheadedness that gets balanced out nicely with such things as chasing pigs named Lab and faispalming at Caspian's antics concerning deliveries and so on. Just...lots of praise and appreciation. I know you're still settling with him [from reading the threads above] but I want you to know I'M SUPER grateful that you ARE taking the time to settle with him and that despite not being sure of him you are also enjoying it, because at the end of the RP day, enjoying it is what it NEEDS to be about [staunch on this I am] so...really just...yes.

❤

Your glee is so contagious. You ought to be quarantined, you know that?

I'm so sososo glad Alice sounds like herself. I'm worried I'm sliding into something that's kind of "generic little girl cute". And Alice is a little girl, and she is cute, but she's not generic! She has a voice, and I was worried I was losing it. So I'm so glad that you like her and how she sounds~ I love having a cute character to throw around and be friendly and be scared and go floating about in pumpkin boats~

I UNDERSTAND YOUR KEYBOARD SMASHES NOW. I FEEL YOUR LOVE ;;

I'm so glad you like Ed. I really was feeling unsteady at first--and I still am, a little--because the crew is so big and so tightly-knit and so in communication and has so much in-game development--all of which is amazingly awesome and I love. I'm glad that he sounds like himself, though. That, I think, is the most important part. I am having fun playing him (I like thinking about how he must think after all the things he's seen and done and endured) but I also want to play him well because the crew is so big and complete and lovely. When I'm tagging with him, I sort of keep in mind that he's the diplomat, he's the counselor, he's the thinker. That seems to help me a lot. I love having him faceplam and take it all in stride and shake his head at his crazy family. I'm happy to have him here and to see how everything is coming together and tangling up ♥
