HMD [A - K]

Those who gave their names or nicknames on their applications and the Taken Character List as starting with A through K, please post here.


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 [livejournal.com profile] 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, [livejournal.com profile] 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

❤❤❤❤❤

Bah, you've been fine. <3 I haven't been around much this month, either.

Ahaha, wow, yes. Heroes is sort of everywhere- kind of like Lost, I hear, but I haven't watched that show. And they did sort of add some Fail background to Sylar so not everything was his fault and he really didn't have a chance....but I like exploring that, whether he can make the right choices, now that he has a SLIGHT idea what they are.

Where I'm heading with him-- well, I think I'm probably going to kickstart it with the amnesia, and then continue on from there. I really think you're right in that they're kind of slowly building on Sylar's actually trying to be less horrible. Things keep happening that get in the way, but he seems to be repeatedly trying. I'm sort of hoping he gets back to that in this season, after he's doing being super-pissed at everyone for messing around with him so badly (hell, I'd be pissed at Angela too, if no one else). But I'll see how canon deals with it and sort of...work with that accordingly. I do like adding the mix of the City into it, because he's had more chances and more people trusting him here than he's ever had back home.

Of course, he's also seriously unstable, so....who really knows what will happen? XD I'm sure the amnesia update (which I've only got one scene I want to squeeze in between now and then), and whenever I update him to this latest episode (lol) will both seriously stir things up. As far as your update- man, anything'd be good. There's pros and cons for doing it before/after/right next to Sylar's. :3

I'm super glad to be here, and that you like having Sylar around. :D I love playing with your Peter and will have to poke at him further. I should be around more this next month, thankfully.
