How's My Driving?

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

Rosella ;_; She is just so lovely and makes me wish I still had Giselle in the city ALL THE TIME instead of a character who will regularly be blunt about life being a bitch and then you die. SIGH. You really handle the stranger in a strange land aspect very well, even after all this time and with everything she's learned the places her friends talk about are still... far off storybooks to her. There's nothing anachronistic about her, even when she's talking about Sam's cars or Thanksgiving her own position as slightly outside of all that is very set.

Still finding so much to say, so consistently after so long is a real achievement, and it looks like there are yet more directions for her to go. Really she's one of the most grounded, developed characters in the game, I do not think you could impress me more.

Hahahaha, Rosella and Giselle. I bet Rosella's poor friends were eating cupcakes for weeks after the two of them hit the kitchen.

I think that's by far one of my favorite things about playing Rosella--taking all sorts of modern things and concepts and seeing them with all the wide-eyed wonder of someone who thinks getting swallowed whole by a whale is a perfectly natural and reasonable occurrence in daily life. And it's especially fun when I get to play her off people like Chase and Sam, who introduce her to all these different concepts and then she's left to sort of fit them into her own personal schema of the world, and make them make sense according to her own fairy-tale logic. Because really, magic is totally natural, and technology is the freaky illogical stuff, don't you know!

I'm glad you think she's still consistent, since I've been a little worried about her drifting lately. But I think with the box plot running and Sam's hospital stay, she'll have plenty of things to focus and progress on in the future.

Thank you so much! I'm blushing over here, seriously.
