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![[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

Re: Amy!
Fred, okay she's adorable and there's no way I could dislike her but I think you add another dimension to her somehow that reels me right in. Whether it's that you let me see her from a different POV or I can see a little more into her thought process though you, it's something that opens her up a little more to me. She's just...so so Fred. If that makes sense. Playing Lorne being head over heels for his Freddles is so very easy and that's due to your characterization of her, mmk? Mmk.
Sylar! Watching Heroes makes me want to swat him away forever. Poly? Makes me want to hang onto him forever! You play his two sides very close to each other and there's this great inner battle he's dealing with which is just really fascinating and kind of...I'm actually wondering where his chips are going to fall in the City. Either way will be interesting and I hope I can be less fail and have Lorne play a part in it! And your Sylar makes it hard for me to NOT app my HRG, for srs.
Overall, you've got such a grasp on your characters that it makes it both fun and easy to interact with them. *SMOOCHES*
Re: Amy!
Wow, really? I do try to take the themes the writers seem to push and run with them, but I'm so glad to hear that I make characters more likable as characters. :D This is such a compliment, you don't even know. I seriously know Sylar especially can be considered extremely annoying characterwise, and even though I love playing with him, I can understand players not caring for the guy. So if I have made him less annoying in your eyes that is awesome. :D
I am also very glad you like my Fred! My own 'voice' is a little too close to hers, so sometimes I worry that I'm bleeding over into MY own ramblings instead of hers. >____> But it seems that's not a problem, at least not yet, so yaaaay. :3 I will try to keep her- well, both of them up, really.
Sylar in particular is so unstable that I'm interested to see where those chips fall here in the City. I'm really looking forward to playing it out and seeing how it goes, and hell yes Lorne should have a part in that. OMG DO IT DO IT-- ahem. I mean, HRG would totally put Sylar into a downward spin, which would be awesome, because I'm mean to my characters. Also, I bet your HRG is fantastic. :3
Anyway! Thank you so much! I really appreciate the input from such great players and you are definitely right up there. <33333 I am looking forward to this month.
