It's that time finally! Here's our first How's My Driving? post. This sitewide meme will go up on the 20th of every month and it's encouraged that everyone post! Please post a list of your current in-game characters as a reference for other members to use for comments or critique.

Remember to keep it civil. Outright flaming will not be tolerated and we will deal with any hostile comments as soon as possible. Critique should be constructive. Offer ways a player can improve their characters, solve any problems you might have, etc. rather than just telling them they're horrible with no examples or pointers.

Likewise, this isn't a love meme. It's great to tell someone you think they're doing a good job or you love playing with them! Just give reasons for why you think they're awesome or what they're doing well. We're not discouraging positive comments. Love is great, but so is hearing why you are so you know what to keep doing.

Anon comments are enabled and IP logging is off for those who'd prefer a little anonymity, but please don't abuse this feature to be rude to other players.

If anything comes up, please visit the concerns page to let us know or contact us through any of the other various ways listed.

I've noticed with some of your threads, and with Jake specifically, that if you're actively trying to not have him have sex it doesn't leave a lot for him to actually do. There's only so long two muses can chew over one another's life stories, the weather, and other mundane stranger talk before they're left blinking at one another with nothing to say.

By all means, make him discriminating about his sex partners, but since being easy makes the threads easy, if he's not going to be getting down, then you need to consider what's going to make him interesting in the threads. I've seen a couple and been in one where it was like the other muse was dragging him along by the nostrils to continue the thread once the initial Typical Stranger Conversation A was complete.

I don't know how to word it any better. I just think maybe you're playing him a bit -too- cool sometimes.

Skylar seems sort of unmemorable in general. Off the top of my head, I can't really say anything about her except that she likes machines. My advice to you for her is to maybe branch out a little and find other things that make her interesting.

This may all be kind of premature, too, since it's still the first month and they're all still finding their feet in the game, but it maybe will give you some ideas to think about.

I haven't been able to tag around with Jake as much as I'd like since he was in the sacrifice event.

Him not jumping right into sex (particularly in the TDM) is a character choice for him. Admittedly, most of the threads I had with him in there didn't go very far and yes, they did have a tendency to drag on a bit when they weren't sexually related. I'm working on trying to get him into having more conversations with meat.

Skylar was also in the sacrifice event, which has made it difficult to tag into the rest of town with her until it was over. I'm hoping to be able to integrate them both more into the environment of the game now that they're able to mingle more freely.

That all makes perfect sense and there's nothing wrong with making that character choice. I was just pointing out some things I noticed.

I think it's way too early to be too nitty picky, but I also hate to see an HMD go to waste when there's anything I can say. I like getting crit, so I try to give it when I can.

I appreciate you taking the time to give it, particularly over ocs, who I know can easily get overlooked and/or ignored. Expanding on their personality is something I'll be working on, so thank you for leaving well-worded constructive criticism.
