HMD meme

HMD


It's that time finally! Here's our 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.

Sorry anon, but if you don't like the risk of potentially anon crit, just don't post here. From what I've seen, most of the crit handed out has been both constructive, and from people who are fairly obviously in the game. Most people aren't so easily wounded to need to be cushioned from the entire rp community, even when playing in a game like this, and if you need to avoid it, then just keep away from here. Simple.

I like the HMD because, despite the risks, it gives people a regular chance to air any problems and is more likely to provoke discussion than posting on a private HMD, where people can just screen the comment and ignore it forever. Besides, I haven't seen any hoards of hateful anons streaming in here to cause wank. I think you're over-estimating how invested people who aren't actually in the game are in us.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
