Concrit meme - Take 56!
We're having a concrit meme again! The rules are the same as last time:

Comment to this post with a list of your characters.

Then reply anonymously to the other players, giving concrit on how they're playing/their characterization/their interactions/etc. Or ask them to elaborate on different events and choices with their characters - why did [character] do x or y, and so on.

Flames will simply get screened or deleted - and, if I can track it down, you could be banned. The idea is to help us all improve and clear out possible misunderstandings, point out activity issues, etc, not to simply insult someone. The more you can elaborate and specify (in a civil, reasonable way) why something bothers you, the better.

You can just praise a character/mun, if you can't find anything wrong with what they do. It's always better if you can elaborate on why you like that character (then that person can know what they're doing right), but hey, flailing at someone is fine too.

This is semi-mandatory! If you aren't comfortable with the HMD, or don't feel like posting every time, or whatever the reason is, it's just fine, go ahead and don't participate. Obviously, I'd rather everyone did.

And one last thing - we're a small game! If nobody comments, then the meme doesn't work. If you receive comments, try to leave at least one of your own to somebody else. It's always better if we have many replies, and various POVs.

I really like the way you play Fuuma, and as people have mentioned in the past you do a great job of portraying him as the quiet kind of guy he is, while making him interesting at the same time and not letting him become super boring.

That said, it'd be great to see him around more! We didn't get to see him react to Kamui leaving, he rarely interacts even with castmates... Even his journal looks almost abandoned, with the last entry being from so long ago, and his participation in logs is usually very late. I understand that he's a quiet person who would focus mostly on his sister and Kamui, but there might be events you could use to help interactions happen? Abusing the "accidental" recordings could work, too.

Thanks anaon, I'm glad that Fuuma is still sounding good, and isn't too boring. That's always a bit of a concern with Mr. Cardboard here.

I think it's pretty apparent that November to December weren't good months for me RP wise, which is around when Kamui dropped, and Kakyou apped back in - which is what I assume you are meaning castmates wise. I had planned on making a post for Fuuma covering some of that, but then the fairy tale event happened, and by then it seemed pointless to bother because it happened months ago. The whole second half of 2012 was crap for me honestly, but I'm hoping this year will be better and I am trying to get myself back into the swing of things.

As for the logs, I'm honestly not sure what you'd like me to do about it. I tag into the logs when I have time, or have a good idea of what I'd like to do with the event. I tagged into the fairy tale event log a day after it was posted, and if people aren't willing to tag because I am a day late posting, I have no idea how I can fix that. I tag into things if I can think of a way to put Fuuma in there, but if I don't I throw up an open post in the log.

I've been feeling kind of stuck with Fuuma in general this month and last for various reasons, but again, hopefully I can figure it out and get back into the swing of things. I'm for sure going to look over the events again, and see if there isn't one that catches my eye to play with.

I definitely did not mean that tag in particular, but looking back there really isn't a pattern of late replies. There have been a few times when Fuuma tagged late, but it's not that often. However, his lack of participation in general does stand out. While looking for log replies to see if I could give you more examples, I noticed he's absent from a majority of logs, and when he does show up he's almost never tagging others. His last post is from May, which is much, much further back than the times you mentioned, and it makes the lack of tagging in logs much more problematic. It'd be great to be able to build CR with him, you do play him very well when you do and he has a lot of potential for interesting threads and CR. But it's very difficult to manage it when he doesn't tag around much (if at all), and rarely updates.

Sorry anon, like I said, last year was really shitty for me, and made it hard to get a whole lot done RP wise. I know I haven't been super active, but I didn't have the time or energy to be. I'm going to try and turn things around, and I'm going to work on being more active. But I've had a lot going on this month and I don't want to jump into a ton of things all at once and stress myself out over it.
