Game-wide HMD
Welcome to the MarinaNova HMD! This is optional, but encouraged.

• List your characters for which you'd like feedback. We have a form below if you like forms!

• Leave your tactful and considered thoughts, questions, concerns, praise, suggestions, etc. for others.

We strongly encourage you to make this a dialogue. Find out what went into actions, decisions, and characterization and you may come to understand it better. Hopefully, you'll also be in the best position to clearly communicate your own concerns. Results will be more satisfactory for everyone if one person isn't on the offensive while the other is on the defensive.

Avoid leaving someone a wall of text. This can be intimidating even with the most careful of wording and best of intentions.

Don't gang up on someone. You may have a different way of wording something, but unless you have something new to contribute, consider letting it go if there are already others saying it.

Be constructive and considerate.

• Since there is no plotting meme during months with an HMD, please feel free to do that here too.

• Contact a mod if you have any problems.

Anonymous commenting is on. It will be turned off if there is abuse.



Please feel welcome to leave game and mod feedback and suggestions here.

As well as anything you may have to say that falls outside those realms!

We can't promise everything will be handled or altered to your liking, but we do promise to give everything serious consideration.

We want this game to always be growing and improving for the benefit of it's players—YOU! We have lots of our own ideas, but it always helps to hear what you're thinking instead of guessing.

Character: Clay Kitkat | Assassin's Creed | [info]s16 | ☑
Comments: Very angry, very mean, and very vicious. He's treating the world like it's out to get him and taking it out on the wrong people.

I know so little about AssCreed (but that is about to change) but oh wowie I've been enjoying Clay so much. The very angry, very mean and very vicious is coming across really great, even if it can be so frustrating to deal with icly! Looking forward to more!

So, I have no idea what's going on with him and Mal, but I'm enjoying figuring it out. Mal's not all that mean or viscious... just has his own agenda. But he's grateful for Clay not killing him in his dream.

Player name: Rica

Character: Spencer Reid | Criminal Minds | [info]thisiscalm | ☑
Comments: Reid has had a rocky time lately, and I'd really like to hear how you think I've handled that. Is he recovering too soon? Not soon enough? Am I clear enough with that his relative okay-ness is 90% thin surface?

Character: Charlotte Charles | Pushing Daisies | [info]pushedback | ☑
Comments: I don't really have a whole lot going on for Chuck right now, so any ideas or suggestions on stuff you'd like to see me do more with her would be amazing!

Character: Aidan Reilly | original character | [info]redclayheroics | ☑
Comments: Aidan has been chugging along over the last few months, dealing with his PTSD and getting involved in as much as he possibly can just to keep himself from going nuts. Lots of internal conflict, lots of low self-worth and guilt happening. Any questions about that? Am I portraying his emotional and mental conflict well or does it need tuning?


Character: Spike | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | [info]chipswiththat | ☑
Comments: RE-SOULING PLOT give me your thoughts! Has it been inclusive enough? Do you feel like you've been given the chance to get involved and do stuff? How about pacing? Does it make sense? Am I handling him alright still?

General comments on how I rp (tagging out, tagback speed etc) are warmly welcome, as are comments on the NPC's I play (Conscienti and Mary Wesson).

OBVIOUSLY I LOVE YOU AND ALL YOUR CHARACTERS I HAVE NOTHING BUT CAPSLOCK SUPPORT. Also Phanan has a sad pearl now so things will happen with that.

That's all I got.

Just swinging by to comment on Reid and Chuck since they're the characters I feel most qualified to say anything about!

Okay, so I guess I don't have anything substantial to say about Chuck, but she's so sweet and I need more her and Nathan (which would involve me tagging, wouldn't it?). She really got to him with the dream thing and the letting-him-help-her-move thing, so he likes her.

Your Reid is basically the reason I'm here and continuing to be here. I don't think I've stalked all of his threads, but from what I've seen, you're having him cope in a way that feels organic. You've made it clear enough that he's not okay-okay and might not be for some time (or ever). At the same time, you've had him pull himself together and act okay in an attempt to get on with existence. Maybe Nathan thinks Reid is generally okay--although his version of "okay" differs from most, I think--but I do get the impression from the way you're writing him that it's mostly surface okay-ness.

tl;dr Keep rocking it. I'm digging the tension between Reid and Nathan.

Let's see...

Aidan: I think you're portraying his mental conflict really well. Mal has no idea what to do with it, but that's because he's Mal. I'm enjoying it very much.

Spike: I haven't been paying much attention to Spike's side of things other than when he attacked Martha. Now I'm paying enough attention to Jack to see what's happening... June was a crazy month...

So yeah. Keep rocking!

Haru the light of my life. I don't really want to watch Gintama ever because your Sougo is the only Sougo for me and seeing the original would just not be the same deal. I am forever happy with the friendship that's grown between him and Aidan — honestly, I'm not sure how I would've been able to handle his depression without Sougo around for support.

We need so many more brothreads. So many. And Chuck and Sougo was priceless, so more of those too please.

Player name: Stella

Character: Deanna Troi | Star Trek: TNG | [info]counselled | ☑
Comments: I know I have been a failflake at everything since my hiatus in May, but I'm hoping Deanna's gotten enough of a jumpstart to get back in the game now. I'm also going to make more of an effort to do things with her this month, so if anyone wants her for anything, I am more than happy to toss her around. She needs things to do. Character-wise, I'm always a bit shaky with her, so any ideas / encouragement / critiques of how she's reacting / acting / thinking are welcome! I think that's it.

tl;dr so not confident with her ever.

Keep poking Nathan! No, really. Just from a meta perspective, I think that Deanna is in a better position to get somewhere with Nathan than anyone else.

I think you're writing her well. I can hear her voice and weird kind-of-an-accent accent when I read your tags, she seems to be picking up on just the right amount of emotions (including the obvious ones that make me want to scream YES I CAN SENSE HIS HOSTILITY TOO DEANNA HE KILLED SOMEONE when I watch TNG), and her empathy comes across clearly. You've captured her general calmness, too, so I say you're doing a fantastic job with her.

I'm not sure what you would have to lose confidence in, because you've always written perfection as far as I'm concerned! I can always hear Jack's voice clearly in your tags and I love how you're exploring not only his newfound monogamy but also the difficulties of not being the head honcho. I especially loved his recent revelation with Reid about how he doesn't view the DF as his team! You have him go from dead serious to fun and flirty with such ease, it's a true joy to play against!

All the love ever. I've had not problems tagging you because of you. All my tagging problems are my complete lack of direction with Martha. Keep being wonderful!

Comments: I haven't been able to focus on RP as much as I'd wanted to this past month do to other more pressing stuff. If you've noticed a drop in tag quality/think Haruka's OOC/anything else please don't hesitate to bring it up to me! I am always trying to improve.

Comments: I feel a little like I'm floundering with Duo a bit. I need a project for him. I'm just hoping he's not boring, yet.

Character: Kitty Pryde | X-Men: Evolution | [info]kitty_phase | ☑
Comments: I've been trying to get her a little more serious and bad ass and less the fun valley girl thing. She has both sides in the show, and I'd like to showcase both a bit more, but I seem to be having problems finding situations where I can get her to be all serious and bad ass? If that makes any sense...

Character: Piper Halliwell | charmed | [info]trytobenormal | ☑
Comments: I'm hoping that getting her involved in some of the recent plots as well as having the newbie reception each month and having her do the cooking class now will give her something to work on. I've noticed that she kind of plateau'd really fast after apping her in.

Character: Tieria Erde | Gundam 00 | [info]trial_by_veda | ☑
Comments: Tieria's having a bit of a crisis, though he's not irreversible, yet. I'm worried that I might be overdoing it, and I'm trying to find moments to bring out a little of his bitchy tough side again.

Overall Comments: Thoughts appreciated on everyone. I know my tagging speed has been super flakey because of real life. I think I'm at a bit of a crossroads. Either way, I haven't been feeling really confident and strong lately, and I apologize if that's coming out in my tags at all.

Character: Data | Star Trek TNG | [info]thirdcriterion | ☑
Character: Dexter Morgan | Dexter | [info]hastohappen | ☑
Character: Todd Anderson | Dead Poets Society (AU) | [info]mumbled_truth | ☑

Comments: Comments are really overall for the roster as a whole, so... one comment section here. I'm pretty clearly having an activity and motivation struggle right now and I think I might just be spread too thin here. Of all my characters, Dexter is currently the easiest for me to make AC with. I have considered dropping Data or Todd. Data has had a much longer run, but he's involved in a few player organizations so he still has a lot to work with. Todd is having some trouble settling in after being in his previous game for so long - he's having trouble getting over it, and I'm having trouble finding direction for him here. At the same time, I don't really want to give up on Todd here so quickly.
That's just sort of my own analysis of things. I dunno, thoughts are welcome as always, of course, and discussion is always a thing that can help. The takeaway here is that Dexter is definitely safe for the time being, I'm aware of activity issues, and I am determined to take action to fix things.
I think that's where I'm at.

Character: neil a. perry | dead poets society + POLYchromatic CR | [info]had_not_lived | ☑
Comments: homesick accomplished universe-hopper and ex prep-school suicide.


Overall I have been... kind of struggling lately as is probably obvious. It's worse with Neil, because mostly he still misses the City and he ends up talking about it a lot which makes him more homesick, and it's kind of hard to get him out and about when he's sulky. A lot of the stuff he used to do (putting on plays and whatnot) is really not a viable option in this setting, and while I've tried to throw him at a club or two, a lot of things (like baseball) are primarily handwaved, and a lot of the courses that aren't are ones he wouldn't really be interested in... So, yeah. He's content enough, mostly, but getting AC has been a bit of a scrape.

Ssoooo... I mean, I know that the only thing is "do tags and tag more things" but I've often had a difficult time finding things for him to latch onto... If anyone is interested in some kind of specific plotting thing I'd love to talk about that o/
