October HMD/Plotting
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.

We are very interested in hearing what you think about the game and us as mods. We encourage you to leave any details for problem areas that need to be discussed and/or addressed with any aspect of the game setting, rules, functionality and our modding choices and style. 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.

Comments: Nothing really, just good concrit of either how I'm playing my characters or how I am OOC to deal with. I always want RP to be a good experience for everyone and want to make sure I'm not making it difficult.

On a related note, my husband is going back to Jerusalem this month. We're not sure when yet, but it's throwing my anxiety levels through the roof. It'll likely reflect RP but I don't know how yet.

Comments: I'm forever worried about her voice. When she's on, I feel like she's really on, but most of the time she's just hard to get going and I worry about whether or not she's IC. Last month was hell for me, so I've been super slow and I'm sorry to everyone. Hopefully, this moth will pick back up again.

I'm still working on Siren Clam pearl stuff with her, like the sensing emotions stuff, and that's pretty much on-going, but if there's anything you want to say or think I should be doing that I'm not, feel free to say.

	That is forever how I feel about Sam's voice, but for what it's worth, I think you're on track with her (and TNG is my all-time favorite show)! I like how you've got her set up in the prison and her voice sounds right to me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's really awful when you love the character a lot :c But thank you. I'm trying to get her settled without feeling like it's too much or I'm pushing the counselor part without reaching for things outside of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I was also having a conversation with a friend from another game just the other day about how playing a counselor can be very draining because sometimes other players will just use your character without giving back which would be fair enough in a real world situation with a counselor but not so much in a collaborative game! So, if you ever feel like I'm doing that please let me know! And spreading her wings beyond counseling might help to head that sort of thing off, but I think it also makes sense that as she settles in she's clinging to her strengths. That's probably where she finds the most security.

That does make a lot of sense and maybe that's part of my problem? I don't blame anyone at all and part of the reason I apped her in was because she would have a place and a purpose automatically. I've been trying to think of other things to have her do, but I guess I haven't really gotten her out and about as much as she probably needs. But that's a very good point and I'll have to where else I can throw her in.

	I have to say, and I'm not sure if this is a thing with me or if it happens to others, but when I thread with Deanna, I heard Marina Sirtis' voice in my head, accent and all. And I love it. ^_^ It's been ages since I've seen TNG, too, so I'm happy when I get the chance to play. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	counselled 2014-10-03 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	That really makes me feel better. Thank you ♥ Her voice just morphs around sometimes and then I worry when she's not as loud as I'd like if I'm having her too integrated or not integrated enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-10-05 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm really enjoying her, and I think she and Martha can connect on a professional level and friendship level that Martha kind of needs at this point in time. And the siren clam stuff is fine. Though she should probably stay clear of Mal who is in a completely self-destructive rut at the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	counselled 2014-10-06 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, absolutely! I think Deanna could use it, too. Sob, Mal. She's working on figuring it out :c All this anger is distressing lol (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-10-07 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Yay for Martha friends! And getting Mal to just regularly angry instead of murderous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! Slowly, Mal. It will happen ;; Hopefully (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hee... Martha's currently plotting with Ianto to somehow steal Jack's and flush it down the toilet or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Comments: Not really many comments on my end for HMD.

For plotting, I'm looking for just about anything, but some negative CR would be different. I have a lot of positive stuff. Hit me up. :D

Comments: Not looking for anything in particular here, but concrit is always welcome!

I'm having a lot of fun with Jack at the moment, despite being very off and on again with tagging due to crazy amounts of stuff going on in RL (none of which is going to quieten down until after Christmas, at the earliest). Plans for the immediate future involve working through the aftermath of having regressed to his younger self with Ianto and Spike, which I'm hoping is going to help him recognise the effect the red pearls are having on him.

After which, hopefully he'll get talking to some of the people who've been investigating the pearls and they start working on how to deal with them at last. I'd kind of like to get that sorted in the not too distant future. There's only so much aggression one can play out before it gets a little wearing, fun as it is!

	Jack! I'm loving and Jack and Nico's interactions so far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-10-08 09:54 am UTC (link)
	I am too! It's not a friendship I saw coming at all (mainly because I knew absolutely nothing about Nico until he contacted Jack about Spike's soul) but I am really loving the way that's working out and looking forward to developing it further once Jack's got his red pearls and the grottiness they're causing out of the way. :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-10-05 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	Can I just say I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one finding the aggression fun but wearing? I'd almost forgotten about Mal's red pearl, and then Inara disappeared and holy shit he's going to kill himself if he keeps up the way he is. And as always, I love your Jack. He's basically the reason I joined the game in the first place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-10-08 09:56 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, love. :-) Well, Jack is now getting close to figuring out the pearl thing, with Ianto's help, so as soon as he actually manages to get rid of his I'll have him advise Mal to do the same! :-) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-10-08 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	Heh... Martha's telling Ianto maybe they should steal it while Jack's sleeping... (Reply to this) (Parent)

Comments: Con-crit is more than welcome - especially with Carol, as I'm still figuring her out. I want/need to get her more involved with Things. The more I play her, the more comfortable I feel with her. I want her to start a class.

Nico's got his new store, and his pink pearl (that I sometimes forget about...) I'm having a lot of fun with his progress.

Comments: oh gosh so much drama lately. I've had a lot going on with all of mine over the last few months, and I'd really like to know if you guys think I keep them approachable enough? Are they still easy to tag or am I becoming too exclusive?

I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH YOU KNOW THIS. Also, I may have said this before but I cannot compliment you enough on the way you play Spike. Maybe it's just because he so popular but for whatever reason I have been in so many rps with poorly played Spikes that it is so refreshing to get to intact with one who is so spot on. You do a phenomenal job with his voice.

Also I love all the others and you are getting hungover Phanan/Chuck action brace for it now.

	aaaaah that is so good to hear! No lie, I'm constantly fretting over him because he's so complex and so difficult to get right, especially now that I've completely gone off the canon-rails. It's very reassuring to hear that you think I'm still doing it right! my body is ready (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What she said. Your Spike is fantastic. As are all your characters. :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)
