Game-wide 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!
[Feel free to add 4th Wall characters]

• 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.

no. get out.

jk jk

in all seriousness, i am incredibly blessed to have such a fantastic castmate - and twice over, to! i know i say this every time a hmd or a love meme of any kind comes up, but thank you for enabling me to this place. it's become my home game and i absolutely love it here, and that's in part thanks to your characters.

your buffy has always been one of my favorites. i admire how you strive to make her grow without losing sight of herself, something i feel you're doing so much better than the glimpses of expanded universe canon i've seen. her development seems so real and it's nice to see buffy handling things like an actual adult, yet still reacting very buffy-ish.

and eric is a big stupid jerk who needs to do us all a favor and go jump into a sea of liquid silver - which is totally a compliment, btw. he's a giant asshole, and that's so ic for him. you don't hold back with his dickish tendencies, and that's a trap i've seen other eric players over the years fall into, possibly out a desire not to create conflict or build up lots of negative cr. you don't seem afraid of either of those things, so major kudos for just flooring it with him when you've got the chance to. ALSO in not forgetting he's a viking: you're doing it oh so right. the fact that eric's old and has seen and done so much while never really shedding his roots is something i feel a lot of people forget about in favor of focusing on other aspects of his character. you're remembering it, while balancing it well with all this other traits. so really, bravo!

i haven't interacted with rogue as much as i'd like to, despite playing her facetwin. this is something we should remedy.

You always leave me the most beautiful things. I am so very glad you joined us here so I will take partial credit for that :D

Thank you! Yeah I'm trying to make sure she's evolving and maturing and becoming an adult without losing her Buffy-ness. I'm really happy to see you think I'm doing it right. That means a lot.

/flails THANK YOU SO MUCH as a new character of course that's wonderful to hear. All of his layers and his vikingness are so much fun to play and if I'm very honest, the negative cr might be something I felt different about in any other game. In my experience, the players in Marina handle it really well and I'm comfy enough to act on it. It's fun to be an asshole when you know people know that it's the character and are accepting of it. Thank you thank you thank you

Yes! Agreed.

i'm going to start leaving you videos of interpretive dance to convey my feelings, as words are not enough.

yes, this. so much this. i know exactly what you mean. i feel worlds of less apprehensive about having angel be a dick to people here when he's not feeling like catering to the masses, or when quinn's got on her bitchy shoes. it's nice to be able to play your character ic without people taking personal offense here. it's wonderful to be in a game where the player base at large seems to get that ic =/= ooc.

	ahaha I shall eagerly await this. Exactly! It's one of my favorite things about this game. Also, before I forget, I know you know a great deal more Viking history than I do SO don't be afraid to shoot me an IM or an email and say jsyk that history is wrong. I bullshit a lot with what I do know and kind of expand on it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
