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!

• 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.

Complex characters are often the most satisfying to play - and to play with - so yes, that is probably a lot of what I like about him. (Hell, it's what I like about Jack too!)

I have to say, the slowness of several players *does* impact me when I'm choosing which threads to go into, especially in a game like this where there's a LOT of emphasis on moving forward, because of the ACs and the constant new game-wide plots etc. I do tend to avoid tagging people I know are likely to be slow - and if I do tag them (or they tag me) I tend to avoid getting into anything that would impact later threads, which I'll admit does impact on the fun I can have because god, do I love to make Jack suffer!

That said, as I said above, I completely understand and sympathise with slowness and would never not play with anyone because they're slow. It just limits what I'll play with them. But if at some point we both find ourselves with a bit more time (and in my case, fewer threads) I would love to do a proper big thread with consequences with Piter. :-)

aaaand of course i wind up responding to this belatedly, but on the bright side school is no longer bludgeoning me with quite the same ferocity, so i can actually get back to devoting time to rp for a little while (until may, sob. then the bludgeoning begins anew). again, thank you again for understanding! i appreciate it. ♥

i definitely get your point about the impact of slowness though, since you're right that it can be difficult for things to carry on really slowly given the pace of marina. but i would definitely love to plot and thread more as well, whenever we're both up to it! c:
