⚔ HOW'S MY DRIVING? ⚔

Welcome to Exsilium's game-wide HMD! These will now be occurring once every two months, instead of once every three.

How It Works:

The gamewide HMD is an opportunity for players to come together and bring each other feedback about one another's playing. Constructive criticism is encouraged, however what that means is that it must be constructive. If you are going to offer up criticism, we encourage that you provide suggestions to the player within your critique. We are here to improve! It is also acceptable to let someone know if you enjoy their playing, but note that unhelpful or empty responses ("Oh, I love you so much!!", "Your playing is bad and you should feel bad.") without any real substance are discouraged.

If you like what a player is doing, tell them exactly what it is and why! If you have questions about their playing, this is what this forum is for as well.
It is not mandatory, and you have no obligation to respond if you don't wish to.

Anonymous commenting is enabled for the sake of anonymous crit, and IP logging is on for the sake of continued accountability. Only moderators will see IP addresses and they will only be checked if things get out of hand. Please remember to be thoughtful and respectful in your crit-giving. Full Disclosure: The moderator team may still be given anonymous, non-IP logged criticism here at the suggestions page or their personal HMD posts.

Please fill out the form below and leave a comment with your name or handle in the subject line!

Player Name: Alcyone

Character(s) you play:

Arya Stark ★ A Song of Ice and Fire ★ wolfchild
Vanozza Cattaneo ★ The Borgias ★ matre

Personal HMD(s): on their accounts!
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: Yes
Additional Comments: From in-game events and also getting previous game memories, Arya tends to think of herself more as Cat and with close cr as Arya rather than no one. She is still lying to everyone, though, so if what she says happened doesn't match up to what you remember happening, well, there you go.

I'll also be dropping Han which is why I didn't include him above but if there is anything you'd like to offer in regards to him, please do. c:

I've noticed you can often leave brief responses when tagging back others that usually make it difficult to continue a thread, especially if it has yet to reach a resolution. While with Arya this happens often, I've noted this has also been a trend between Vanozza and Han. While it is to my understanding Arya is a closed off character, responses from her are not just brief and unclear in dialogue; there is nothing to work with at all, not even a thought or action bracket to lend a hand toward the other person you're threading with. Again, this is not just with Arya, therefore I think it would be helpful once in a while to try and avoid one word responses from characters where it won't help to carry the thread forward.

On another note, it's come to my attention in that sometimes your responses in turn pay little to no attention to what's been brought up in either conversation or action, the latter more. Either cues are simply left ignored or details are contradicted and threads are no longer following the same wave length. I would caution you to take the extra time to re-read your fellow players' responses before tagging them back as it would help balance both sides of the story.

Thanks for reading.

I am aware of the former, but thank you for bringing it up again. Could I have some examples of the latter?
