HOW'S MY DRIVING?

Happy New Year to everyone in Cosmographia, and welcome to our first ever game-wide How's My Driving post! This is a venue for the players of Cosmographia to give and receive feedback on their roleplaying here in the game. Critique and praise are both welcome here -- this is, after all, a feedback post.

Posting to the HMD is not mandatory. This is simply a place for our players to get some feedback on how they've been playing if they'd like to get some!

You can post to the HMD using the following form:

<b>Name:</b> (Your name!) <b>Characters In-Game:</b> Character Name (<user name=journal name>) (Who are you currently playing in Cosmographia?) <b>Other Methods of Contact:</b> (What's the best way to contact you? Do you have a private HMD you would prefer people to use?) <b>Notes:</b> (Are there any things in your RPing you're aiming to improve? Anything you'd like specific feedback on?)

As this is our first HMD, anon commenting will not be enabled and sock accounts will not be allowed. This may be subject to change in future, depending on player feedback.

Again, Happy New Year to everyone and thank you for sticking with us through it!

Nabi | Karkat Vantas

[crabmunicator]

Name: Nabi
Characters In-Game: Karkat Vantas (crabmunicator)
Other Methods of Contact: alchemicalheart, and I've got an HMD here, but replying to this comment is perfectly fine!
Notes: New to the game, but it's been a while since I've played Karkat fresh from canon (about a year), so some feedback on how I'm doing there would be nice. I feel pretty confident, but hey, outside eyes can't hurt.

Name: Pedro
Characters In-Game: Connie! (connie_maheswaran)
Other Methods of Contact: elpedrososama on email, PLURK and AIM.
Notes: Just hope I'm doing right by her!

[unit31]

Name: Claire
Characters In-Game: Labrys (unit31), Super Sonico (torya)
Other Methods of Contact: PMing one of my journals is the best way, currently! If you have me added on plurk (monocleclaire) then you can also send me a PP there. As for a private HMD, Labrys and Sonico both have HMD/contact posts!
Notes: As well as general RP feedback, I'd also like to note that Cosmographia is my first real mod outing and I'd like to hear how I'm doing! Is there anything I'm doing particularly well that you'd like more of, anything I'm flubbing on that you guys think I need to improve? Any feedback you guys have for me at all would be totally fantastic!

Revise | Shun Kurosaki

[revolutionfalcon]

Name: Revise
Characters In-Game: Shun Kurosaki (revolutionfalcon)
Other Methods of Contact: For general stuff, reviseleviathan, and Shun has a private HMD.
Notes: I've been around a lot less than I'd like recently due to various reasons, and it might affect how much feedback some can provide.

Olivia | Beatrice

[dirteater]

Name: Olivia
Characters In-Game: Beatrice (dirteater)
Other Methods of Contact: plurk: sugarspankhorn
Notes: Beatrice at this canon point is a little tough to pin down because a lot of the reason she acts the way she does is due to circumstance. Taking away those circumstances what are you left with? I'm playing her under a lot of assumptions and I wonder if she reads like herself to outside parties. I have so many doubts when playing Beatrice and I would really like some feedback. Please be harsh I need that shit.

[hasmovedon]

Name: Ink
Characters In-Game: Roland Deschain (hasmovedon)
Other Methods of Contact: You can PM me, hit up on plurk at mister_inkwell. Roland doesn't have a private HMD because I'm a lazy dingus.
Notes: Honestly, I think I'm doing pretty good on an IC front, but if there's anything you've noticed ooc (wonky writing, not leaving enough hooks, etc) please let me know! (And if there's anything on and IC front give me that too, Roland is a weird and complicated character and I'll take all the advice I can get).

[0hyes]

Name: Maya
Characters In-Game: Mettaton (0hyes)
Other Methods of Contact: PM this account or hit me up at Mayalex.
Notes: I'm relatively new here, but any and all crit is appreciated! I also have a personal HMD right here!

[cyan_maid]

Name: Elaine
Characters In-Game: Jane Crocker (cyan_maid), Thida (agent3), and Asriel Dreemurr (better2do)
Other Methods of Contact: My Plurk or PMing one of my characters' journals is the best ways of contacting me. Jane, Thida, and Asriel each have their own personal HMD posts that are also great places to leave feedback. Either way, I welcome feedback on all fronts!
Notes: I really want specific feedback on Asriel - I feel like my voice with him is very shaky and some outside perspective would be really great.

[dirteater]

hey xiil! you know how picky i am about stan so i'm gonna give you some honest feedback.

you're doing great, honestly! really keeping with the tone of the show while also adapting it to this new setting. though i sometimes notice that your voice gets a little weaker as a thread gets deeper and to be real i suffer from that too. if you're feeling like that then you should just give this a quick listen as a refresher! keep on keepin on, bud.

[goodguygrifter]

Thanks, I will definitely listen to that! I'm not really that observant so I haven't noticed that happening, do you have any examples of how it gets weaker so I know what to look out for? Also, what do you mean by deeper? Like, more serious?

[dirteater]

i cant give you crit on an ic front but, as i've said many times before, your roland has such a solid and distinct voice and the way you write him makes him seem like a real person. and i think at the end of the day that's what most of us strive for so!! congratchen you done it.

on an ooc front your writing is superb and you always make sure to add some kind of hook to your replies which makes it so much easier for everyone involved. i really have nothing critical to say honestly?? if i had to be a stickler some thread conclusions feel unsatisfying but that might just be my personal taste talking and honestly it's nothing to get hung up on. youre a good egg.

[dirteater]

i moreso meant "depth" as in "more replies in!" but i guess now that you mention it sometimes on a more serious front things can also get muddled. in fact that might be what i as leaning more towards when i thought that. REGRETTABLY i don't really have examples because it's more of a.. feeling i guess? golly that sounds silly and like i'm just talking about nothing but i guess sometimes things start to sound more.. generic? which is sometimes hard to avoid in a rather generic conversation thread. the two sometimes go hand in hand. i guess it's being aware of that that's half the battle. does that help at all? i'm sorry for my lack of specifics.

Name: Jormy
Characters In-Game: Susan Delgado (girl_at_the_window)
Other Methods of Contact: jormandugr
Notes: I'm aware my activity's been pretty shaky ever since I joined. Sorry about that.

[goodguygrifter]

I'll try to keep a look out for it, thanks! Let me know next time you see a tag where you feel that way and I'll try to figure out what I need to cut out or change about his personality or just keep an eye on.

Re: Olivia | Beatrice

[girl_at_the_window]

i want to be harsh but every time i try to put together a scathing critique it winds up dissolving into flailing about lesbirds. oops. welp.

[girl_at_the_window]

Your Roland is a joy to play against. Seriously. You have just the right balance of brooding manpain and noodly fainting dork, and I love it. I am trying to think of critiques but... honestly, nah. You keep doing what you're doing, Ink. it is a++++.

[dirteater]

PUT TOGETHER A SCATHING CRITIQUE AND SPRINKLE IN LESBIRDS

[girl_at_the_window]

MY SCATHING CRITIQUE IS THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH LESBIRDS

Notes: Nothing in particular. Bring it on!

[cuteandquarky]

Name: Stripe
Characters In-Game: Jade Harley (cuteandquarky)
Other Methods of Contact: tehstripe or PMs to this journal!
Notes: Let me know if my Jade characterization seems a bit off - I've been writing her for so long in various AUs that I worry that I get a little too caught up in my own headcanons sometimes. Also, just general RP critique! I'm still kinda-sorta new to dreamwidth, so let me know if I'm doing something kind of weird. (also i am sorry that my tagging speed is wildly inconsistent, holidays are awful)

Name: Chinchilla
Characters In-Game: Komasan (monge)
Other Methods of Contact: I have an anon-enabled HMD on this journal, or you could shoot me a PM either here or at Gesomon!
Notes: I'm new to the game, but you can still tell me things!
