How's My Driving + Player Plotting Post

[shadowmods]

 

Time for Throne of Shadow's very first How's My Driving combined with our very first Player Plotting Post!

Here's how this works.  Respond to this post with a comment that includes your character's information, including a synopsis (one or two sentences or a bullet list is fine) about your character.

People can respond with either an HMD, offering praise or constructive criticism of your character, or they can find out who your character is through the synopsis and if they think they have a character who should get some CR with yours, you plan for your characters to meet, make out, try to break out of the Waiting Room, or just interact in general.

Please note if your character is currently in the Dollhouse.  This plot is winding toward a close, and people should be back from it soon.  Don't let it stop you for planning character interactions after the plot finishes!

And, of course, please be courteous with any criticism of other people's characterization or writing.  We're a small game, and we should all try to play nice with others.

ANON IS OFF for this round of HMD.  If you are open to anon crit, feel free to link to an anon-enabled HMD in your personal character journal.

*smileyface* I'm glad you enjoy playing with her. She's one of my faves to play with.

As for the ooc behavior, I'm trying to think of what I may have said that's come across wrong. I think the only time I've actually mentioned ToS game, or Dollhouse in particular was to make a query as to whose turn it was to post.

I'm in a few games, and my comments take all of them into consideration. When I have three games I'm in and I'm not getting tags for most of them, I can get a little frustrated. As for Plurking, it's sort of what it's for as well as gaming. If I feel like venting about game annoyances or rping annoyances, I don't see why I should refrain from putting them on - particularly when I see my timeline flooded by RL rants that are above and beyond TMI, or outright ramblings and griping about things. I'm sorry if my ambiguous posts aren't to your liking, but if I'm feeling particularly disgruntled over something, I don't see why I shouldn't be able to post about it. You're welcome to remove me from your timeline if it bothers you.

I'm not trying to censor you in any manner and I apologise if you think I was trying to. Perhaps our perceptions of what seems passive aggressive are different and there's nothing wrong with that. But all the same I'm going to respectfully step back from this conversation now because there's no way it end positively.

Today is just one of those days. It might not have been your intention, but considering how careful and purposefully non-identifying I am about things when I AM pissed or annoyed and I post about them, it's kind of like hearing someone say "Don't post anything negative ever, because life is full of sunshine and sparkles."

Again, it's probably just me looking at it off today because I'm hot and cranky, but it was very easy to take it as that. For future reference, I'm fine with talking things over. I don't get rageously upset or cry emo tears. I prefer if things happen that they get resolved to avoid festering and hurt feelings. Misunderstandings and lack of communication can really screw up not only games, but any relationships you have with characters/players. If you have a question about something I'm saying or if I say/write something that upsets or offends you, let me know. PM me if you don't want it to be a public chat, or private plurk me, but I'd rather you TELL me as opposed to getting upset about it and holding it against me. I can't know I've done something if I'm not informed, you know?
