The Official HMD and Plotting Page for Wanda!

I'm always working to improve my performance of my little Gothling Wanda, and so I'd appreciate any questions, comments or pointers you feel like throwing my way. Some notes, however:
In lastvoyages  Wanda managed to survive October, only to run into more trouble when Rex Lewis's escape attempt damaged the Barge and cast everyone into the Land of the Dead.

Sorry to bring this up, but the most recent events with Wanda - I understand that this is likely something that needed to happen for the development you wanted, but as far as I can tell nobody was given any OOC cues that Wanda might be missing until Tony and Bruce's posts, which were made after the fact. There was nothing in the OOC community, no note attached to her log with Franklin, and it's not unlike Wanda to not post anything for two days.

This is kind of upsetting to me because I assume that Iroh still meditates with her regularly, or at least checks on her every day or two, and now all I can really do is retroactively Barge-coma him to account for this lack of attentiveness on his part. I'm sure there are friends of Wanda's who would notice her absence who are now in similar positions.

As I say, I understand where this has come from and it's not really possible to do anything about it now, but it's unfair for one character to blame others for something that the players had no way of knowing about in time to react to it.

Obviously, if I'm wrong and there was an OOC announcement made that I've missed (due to RL stuff I haven't been as attentive as usual) then I apologise.

D8 You have a point, and frankly, I feel like I dropped the ball on this. Yes there were other people involved in running the plot, but when they didn't put up any mention of the plot I should have. I got distracted due to all the IC mess and then port, but that is no excuse.

FTR people actually started looking for her after about a day; it just took two days for her to actually be found. It shouldn't be necessary to retroactively barge-coma anyone, certainly!

Wanda's blame-slinging is only righteous to a point--the girl is freaking out completely and screaming at people. She is being hysterical, generalizing, exaggerating and obsessing. Is her accusation fair? Hell no. But she's not very connected to reality right now.

I'm sorry for how I handled this, and will make sure that the ooc notice is the first thing that goes up next time one of my characters gets involved in a major plot.
