Kelly, my dear. ♥ You're such a lovely thing. Your characters are lovely, your characterization is deep and complex, and your writing is excellent. What's more, you do so damn much for this game and for everyone in it - not just as a mod, but also as a player. You offer plots generously, and the plots are fascinating and creative and exciting. I respect, too, just how much you always bring to the table in terms of that creativity: you try so much that so many other people wouldn't have the ambition to try, and that's so cool to see.

My one crit for you! I'd say be careful sometimes - your tags in threads sometimes get a bit...breathless, I suppose? With Daedalus especially, he sometimes asks so many questions and says so many things all at once. I think you do this deliberately, and it's a really interesting point of characterization, but at times it sort of leaves the other character at a loss, because it gets hard to respond without the response getting disorganized and stilted. It's definitely an interesting thing to do! For the sake of the other player, however, it might be best to limit it a bit.

♥ Thank you!! I love this game, and want to see it do well, with everybody enjoying themselves as much as possible for the long haul.

*nod* Yeah, Daedalus is...Daedalus is somewhat-deliberately played that way- I know I have him often rapidfiring questions with Edgeworth in particular because it's better to dodge interrogation turned on himself by posing all the questions first. As far as blowing through several things at once, it's probably a bit of his habitual isolation showing- now that he does say things out loud, he struggles to keep his mouth at not only the same pace as his mind but in a way that's understandable to the person he's speaking with. So yep, this is at least partially something I'm aware of as a character choice, but if that is proving detrimental to carrying IC conversations to the point of player confusion and irritation, I will definitely try to pull it back a bit.

Not confusion or irritation, so don't think that for a moment. ♥ It's just the drawback of the medium, really - after the second or third question, someone like Edgeworth would definitely interrupt him, but there's no ability to do that in LJ-style posting. So I def. understand what you're doing, but I guess allow a bit of leeway for responses and all of that.
