FIRST OFF: INTERNET DRAMA AND YOU! And if this is your first round, you might want to take a look at HOW TO GIVE AND TAKE CRITICISM. Given those a read?

Good. Now let's start.

I want to say that on the whole, I approve of how you guys tackled the very daunting task of rewriting the reality of the entire game universe to upgrade its worldbuild, and I think the changes you made shows your responsiveness to player ideas.

I am also curious whether you have an idea of when the FAQ rewrite will be complete?

[capemods]

Thank you very much for your feedback! As for the FAQ rewrite, depending on how this weekend goes it should be done by early next week--if the weekend is particularly crazy, however, it'll be a little later.

[nottheanswers]

I love everything you do, though I was wondering about the city map and what kind of progress that project that had undergone or will. Also if it does get picked up again if there's anything I can do to help?

Other comments? Selina's been in the City since October of 2008 and has been through a LOT. Currently a reserve League member, teaching self defense to orphans, and involved with Batman. Sometimes I feel like I'm going too "good" with her, even though she's been played as a hero/anti-hero in the comics for a while. Canon-wise, she's from early in the second issue of Gotham City Sirens, post-Battle for the Cowl, though I'm debating updating her at some point. Possibly to when she has no memories of Batman to shake things up because I'm horrible.

I'm thinking I'd like to bring the Shadow Girls out more. Maybe make a request post where people could ask for them to foreshadow (heh) their player plots instead of just sticking to moderator plots which aren't too frequent. Thoughts?

[loves_war]

I thoroughly approve of this foreshadowing post and would make very enthusiastic use of it because I love the Girls and would like to see more of them as well. The only issue with that is that players of other prophetic characters might want to get in on the ominous foreshadowing action without competing with mod-NPCs. Maybe make a request post linking all interested clairvoyant characters for all foreshadowing needs? I know keeping that updated with apps and drops would be a chore, though.

[meowminx]

It is definitely something to take into consideration! Right now I guess I was mostly thinking of how to make interesting (IMO) NPCs more accessible to the game at large. And oh boy, your plots would be fun to write shadow plays for XD

[thanoodles]

You've always been kind to me and Selina's progress continues to be engaging and a treat to follow. I AM SUCH A USELESS BUTT but I can't go beyond that without canon knowledge (not that I need it because I highly doubt you're anything less than amazing).

Danny is taking a break because my drive for him has slowed to a stop and I'm trying to get that back.
Zoro and Pete are the hardest voices for me, so if you have crit for either of them, I appreciate it!
Baroona is really quiet and hard to get involved, but I'm gonna keep trying! Because I love him.

[meowminx]

I really enjoy the CR with Danny and Selina. And I appreciate that you structured things so well while you're taking a break so the other dojo peeps weren't left hanging. Hope you get that drive back!

[badumtish]

I REALLY LOVE ALL THE CR DANNY HAS especially with Selina so I'm like I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DROP HIM. So I'm hoping this will get me back in the groove.

Also you should totally credit that dojo thing to Iola she kind of saved my ass.

[meowminx]

Well also blowing up the original dojo and the vacation and everything.

SHOCKWAVE [timeline: vol.2 issue #6 page 14]
He's slowly coming to terms with the fact that, Soundwave probably won't be coming back. As such he's trying to return to a more logical state, and complete his primary function... While being insane in private and working on ways to alter time and get Soundwave back. Yeah. So he should start randomly talking to people over the comms again.

CHESHIRE [timeline: escape from wonderland issue #3]
He's been terribly inactive. Apologies to those I owe tags to, I will get to them promise. Trying to get voice back to actually tag.

[loves_war]

I miss seeing Shockwave around the comms, and hope that you're able to get him tagging around again. Same for Cheshire! I have enjoyed hideous lustful Shockwave and Slipstream, too.

Other comments? I've dropped the ball with a lot of activity lately. Idk, I'm trying to get better but work is a killer.

[loves_war]

I enjoyed our post-death thread between Pietro and Calvin, and I think you played Pietro's reaction to Angelica's demise and return very well. I've also just been enjoying Strange in general.

[yacchan]

I really enjoyed the little scene with Pietro and Calvin too. Hopefully the silver lining of the trauma will be that they're a little closer now.

I'd actually love for all three (Angie, Pietro, and Calvin) to go on some family fun times adventures. Like to the Bronx Zoo or one of the museums or something.

[thanoodles]

Pietro and Stephen are so classy. When I first saw a text thread with Momoko (I don't remember who she was talking to BUT IT DON'T MATTER) I'm pretty sure I almost spat my drink. IT WAS SO UNEXPECTED AND I LOVED IT.
