Luceti / Luceti Mods

Concrit for us, the game, whatever.

I really think you guys could have done better with the timing of the event this month. Right before a player plot that had a very large number of sign ups really was not the best timing in the world and on top of that it was being run while the AC was running

[truthget]

This has actually been stated to death already in other places, so we're well aware of the issue, but thank you for making note of it here. The reason it was done at this time was to avoid having the non-drafted or combative characters with nothing to do for a second month in a row.

Yes, we know that an event should have been run during May. Our bad. But between the multiple hiatuses and other obligations going on at the time, plus just finishing up apps, we hadn't been able to get together and discuss a lot of modstuff until it was time for the draft to get organized. These things do happen, and unfortunately sometimes the timing just can't be right for everyone.

To set the event right after Mu's plot would have still avoided the issue of there being two months in a row with nothing to do. That said the past year we lived throw a few months with no events or drafts, which was when people started with a lot of player posts and you guys yourself commented on how great that was. And we all survived those months.

You're right, the timing can't be right for everyone but with when it was announced (just a day before it started) and everything else it mostly sounds as if you guys didn't even bother to consider the timing, how squatters could use it to pass the ongoing AC or how it would clutter the month. I'm not saying that was the case, I know you guys consider those things a lot and seriously, but it's still the impression that is given which is why I'm mentioning it. No matter how great the mods are or a game setting is, if players get the impression

Right up front, I would like to mention that I'm aware that I have not been the world's greatest at keeping threads going as long as is customary here. There's a whole host of reasons for that, most of which I imagine would be kind of boring to hear me tl;dr about, so I'll just say that I've got it in mind, have been working on it, and plan to continue working on it.

I really have no concrit for Kay at all. And I have heard rumors that a love meme is going to be going up next weekend. That means I can gush later.

So I just have to say FOR NOW: I find her completely charming to stalk and well written. It's kind of unbelievable really, how far you have taken a one-episode character, and how well you are making her work in the game. I am not sure there is a "customary" thread length in Luceti; a lot of it depends on IC motivations and situations. Some end up super long and others end up short and some in the middle. Sometimes things get handwaved. Hopefully that kind of thing will get more comfortable for you the longer you are in the game!!!!! <3

[poorneedyand]

That's so kind of you to say--thank you! I'm so pleased that she's fitting in at Luceti, because playing her is one of the most fun things I've done in a long time. ♥

And by "customary," I suppose I just mean...threads here tend to go on much longer than in other games in which I've played. (The idea that I have multiple posts here with more than 200 comments on them is still completely unreal to me. That's never, ever happened to me before.) Which is really cool--I love building rapport--but it also means that I don't quite have the tagging endurance for this game yet. I've dropped more tags than I think is appropriate, and I'm concerned that it's coming off as flaky. :/ tl;dr: I worry a lot about these sorts of things and really don't want people to think I'm purposely blowing them off.

[i_speak_softly]

I am totally impressed by your Kay. She's one of those characters who needs to be not only IC but historically accurate, and I can tell you're doing your research. Many many points for that.

I think that's all I have to say.

Ahaha I'm so glad of that! And I am totally loving our CR, I can't wait to thread more |D

[one_green_eye]

I know I gushed about Suki last HMD-- but I have to specifically say that her latest post offering combat-training was fantastic both from an IC and a RPing perspective. I could really hear that strong-warrior side that's so much a part of her in canon.

Love.

Pure and utter love.

I've enjoyed stalking Mildmay so much. While I don't know his canon, his voice is distinct, your tags give people loooots to work off of, and you have an obvious grasp of his canon and thought processes.

My hat is off to you, sir. Or would be, if I had a hat.

[ohmykethe]

Hee, I'm glad that you like him. I always try to have, idk, usable tags, so it's good to know that comes across. Thank you!

[poppetry]

Oh my god. Mildmay is joy. I keep trying to figure out how to tag him, but I play a Disney kid. ;~; IT'S HARD. Someday, man...

[interstellars]

I haven't gotten a chance to tag caroline yet, but I love having her around the game and stalk her like mad! I don't know canon well enough to crit or anything, but she's a really funny, interesting, and just fun character to have around.

[sunkist]

Aw, thank you! It makes me happy to hear that people are enjoying her! ♥

[saltprince]

I constantly desire more Caroline in my life. Constantly. More so the stalking with other people but the interactional things are good too. I admire the sense of irreverence you're pulling off with her. I've never seen/read The Vampires Dairies, but it must be a very modern show and you're expressing that well.
