Well okay, look, it seems every game has its players bitching about the mods. It's just something I've come to expect, that mods are distant, or inept, or two-faced, or inconsistent, or slow, or whatever.
BUT. Not here.
Even when I was co-modding a game (and please don't ever make me tell you about that dark, dark time in my life) I've never played in a game where I have felt so WELCOME. You guys are so freaking nice that I can't even deal, srsly. Also, the plots and glitches are fresh, you give us amazingly free reign with our own stuff, you're active with chat/ooc/questions/in-game, the sites are expertly maintained, the activity checks make sense, and the rules/info are so clear and detailed that even my anal-retentive nitpicking self can't find fault. I have no idea how you do it all but I'm so glad you do. <3<3
My activity has been abysmal, I know. The house stuff just sapped all my attention/will/drive/whatever. Here's hoping once that's all settled I'm better. I'm also looking at pruning the cast list soon, so that's something too. :/
Anyway, yes! Crit, comments, questions, whatever. And if you have any mod-specific crit, toss that at me too.
I have to say I love Damon's snark, despite having seen very little of the show. To me, it looks and feels like you're capturing his peculiar mix of cheeky little brat and really really old vampire.
The dynamics between him and his brother always reminds me of Lestat and Louis (albeit a very different context) - and you capture that very well, too. You and Stefan-mun both!
Iiiiihaven't seen much of the others to point out what it is that I like about your way of playing/writing them, but I'll get back to you on that. :3
What can I say, dude? You know my love for your Sookie and her banter with Eric is always something I get jazzed up for. I've always enjoyed that you play her as she is in the show and not fawning all over Eric like any other Sookie I've seen. It's awesome to play off of and I like seeing their relationship build from that.
As for Faith, I haven't had the chance to interact with her much, but what little we've done has been fun. I think Eric likes her. He definitely likes that she and Godric are sort of together. She would make an awesome vampire. As for what I think of her, I got nothing but love. She's just so real. Better than she was in the show, in my opinion, and no other Faith I've seen has even come close to being as good as yours. I do want Eric and Faith to chat more, so when life is less awful for you, we should definitely work on that. <3

After Dru's thread with Damon, I had to start watching The Vampire Diaries. I love him to pieces and, now I know who he actually is, I love him even more.

Your Angela!brand wit is KICK-ASS!
That is all. I'll think of something more to say when I'm recovered from waking up at bleep o'clock in the morning, completely unable to go back to sleep, apparently.
I love how you balance Angie's trolling and her wicked side with how genuinely caring she is; I think you strike the perfect balance of those dual qualities, not too trolly or too sweet. SHE IS PERFECT.
Selfishly I think The Ship Henceforth Known as Operation Pantsless Disastuh is just amazing. I love how I can play some of Damon's more hidden stuff with her, under the guise of ~keeping their cover~. I am super excited for Faith and Angie, and Dawn will of course glom onto her post pause glitch.
Re: StarrahgogogidgetOctober 23 2010, 10:19:33 UTC
CAN I JUST SAY I love how you play Ange off River?
And additionally but unrelated, I am v. happy to see how you handle her sexuality and just treat it as what it is without shying away from playing it out, without toning it down or making it weird. It is refreshing and lovely.
But oh God, I am so jazzed about your Wyatt. He was my favorite in the series, and from what I've seen so far you have him down.
Re: Honeythorn. I have not stalked nearly enough (and I apologize for dropping that thread with him and Damon; life has been something close to utterly insane lately and I've been the worst at reliability) but what I've seen I have very much liked. And I'm looking forward to more trolling, always and forever amen.
Aw, you're making me blush! Let's just hope I can keep up the IC mojo. :3 Thank you so much for the lovely comment.
Also, Damon is such a little brat in that thread over there. It's making Cain go o_O;; and I'm about THIS SURE he'll become vamp fodder first night he takes a step outside the palace. (Which, you know, I wouldn't mind. Technically)
Re: Honeythorn - don't worry! It's fine by me. And it's not as though I suck at keeping tags going every now and then. With Wyatt, I decided to do my best not to drop them, and so far, I haven't left anyone hanging too long. I feel quite accomplished. :D
BUT DO YOU HAVE A P-P-P-POKERFACEthesecondslayerOctober 22 2010, 10:15:44 UTC
MAX: I love Max, I do. I think you're prooooooooooobably the best Max player I've seen in the arpee lands. I think you do an awesome job of blending her toughness with the vulnerability of... being trapped and confused, yet again. And we need to do more together, once I get my shit together again and am better at. Tagging. >.>
ELENA: Hands down, best Elena around, and I say that with complete certainty. You don't go the road I see a lot, and excuse all her mistakes and flaws; your Elena is a fully realized teenage girl who is charming and sweet and yet still human. Selfishly, I lahv lahv LAHV bouncing Damon off her, and only can demand MORE TAGS.
...Also, somehow? Elephants will come into play again. YOU KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK.
Angela: I have not seen Constantine is AGES AND EONS but from what I did retain, your Angela is fab. Yet again I need to tag her more, and when life calms down we can have ~doppelganger shenanigans~ with adult!Dawn.
I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE, ELENA.sunkistOctober 24 2010, 06:25:16 UTC
CAAAAAR. Oh, where to start. I'll tackle the giiiirlfrand first. Your Elena is seriously the one that I compare all other portrayals to. Like Sarah said, you don't make excuses for her when she messes up or try to justify her being horrible (let's face it, everyone on this show is capable of being horrible, sob). She's got her downsides and her ups, and you play both of those, which makes her come off as much more of a real teenage girl and not a caricature of what television wants us to believe teenage girls are. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, OTHER CW SHOWS.) I am so very blessed to get to play Stefan against your Elena, even if they might one day kill us of cuteness

Also, please disregard my run-on sentence. >_>

I hate her no that is an utter lie.
