This too

This is a post where you can see how you're doing in the eyes of your fellow roleplayers. This can be how well you're playing your character, as well as playing in general.

1. You can post your character, their journal, and their canon in any way that suits you.

2. Be open minded, no one is above learning to be better, not even the mods.

3. Give some constructive criticism! Do it in journal or anon if you feel more comfortable. Absolutely positively no bashing and being unhelpful. On the other hand, don't take crit as a clue to OMG LEAVE AND NEVAR COME BACK or reason it all away as character development without listening to it. Improving is a good thing!

4. It's up to you to let people know what you think. This is your chance to tell people what you think of how they're playing, Even if you don't know the series, you can tell a player how you view the character based on how you've played them and they can compare it to canon. This can be in the form of, "Post moaaaar~" or "We never finish plots! :<" or even "You do a good job at following HP canon!"

5. This is NOT MANDATORY. It is however, HIGHLY encouraged for everyone to participate in. Sometimes it's helpful to get input from people who have seen you in action, so try not to be afraid of it. You might hear good things as well!

6. You guys are full of love, feel free to say that you like someone's character. Just do it constructively, give reasons why you like the character, no just "I love your Muse and you're the best one ever!" Everyone has room for improvement.

7. Please don't spam. We love you, but there are plenty of other places for that!

8. There is a mod hmd for crit regarding us specifically and a general game hmd for anything from "Too many of you are whores and you don't use enough British slang" to "We want more crack events '^'". So this is for general stuff you'd like to see in the game from fellow players (without pointing fingers) as well as how you'd like to see the game improve how its run.

Oh, that makes a lot of sense! I think it's neat of you to do, too.

Just throwing my two cents in.

What you say makes tons of sense! But that's also pretty much how cliques are formed :c And I really don't want our HS cast to come off like a clique that only tags with each other.
So please don't avoid our entries just because there's a lot of people tagging! It would honestly add a lot of variety.

I know this goes both ways though and while I try to tag as much as I can, I've been a little busy lately and it's been easier to tag with the cast. But I do plan on fixing that as soon as possible!

That's a really good point, too...

Honestly I'm kind of annoyed by the suggestion that tagging small posts over larger ones is "how cliques are formed." What Adele is talking about is basically the opposite of cliquish behavior. If the Homestuck cast doesn't want to come off as cliquey, they need to be the ones tagging out first. Not saying you don't! Because I don't think the cast *is* particularly cliquey. But its up to the cast to regulate its own behavior, not blame others for making them "appear" cliquish because they'd rather spend time on people who seem less popular already.

Sorry this is late, I didn't get the notif.

And I'm also sorry for saying what I did. I just have such a huge fear of us being a clique that I guess I didn't think it through entirely. You're right, it's not fair of me to blame (though I didn't mean it that way, I do realize it came off that way) other people for it. I'm sorry Adele, I didn't mean anything mean to you or to anyone.

My goal is to not have cliques at all, I've just not been going about trying to achieve that properly and I think I've had a bit of a screwed up idea of how they work in general and how to fix them. Again, I'm sorry for my original comment.

It's fine! I can understand how you would jump to that conclusion, since we're dealing with pretty vaguely-defined concepts.
