EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

Sup guys, time for the How's My Driving meme at Route! Remember: play nice and keep it civil.

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is encouraged, not mandatory. We will not penalize you for not using it.
→ Feel free to link your personal HMDs if you would like, just in case someone doesn't want to use the mass HMD post.
→ this is more for actual critique and discussion. Please don't just blindly praise a person or just call them horrible. If someone's doing a wonderful job, you can tell them, just tell them why, or even where they're showing off bonus perks. If someone's doing a not-so-wonderful job, tell them why, give them things to improve on if you can. Examples, links, things that can give them something to work on. Meaning, no bashing, flaming, or nasty behavior. Please keep it civil.
→ Anonymous is turned on! But note: anonymous is a privilege, not a right. If it's being abused to bash players, please be sure to let one of us know and we'll step in or freeze threads if necessary. If anonymous is abused too much, it will be turned off for the next HMD.
→ Don't take this all too personally! Remember that roleplay is a game, and crit is supposed to help, not make you feel horrible. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

Thank was not helpful what are you thanking me for :/

Yeah idk if you compare all games by Damned's standards I CAN SEE HOW IT WOULDN'T SEEM LARGE TO YOU. But no--the size of the blocks themselves isn't as much the problem as the...idk layout of the post? Just don't plonk dialogue (which is what people try to zone in on) in the middle of description, basically.

And as for the content of the post, I'm definitely not advocating toning/dumbing him down, because that'd be OOC--but maybe like, putting only one question (the most likely to make people react, or the most relevant at the time) in his post, and then pepper the resultant conversations with the other questions he's got to ask? My problem tends to be that I forget what my character wanted to say halfway through, so the conversations would never flow as well as I wanted them. I ended up starting a notepad document in which I put down all of my ideas for whatever! It really helped keep me on track.
