HOW'S MY DRIVING?

Anon is enabled, don't be an a jerk.

This is not a love meme, however, that also doesn't mean it is a hate meme. Someone's driving can be good, feel free to say as much! Just try to give them an idea on how.

Also please make sure if you are asking for crit you are also giving it. If everyone only posts for themselves, no one will get any feedback. You don't need to comment to everyone, but please be sure if you comment to reply to at least 3 other people. We'll be keeping an eye on this post to make sure everyone's commenting around.

There are some helpful crit questions posted here if you are feeling lost on how to word yourself.

I wanted to take the time to tell you guys that you're basically the best mods I've seen yet, and I know you've heard that from me before. I haven't been in this game for too long, but I've had too many problems with other games to know how a game could really sink. Every game has problems somewhere, somehow, but I love the way you guys handle it. You let us know what's going on behind the scenes; you're all always active (and when you're not, it's for a good reason); when you get crit, you don't immediately start babbling about how hard your job is and life is just tough; you're not scared of game-wide discussion posts; when you have a problem, you guys immediately work it out; no one is treated as favorites; etc etc.

As far as that whole thing with the SURPRISE TWIST comes along, I'm going to have to be the black sheep here. I didn't see anything wrong with it. I've met things like that in all of my other games and it was never a big deal. There were times where I didn't like the twist, but I always trusted the mods and it always turned out well. In this case, I think that the mods are so involved with this game that it came as such a shock to everyone that you didn't say exactly what was happening. Obviously, Holiday was placed in Group 1, so I'm probably not the best source for this stuff, but if your biggest problem right now is that you didn't tell everyone about a surprise twist in a plot, then I think you're doing pretty fantastic. Of course, I understand their problems, too. Not being able to plot out stuff can be annoying when you're excited for whatever's happening.

So yeah. I'm happy with your attention to detail, I really love that you're involved, and I especially appreciate that you treat the players with respect. As far as a crit goes, don't be scared to send us for more loops, don't ever back out of the intensity of the game, stay consistent with how much you're going to tell the player base, and don't get too overwhelmed with it all. So, basically not a lot. I'm sorry for being a fan girl.
