On anoncomm comments

[a_father_to_his_men]

I don't understand how those people who are being anonymous intend to improve the skills and abilities in the muns for my 'cast mates' though such vague comments and lack of constructive criticisms. Do they think that somehow other muns are able to divine exactly what they need to work on in order to improve their writing and 'voice'?

Admittedly I do not know the others aside from Starscream and Ravage beyond Ink City itself, but from what you have said Mun it does not seem that the accusations of lacking this 'voice' are accurate. Does that sort of thing serve any purpose except as a breeding ground for complaint and negative feelings?

Uh...

[a_father_to_his_men]

Yes?

[meng_huan_myuu]

Yes. That is exactly what it means.

As bitter as it sounds, you're basically wedged in between two things universally known for wank and whining.

The mun'd give crit, if he wasn't so new to the fandom. As it stands, he knows how it must feel; it'd be like if someone told him he was doing a terrible job right when things were looking better.

I don't believe my mun personally feels any damage being inflicted by the comments, especially because she says, and I quote, "If they had the balls to say it to my face they already would have, beyond that it is purely whining." Also she seemed quite amused that the only argument against her comment there was someone pointing out my commentary here, as if I were something less then a true muse. I simply don't understand the use of such a forum, as, if it is meant for constructive criticism, it seems to lack the proper control to be so.

My mun doesn't know much of your universe, though he does 'dabble' in roleplaying from some series called 'Beast Wars'. I wouldn't pay much attention to those without constructive advice.

[a_father_to_his_men]

I feel the same, though my mun seemed convinced they should be pointed in the right direction to give any advice they do have, as well as informing them that their opinions will be listened to. Of course it seems that hasn't come to any useful end either.

Perhaps, they do not understand how to properly communicate their concern for your acquaintances. That is always a possibility.

[a_father_to_his_men]

That is not something I had considered, though my mun seems to feel that while that explanation is a viable one it does not excuse talking about herself and the other muns as if they are unapproachable. I do feel that they should consider the civility of their comments as they don't seem to be very considerate to the feelings of the people they are speaking about.

[isthenormandy]

It is only a theory.

One of the very first things I have learned with my free will, was that not everyone is going to see you the same way another person does. Personally, I think it is an important thing to keep in mind when dealing with social issues.

Separating personal feelings from a situation are difficult for organics. Criticism, constructive or not, is not always well received by all. Negative feelings from others are also difficult to handle. I do hope your 'mundane' is not discouraged. I know there are many in this same confine that associate with you and your companions.

[a_father_to_his_men]

It is true, for organics emotions are deeply tied to perceptions of self, either on ones own or from outside sources. And where emotions are involved it is hard to make clear, logical decisions.

My mun has decided a while ago, after watching more insensitive ridicule destroy some other players of cast mates in a different game, that she wasn't putting muses in games to make others happy, but instead because she herself enjoyed it. Aside from wanting to offer the opportunity to receive criticism openly and point out some things from her perspective she has little feeling one way or another for what was said.

Both her and I thank you for the positive concerns.

[isthenormandy]

Your mun is very wise to make a decision after her observation.

I am still new to dealing with human sentiments, and this has opened my eyes a little more. My mun is...playing with the idea, of having me join you and your companions in this so called city. If she decides to, then I look forward to working with you.

[a_father_to_his_men]

She says that she merely tries to keep herself from letting unnecessary stresses from adding to her life.

Every encounter is an opportunity for growth of all those involved. I would be very glad to see such a nice, and logical individual join us. Also my mun feels that there are a number of her fellow muns that would very much enjoy to see you there, and as always every mun is welcome and they make sure to enjoy each other as much as possible.
