How's My Driving?

How am I playing Winter? She's a little bit crazier than my usual, so I'm always open to feedback, positive or negative. Please leave me comments, suggestions, or anything else that needs to get to me. Comments are screened and anon is on. Please be warned that anonymous comments may be unscreened once I've replied to them, partly so I can make sure you can see the reply, and partly to reduce the number of people making the same comment.

Hey!

I was chatting with some other people about recent stuff going on in the game and it came up that I don't feel like it's as easy to get CR with Winter as I wish it was.

What I mean is that most of Winter's network posts seem to be addressed at CR she already has, and not a whole lot comes out of tagging her with characters who aren't already in on it. You tag back, yes, but after my own experiences and stalking some other threads, it doesn't feel like CR sticks with characters she hasn't had it with since early on or who aren't part of her Precure team.

If you've got your plate full, that's fine! I guess I'm kind of wondering why network posts with specific targets aren't locked to those people if you want to keep your plotting and your CR pool close.

Hello again, I'm the anon that left crit about your Vegas plot. I noticed you replied to the other anon about their crit. I'm not sure if you didn't get the crit I left before, or hadn't gotten around to replying to it, so I wanted to nudge you again. I'm concerned about how and why a school is letting a group of underage students travel across the country to stay in Las Vegas by themselves for a length of time. This doesn't make sense to me, and I'd like further explanation on why they don't have a chaperone.

Thank you, and I hope to hear back from you.

I see there's actually a comment similar to what I want to bring up to you, here so I'll just elaborate on what I see:

Your posts really do look like they're only for the CR Winter already has. I saw you talking on plurk today about how you wanted more people to tag you, and I went to look at your post. I saw absolutely nothing I could tag. My characters don't know Winter. Saying "here's food, but it won't last to get to Locke" isn't going to get Locke characters involved, and "I have no new information since last time" isn't very engaging. Asking for something new when nothing new has happened in the last two weeks due to mod drama isn't going to direct anyone who might have plot knowledge either, especially since so many Vegas characters are blatantly angry with the Locke characters. Not to mention you last post had serious paragraphs of what she's doing in Vegas in a hotel that normal Vegas people won't be able to access, and Locke people won't be able to access at all.

If you want more people outside of your CR to tag you, you're going to have to either tag out more to get more CR to respond to your posts, or provide real hooks for people to respond to. I know you want to make Winter cute, but if she's a chore to respond to, that won't get anything. And if you take days to respond to one tag it's going to be a chore, too, as it seems you only responded to one person on your post. That's not exactly welcoming when included with a "I want more people to tag it but I'm not tagging the people who have" plurk.
