The IC Critque Meme!

[lifetothefullest]

Have you ever wanted to tell your fellow cave wasteland-dwellers what you think of them without consequence? Does their cavalier attitude toward murder, or lack of any critical thinking skills, or naive optimism cause frustration? Or is it something even more minor that really irks you, like that your roommate keeps borrowing your clothes or your friend won't use punctuation when they type?

WELL THEN--

THE LOWDOWN
• Post a header with your character's name.
• Comment in-character to other people's headers. With what? Depends on your CR! Maybe they're a good person and really should keep on keeping on, maybe literally everyone can see they need to suck it up and confess already, maybe they'll change their wicked ways if just one extra person casts aspersions on their pompadour. Bring in examples if you want, as with any helpful critique. Be as creative as you like!
• Other characters will comment to yours, no doubt overflowing with well-meaning advice on how to be the best person they can be. Your character is free to respond. Excuse you, maybe despair is still in fashion??
• Feel free to assume there's a compulsion to speak their minds, if your character's not usually the type to give unsolicited advice.
• A probably unnecessary reminder, but just remember, this is not a place for OOC crit! There are other, more appropriate channels for that.

Chill out on keeping me at arm's length. I'm not gonna make it weird or fall for you or whatever you think is gonna happen. Looks aside, you're not as charming as you think you are.

[other than that 10/10 will continue to smash]

[Wow listen he has an 18 in charisma???]

What's that supposed to mean? You know, saying I'm just not charming enough for you to fall for isn't exactly a good way to get me to be friends with you.

[completelycrazy]

The "not falling for" is more of a chemistry thing. I guess the charm is, too. Look, no offense? "Street smarts" doesn't count as, like, actual smarts.

[nowherewolf]

So you're not in danger of making this weird because you think I'm too dumb.

[IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER!!!]

This is not helping your case.

[completelycrazy]

Well, yeah.

Don't take it personally. I've got six doctorates and I'm the last biologist standing for the world's only defense against an entire species of alien invaders. I'm a cut above the rest.

All I'm saying is it's not like we can really jive on that level, you know? And that's cool! I like you well enough as you are. But, like, you're not relationship material. I'm not even interested in relationship material so you're SOL either way.

[that's all he's saying why are you offended?]

[nowherewolf]

Kinda hard not to take it personally when someone says you're stupid. You know I'm not like, an idiot, right? I didn't go to college because I was fucking homeless, not because I wasn't smart enough.

So what, you only date people with six doctorates?

[Tucker why are you arguing this you don't even want to date him]

[completelycrazy]

Dude, calm down. I never said you were stupid, just like, you're not on my level. You can't even argue with that! It's just facts!

[And what the fuck don't call him out on his privilege??? Or, do, because he's ignoring it. Whoops.]

It's not like I require resumes or some crap. It's not about the degrees, it's about like-mindedness. We don't have that. I'm not even saying it's a bad thing! It's not like you want to date me, anyway! You're missing the point!
