I keep sending myself Kudos. Yup, I'm -that- good, baby.

The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

Are... are you sure you forwarded all of them? Maybe you missed one...

Ah the pratfalls...

Even I'm getting kudos, what is this world coming to?  :twisted:

Now look at what you started.




(and thanks to the person who sent it)

For that matter.. where the hell are all MY missives of adulation and admiration?

Vanth, you're hiding them from me, right?  All 11 were for me, I know it.

I got three.

This is -purely- idle curiosity, but what was the player distribution of Kudos?

Was there a particular character or characters who got multiple kudos, or were they pretty dispersed?

You know, I'd rather not know the exact distribution.

Fair enough. I'd still like to know, though, if somoene is willing to pm it.

If not, that's cool, too. Can't hurt to ask.

Note: I am not asking -who- got the most kudos.
July 04, 2006, 07:26:23 PM #34
If your that interested...I got more than one.

But I don't see why it matters. My sweet roleplaying is not to be questioned.

Quote from: "Ghost"I don't get any kudos.   :cry:    You and your kudos are making me hate my loner character.

You all suck.

I've never gotten any kudos, but I have something else that starts with a "k". So, I must be doing something right.

You do not have that item.

QuoteAnd Morgan--don't worry about not getting kudos. It doesn't really mean that you're not loved and appreciated. People are just forgetful about these things.

I often get so caught up in the action that I forget to send kudos.  Doesn't mean I love the action any less!

Yeah, I have to agree with this.  I wish I sent more kudos, but you are all just such good RPers, I feel like I can't pick one of you out of the crowd that easily.  :D

Really, though, I should try to send more of these.

I got one! In your face, all you losers without kudos! Yeah!

*throws up the horns*

Seriously, thanks to whoever sent that. Made my freaking day.

Vanth, how many this time?  8)
July 06, 2006, 09:52:30 AM #39
There are other imms who do this. :P

As far as dispersal, they tend to be fairly evenly spread around the playerbase.  When someone dies a public or infamous death, they might get a few right afterward.  Really visible roles like nobles and templars tend to get more in general, but there are also plenty of kudos for chance encounters with obscure characters.

I got another one, suckers :P

And yes, it's not always Vanth who sends them out. But Vanth does rock at the sending of the kudos.

Have you sent kudos today? DO IT. You will be making someone happy, and you will also make them think, "Hey maybe I should do that." They may also kudo you back, it's a great way to fish for a compliment.

I'm gonna go all Gimfalisette on you guys and lay down some numbers.

Getting kudos is always nice.  It's also just as warm and fuzzy feeling to hear a past character of yours get a mention long after their death/storage.

What I would loooove to get is some constructive criticism on the things that I am doing -wrong-.  There is always room for improvement. :)
July 06, 2006, 10:48:04 AM #42
You know, that's kind of an icy slope.

On one hand, it'd be nice if there was something between player kudos and player complaints...

On the other hand, I'm not really sure if it's a great idea to open critique on every aspect of people's character interpretations, either...

I mean, everyone has a different view on it, right?

I was thinking yesterday that a "request player feedback" option on the request tool might be nice. You could request feedback from people you play with consistently, and probably since they play with you consistently they're not going to be all that harsh. I too would like more ways to improve my RP than just asking myself "am I messing up? what can I do better?"

That would be different - yeah. Solicited vs. unsolicited.
July 06, 2006, 10:58:57 AM #45
I wouldn't want unsolicited negative feedback on the way I play my characters.. There's already a bunch of people on the GDB that I'm sure would delight in spending hours just doing so.

I mean, everyone has a different view on it, right? Wouldn't it just sort of serve to make you feel like crap after a while if everyone had something to say about everything you did or didn't do with your character that they thought you should or shouldn't do?

Constructive criticism is highly subjective, and the amount that people can accept varies from person to person.

If another character is getting completely confused by my emote style, I would like to know, so I can evaluate the issue and attempt to correct it.  If they are growing weary of repetitious command emotes that I use (yeah, I know I do, sorry everybody ;)), I wouldn't mind hearing about it.  If they feel I don't emote enough or can't get into my character or feel that I am far too two-dimensional, I want to know.

But, yeah, it would be hurtful if I got a "OMFG WHYYYY, WHYYYY DO YOU IMMS STILL LET THIS TWINK SON OF A BITCH PLAY!!!".  I would imagine, though, that the imms would be a bit judicial on what they relayed.
July 06, 2006, 12:14:32 PM #47
Kudos and constructive criticism are great, yes.  I love them.  However, it seems like some people are so insecure about their roleplaying that they depend on them to know how they are doing.  I'd like to say that I think you should have more confidence in yourself and your roleplaying.  Odds are if you aren't getting smacked by player complaints or by the IMMs with emails saying "YOU SUCK!  YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE!" that you're doing a good job with your role.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't ask to know how you're doing.  You can always send an email the mud's way to get your account notes.  (I wouldn't recommend doing so very often though.  No more than once every six months.)  But that way, you get an idea of what the people upstairs think.

Edited to add: Just have fun.  That's what this game is all about, right?
