Oh, I can get that part, but maybe there is someone out there who really likes the way you're playing and they're shy/nervous to tell you about it, so maybe a HMD meme would help in those regards?

Why do people need to know? It may just be my opinion but I think writing for other rpers is a different type of writing than writing for an audience and gearing anything towards opening up crit to an audience ignores this fact. To get the personal validation you have to open things up to crit from people that don't even play with you. I know some people stalk and that's cool but I think anything that puts value on their opinions when the opinions of people you play with matters more is just bad news. Stalkers will probably just get pissed and frustrated if players brush then off to focus more on what other players are saying instead, but the other players are more important.

Mm... yeah. There's that. Sorry. ._.;

Don't apologize. There's merit to the idea. I just think there's downsides too. Anon enabled hmd might be a good compromise for players who are shy. I just think specifically inviting stalkers to comment might put the focus more on entertaining people when us all having fun is most important. Know what I mean? It could maybe make some people shy or nervous that there's more people whose opinions they have to worry about.

But suggesting ideas is never a bad thing, so you don't have to apologize at all. Both our opinions are equally valid.

Yeah, I get what you mean! You're playing for fun, so that's what should matter. ^^
