Burter Advice - Burter - 05-08-2007
Post here and I'll give you my serious advice and predictions. Feel free to post again later into the pre-show, and the game, so see how my advice and predictions change
I didn't post in Rad's thread because I think people would wanna know my opinion in detail
Keep in mind if you haven't done pre-show posts already, I won't have much advice
Burter Advice - Old Zangya - 05-08-2007
Based upon my previous writings (particularly as Buu) that you have seen, if I enter, how far do you think I could possibly make it?
Burter Advice - Raditzu - 05-08-2007
Even though I haven't posted in the pre-show yet, I think you know me/Rad/my writing style well enough to provide some advice. I already know there are a couple things that I usually do (writing longer paragraphs, for example) that I'm going to try to shy away from. Nonetheless, I'm always interested in the opinion of the person "grading" my performance.

Oh me!. I haven't RPed in forever, but if you can give it a shot please do. =o

@Smartguy:
Probably out fairly quick barring a good weapon or a good ally. I think you're going to want to team up with someone and use strategy to your advantage, because bottom line, you don't compare to some of the better roleplayers on the site.
Definetly an underdog though. If you play your cards right strategically, you could surprise people.
Unless you pull out some miracles, you'll be out around 40 left
@Raditzu:
Writing, wise, you can win. Bottom line you're one of the better writing players. If you get a good weapon, you'll against be unstoppable.
Your biggest weakness is I can already predict what you're going to do in this game: Who you'll team up with, what will happen in your roleplays, etc etc. You should focus on changing things up, maybe have Rad meet some new faces or have some new reactions.
Your biggest worry should be that karma comes around full circle. There are people who you beat year that will come into this with a simple goal of making sure you don't win again.
I think you'll be a surprise elimination around 25-ish left. If people don't wise up and let you coast along, you'll stand a great shot at winning again. Which brings me back to your biggest worry: People know what to expect from you now, so they are going to pull out all the stops on your ass.
@Bojack:
I don't remember a whole lot from you, but I do know you're a solid writer. I can't really say anything advice wise on the writing. Try not to repeat your Sin City type roleplays from when you were Bido, because those were really hard to follow. Then again, maybe those could work when you're on an island killing people.
I do know you're a big contributer to the discussion in the OOC forum which will keep me wanting to hear your thoughts through the game. It's a wildcard shot on the prediction, but I don't think you'll have to worry about being eliminated until you get a serious injury, so I'll say, uh...20 left.

Give me a shot.

And me =)?
Burter Advice - Old Zangya - 05-08-2007
@Burter
Alright, I just wanted your opinion. My hope is to say I'll surprise you, because I already have a few good allies that I'm teaming up with, and I'm a good strategist, too, so I may use that.
You've also never seen me roleplay as Zangya unless you read what I posted for Bojack in the Space Pirates thread. If you'd go and read that, doesn't have to be right now, but if you would, and you have a different opinion, please post it. Thanks.
Burter Advice - Kirano - 05-08-2007
I know my RP's contrast. Someone even said I am not really applying myself lately, and I'm not writing to my full potential. But based on my performance in DA06 in contrast to my RP's now, and even overall, I'd like to get your opinion Burter.
Burter Advice - Burter - 05-08-2007
Cut off here. Just three at a time, please
Burter Advice - Burter - 05-08-2007
@Celipa:
You were Puar, right? Here's some advice: Stand out
You had great roleplays and I LOVED roleplaying Puar in the fights but you were invisible compared to your comrades. This is the biggest problem with being in a group: Some people are just 'there.' That was you last year. You need to be a group where I can point and say "Oh, that's the alliance with Celipa in it"
Your writing didn't lack, you just got outshined by the frontrunners of the alliance. I think if you take the advice I just gave you, you'll hit Top 30 at the least, and from there isn't anybody's guess
Burter Advice - Bujin - 05-08-2007
<.<
Heh, I guess I'll ask for myself.
Burter Advice - Burter - 05-08-2007
@King Cold:
Sorry, dude. I don't know your writing and I don't know you personally so I'm gonna have to ask you to try again when you sign-up so I can at least check out your style.
From what little I read in those quests I graded, I'd say you'll have no trouble surviving a fight or two in the start at the least
Burter Advice - Super Buu - 05-08-2007
If I were to join, how far do you reckon I'd make it?
Burter Advice - Burter - 05-08-2007
@Bulma:
I haven't read anything of your's since DA (aside from our fight on FoF). You weren't nessecarily bad in DA06, you were just...there. You didn't give me any reason to want to keep you around. I didn't really feel for your character.
You were a much better writer when I fought you as Riddler vs Raven. So if you bring that to the table and maybe look a little more inwardly as Bulma, instead of just her actions, you could get far.
I'll say probably a midgame elimination, Top 25-30 but with potential to go far. I hope you don't be, but unless you surprise me from the get go, you could repeat your performance last year
Burter Advice - Android-18 - 05-08-2007
I know you said some stuff in vent, but if you have anything else you could tell me here, I'd like to know. Even if it may upset me, say it.
Burter Advice - Burter - 05-08-2007
@Eighteen:
Okay, uh, here goes. Your writing is solid and always has been. Like I said to you, last year you weren't eliminating for roleplaying bad, you were eliminated for not writing as good as the survivors of your fight. That's not saying much because Rad and Bardock were both fantastic, so you getting eliminated and still injuring Bardock says a lot
Anyway, onto advice. Like Raditzu, you're too predictable, and predictable is boring. I know you're gonna wanna team up with Rad, develop your relationship there and all that fun stuff. Which is cool, if I haven't already read that same scene 50 times before. I won't feel a drive to keep someone in if I already know what's going to happen with them.
So you need to change things up. Different actions, different partner maybe, different relationship with Rad. Just something needs to change so I can't say "Well, I'm sick of reading about this."
If you don't take my advice, you'll probably die with Raditzu around Top 25-30. If you do, you stand a good chance of outlasting him (and thus giving Eighteen even more development) and hitting the Top 10, or better.
Burter Advice - Kirano - 05-08-2007
@ Burter. Thanks. I'm greatful for your opinion.
I knew from the start why I didn't make it far in DA06. Now, I definately place more depth into my character, and I believe I am capable of making the top 10 if I put my heart into it.
