Bladerock Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hello, i have been lurking for a while now. decided to take the plunge and make an account. You don't know the kind of courage i had to gather up for this.My primary interest is roleplaying, but i have little experience in the kind of heavily moderated atmosphere you have here. I'm carefully reading all the stickies i find, but feel free to step on my foot if i am ever out of line. I am the kind of guy who reads about there being a wall, sees a map of where the wall is and then, when i finally find the wall... accidentally walk straight into it. It's sad.Regardless, just saying hi before going into my account options to mess around with the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladerock Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hope i will.Hmm... i have to post multiple times on the introduction board before i can post anywhere else. I'm going to guess that's a test to keep insane people out. By the way, i am NOT insane, and that is the honest truth. You can't prove different, you have no access to my medical records! ;POr maybe it is to see if people are tenacious enough to bother with replying to "hi's" with "hi's" of their own in an endless cycle of madness. Hmmm.... *ponders*Well, may as well make it a productive set of posts. Questions, away:1. How do the locations work? do you have to rp traveling between them? or is it just a way to keep things organized? Edit: answered by the stickies.2. allowing for people to roleplay important characters is the weirdest thing ever. I know it isn't a question, but i had to comment on it.3. On the application forms is the [updated] tag used while the [wip] tag is present? or are they separate tags? should the [updated] tag include the date it was updated in? i don't see any characters with the updated tag, so there is no reference.Gonna go read more.Edit: kinda wish the banner would take me to the board index instead of the main page...

Bladerock Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Yes, i do plan to participate on the RP's. The main reason i stopped stalking, manned up and made an account.I have some previous freeform rp experience, but the overall atmosphere was more lax. Meaning that i have no idea as to how well i will transition. I primarily pen&paper, but as i have learned over time, experience gathered on that field is useless in freeform roleplaying.As a note, i am not a native english speaker, and although i take great pride in my above average mastery of the language, i do tend to type gibberish every once in a while. You guys let me know if i am not clear on something i posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconofChaos Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 No offense Jester, but you really shouldn't use the same post in every intro thread when the person has clearly stated that they are interested in the RP.Anyways, welcome to Canterlot Bladerock!Hello, i have been lurking for a while now. decided to take the plunge and make an account. You don't know the kind of courage i had to gather up for this.Trust me, I know that feeling, as do many others here. Hopefully you'll love this place as much as the rest of us ^^Hmm... i have to post multiple times on the introduction board before i can post anywhere else. I'm going to guess that's a test to keep insane people outIt's mostly to keep out spam bots Feel free to go introduce yourself to the other newbies to get your 5 posts.By the way, i am NOT insane, and that is the honest truth. You can't prove different, you have no access to my medical records! ;PThat's what you think! Muhahahahaha!Well, may as well make it a productive set of posts. Questions, away:1. How do the locations work? do you have to rp traveling between them? or is it just a way to keep things organized? Edit: answered by the stickies.2. allowing for people to roleplay important characters is the weirdest thing ever. I know it isn't a question, but i had to comment on it.3. On the application forms is the [updated] tag used while the [wip] tag is present? or are they separate tags? should the [updated] tag include the date it was updated in? i don't see any characters with the updated tag, so there is no reference.1. Locations are mostly for organisation. You wanna move somewhere? You're there. RPs aren't always in chronological order, so if your characters says that they recently went to Canterlot, you can then start an RP about what happened. Just don't cause any time paradoxes!2. What do you mean? The cast characters?3. I don't usually see updated tags, we generally just bump an app when it's been updated and remove the WIP tag when it's done.Hope that helps ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindJester Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 No offense Jester, but you really shouldn't use the same post in every intro thread when the person has clearly stated that they are interested in the RP.I'll try not to but I like to ask anyway.

Bladerock Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Dont worry here, english is not my native too so my grammar is not very good but forum members trying to help me with this .Cool, we can speak gibberish together and make people scratch their heads!No offense Jester, but you really shouldn't use the same post in every intro thread when the person has clearly stated that they are interested in the RP.It happens, staff members always have a full plate and they can't always read through a post that clearly isn't breaking any rules. I have come to see that kind of post as a compliment, as it means i haven't done anything wrong to attract their attention.Thanks for the answers, and yes, i do mean the cast characters. it's just... weird.It's mostly to keep out spam bots Feel free to go introduce yourself to the other newbies to get your 5 posts.What? newbs anonymous? hello, i'm bladerock and i'm a newb too! XD i dunno, i have a mild personal taboo against welcoming people when i'm not a native. Feels weird...I'll try not to but I like to ask anyway.I like asking questions that have been answered too! we are going to be best of friends!

BaconofChaos Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'll try not to but I like to ask anyway.Alright, no problem. Sorry. ^^:Thanks for the answers, and yes, i do mean the cast characters. it's just... weird.I don't really see why. Some people want to RP as the mane cast members, others want to have their characters interact with the cast. We don't have game masters running npcs here, and we can't really leave out the cast since they are a big part of the show. Ponyville needs Twilight and Dash and the other ponies What? newbs anonymous? hello, i'm bladerock and i'm a newb too! XD i dunno, i have a mild personal taboo against welcoming people when i'm not a native. Feels weird...Hehe, alright, fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladerock Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 -brohoofs BlindJester-Well, Diego Havoc, it has to do with my background. i have never RP'ed in a board where the show's cast existed. it's usually assumed that they are elsewhere doing more important things or, in cases like this, their home town is not available for roleplaying on.It's just what i'm used to, is all.Also, everyone knows me a little better because i kept posting on the same thread. if i had simply ran off and said "hi" to five other new guys, well... i would be very lonely.Or maybe it's just me being egocentric? Nah, can't be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
