Exclamation The Newbie's Guide [ALL READ]

Alright guys, just so I'm not completely useless as a mod of this forum (you seem to be doing fine without me but that's probably no excuse), go and have a read of the Newbie's Guide to RP (it's an announcement at the top of the thread listing). Then give me feedback! Does it need a rewrite? If so, would you be willing to do it? If not, are there any small things that need changing?

Go read! Go discuss! I shall be back forthwith, possibly. If not, please email me angrily in a couple of weeks

Re: The Newbie's Guide [ALL READ]

I'd say the creating threads section at least needs updating. I'll happily PM you a few points that I feel should be added ("ND is GOD, cross him at your peril!"").

Feel free to rewrite it and post here.

Cheers for the help guys.

I used to see it.... back when the more you posted, the higher your rank.... what happened to that anyway??? But when i first started, 2000, i used 2 get chucked out all the time.. it was fun......

BTW: tseia, I'd take the character bit out.. unless someone starts the thread up again..

Your newbie thread is good as always....


WELL DONE

AcidK restarted the character posting, it's just not excessively active. Scroll down and find the Character Sheets thread.

Re: The Newbie's Guide [ALL READ]

The character thread HAS been restarted... It just needs to be stickied so it won't disappear again

As for you Slick, I'm pretty sure I'd still toss you out of the OOC if it ever came back, just because of all the times you tried to come in (and survived no more then 10 posts) when you weren't an officer yet :P

Yeah the character thread needs to be sticked... whoever unsticked the original character thread needs to be shot - I've been unable to find a copy of my original character description and history anywhere... :/

Re: The Newbie's Guide [ALL READ]

The original thread got unsticked cause you all were complaining there were too many stickied threads. In addition no one had posted in it in almost a year if i remember correctly.

Re: The Newbie's Guide [ALL READ]

Something should probably be put in about not assuming actions of other peoples characters unreasonably, and making sure that your character only knows what i could feasibly know

And seriosly, who was the item of dessert mentioned in the character creation bit?

Re: The Newbie's Guide [ALL READ]

Top 5 Things Newbies Shouldn't Do
1. Create Threads
2. Think that an uber cool l33t r0x0r name AND TYPIN IN CAPS ALL DA TIME makes up for having no punctuation, spelling, grammar or paragrpahs.
3. Create a dark, mysterious character dressed in a long black trenchcoat, because THEY'RE REALLY ORIGINAL AND COOL!
4. Expect threads to be updated and DMed whenthe DM says they will be
5. Ask what was so good about the old times, anyway?

Hope it helped...

I'll have you know my character with a long black trench coat was my second one! My original was much more wierd and fun (or as most people would say, overpowered and stupid).
Anyway, trench coats are cool, I have one .
Plus dark and mysterious helps lessen character development, if you miss out bits of personality, its becuse hes so dark and mysterious that they're hidden.

Re: The Newbie's Guide [ALL READ]

As far as character development goes in my own personel opinion being original and new is hard considering the amount of ideas and diffrenent types of characters that exist out there. The key is to get a right combination and mixture of elements to make it seem fresh and new, though I do somewhat have toa gree on whole trenchcoat and mysterious character persona.

There are other means to avoid bothering to develop characters is simple to not bother, least your being honest that way. If there is an attempt at trying to hide their past though for future development, they can posses grizzly exteriors to a smart dressed gentlemen. The limits are bound by the chains and limits of our ideas and imaginations, I will be the first to admit my first exploits into character development was far from good the first year or so. Also due to my pesamisitic nature I still wont accept they are but thats the way things are with it.

To get to my point as long as you can create the ideas you can limit or adapt a multitude of characters to your desired goals.

Re: The Newbie's Guide [ALL READ]

My first character wore a trenchcoat - ah, those were the days...

I will get round to editing the announcement by the way, just when I have a bit more time. And I suddenly noticed Darkling's got his own mod email address. How exciting! I'm guessing I didn't get one because of, well, not being here.

I really should get kicked off the mod team. Ah well, what are you going to do?

It was more down to the fact that they where handing them out, so you had to ask specificly if you wanted one.

I remember that time JJ asked us who we wanted to make moderators and we all systematically and individually destroyed any chance that any of us had of getting the position.

That was fun.

Who needs an unstoppable sword when you're female with a form fitting gown.

I 'm pretty sure my first character on the board was Akyla the mage created to help Nomani (Torin) with her Protema thread.

Hehehe nice.

My first character was my swordsman mage in Legend of The Dragoon. He had sandals and a huge sword. Some great spells and took out some bandits on the road before getting a pet falcon which he used like a mount named R'Staarg

Oh awesome. I can never get enough of that. Haven't seen you around for a while, Lakhim. I'm sort of retired myself, you know, though I've been thinking of making a strategy thread (or, reviving PW) if only because I miss all the players detailing their impossible plans for galactic conquest to me (mainly Crazy); whining at me for not DMing on time (you, everyone else); criticizing aspects of the game and then suggesting incredibly complex improvements on them (KoL); and repeatedly asking to get the non-existant "Death Star" technology (Fluffie).

I'm at a loss. I honestly don't know whether to be overjoyed or disappointed at the fact that I was not mentioned in the above.


Most curious.

Might I point out the "everyone" (4th line in the criticizing section) means just that? You could take that as a mention to yourself, but by doing that I would have to accept it too, and I'd rather not be brandished as a whinner... though I do get ignored quite a bit...
