put a post if you want, saying you hate me too!

TDA

aaaaand.... you hope to accomplish what?




You clearly aren't listening to any of the advice I gave you. This would be a perfect example of what I told you not to do. Bad decision.

Leia, it seems that im, in respect, banned from a lot of factions when all i need is an actual mentor to help me. that was Vodo, in respect. i mean, im trying to join groups but straight away im told that BHG and BDE dont want me at all. can you see any faction that would actually take me?

You are not banned from anything, Adept.


You had quite a bit to prove coming into TRF, as many do. This is a tight knit community with many talented, respected writers who have put years of hard work into the excellent storyline this board boasts.


You clearly needed to spend some time working on your RP/writing skills to bring them up to a level acceptable to the members of this board. You are new, and that is ok - we were all new at some point.


What do you do as a newbie? Well, introducing yourself and establishing your character is best done by creating a detailed, well written character biography in the bio forum. You haven't done that, posting a thread that says "I'll get to it later" is a really bad first impression. A lot of groups won't take you based on that right there, because you have no other RP resume. If you were having trouble writing a character bio, you could have asked for help and/or skipped to step 2.


Step 2: You start your own RP, the Astoria is a good place. You work on your writing skills either on your own or perhaps opposite a more experienced player who could coach you. You should also at this point be familiar with the rules, as well as actively reading other's RPs in the battlegrounds to see how things should be done. Look at Ahnk's work, Simon Kaine, Omnae, Seth Vinda... you can tell the good ones as soon as you see them. If you can't... this isn't a good place for you.


Third, when Leia Organa Solo PMs you and suggests that you should stay out of the OOC drama and focus on your IC work to gain respect around here, you listen to her instead of doing something stupid like this.


Fourth, drop the defeatist attitude and don't run around naming names and starting drama. You are new, expect the criticism and try listen to it: it can help you. The people you listed above are most likely to give it, and they aren't simply being cruel - they usually have a point. People are willing to help coach you and you have clearly recieved offers. Take them, all of them. Leave Beff alone, he bites. Drop the group idea, focus on establishing a character first. Building your own group comes later. Start out small, work your way up. Gain experience, work on your skill. Earn respect.


What else could I possibly tell you? At this point if you really want to RP here, I suggest making a new username with a real character name, and starting over.

TDA, I've been trying to help you IC. If you want more, PM me. While I haven't been around extremely long, I haven't had any criticism about my writing yet. The only thing I've been yelled at for is not doing proper research, which I've fixed. So shoot me a PM, and I'll help you out as much as possible.

As for joining a faction, the reason no one wants you right now (at least as far as I can tell) is for 1) things like this thread where you have a pity party for yourself at the expense of everyone else on the board, and 2) your writing. We've already discussed writing some, but if you want more advice, PM me. And read Simon's stuff. He's arguably the best writer on the board. Try borrowing some ideas from him.

im so sorry Leia, i did over react. im writing up Jay'Col's (my only character) histpry at the moment then im waiting for Wes in his alter ego Cendar to reply to our Astoria thread. Thank you for listening, i didnt mean to cause commotion,

TDA

Give me time, TDA, give me time. RL issues and Battlegrounds posts are taking up my attention at the moment. I'll be on it within the week, though, don't worry.

Thanks Wes.

There you go, just lay low and go work with Wes and Vodo in the Astoria. Help is here if you need it.


Things will come around with effort and experience, but such things also take time.

*nods* Thank you.
