I'm sorry...It's nothing....I really need to fix myself...

Wow....those are acutually common IRC sayings for me...okay the last one is.
Lets see...in one week on IRC I got a character killed, made into jello, and healed...learned magic...became a tomboy, got cursed....and realized I need to fix myself up. So here I am, basically a noob in form. I've hit my low in RP, when someone wants to rp and isn't a noob, my first question is "you like getting tfed, or tfing me?", I plan my irc days around what tfs I want to get and not what storyline to work on.
I'm a bit of a misfit around MSF-land, I know nearly nothing about anime (sans Death Note and Tales of Symphonia), I'm a gamer at heart, RPGs my speciality, and that's where I feel at home in RP. I'm also very hard on myself, always thinking I'm not up to par with others.
Also, I'm a bit of an odd time case, I'm CST, and am never on much later than 9:00PM CST (that's gmt-6 so that's about 3AM for europeans), and as such I usually miss the big US logon rush. So keep that in mind if you ever start a conversation with me, I may vanish and appear about 10 hours later to continue. I hate it when I leave, and come back to find discussion, story, ect a good twenty miles down the road from where i left it, makes me feel unimportant and illinformed.
I'm not a strong believer in the signup or get lost system, while I will sign up if it's avaliable, I don't believe sign up has to close just because the RP has started...and will sometimes intrude on either the rp or the sign up (whichever I feel is better viewed) to ask about joining in. And I may not post a complete profile right away, I'm HORRIBLE (read: I make noobs look good) at backstories. I may leave the backstory with a note that I'll fill it in later after I consult with my friends (usually Kumi, Mary, and Matt of Irc fame) about what I should do.

So yeah, I'm a noob....a big noob. And I'm a noob that's invading your forums, with a name that almost got passed over as spam (xia I'm looking at you :P, JK), no anime knowledge, RPG know-how, and a desire to build myself back up so I'm not a tf-begging, cursed to be too late, rp noob.

I also make ToS and TotA refrences that most people will never get.

Welcome to the forums! Although, you probably knew that I was going to come in here and say something eventually, yes? :P

Yes, don't be so hard on yourself. Just try and take things one at a time, and...I would say more things, but, I'm just too out of it tonight, so...yeah. Others can probably say it in a better way than I can. Anyways, go get to RPing. I'll look forward to seeing you RP, and possibly interacting with you here on the forums.

Yo, psuedo-newbie! Welcome to MSF's forums, hope you enjoy your stay and find your mojo. And I wouldn't worry too much about making references no one gets, I've done it plenty of times, with relatively few raised eyebrows.

YES! Finaly, someone who knows as much about anime as I do....maybe even more...

Anywho, welcome have fun, and don't worry about being 'bad' at stuff. You defenatly have more experiance RPing then me when I started....and that is probably still true...

Anywho (again), about signups, there aren't that many RPs that I know of that don't accept people after they start, unless they aren't running, so attempting to join won't be too much of a problem...

Anywh....no, I won't say it again. Welcome and have fun...

Posting-time-wise, you're about like me, then. The difference being there's days I won't be able to get on at all.

(Jobs suck, by the way)

Welcome to the MSF forums! If you've concerned about begging for TFs, then hit the Muffin Room and don't be. In Muffin Room, TFs beg for you! Also, have a complimentary fruit basket! *Proffers fruit basket*

I've heared stories about the Muffin room being IRC on drugs....and that scares me. :lol:

Muffin Room is IRC on crack? Well, since I've never been on IRC, never could figure it out, I wouldn't know...but you should still go in there, most people don't bite...

Did you consider being a citizen of Muffinville recently ?

Some things are happening in this thread. You could be someone watching the chaos at the moment.

PM if you're interested.

Honestly, that's the exact feeling I had when I joined. Just throw yourself at a wall and see if anything sticks. You could try Rodney's one, Circe's Manor could work, or others that seem to be buisnesses and or not just between two peoplr....or make your own.

Who ? me ? :D

*Switches to salesman mode*
TOP 3 reasons to join :
- You only have to read this thread which is only 8 pages long so far,
- You don't need to read the 50 pages from the previous thread to have an idea of what is happening.
- You don't need to read the 41 pages thread that created Rodney in his bishi version.


But here is a serious advice for the forum :
Don't forget to read or browse through the The Muffinian Codex
It's great as a reference.
