Saying 'Hello' can be a bit difficult at times. A greeting is the secondary part of a first impression- the foremost being physical appearance, which I thankfully get to do away with for this particular ciecumstance... And yet due to this dismissal of physicality, all odus of appearance falls singularly on the greeting. Interesting, isn't it, that the less one has to show, the more deliberate their words become? Words are the key here, aren't they? That's quite funny considering the hobby I am choosing to make this greeting for.
Do I take the time to present myself in formality, rambling on and on of my years of roleplaying as if credentials to be proud of?
Or...
Do I take a whimsical approach, attempting to fill my avatar with humor and whit, garnering amusement in an attempt to present charisma?
Either way the words are key. With no voice to carry my words, the words themselves must stand up on their own. I suppose I'm putting too much thought into this- or, perhaps, this is an attempt at highbrow humor satirizing philosophical thought? To be truthful this is Simply the ramblings of someone who thinks 'Hello' is far more important than it needs to be.
I should probably just settle for simplicity, I'll have pretty of time to think too much once I get past this step and have to say 'Hello' to potential roleplaying compadres. Now that's a scary first impression, eh?
My dry sense of humor and ramblings aside...
Hey there everyone, it's good to be here!
I was once a member of this guild years ago, and opted for overt formality back then, trying to hold myself to an image of professionalism... Well, I ended up having to drop the guild back then due to extraneous circumstances. So this time around I"ll just be myself. My overthinking, dry humored, and far too verbose self.
This should go swimmingly.
