Please send help

Please send help, I am so severely out of your, as a collective, league. I joined about ten minutes ago and have since been browsing roleplays. Comparatively, I am like a toddler smacking a keyboard and gurgling 'roley play'. I'm going to go sit at the kid's table now.

911 what is your emergen- I see. *scratches head* well... I guess you could join my Rp and I could try to help you get going? It's pretty easy! Just click the orange thing that says space. Also. Please do not sit at the kids table. You may vomit due to excessive milk nostril spraying, and a noodle going into a child's mouth out their nose, and then back into their mouth.

Considering you actually made a fairly witty thread for this, you probably give yourself a bit too little credit.

I learned the best way to improve at something like this is to do generally aim high. You'll be surprised at what you can do. Joining a thread that may seem daunting can be the best way to achieve the improvement you want.

This is how I learned to roleplay in another place. I didn't really have an option to do material that was subpar because I was part of something that it wouldn't be acceptable on. You'll be surprised what your true upper limits might be.

Hello, yes, 911--Waaaait a minute there, I'm not from America. I'm not paying for overseas costs. Not again.
But thank you, I would love to make a first attempt in your RP. Hopefully I'm not too embarrassing - famous last words!
But the kid's table is much more comfortable. Poppers abound; the apple juice flows. It's a grand affair.

And thank you, Innue! I'll try but it's all quite daunting.

As well, you could join mine (my signature and such), as it is flexible enough that most anyone can be involved, but should push your limits with the people that have so far chosen to involve themselves. It's also a generally good way to learn solid combat roleplay principles, as there is a decent amount of that as well.

I also sit in the Chat (IRC) and excessive amount of time if you wish to pose questions there.

Thank you for the offer! I do have a question: I'm a little confused because in my snooping, there is an OOC and IC section. I understand those, however sometimes people post forms in OOC and sometimes they post them straight up in the IC such as with your RP? I'm unsure of what the rules are for that.

The general convention is you post things such as your bios in the OOC section, as well as post questions about the thread (or just generally discuss with the people participating in the thread). The IC should be reserved solely for actions your character(s) is/are taking. Before posting in the IC nearly all thread owners will likely require some kind of completed character sheet.

Okay, that makes sense. And is there some kind of accepted/denied system?

GERD DENGIT. Now how do I pay my rent. Frank you said this would work! ... NO I DO NOT CARE IF YOU SAID RESULTS MAY VARY!jwnxjikwnfhUuhhHhsb. Hm, sorry, anyways, YES, you are in fact welcome to the whole dealio I am doing. Char creation is pretty flexible, so it shouldn't be hard considering I basically made it ×Whatever you want this is space× but then said be a little realistic. No 50000 ft Godzilla creatures who dabble in world eating.

Most thread owners will let you know if a bio meets the requirements by posting "[Name] is accepted or denied" somewhere after the bio - you can see my thread as an example for what I do.

Thank you to the both of you. You two are very kind and patient with what I bet are pretty tiresome questions. :)

No problem at all. We were all new once and the conventions from site to site can differ a lot. It is good that you ask to avoid incurring the wrath of a GM who may not be as forgiving of any kind of faux pas you'd make by not knowing these things.

Also: If you're not used to writing long responses, you might want to start in the Free section (where there are no length standards so short posts are common). If you decide you want to RP in a thread with lengthier posts, then you can try moving to another forum.

Thank you for the advice! (:
