Sorry to seem mean folks

[Evee~Natalia]

Me and Protege have a thread in the dark forest called "Traveling a road less traveled" and we would appreciate it if no one posted there. We don't mean to be cruel but there are other threads that Protege or myself have started that I'm sure you would be welcome in. I don't mind Role Playing with all of you but there are threads that only the people who started it want to be involved in. No one else. I'm positive most of you have threads like that. I've made many of threads that anyone could post on but it's up to you if you want to be involved in them. I am not a stingy person at all, I have shared all of my threads.

So in other words, Protege and I made this thread one night that we were online (just me and him) and we got the idea to do this thread and we really intended to do it alone. At least that's what I think. But if you all want to RP with me or anyone else, you know what to do. PM the person. I love all of the many people and personalities on this site and wish them all good RP experiences. I have no ill will toward anyone on this site that has posted on a thread that was meant for me and one other person. I just wished they had asked

No hard feelings my fellow citizens of Avaren. I love you all...

I don't see how that's mean. I actually consider it polite to not enter a thread without permission (my first board had a rule like that).

So I might just take the oppertunity here to say I prefer two people threads, because often if a third party joins I get oushed out. And I don't like that.

Sorry ^^ But the way I feel!

I do completely agree Evee on many counts, and I did believe that it was a private topic (though it was personal fault of me own that I forgot to put Private in the title or in my post....I'll change my first post and input Private).

In my opinion, there are some unspoken laws of RPing ettique. While some of them are qualities of good RPing, there are others that I believe exist. One of them, of course, is to not barge into a topic labled Private or labled for a certain person, but I think you can ask if you can post if they just make it seem in the post they went to a place to meet a person (like if they say Bob was at the tavern, because he knew John came there often and wanted to talk to him.). One of the ones that I think is part of the unspoken laws that is often broken is someone barging into a topic after the two people have had 3-4 posts. In my opinion, if a person starts a topic, a person replies, and the first person replies to the second person, then a third person should ask if they are allowed to post, unless the topic was originally planned as a 3 person topic. I mean, it just seems likea polite thing to do. Also, of course, some people will say they were almost right there when they post at first, in a position in which they would have been noticed by another RPer. Kinda insulting, don't you think? It seems as if they are belittling our skills. Also, in real life, if you see two people deep in a discussion, do you jump right into it, or do you just walk on by or wait for the people to finish or acknowledge you?

And just another ettique thingg...I have seen some RPers who are often incredibly late postnig. They might get on once every day or two to post. I do not know about other people, but I dislike it. Here I am, checking a site maybe 5-6 times a day to see if any of my topics have a new post or maybe I have new PMs, but the person who I am RPing with only gets on once every 1-2 days, posting. I understand sometimes it is difficult for people to sometimes find the time to post really often, but if you are going to have time troubles (maybe work overtime at a job, maybe go on a trip), you should at least be kind enough to inform the other RPer, that way they are not constantly expecting you to post.

Maybe I should revise the RPing guide I had posted and include an ettique section...

Hop that y'all are okay with what I'm saying, mates, because I am not speaking directly about anyone, I am just pointing out a few things that i believe a large number of people dislike that i have seen on a few sites.

I am definitely ok with it. ^_^ but yes, I think you should put an ettique section on your role playing advice thread becuse that was one of the best RP advice threads I've ever seen. Seriously.

I'd like to come here more often. *pouts*

During the week is hard, because I use the school computers mostly. I live with my mum most of the time, and that computer is... um... a censored word. ANDDDDDD I work weekends, mostly from mid morning till early/late after noon.

But I do like this site! *promises*

I think it would be good to add an ettique section to your role playing guide.

As for being active, I try to check on Avaren at least once a week, and MH as much as possible. Unfortunately, my muse decides to take a nap on any test days, and I sometimes am so busy that I can only get online a day or two a week; I just take school first. Generally, I suppose I'm just not a very active person, especially on here. I appologize if my lateness has bothered anyone.
