Aria · White Belt Old Friend Starship Member Posts: 9

Well I suppose I shall start by saying hello. The problem is I'm unsure as to what to say after that..... Anyways I have been RPing for a few years and came across your site when a couple of your members joined mine and when I checked out your forum I just had to give it a try for myself. Anyways it's nice to meet all of yall and I hope to have a good time.

Welcome, and here, have your official SMH Member "spirit" belt. We use these to identify where you are from, though most prefer their style belts to these.

Welcome Aria! Please deposit your sanity in the skull-shaped baskets before it causes you problems with the cleaners.

Welcome to our humble abode. As is practice, we have a nice "greeting-in-a-can" that we like to administer to our newbies. Ahem...

elcome to the Blackstar Role Playing Dojo!

If you are new to the world of Role Playing, you may wish to start at the Training Dojo, where any of our staff will be more than happy to help you learn the game.

The most important part of role playing is the development of a character. This is required before you participate in most role plays. You can look at examples of characters in our Hall of Records. Once you have a character, you can post your profile in there.

Once you have a character and some training, you may wish to join a role play. The most active of Role Playing boards is The Wilds. There are many other role playing boards for RPs of a specific location or type. Explore as much as you can.

A new feature to the Dojo is the addition of items. Most items have a way to be synthed, or combined, with other items to form usable items. Usable items will be listed in a pull down menu when you create a post, enabling you to specify which item you are using, who is using it, and what their target is. Usable items have a hit % and a break %. If you're lucky, your item use will suceed, if not, it will miss. Either way, there is a chance that your item will break and become unusable. See our wiki article on Items for more information.

Several of the boards are non-RPing boards. Boards like Announcements, General Chat, and Bugs and Features are examples of non-RPing boards. Be sure to explore these too.

We only have a few rules:
1. Respect other people, and treat them as you wish to be treated.
2. Do not argue with the Admins and Mods. They have plenty of work already. If you really have a beef with something, discussing it in a logical and calm manner will get you miles farther than whining.
3. No Powerplaying. This means forcing actions on other people. For more information on Powerplaying and how to avoid it, please refer to "Powerplaying" on our wiki.

If you have any questions during your stay here, you may ask one of the administrators or moderators. You can recognize us by our belts: Gold Dragons on the belt of an Admin, Silver on the belt of a mod.

Should you be unable to contact an Admin or you want your answer quickly, you can always refer to the Blackstar Wiki.

Please also be advised that Blackstar is considered highly addictive and may result in symptoms of insomnia, crankiness, longing for insanity, and general RP itch if you discontinue use.

Bottom of can.

You may also want to look into joining a role playing group, they are infinitely helpful and enjoyable to be in. I might recommend the Guardians... we'll talk later.

Hey! Why did I never get a greeting in a can?

Hello Aria. I hope you enjoy it here. I have only been here a few days and know that I already enjoy it here! Smile

Greetings Aria, and welcome. Watch out for the Mutant Chickens as well, they're nasty...

... Oh and you might want something to shield your head, it's started raining fruit recently, as well as the usual Yen

. It rains many things that aren't liquid here

... I lost the can opener. Hey it happens.

I gave you your own greeting in your post, even though I'm sure you've read this one already... >.>

So is it like Discworld here, then? What with the raining non-liquid things?

Do you have a river that you can be thrown onto as well? (Ank-Morpork River)

Welcome to the dojo! Have a ticket, yours is number 684, when it gets to your number it's time for your free surgery for smut enhancement! Ever wanted to be insanely smutty? No? Well now you have no choice!

No, seriously.
You don't. *Glares*

Anyway, welcome darling. I hope you enjoy your stay. If you need anything, smut related or not just ask me. (:

*collapses in a heap, dropping a poorly written note that says "WeL coMM!"

Well I never! As though I would ever commit so grievous an act! Surely you know that I know that you know that I know better than outright surgical modification. You know I prefer nanite swells - far more effctive! oh Addman, forgive me for allowing Raven to fund me Perform so horrid an action upon thee! Woe! Woe unto our Council!

Welcome, Aria. may you sing your pretty tune here for all time! The residents of this crazed place welcome you. May you find much joy in this new Fronteir.

I am the Owl, called His Lordship by some. I am the Kitsune Sensei and will be more than happy to welcome you into my school of thought.

Welcome to!City!17!

Now remember, Aria... save your plans for universal domination until AFTER you get to know everyone here. As official ambassador, I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't remind everyone to put their best foot forward. So much easier to squash them under your boot-- Er... *cough* I mean, get off on the right foot with. *cough* Is it dusty in here?
