Hi... I'm new here. I was talked into joining by my girlfriend, Danikat. I'm pretty new to all of this stuff, but she's promised to train me and everything. So bear with me. I plan on being here for a while, and hopefully having fun.  |

Welcome - I really shouldn't be talking as DP, considering I just offed him, but you know what - this isn't the first time I threw continuity out the window.
Someone will be by with a can of greeting later

Aloha!
I haven't had a chance to use the canned greeting for a while, so apologies if its a little past its sell-by date but it should still be ok:

Welcome 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. |
Although I think you know a lot of that already. If you don't then why weren't you listening when I said it?

Greetings and welcome, I'm sure we all would be quite happy to answer any question you might have.
Also, beware of falling fruit... money... anything, really.
Damn I wish I could get my bf to see how great RPing is...

Glad to see a new face!
I'm the long-absentee caretaker of the wilds, who's hopefully going to gt back into action. If you need a hand, just holler!

Welcome to the Dojo, dater of Dani. I hope you enjoy your stay here, and I also hope that you'll pay cookies for the newly introduced "Newbie Tax".

Its the arrows that worry me. Although being smacked in the head with a melon isn't exactly my idea of a good time either.
Still holding out for that rain of gerbils though.

Though I suspect the Newbie Tax was just invented as addman was typing up the post... cookies for all!!!
*hands out cookies*
Thank you all for the welcome. I'm gonna get me some training, then I'll unleash myself fully into the RP.  |

Welcome to the one and only (Except for that other one.) Dojo! Let me give you some friendly advice. Erm...never walk outside while it's raining steel bars? What? I'm not exactly the one to go to for advice. What do you mean you didn't come to me for advice? *Grumbles about disrespectful advice-seekers*
Useful advice aside, welcome. Just don't feed the mutant chickens, or anything else for that matter.

See? You're learning already.
*Tries to eat a cookie only to have it snatched out her hand by a hungry Addman at the last second*
Hmm..how odd. My cookie appears to have turned to air in my very hand....
