 |
|
In our exploration of this place, it seems that we should introduce ourselves in this section, correct?
If so, we are Taxim, and it is a pleasure to meet you all. We have come from a different RP forum after it bored us considerably, we then stumbled upon this one while we were looking around "Gameware" is it?
We are not too experienced with role-playing, though we do know the basic rules and such, though if new players are unwanted, please say so. |

Tsk tsk, new players are always welcomed! I'm sure that someone will come around with the stale canned greeting soon, but for now- welcome to the Dojo, and if you have any questions to ask, we'd be more the glad to answer it.

| Yes we do, if you do not mind. We have created a character from the profile that Embri has set in the Hall Of Records, should we just post it there or do we have to gain permission of some sorts? |

Yes, just simply post it there. There's no need for "permission". Also, if you want to further explain on a weapon technology (or something of that sort), or a race or species, they go into the underground bunker and the genetic repository respectively.

Is that Latin I detect? Saluto! I think I'll wait for your character sheet to find out why you refer to yourself in plural pronouns.

| Yes, that seems wise. We had guessed that at least some of you may ask that question. We have written a brief note why as to not confuse people, though if you still wish to hear more then maybe we should write a longer version. |

Hmm.. if you did write a longer version, you should probably put it in the Amphitheatre. Sounds like it'll be an interesting story to me...
And I must admit that I find this whole idea very intersting and unique. Reminds me of a book I once read but I can't seem to place my tongue on the title right now...
Care to enlighten me on how this idea came about?

| Hmm.... To explain would be a long and most probably dull story. But to put it the short way, the character popped into our heads and we began to develop it. Now here we are. |

Ah, greetings to you Taxim. I'm Swix, one of the many resident 'Multiple Personality' people here. Or controller of a small army, I suppose it depends on how you look at it  .
I am also one of the Moderators, specifically, of The Challenge Arena waaaay down at the bottom of the page there. And, should you wish it, I'm also glad to help in the Training Dojo.
Now that that's over with, I bring you Stale Canned Welcome!

Welcome to the Blackstar Role Playing Dojo!
If you are new to the world of Role Playing, you may wish to start at theTraining 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.
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. |

Seeing as you came from Gameware, I won't bother with the skull-shaped basket warning.
Welcome to Blackstar, I hope you enjoy your time here! We need a new canned greeting; the current one is going stale.

No... We were not a member of Gameware, we only browsed the RP section for five minutes. We found it mostly pointless threads filled with spam, but we did happen across the link to this Blackstar Dojo while we were in there.We know nothing of this "Skull-Shaped Basket" that you are talking about.
Forgive us for asking, but... Where are these commands that you have used? |

Ah... I'll explain. It's a luffy feature that our awesome admins have worked up.
In certain areas, whenever you post you get yen which is the currency of the dojo.
You can use this yen to buy things at the shops at the top, participate in the lottery, stash in the bank, or bet in auctions.
At the shops, you can also synth items by buying the required "ingredients" and putting them together to make a new one at a synth shop.
Some of these items are usuable as indicated by SFOT.
If you click on item list, you'll see some of the items that are available. It's not the complete list however- you'll have to find some of the recipes yourself.
Also, the Blackstar Wiki has more info 'bout this.
Hope this explanation helps.
