The way I RP seems to be different from most people here and some of made me feel like the way I do it is wrong, my artwork wasn't well received, and often I am afraid my opinion will be ridiculed because I see others that are. There also seemed to be a lot of pointless bickering and arguing. Not sure if anyone noticed but I haven't really contributed much lately, however I did when I first joined. 
However, I have also made some friends. So I decided to get over my fear and post my concerns so that hopefully this can be remedied. Overall people are friendly and probably didn't even realize that they can seem condescending to someone new and sensitive.

Which sucks I know. But don't stop sketching! You should be proud of it! It looks just as good as anything I've ever done and you didn't have to cover it up with paint and shading effects to make it that way!

Just to clarify my profile pic is not my sketch. It was beautifully done by Nya.

Thank you

There's a plan in the works. A glorious, magical plan that will act as the ultimate stepping stone to our success. A stepping stone that will take us to the very mountain tops so that we may witness as the gods themselves weep for not having come up with it first. We will the proceed stick our tongues out at those thunderous skies and laugh as we dance in their sorrow!

In other words were going to do an open rp thing on Skype. 

It'll open to anyone and everyone. The story itself is still in the works but be rest assured that it will Not be lore heavy. You don't have to know everything about Eorzea to participate - just be sure to know which end of a Chocobo is the front and you'll be good. 

Tyronis has been super awesome and even offered to help me set the whole thing up which I greatly appreciate. 

In his own words this will simply be a 'trial run.' It's not serious, it's not a big deal, and you won't be black listed if you make a mistake. This is just for fun and maybe even a little practice, a way to get your feet wet if you've never rp'd before. 

I've never rp'd on Skype so it'll be a new experience for me too!

If you have any comments, or opinions, or just want to chime in a thought then please reply. If you think this is the stupidest idea ever then...uh *insert witty and tasteful comeback here*

I'd like to make it happen the following weekend (not this one) though that's still up in the air.

Any thoughts?

I still haven't really RPed much with anyone. Nothing super heavy, I guess? I'm still really looking forward to doing it in-game, but kind of terrified at the same time.

But yes...just kind of chiming in and uh. ... Something. 


... Hi.

Don't worry man, I'm the same way. Especially with Eva - that girl is scary. I mean have you read her stuff? Holy crap. Stop intimating me with your awesomeness, damn it! And that goes for the rest of you too! *glares*

But no worries! I've read your posts and I'm sure you'll be great to rp with! Don't be afraid to look me up! Or just message and we can do something on Skype...though I'm still trying to figure that out. I'm pretty incompetent with a computer when it involves anything beyond video games. Steam? No problem. Facebook? God help us all.

Ooh just read your wiki page. I really like it. Your character is interesting! He reminds me of a bunny
