I know newbie RPers are shy, I was at that stage not so long ago. I still think I'm shy, but instead of shyness, I suppose it's more of being intimidated.Â
See, when I joined up here on the RPC, the things that crossed my mind were that everyone here is so good and so well known, how would someone unknown and little like me possibly get mixed up with the big guns. The other thing is that newbies aren't that well known and well, they're still developing their skills, which creates more of a barrier.
Furthermore, I don't know why... but I get the feeling that when you know someone and have RPed with them frequently you choose to RP with them over 'that other person'. I don't know why this happens, but let's all admit it that this feeling does exist somewhere in our minds.Â
And I know my time zone is really mismatched, and I'm only around on weekends when I'm free, but I sincerely and honestly say that I will RP with anyone and everyone (of course, sane RPers, not random hi let's bang ERPers because I'm bored and I have nothing else to do), and even if I don't know you, that shouldn't become a barrier, so feel free to poke me. In fact, do it!! Do it, I say!!
Edit: I don't know what's wrong with the font!
Mod note by FreelanceWizard: Fixed that font for you.
Fact: Eleni is a joy to RP with.Â
Response: It's true. Like any social group, people are gonna lean towards connections they have more often than try to make new connections. We like being comfortable in our known circles. And there's nothing really wrong with that. When taken to an extreme, it can become a "clique", but more often than not, I see other people ascribing "clique" onto a group than that group actually being closed-off. And once that mentality is set, it stops mattering because judgments get made without actual evidence. This isn't Mean Girls. People don't need to act a certain way or wear some special themed clothes. Treat people with respect and they'll come back for more if the like what they see.Â
