This might be a tip to help members feel welcome, or maybe it's too much. I don't know. I'm pretty self-conscious about my writing abilities (I've logged over 200 hours at my college's writing center just to keep my grades up) and I've never RP'd before, so I was really shy when I started out. AND I was still trying to grasp walk-up/join in etiquette. Â In my first FC, I'd often log on and see everyone in the same area, presumably RPing. I'd ask in the OOC chat "hey are you guys RPing?" but what I really meant was "looks like you're RPing, can I join or are you at a no walk up point?" and I'd mostly get silence and sometimes I'd get a "yep."Â
So now, if I'm RPing in a group setting and I see someone log in that might not know something is going on, I try to send a message: "hey we're doing X at <pos>, come join us."Â
Doing that I think lets people know whats going on and that they're welcome to jump in without feeling like they might be interrupting/intruding/fucking up the story.
