Doormat Three: Return of the Welcome

[Cindy Calloway]

Huh, that was supposed to be "best of luck" (fixed now).
Hitting SEND without PREVIEW shows exactly how thoughtful some of us are...

Lol I read it so fast I didn't even notice sth's missing :)

Btw I’ve already picked out my avatar candidates hehe. There’s honestly not much to do as an unapproved member...

Almost everything that's PG-13 is open. Social games, worldbuilding, SFW 1-on-1 and group roleplays, interaction threads like this one... Yes, it is quite restricted, but it gives you something to occupy yourself with and make connections. And the process is shorter than when I applied, most decisions take a couple of days (depending on staff availability, they are human too...)

Thanks so much for the guide! And yes, I've been browsing the posts I can access as an unapproved user. I kind of feel like you're everywhere (like Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream). I saw you discussing whether unapproved users can interact under other people's intro posts (something I've been wondering about myself), and I also saw you recommended Tails of Monkeys (I've read a little bit of it already!).

Well, for RPs I prefer to update my profile a bit more before jumping in. I'm the kind of person who likes to get all dolled up before a party.

I like people, I find them fascinating. Unfortunately, my miswired brain tends to get me in trouble, resulting in Oberon's court scolding, or even sanctioning me for my shenanigans.

That I have. @Catherine is a good friend and a fun writer, not to mention very approachable and highly recommended.

Can't wait to see your party attire 😄

Hi everybody!

I'm origazn! I'll be hanging out here with all'y'all huddled masses, my fellow wretched refuse and tempest-tost and all that. Hope everybody's doing well!

A shower thought came to me that I wanted to share, with people who might appreciate it: the next time a party of PCs shows up at my game's local tavern, seeking adventure, at the table next to them they should find a group of regular locals playing their own in-game TTRPG. There's polyhedral dice in fantasy settings!

Whether they have access to an in-game printer for character sheets is the question.

[Al Terego]

Hi everybody!

Hello, hello!
Welcome to E!

I'm origazn!

Of course you are.

And I am... Well, apparently I have a choice between a huddled mass and a wretched refuse -- not the greatest selection admittedly, but Zathras does not complain.

And it's turtles all the way down...

Best of luck on a speedy approval, friend!
You seem a decent fellow, I hope to see you around.

[origazn]

Right?! I'm kind of hoping the PCs will invite themselves into the other game, one of them will take over its GM role while the others make their own characters or buddy up with the NPCs already playing characters, and derail the entirety of my planned session.

OR ... perhaps the goof deserves more thought, and the in-game game ought to foreshadow events about to "really" happen. Hmm hmm hmm.

[Al Terego]

You do realize that you're talking to one, right?

[origazn]

oh!! I thought this was the place where we all took ourselves extremely seriously!

Yo!! What’s up fellow sentients. Can you believe it’s almost the end of the year? Why must time fly so quickly…

[RedPhoenix]

Hey we still got three months! Welcome to E! :)
