Send the Welcoming Committee

[Cottontail]

Hello! The name is Cottontail, but feel free to call me Cotton. Actually, call me anything. It's good to have a name and build a reputation on that. I hail from the distant land of the western United States, where we have mountains, more mountains, and maybe a cow or two. We're not even sure.


I've been hearing of RPNation; the wind whispers it, the birds twitter about it, and the fun fellow down the street has come to my door about it. He's real great. Had a whole book about it and left me with three of the same flyer. I finally decided to pop on in here after an age and a day, and now I'm here introducing myself to some folks. It's like running for office, except I'm not an old, rich white guy, no one has a banner with my face on it, and I know nothing about politics. So it's nothing like running for office.


I'm here simply looking for some good, old-fashioned RP. Like the kind you find homegrown on an old plantation along the Mississippi River. Hope I can find some good RP here, and maybe some even good friends.

*runs in throwing confetti* I'm the unofficial welcoming committee! I am Kestrel, or Kes. Welcome to RpNation! Xylin will stop by with a helpful post full of links and all that jazz. We have a competition to see who can welcome people first. Xylin is the official welcoming committee. Until then, feel free to ask me any questions you have. You can tag me by putting @ before my name. Like this @Cottontail

Greetings and salutations!


Welcome to RP Nation, where Roleplay is our business.


You've found us, congratulations for choosing the best RP site on the whole intertubes, we're glad you're here and a part of the expanding universe that is RP Nation. Also, now you're officially one of the cool kids.


Before you being your quest to becoming one of the old hats here at RPN, please do take a second and take a look at the site rules. You can find them here: INFO - Official Site Rules | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum.


Unlike the Pirate code, they aren't more like suggestions but rules that we take a bit seriously. If, however, you've got a few pieces of eight you'd like to swing our way, we're always more than happy to take it. (I said, the rules weren't suggestions, never said we weren't piratey mate).


Once you've had a glance over the rules there's more information to be had here: Site Questions & Information | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum. You can find something there to answer just about any question you might have.


Now then, I know that you have to answers that you're wanting answered now and the first is, you can join any RP that is open. You can find the different RP genres here: Roleplays | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum


They're set up by genre so if you're looking for that Belgariad fandom RP (sorry, none yet exists here) then you'll know you aren't going to be looking in the futuristic genre. Each genre has an interest check at the top of the page and you can peruse this to see if anyone is wanting to create an RP.


If you are trolling the RPs and you just gotta make your own futuristic version of the Elenium, then you can pick the genre (future or fandom? I don't know!) and create an interest check. In the interest check you can tell the whole world about your RP and what you want to do with it. If you get enough people to say Aye! then you create your RP.


If you have any questions, issues, or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with either the moderators of your forum (the genre), the Super moderators, or even the admin staff. You can do that here: Site Questions & Information


Now, though I don't always give a personal response to what you've said, please believe me when I say that I've read your intro. And because I've read so many intros I've come to the realization that our users have come from a wide, assorted background when it comes to RPing. For many new users a forum based RP is a new thing and it can be a bit unsettling for those who aren't sure of what to do. Some of you are a bit unsure and shy about hopping into an RP. Sometimes we need a little something to dip our toes in. For that purpose I would like to introduce you to Kaedros The Undying. This is an RP hosted by Captain Hesperus and myself. Take a peek at the interest check and see if you would like to join. It is an RP that will always be open to young, old, new, and old users alike.


If you have any questions you need to address to me, please tag me in your comments as I don't always get to every single response in every welcome thread and I end up missing a lot of questions. You can do that by using the @ before my handle.


Again, welcome to RPN and happy RPing.


Xylin

Welcome to the website!

 

[Cottontail]

Thanks to all of you for welcoming in this weary wanderer!

 

[Demon]

I actually laughed reading your post. It's a pleasure to have you here! Let me know if you ever need any help. It's a pleasure to help with creating characters especially.

Hello and welcome!

 

[withoutaname]

the birds twitter about it

Twitter (the SNS) popped into my head before the verb "to twitter" and now I feel sad.


Welcome to the website! Curious, where did you find out about this website?

 

[Cottontail]

@withoutaname: To be honest, I've never used Twitter. The only tweets I know of are the ancient ones of the old, crotchety magpie that lives in the pine tree next door. As for how I found this website, I heard about on Tumblr AGES ago and just kept forgetting to check on it since.


Also, is your icon Toma from Amnesia: Memories. I'm like 95% sure that's Toma. I know that nutty sucker anywhere.

Yes, it's Toma! I like him visually the most of the characters, but unfortunately he was my FIRST route that I chose and when that thing happens half way through the route I was all ".... OH COME ON". Story-wise I liked Kent's the best. It pulled on my heartstrings in all the right ways.
