OK. So for those of you who know me, I'm very new to the world of Mizahar. But I am doing all I can to follow the rules and learn all I can from the amazing people who have been helping me. Anyway, after seeing the announcement from Gossamer, I watched a little more carefully while on the chat. I noticed that a lot of rules were, indeed, being ignored. Or possibly people never read them. Heck, maybe even read them ONCE then never again. I'm not going to criticize anyone because... 1. I'm new and I don't really think it's my place to talk to more elder members like I know all. Yes I should point out to them that what they are doing is against the rules, but I'm not going to criticize them. 2. I'll do all I can NOT to, but I could just as easily start ignoring the conduct when I spend more time on the chat and become more comfortable. I don't know, but if I do ever do that I WANT someone to tell me. 3. I know that once in a while I make a mistake, just like others do. And it may be unintentional. I remember a few instances where I would complain about being bored. However, when someone pointed out to me what I was doing, I stopped doing it. I have yet to comment on my boredom since. I am also aware that like text conversations, chatting can be taken out of contense. I may try to crack a joke or make a comment with no intention of insulting anyone at all, but someone else could. No one REALLY knows how I'm saying something other than me. So misunderstandings can happen. Another reason why I would like someone to point out when I am doing something wrong so that I can fix the problem. I'll tell you all a little about myself later, but for now I want to point out my observations as a newcomer to Mizahar. Something else I noticed, and I am sure that others have too, is the lore pages. The wiki needs a lot of pages that don't exist yet, and some DO exist just barely have any info. Now I would LOVE to ask for permission to make pages, however being so new I don't see what all I could do. Now don't hesitate to tell me if I'm wrong, but I think the pages for gods and such would fall on the head admins since they would know the most on what direction to take Mizahar. Also another comment on the chat. The randomness. Fun is fun and I enjoy being random. However I believe that there is a certain point where things need to be toned down a notch. And I am aware that that comment is a little hypocritical. I know that I go a little far at times as well and I apologize. Something else with the whole randomness is I think that if there was just a million posts about cows and ducks and such, and a new comer comes on for the first time to the chat. They may be a little intimidated and afraid to ask for help. Then they wouldn't get to enjoy the experience of this AMAZING rp. And yes it IS AMAZING! I absolutely love this place for many reasons. However, the two top reasons are such... 1. Most of the people here are extremely friendly. Now I do say MOST. On a few occasions I have been directly insulted with no regard for how I would take it. But as I said, most people here are really nice to each other. 2. The fact that your PC must WORK to get anywhere. If they want money? Get a job. Want an awesome weapon? Get some money. You want to have amazing skills and magic? Work for it. Train. Someone can't just come on, have a giant flaming sword, who can also control the elements and can beat anyone in a fight. No. You have to work for it. Anyway I'll post more but I'm a little tired so yeah... rules? IDK if you do something I don't like, I'll just give you a heads up with no real conciquences, then add a new rule to this post. Oh yeah one more thing, I no my grammer and spelling is probably off. My spellcheck is busted and plan on fixing it ASAP! |
