An example of a sensitive cheeky offensive wannabe.

Leonida Introduction

I saw an advert for an RPG I thought I might be interested in trying out; I often do this when I'm researching a new project. As I went through the absurdly draconian sign-up process, I felt that I had to see what was at the end of the rainbow, so to speak.

To be frank, I found it somewhat offensive, but it's a good enough ploy to get people to register - it's very compelling in an "I'll show you" kind of way. I'd be interested to see the quality of writing that's actually on this group.

Oh brother, not another "I am offended" person, as you put it, to be quite frank did you read our Constructive Posting Policy before joining as was required? Rather than try to test us, it is you who will now be tested to see if your performance merits inclusion within our RPGs.

Yes, I read it of course, which is why I went through the process. I'd say that the main fault is that whilst it's compelling enough, you really have no idea what you're signing up for until you get here.

I just think it's a little over the top, which is...ahh..."constructive" criticism, n'est pas? This has obviously been mentioned before, judging by your prickly reaction.

I find it's an interesting way of working, however - you seem to actively want to put people off joining , which I guess is a good thing for your group as it will discourage many who just want to see what's going on.

Sadly, I have nosey nature (goes with the job) and I'm intrigued enough stick it out. But in truth I'm just learning to navigate the forums via the site map and what topics are going on, so I've not really been able to add anything more than a few points on...Superman...of all things. Oh, and football.

Looking forward to being tested, naturally as I like a challenge.

Cheers

Your opening statements leave no evidence of that. One cannot criticize something they have not even used and I would dare say that such a position on a first post shows your long term Membership here is likely to come to a quick end either through your lack of being able to integrate or not really having enough gusto to keep up.

However, since you say you like a challenge we will see - surprise me.

This is an open Community, you do not have to join to read the level of Posts / Discussions here, so your opinion - which is what it is... just opinion is unfounded.

Leonida Introduction

I tried to access the superhero rpg, and ended up at the join here section, which is where I started out...

Not say that I'm faultless of course - as I said, I'm learning the navigation, so it could be amidst all the warnings to ensure my spelling and grammar were correct I just ended up in the wrong area and could have viewed the forum without joining it? I don't know.

And why are you focussing on this anyway? Are you a last-word merchant...fair enough, I promise not to say anything else on this subject in this post.

I've made other posts here, all in topics that you're involved in, can't you comment on those? You know - that would be me trying to integrate as you say.

So that's my last word in this thread.

Hi Leonida, welcome to the forum. I don't do the rpg myself, but I think that you have to put 30 constructive postings on first to be able to play them, like I say, I'm not an expert on this, but I think you'll find more information on this on either the site map or by pressing on the FAQ which can be found here:

Hope you enjoy your time here. Best wishes, Diane.
