I know I read this somewhere in here ..

[Navaria Tarkin]

.. but too lazy to find where.

Is it me or is Xazor welcoming three new people in recruitment that are the same person?

[Xazor]

Ya know.....I was wondering that myself. I think that one person is playing like, ten people! I keep greeting new ones.......but they all seem the same.....all have the same writing style...kinda like my padawan; Clay. I am just thinking it is him.....hmmmm......maybe Marcus could do some checking on the admin level. I mean, they don't even sound serious.....just like...okay, train me. I think it is fine when you have an alternate Jedi character like Sage and I do.....but when you have like, ten.....that is a little ridiculous...

[Marcus QDunn]

Point out who they are. I did a quick check and their network addresses are wildly different, or at least the ones I checked. Personally, they remind me of young(ish) kids. You wuuld be surprised how similar under 14's seem to write in the beginning. You could be looking at a set of friends.

Let me know who you want looked at further.

[Xazor]

Clay Dennatta, Ulic Dennatta, and everyone that I have greeted in the recruitment center in the last day or so. Finalkwest, the Aiki dude, Viper....etc.....

Thanks Marcus! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[Satine Capashen]

Mark~ I didn't write like that when I first got here, did I?

[Marcus QDunn]

Oh geez, now your asking me to remember back that far?!?!



:-p

Hard to say. Everyone who has been around 2+ years would be highly embarrassed by what they were writing like in the beginning.

OMG.... WAS I THAT BAD, MARK!!!!! <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/blah.gif ALT=":-|">

I've been here over 2 years..YIKES!! <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/hideing_behind_computer.gif ALT=":hiding">

[Sage Hazzard]

I am determined to dig up my first post on my aniversery, so everyone should see the horror that was my ridiculous writing. Heck, I might do it soon just to get a few laughs.

People usually suck when they first come here, then get better. Maybe someone advertised on a board for us, and we got some of the people from there? Perhaps that board has younger people, which might explain the poor and sloppy style.

[Morgan Evanar]

'Haps. I can't stand AOLers though.

(Yus, I am an elitist snob.)

[Marcus QDunn]

Well....

I have to admit I have not seen 10 genuine newbloods for years! I went into 1337 h4X0r mode and did some checks. These new people are genuine and ALL different.

When was the last time we got 10 newbies within two weeks?

Is this a sign of the Member storm coming? I dont know, but you really have to think and wonder if it could happen

Remember to promote!

Remember to welcome new players!

Everyone keep an eye out at the Recruitment centre!




Now as for Writing styles----

Over the three years I've been RP'ing at SWFans, You just learn how to pick people...


1) Not much spelling or grammar, feels rushed - young males.
2) Want to get with someone fast - young females
3) Want to fight and get promoted fast - young males again
4) Want to relationship RP more - young females


Generally women post more in a post, spell better and structure the flow of their posts better. They also tend to have smaller characters. Males tend to go for whatever punchest hardest.

Also, females tend to stay around. Generally they are better roleplayers to start out with. Males often use multiple accounts, women tend not to. Troublemakers are almost always male.

Now given that you might think males dominate Net life, that is not true for roleplaying. Often it's noticable females make up a high percentage of the community.

What is very odd however is the number of working partnerships I've made with females. And some very productive ones. It's alos notible roleplayers often form up partnerships as well, eg Ogre / Dale / Soojin, DT / LMJ (which is why banning her hurt, we used to be one hell of a team), Marcus / Arya, Deville / Tondry, Sanis / Sasserri, Gav / LV / LW coming to mind. There are more and I see one or two more forming now.

Eh, enough of my old timer waffling <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[Sage Hazzard]

Hey, I tried to go to the old board, to find my first ever post... and I can't find it. Can someone help me out? That's a peice of history.

[Ryla Relvinian]

I would have to respectfully disagree with you on two points. (of course, these may be exceptions to the rule... and keep in mind that they were not necessarily here) First of all, I have known at least one male poster who sought out the ladies more than any lady I knew. Secondly, I knew of a few ladies who were much more concerned with the "sharp, pointy end" of the deal... :]

But still, I do agree.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I'm trying to work out which gender I fall under in your analysis, Marcus <img src=http://darthogre.clanpages.com/sorsha/pics/misc/mneh.gif ALT=":mneh">

[Marcus QDunn]

So am I, oh pervy elf fancier

[Dasquian Belargic]

<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> Maybe it's both ?

[Marcus QDunn]

In your case..... what I said doesnt apply at all <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

[Navaria Tarkin]

I think I been here for two years ... Wait no, two years this July I think. Or was it June O_o

Frelling account got deleted too many times for me to remember -_-

[Satine Capashen]

Sometime soon...That's al lI know.

And as for the "Whatever punches hardest" thing. I'm wondering how I fit there with my little 14 year old char. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[Dasquian Belargic]

Alpha must have a pretty hard punch since he's been toppling Vega in our fight <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/magtongue.gif ALT=":p">

[Marcus QDunn]

Hey, when your small, it's easier to knee someone in the groin

[Sage Hazzard]

I always pick light characters that fight tough. I just dig that more than muscle bound brutes.

I think I joined up in August 15th 1999, but I can't find that thread!!

[Satine Capashen]

I don't have that hard of a punch. I just fight dirty most of the time. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[AmazonBabe]

<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

It's not Attack of the Clones! It's Attack of the Newbies!

Seriously, though, if this is the start of the influx we're gonna get from E2, does this mean we're gonna have to start taking on more than one Padawan? O_o

:: Prays this isn't so. ::

[Marcus QDunn]

Eh, I think it could be. I saw Calheima online today.

[AmazonBabe]

Cal? Here?? :: Looks around. :: O_o

Wait, I seem to remember her being Leia1031's Padawan once upon a time. :: Tries to remember that far back. :: Ow. >_<

[Satine Capashen]

Hurts don't it? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[AmazonBabe]

:: Rubs temples and nods her head. ::

Boy, does it ever... O_<

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

Ogre, Dale and Sorsha

Oh yeah...the happy lil trio that make mine and Luke's life a living "H E Double hockeysticks" <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> ;)

Love ya Nav/Dale

Cal.... O_o Long time no see!!

[Sage Hazzard]

Cal, Sage's first love. Ah, that'll send him into a spiraling ball of despair. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

I'm glad we've got new people. I just hope they don't all start posting in unison, nonsense posts.

[Marcus QDunn]

They havent so far

pub56.ezboard.com/fgjofrm...=241.topic (http://pub56.ezboard.com/fgjofrm4.showMessage?topicID=241.topic)

wow. .. now bad for a Padawan eh?

[Xazor]

Yeah......she is at the Forcesects board that I am a Master at. Her writing is pretty good too for being a padawan.....

[Marcus QDunn]

eh....


Astral travel?


Phase Shifting?!?!


It's Ogre isnt it.

j/k :-p

[Satine Capashen]

sounds like...

[Navaria Tarkin]

No, not Ogre lol. I was pointing it out because i felt a Padawan shouldn't be able to do those things as Anbira pointed out

Hell it took me an entire RP as Dale to figure out how to go Ethereal lol
