Hello! I think I'm lost.

At least until I get to introducing myself & being introduced to the roleplay itself :D

So. Yeah. Hello! I'd glady respond to "Calla"... that is, if this name here isn't already taken by some Mizahar #ElitePlayer :D In that case, "Bob" will do.
I'm female, I'm fairly young. Found about Mizahar from few friends. Which seems like a fun hobby to immerse myself into.

I have read the starting guides and I have noticed similarities with those roleplay forums I do have experience with - but those are small, local forums, not even English, and with such a close-knit community no wonder I feel lost with this forum, all world and story, looming over me. What does my ~5 years of experience in the Small Pond even mean when confronting the intricacies of this world right here?

Mizahar. Yeah, I think the best way to learn and find myself a nice spot in your world is through practice and example. Because, well, my fingers will be trembling when filling out my character sheet, but that's the point of excitement, is it not?

Please be fair when pointing out my mistakes! Because I want to learn!
Also - since English is my second language, please forgive me sometimes mixing up grammar, stylistic word order and/or wrong use of "is/are" and other such things. Do point them out, though. I'd appreciate it.

Also: " What sort of RP style is your favorite?"... there is... more than one style...?
Does "3rd person limited/subjective point of view" count? :D

I do enjoy subjective storytelling - as long as the player him/herself can deal with ooc subjectivity and in-game point of view separately - which I hope wont be a problem, both from others & from myself. Not that I'd think it would be something to be expected from me... I just don't feel I'm somehow above such human failings. So, if something - or anything, really! - seems amiss, do point it out, please!

But, really, all questions about styles and favorite things in roleplaying... We'll have to see how it "plays" out, won't we? :D

Well, hello there missus!

No, you are definitely NOT lost. You just followed the path of those awesome roleplay experiences, and that path leads right into our abstractly beautiful universe filled with pain and chaos. Step right in, take a sit and drink something! I do believe you are tired of walking the harsh roads, and now that you've finally arrived you need to rest!

First thing is not to underestimate yourself! The small ponds also breed lots of talent, and most of our roleplayers came from different backgrounds to add their own peculiar talent into this big-fish pond of ours. I'm sure that, if you settle with us, you'll talent will help shape our webside into something even more beautiful.

Take a few days, read a bit about the lore and start developing the plots while you work on your CS. If you have any questions, you can always PM someone (either a player or moderator) and you shall be helped with whatever issues you may encounter! The chat is also a great alternative to solve doubts and get a giggle or two if you can stand our jests :P

Welcome to Mizahar! I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay!

Hello! I think I'm lost.

The Blighter is right on all of the above.

In chat though, direct your questions to everyone, but expect Mods (Chat/Founders are colored Green/Red default) to answer quickly, or some of the more advanced players of the world (those who have been around a long time).

Also, moderators are colored onsite as well, most are shades of green or blue, purple is my favorite mods (and they will help you with your CS too) ;) Purple are the CSLs btw.

Welcome!

Graders Please Note :
As Ball is getting closer and closer to maxing out Pyken as a skill, I would like to request that in places where Ball is not doing enough to constitute Pyken XP if Pyken technique lores could be issued instead.

Examples of proper XP level for Pyken would be: Ball developing or refining his technique by adding new thing against an actual moving target, not a dummy.

The use of basic skills alone are not enough to accomplish XP at Ball's current level of Pyken.

Thank you.

Welcome to Mizahar! I have a whole long drawn out post that usually accompanies my welcome posts, however... That can wait, here have some movie nostolgia for starters:

There now that that is done! Let's see what we can do for Mizahar for you? New eh?

Well I highly recommend reading the following - Starred stuff are things you better read else won't get any help. :

After becoming acquainted with the lore intimately, do not fear! There are hundreds of Helping Hands (Totally intended there) to assist you on your way to the Eternal Bog of Mizahar - You can find them in the Chat, green people are chat moderators and they are highly knowledgable and are super friendly, if they are not available for whatever reason, ask around several of the players there are vets and know a fair deal of the lore. If they do not know something, they will redirect you to someone else or try to locate the answer for you. if at anytime you see a red name in Chat they are Founders, turn to them if they are actively around and they can help you as well!

Storytellers of the varies cities that are open sometimes frequent chat in a variety of guises, if in doubt ask who runs what city private message them on the site (use the little envelope to the left underneath their name). Remember they are the founts of knowledge for a specific city, so they are helpful for that place utterly and completely. Use them!

Thank you for joining and if you need help, always ask! You can reach me by the private message icon to the left if I am not on chat.

Which way do you want to go? Up or Down?

Attention Players, Graders, and Storytellers:

A character sheet does not require the green checkmark for the player to roleplay. This is just a notification to all that the character sheet has passed through the Liaisons thorough checklist and meets Mizahar standards.

All sheets with a large red X or a speech bubble beside their thread title do not recieve grades and cannot continue threads they are currently involved in until all issues have been fixed and verified.

Why, Astator, but should I go to the Storytellers, really? Because if I'd go that way, I'd go straight to the castle :D

But yeah, thank you guys! The chat has been a great help, too. I've already started working on my CS - now I just have to clear some things with Nightmare and Plume, and Syliras should be welcoming me any time now.
