I don't know anything about the plot going on.

But this game is hard for someone new to get into. So many cliques.

I've seen a clique within the cast I play, but I don't know about other cliques. I completely agree with that it's extremely hard to get a footing in the game. I feel sorry for those newbies just joining with the current plot going on.

hello poor pitiful outcasts who aren't able to grow a pair and actually interact with the already established people

jesus christ rpers are withering daisies

But anon

If everyone doesn't just magically come to my intro where I ask where I am and where my castmates are

What am I supposed to do

???

I love you.

Good to see there are still petty shitstains whining and feeding the whining in this game. I'd be worried if you all actually went tolerant and reasoning.

Oh for crying out loud, learn to take a joke you silly goose.

I can suggest some players to hit up who are good at rping with anyone.

Off the top of my head I know the people who are really good at spreading the love are Alphonse, Chloe, Lightning and Robert Leckie. What other characters are really social to the newbies?

The Torchwood cast is super friendly (just Jack and Ianto now). The staff at OOG are usually pretty cool too.

Not too sure about cliquey, but it is an unwelcoming game.

Disagreed. It became my home game just because of how awesome and welcoming everyone is.

what game have you been looking at, because amat's the exact opposite of unwelcoming

It really can depend on who you're apping in. I apped in as one character and despite my best efforts got zero traction or CR; I apped in another more social/popular character and I have CR up to my armpits. But when I had just that first character I definitely felt unwelcome -- and it's not like I just put up an intro post and expected people to work for me. I commented on people's plot with me's, put up some of my own, got involved in ongoing plots, tagged into threads, but players would drop and my threads would get drop and I can just really easily see how frustrating of a game this can be for some people to get traction in.

Clearly you've never been to Zodion

That being said, I think this is a causality of there being a giant plot running right now, and some players are out of town for cons or other things.

If you get yourself a plurk or start adding everyone on the plurk you have, people will be more apt to play with you. I had absolutely no one playing with my new characters and I've been in the game for years, but when I got more active with my plurk again, people started interacting with them all of a sudden.

If you don't want to use plurk though, I'd say just comment to people's entries if you can. I've never had any problems getting CR when I put in the effort. It's just really hard to comment to the same post by newbies every single month over and over because it's basically the same intro and that gets tiring.

I don't know if it's cliquey exactly but it's hard to get footing if you're not persistent.

I dunno if I'd say it's hard to get into but yeah it is cliquey as hell.

so many defensive anons in this thread

holy shit people on the internet have opinions? stop the fucking presses.

Aren't there, though? Heaven forbid someone have reserves or be unhappy with how their time in the game has turned out. Nope, they've been doing it wrong and everything is roses and sunshine and glowing penises smelling of lilies. Utterly aggravating.

you sound defensive

shitty attitudes? why would i ever?
