Welcome to Gaia! ::

Has anyone heard of / used, the Mutants and Masterminds rule book?

Completely true. XD

VAlK! Hi!

My friends Brother was going there for the divers position but then he got switch to tank mech. in Benning

Is that why? Hm, and here I thought you were military. biggrin

Schools starting.

I know that I have not been here long enough to really have that much of a voice. But I think that a good way to improve things would be if someone would contact all of the elders and alphas etc and request activity. Not to stir trouble, but I would imagine that if a elder or alpha etc was inactive then they are not serving there purpose. To me I feel as though keeping a race active is the job of its leader. Just like in the Naruto guild I am in, it is up to the Kage of a village to recruit and keep there village populated. Also, if some of the race leaders are inactive with no signs of coming back, maybe it would be a good idea to replace or remove them. Im sure that the possibility of becoming the next higher up would be a very good incentive for people to role play.

Example: Most people that rp as a wolf, (especially males) has a similar goal of either A. Having there own pack/being alpha, or B. Being part of an active pack. The pack mentality is something that is very prominant in wolves, and as such people who rp wolves tend to enjoy such things. So in order for the wolf race to be succesful there needs to be an active and participating alpha or it will all fall appart. As cool as some people might think that they are, lone wolves do not last long rp wise, it becomes less and less entertaining and looses the thrill of rping as the prideful wolf.

The same can be said about covens. Most people who rp vampire, (although enjoying being solo) would more likely than not enjoy it more if they had an active coven with active roles.

Humor he here but I would imagine that a 1 on 1 rp fight between a wolf and vampire vs having a 3 on 3 fight with a pack vs a coven. I think its clear which would be more entertaining.

From there, you would find more people activly roleplaying, which makes the threads look active, which means older members more inclined to post as they see that the guild is not dead, which then opens the possibility to recruit. At the moment, it would be impossible to recruit new people because the guild looks inactive.


Another good way to solve this would be if people try and keep there rp moving. Make up a reason to go to other threads, try not to always post and rp in the same area. Remember that it only takes 1 new post in a thread for it to appear active. Activity is the key to more activity, if you start off rping in a bar, try and find a reason to move to the park, or the graveyard etc. This is how you breath life into a guild. Use the knowledge of gaia's functions to your advantage, realise that a few post in one spot, will make that thread highly orange and look active, the recent post date will be current and as such will make the guild look like it is active. When new ppl come into the guild, they will see that the threads all have recent post and will be more inclined to stay. Then when you see new people or a person alone, try to make it clear that they were welcome in your rp. Even if you have to pm them or leave an OOC message. We all have to come together and not just do constant 1 on 1s, this is how a guild rivies.


Anyways, those are my 5 cents on the matter. Sorry, I talk to much + this is still my favorite place to rp my lycan character and until i finish my guild, i will be here trying my best to be part of the solution as minor as it might be.

I know what you mean, sometimes the initial attraction when you meet someone with similar interest and ways of thinking. Back in high school I met a girl and we got really serious. After about two years of dating her and her family moved away and I was very depressed, and thought that I would not be meeting anyone new for a very long time.

And then, randomly by chance, I saw "her" sitting alone in the cafeteria. I had met her before because we were in the same club. (I was vice prez of Club Japan at the time and she was a member). I took pity on her because she was alone and decided to go and sit by her. We chatted, found out we go to the same tech center, so every day we would eat lunch together then go get on our bus to go to our tech centers. She was in vet tech, I was in web design. So with lunch and the bus ride to and from the tech center + club meetings we spent a lot of time together and became very close friends really fast.

She listened to me and all my nerdy talk, I listened to her about all her white girl drama that I had never experienced and some how we were both interested. She showed me a video of some ravers doing the melbourne shuffle and showed me hardstyling. I fell in love with raving, it changed my life. She invited me to go to katsucon with her, I went... and then.. I met her boy friend... But, none the less i had a good time, enjoyed myself. Her boyfriend got sick and so me and her went to the rave together. Smoked weed and danced the entire night, one of the best nights of my life. After that we got closer and closer, she was my Taqq and I was her Ele. She cosplayed as various people, and talked me into cosplaying as my character from s4. She introduced me to a lot of the things that I hold dear to me.

My graduation date came, she was a year behind me, my ex girlfriend came back to town for my graduation, needless to say I instantly fell back in with her. I was lonely, and Taqq was taken (which I respected) me and my ex got back together, we moved out, and dont get me wrong I love her. But recently I found out that Taqq's boyfriend had been cheating on her. She sent me a message saying "Where the ******** are you? Im so lonely, and I miss you" I sadly had to tell her that i had moved by to my home town in florida with my current girlfriend.

She told me that I should leave her, I told her that I cant, she said that my current gf would never understand me, i told her that she was right. Raving, Gaming, Anime, Cosplay, generally all the things that I enjoy, my current girlfriend does not and she actually feels embarrassed by me when i do some things such as wear my rave gear in public. But.. Its too late now.


In a month, there is another big rave in my old city, I will be going there for an entire weekend. Taqq will be there. I will get her out of my system. One more time, im going to get high and allow myself to be in love with someone that I shouldnt.




.... Once again, I talk too much. @black, you got me started sorry. D=

Surprisingly, telling your problems is much easier over the internet to strangers than it is to people that you know in real life. I think its because even the utterance of your inner feelings to people who are actually part of your life could result in it changing. While speaking on it over gaia to friendly strangers does not.

What I said above is something I deal with silently, how much worse it would make me feel if my actual girl friend were to know I felt that way, or if the other raver girl were to know that I actually did have love for her but was choosing someone else.

Anyways, I suppose thats just the way it goes. Raver Love, and Artist Love lol.
