Ah sadly to say this first post is getting a total relift by me, Masquanade. I must say I came in here and found I was quite saddened by what was going on here. So I'm going to make a clearer first page. 3nodding
exclaim Purpose
The Purpose of this is to get to know your fellow guildmates. To make friends. To learn something new and interesting. 3nodding To bring one big happy band nerd guild family together whee heart
exclaim How to Play
Let's say Oggy is above me in the thread. I will post:
Masquanade
^Oggy likes frogs
THEN the next person will post something about me. Now then here's the TRICKY PART! You cannot post something about my avatar's physical appearance OR anything on the "information" bar- the little bar that appears under everyone's post OR anything someone has said in the past- because that's cheating. Such as the following will not really be . . . "very good ones."
Quote:
^has a devil tail
Quote:
^has AIM
Quote:
^has a house
Quote:
^has a cool sig
Why? Because it defeats the purpose of getting to know something about that person. I can go to ANYONE ON GAIA and tell you that. All I have to do is type in their screenname in the memberlist search button. It's called being lazy. If you don't want to play and part of playing is putting forth an effort to get to know someone- then don't play. It's really that simple.
So then once you have something about me you will post about me and then whoever posts below you will put something about you- so on and so on.
exclaim Help
Need some help on "getting to know the person above you?" Some helpful hints- trying going into their profile, reading their journal if you can, or going into their past post and seeing if you dig up a good fact about them. If they have they same instant messenger as you- why not try IMing them or just simply PM them on gaia. Threads here in the guild that can help are ones like:
-Autobiography Thread
-I've Never Thread
-Regional Threads
-Chatterbox
-What's Your Instrument's Name?
-Piccy Thread
-Band Stories Thread (called Band Hijinks I believe)
-Adminstrative Thread if you're doing one of the mods
Try going to the sticky and going through the links we provided there to our more popular threads and see what you can find. 3nodding
Have fun. whee heart
