You joined VBS. What brought that on? I don't mind, I think its great there. But I was just wondering. I'm SteveRogers there too so if you need any help ask.

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

Ok, thanks for helping me on this. Anyway, is VBS like an RPG community?

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

Thats what it is basically. If you're going to jump in you'll need to join a newer army, I suggest Badger, Salamander or Flame. I'm commander of Salamander so join it. [Razz]

I see you're making a bit of progress......

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

So then, for the second ection of the profile form, I don't fill it in until I've been in a battle?

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

Do I have to fill in the second part then?? Can anyone answer me this?

Posted by Desdemona (Member # 7100) on :

It depends if you're joining a launch or an army. If you're joining an army, it's always better to write your profile as if your char had some prior experience in the battleroom, unless they're straight out of launch.

Dessy- It took you long enough to find this thread! Gosh, don't you read every thread I start? [Razz]

Al(Is it okay if I call you this or Ally or something? I can never remember how to spell your name)- You need to fill it out if you're going to be in an army, even if you haven't been in a battle.

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

Usually I'm Alt, but Ally is ok.
So I just make up stats then?
It's not like I'd make my character all perfect and superior to Ender, I don't think it would work that way. What do should I join then? Since I'm sucha newbie at this, do I go to a launch?

Posted by Belgarath (Member # 4) on :

well if you did make your character all super heroy and like ender. Im sure theres writers there that will jump down your throat and help you with it. [Evil]

Im sure steve can tell you of his experince of his first week. lol

Bel- How did you know about that? Who are you over there? Pitry and I are friends now, in a know each other over internet but still remember an arguement, lives in a different country kind of way.

Alt(I'll call you this since you seem to prefer it.)- Just make up stats, yes. You don't have to join a launch first. The only launch open right now is 1551 which is pretty far into its plot. I would advise joining either Badger Army, AbeLincoln(Commander of Badger) is a great guy but he sometimes forgets his head is on his shoulders, Flame Army, Andrew is kind of old-fashioned and really funny but his standards are set really high, or Salamander Army, SteveRogers(haha! Its me) will not be described because I'm him. [Razz]

Just e-mail your profile to the commander of your choice army after you've read VBS for Halfwits, which is very important.

Posted by Desdemona (Member # 7100) on :

Centipede is also active, somewhat, although our commander has left us. cochick has assumed temporary command, however.

Steve, I have a sneaking suspicion that Belgarath is Chris Kidd...

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

I don't think he is. I don't think that Chris has been a Jatraquero since A Long Time Ago. He has a username that is Chris Kidd anyway. He might be though. I'm hoping he'll tell us.

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

Alt- Are you figuring things out? Its kind of confusing over there I admit, but its worth it. I'm sure Dessy would agree, wherever she is.

Posted by Chris Kidd (Member # 2646) on :

hey Steve Ive been lurking at hatrack since 1997. i love reading alot of the topics. i may jump in a fluff thread now and then. oh also if you havent noticed i use the same email with all my characters at VBS. [Big Grin]

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

So you're not Belgarath? [Dont Know]

Posted by Chris Kidd (Member # 2646) on :

LOL Steve I'll give you one hint what do Silk and Belgarath have in common.

[Blushing]

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

Are they both characters that you wrote? So you are Belgarath? That would explain why you made the reference to my somewhat bumpy beginnings.
