What i'm talking about it, new people (such as myself) join and try to get in rp, only to be ignored. I'm not sure what this is about but it seems like this game is full of cliques and they do not seem to want to incorporate new players. Is this true or am i just logging on at the wrong time?
-
...I'm not sure how that's a cliche. I think it's just people being jerks.
-
theres probalby some cliques out there i am sure. some rps only accept semi literate or literate roleplayers. but hers the funny thing literate means being able to read and has nothign to do with writing thats what i find funny. the fct that semi lit and literate have becoem terms in an rp is kidn dumb because everyone can read an rp. grammar is never factored into literacy they are two seperate things. so yeah it's msot likely they are either jerks or cliques or they ahve too many roleplayer in there group and don't liek tto talk to newbs
-
Well, it really depends on a lot of things; I don't think there are too many Cliques in FH.
Some RPs only accept Literate players, or players that can read and write properly with little to no mis-spellings. Also, Literate can imply being mature as some people think there is a correlation between the two!
Dunno, you really just have to shop around for a RP that you like. Also, make sure they're actually accepting players. :P

nevermidn and for the record kekitan your not using literate the way it's supossed to be used. it means you can read has nothing to do with grammar. pretty much any rp can be literate even if you make spelling mistakes as long as you can read lol. ahh the irony of fh's idea of literate.
-
literate is not grammar. literate means you can read never call soemoen illiterate jsut becuase they can't spell you!
Erm...?
Literate:
1. able to read and write.
Reference: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Literate (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Literate)
Just putting that out there. :3
EDIT:
Actually, it's exactly what everyone says it is AND it includes grammar.
I'm just putting this out there, to avoid further confusion about the word! ^^
EDIT 2:
I really do love a good debate. But, I think I have this one slightly locked up.
Also there is no such thing as having different opinions of literacy it has one definition only! means you can read look it up in dictionary.
That is the definition above, making your statement an opinion differing from the original definition of the word.
i laugh at peopel who say you illiterate because if that was true we wouldn't be able to read and also peoepl are jsut jerks
If "Illiterate" is NOT able to read and write, then the opposite must be to be able to read and write. I.E. Literacy
Umm... I think that's it!
But, you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. :3
Now, I shall go roam the forums! :D

yes but you can't go out and say someones illiterate jsut becuase they a spell few things wrong. i am very very literate you knwo problem is i have adapted to rpign fast becuase in fh you have to type fast . honestly kidn of hard not too this why i rp with friends who won't be rude and call me illiterate eveyr five seconds or few days. it doesn't matter how much someone can write or weather they make a mistake ocasionally what matter is how well the rp and if there sentances make sense.
i ahve many many peopel say i am illiterate and others say mistakes happen. it is rude to call someone illiterate some peopel ahve even asked me if i have an education yes i do i say and they say you never went to school or i do not believe you there are cyberbullies on this game.
the mistakes you see now are the result of being a fast typer. no one types slowly all the time. it would take a logn to get a reply out if i was typing slow

Well, the little debate we had there was really just about the word. Running around and calling people "Illiterate", which I might add has nothing to do with this topic, would be rude in my opinion. :3
So, I agree with you on that point?
Anyways, I think this has gone off-topic enough and I'll stop continuing.
~Poofs to another topic~

I type extremely fast as well and the only words I misspell are the, they there and such because I have a bad habit of typing the e before the h.... So I do not see what your excuse is for extremely terrible writing.... Sorry for being offensive, but typing fast is no excuse for terrible spelling.
-
Also there is nothing wrong with typing fast, then pausing to take the time to spell check your posts. If people are impatient then that's their problem.

There are a LOT of cliques within the community, which is why I always play with the chat off. And as to the illiterate/literate topic, my view of a "literate" roleplay is writing in paragraphs and full sentences with proper punctuation and no emotes. Such as:
'Panting heavily, she narrowed her eyes at her opponent. "You're going down, Generic Bad Guy Name!" the lioness snarled, and lunged for his throat.'
And the "lunge" for the throat leaves room for her opponent to either dodge the blow or take it, instead of a "*bites throat* *dodges*"
I have nothing against those who prefer to roleplay using "**" actions, but if you're going to godmod like that take it to a party chat, not in local chat like I have seen some people do. It's just plain irritating to log on and see that before closing the chatbox.
-
I see cliques mostly in General chat in Fluorite. I was apart of a clique, and I guess we're still a clique of friends, but some people left, quit, and went against everyone in the clique xD I'll stay out of the whole literate and illiterate conversation.. :3
-
If you are new to a particular roleplay, sometimes you have to just sit back and listen to what is going on. Once you've learned enough about what is going on, then you can fully join in and take part. I think it's normal to be ignored at first, because the other players don't know your character yet.
-
This is why I'm angry. Well my computer's laggy so when I type when I'm trying to say hi it says hhii or something and looks weird. I think people ignore me cause I'm "illiterate" like I'm an idiot or such. Only a few people for example someone named Bow Murderer (if you see this I wanna thank you for the good time we had?) has accepted me and the fact that my Windows XP is laggy.
-
oh there are so definitely cliques.
allow me to explain using highschool cliques and explaining what they are in fh.
(these are all in my opinion)
the preps (FH General talkers)- these are the people that are WELL KNOWN on general chat in fluorite. as in if you said general chat, these people would come to mind.
the Freshmen (FH Noobs)- these are just people who are either new to the game or act kinda clueless all the time.
the Jocks (FH Super RPers)- these are the people who have well known rps or are very well known around the RP universe.
the Outcasts (FH Invisible Rpers)- these are the people you rarely see and probably dont know exist, for they pretty much live in their maps with their rp group or friends.
Class Clowns (FH Trolls)- pretty self explanatory. these are the people who just go around trolling all the time. trolls stick together ouo and i mean ALWAYS trolling.
the Nerds/Geeks (FH Hackers)- Either actual hackers or people who know every glitch trick in the book, know the coding for the game or how to do mods like the back of their hand, and LOVE talking about it. Generally, they all try to outdo eachother with who knows the most.
the Seniors (FH MODs)- well dur. the mods run everything and everyone listens to them because their word is law xD
the Stoners (FH Mutes)- these are the people who come online and just kinda sit there watching everything quietly or just go online and walk away from their computer doing god knows what xD
the Flirts (FH Mate Beggars)- i mean overly mate beggars. or the people who hoard mates on every character.
The Fail Jocks (FH Godmods)- dont even get me started.
The Artists (FH Mapmakers/modifiers/coders/ect)- people who do a lot of art for the game and are well known for their maps, meshes, mods, or things as such.
the Popular Crowd (FH Popular FHers)- you know who i mean. those people who EVERYONE knows. and i mean everyone. the people who are either loved by all or hated by all. as long as everyone knows who they are, they fit in this group.
the Gangsters (FH troublemakers)- people who are always with their little group of people who tend to cause trouble. these would be the extremely annoying trolls who overkill it.
the Groupies (FH Groupies)- people who are always with their rp group or whatever group of friends. they come on, go right to their group. if their group isnt online, they arent online.
the Floaters (FH Floaters)- these are the people that are kind of in between the lines and get along with everyone but dont really fit into any specific clique.
the Workaholics (FH Committed Peeps)- these are the people that are so extremely committed to the game or their group that they do everything in their power to make sure that they can be on as often as possible to make sure everything goes right as well as possible in whatever they do.
the Honors kids (FH Mods in training/MOD buddies)- yep. these are the people who are best friends with all the mods or are the mods in training.
the snobs (FH No one likes you)- yes. these are the people who somehow managed to get ALL OF FERALHEART to despise them or have a reputation for being a complete jerk. they tend to flock together and are either being constantly banned, banned for life, or somehow manage to keep themselves from getting banned or caught.
and thus they are all subcategories of the 4 main cliques.
THE CANINE PEOPLE- "ew. lions suck. wolves are better. canines ftw" (aka wolfaboos)
THE FELINE PEOPLE- "ew. wolves suck. lions are the best. felines ftw" (aka antiwolfaboos)
THE MODS- "I AM LAW. now stop spamming me." ouo
BASIC FHERS- "I am just your average joe."
i just realized.
fh is kinda racist in a way :D cuz of the wolfaboos and antiwolfaboos xD its almost like theyre being racist towards eachother.
segregation is wrong D:
-
I think a sub category for the Snobs would be "the butthurts" these people after being banned or who have been banned either come to the forum and preach why their banning was wrong, regardless if they actually should have been banned or not XD
-
I had the same problem. You just need to find the right group of people. And hang out with them for awhile. If people still aren't talking to you, just try to go and sit in, in their conversation. :p!
