G'day Ya'll
« on: 21 Aug 2011, 22:41 »

Well g’day there my fellow Sci-Fi role playing enthusiasts.

I'm extremely new to Eve online (Just over a day old… Yes, just a day) and while I know that entitles me no respect, I assure you all that my time here will be dedicated; I shall strive to be nothing but useful and polite to the best of my ability.

I'm Australian...

Good, the awkward silence and laughter is over (I guess that was a joke…haha?) this will mean my time zone is seriously weird/wack/futuristic compared to most. It does not explain why I am weird/wack/futuristic however. This is something unexplainable, sorry.

I enjoy Role playing to an almost extreme level (Big surprise there, considering after a day of my new favourite game I’m already on a RP forum)
As I wish to be a writer of a more tremendously awe inspiring calibre, I will be ‘practising’ as much fan fiction here, including stories involving my main character’s past and present. I enjoy role playing as it lets me delve into the imagination and freedom that is generally locked away during my 'seriously radical' life.

Though I am new and willing to join a Corporation, I understand that most require me to have learned the ropes thoroughly for a few weeks first. Something I am glad most of you do and even gives me confidence in the calibre of people I will be playing with, once I have earned my position as comrade.

This is merely me saying to you "G'day, I'm new. How’s it going?"

I hope to have a seriously good yarn with all of you some day. Till then have a lovely day, and know I shall soon be looking for a Corp in the near future.

Post Script: I shall be writing up a short Bio/History of my first character soon. Please keep and eye out and let me know what you think. Please understand that while I have read bountiful loads of history online, one can never quite get the full grasp of a world without living in it. So if the if there are slight imperfections, don’t judge, just let me know. 

Cheers.

G'day.

The AU TZ has more RPers than you might think.  ;)

Welcome mate, you'll find there are a lot of Aussies, Kiwis and other assorted downunderans (as well as insomniac Americans) who play in your TZ. 

Best advice I can give you on your character is give yourself a basic idea of who he or she will be, and then let yourself and your character grow a bit as you learn EVE.  EVE can be maddeningly tough to learn, and there is a lot to do, and you simply dont want to pigeon hole yourself with a character before you have the chance to get to know the game and what you enjoy about it. 

Oh, and the lore can be a bitch to learn as well, and is sometimes subject to change, so give yourself room for the occasional background mulligan.

Also: Beware of a Ghost bringing gifts.  You'll know what I mean soon enough.

Oh, great.  More Australian Roleplayers.  Have I Not Been Mentally Scarred Enough?

Er.

Right.  This isn't about me.   Hi!  I'm sure someone will be around with cookies or illicit substances shortly.

The Aussies/Kiwis/assorted downunderians are actually quite legion. Welcome!

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Good to be here lads and ladies, and thank you for the warm reception. Slowly learning everything I believe I will need to play safely. Hope to meet some of you In-Game soon.
