As a fellow newbie --- well, actually an re-newbie. I was on the list a few
years back-- I say this. Take your time. Find one plot that is not too
overwhelming (ie: the bug stuff. Neat, but a newbie probably won't fit w/o
major restructuring.) Ask the "players" on plotd if and what they could use.
If they bite, let them lead you for a bit. I think that it is hard to have
someone new enter when they no nothing of your style/experience. Right now,
many of the plots seem to be fairly large and have lots of background. The
illusion/rigger Stormwind plot may be a good place to start?

Second (The above was a long first) Only use one character. This way
everybody knows who you are. Also, concentrating on one character will alow
you to develop a personality and history. On this list that is more
important than stats.

Third, let the list know who your character is by using plotd. You don't
have to be specific, but a general idea will help.

Fourth (This one is totally my opinion, so it may be shot down) Your first
character should be "nice." Don't be too cocky or abraisive -- The less
characters that are offended, the more opportunities.

Fifth -- patience -- I've been on again for a few weeks and am not seriously
involved in a plotline. Just go with the flow.

Sixth -- I'll be starting a new thread soon and you are welcome to come along
for the ride (backseat driving is expected!)


To all the old timers, the reason I asked everyone to read this is that I
want to know if this is all crap or if it is good advice. It is what I''m
doing and I'll take advice too! Help us STk babies out!

Thanks and appologies for rambling,

P.S. I just realized that I broke my own rule # 2 -- oops
