You don’t really need to say “Free post”…

I usually don’t post in these threads, but you a prize for creativity. gives Choco (a new shortened name, so I don’t confuse you with our other CC) a cookie… with extra icing!

I think all the ‘welcomw’, ‘happy bday’, ‘goodbye’ & ‘LOL’ posts are free postery. I just took the chance to increase my post count for free since it’s so close to 2k.

Hi.

Welcome to the boards.

One more thing, we already have 2 CC’s; Chris-Chris and Cybercompost. So, your abbreviation will probably have to be Choco or Chic.

She. Chocobochic is a chick.

Hi.

cuddles Nessa

So chocobochic, your world is a combination of a Southern Baptist church and an AA meeting? Spiffy. Welcome aboard RPGC flight 38, non-stop to insanity.

Please remember that there are no exits. Thank you for flying RPGC airlines. Please throw away all trash when you attempt to exit. Thank you.

I shall answer your question, Jiharn.

This is an attempt to delve into the complex mind of the newbie who appears to posts random nonsense. Perhaps this example will help you to be more understanding of the newbie mind in the future, and help you accept them.

The overall tone of the first post was obviously a skit, or conversation, between several characters. What one has to understand is that newbies (usually female) sometimes like to incorporate other characters in a mild form of roleplay in a post. Not all posts to them are regarded as a first-person “I say this” sort of thing. Instead, it is a playground for their imaginations to run wild with many characters. Let us take a look at each part of the post.

Chocobochic- Hi, I’m Chocobochic…and…I’m a Newbie.

This should be obvious as a self-introduction. Ignoring the punctualization and capitalization errors, one can see that this is essentially a greeting.

Other Newbies- That’s the first step, Sister CC!

A response, again, given by the newbie as an example of an ideal response from her peers. Note the friendly tone and the use of the word “sister” as an acceptance of “CC” (Chocobochic) as a peer. The motive behind this is general acceptance and assimilation into the community, which she assumes to be friendly and as free in its use of mild roleplay in their posts as she is, whether this is the case or not.

Merlin- You have taken the first step; ah!

A recognized authority, perhaps the one who has helped her register if any trouble registering has popped up. This inclusion of the figure may be a gesture of thanks in some way or just a sign of remembrance or recognition. One may never know. However, one can feel the aura of the “advisor” or “guide” much like Merlin was to King Arthur, though we can obviously see that Chocobochic is no King Authur.

Choir- (sings) FIRST STEP!

An example of “silliness” purposely displayed on her part, as a lighthearted attempt at humour or relieving of tension. While it may or may not appear funny to you, it is there for the purpose of making the atmosphere more relaxed, with the obvious randomness and the singing.

Merlin- Shut up; ah! You must begin your journey into memberhood; ah! With the power; ah; invested in me by people you don’t know; ah; YOU ARE NOW A MEMBER!!!

More humour. Also an ideal response imagined by the newbie. You can see a combination of previous elements displayed coming into play here.

And that’s just a small look into my world. Enjoy?

This is a reference to the mild roleplaying that has occured, the “world” she has created. Now she asks for your opinion upon it, since she assumes that everyone has something similar, perhaps to share or incorporate into some larger thing. This may not be the case in this community, but it’s possible that it is in others. For an example of this “roleplaying”, see Yar Kramer’s post two posts below this one.

The overall effect? Here, perhaps a bit confusing, but to others, worthwhile and maybe amusing. As to why I wasted ten fucking minutes of my time typing all this crap out, you shall have to get into university and study advanced psychology for that, as I do not know myself.

Hello.

Hello, I’m Strong Bad … and you don’t know it yet, but I’m da reason you’re here. No, seriously.

I’m Yar Kramer. I think I’ll call you Mrs. Anderson, just to avoid the CC confusion.

All right. Mrs. Anderson! Welcome back! Weeee miiiiissed youuuuuuuu.

I’m Lilith! HIIII!!! [glomps Chocobochick and chews on her soul]

I am Seraph, guardian of the Oracre. I wirr give you a proper greeting, but first I must aporogize.

I AM SINISTAR! BEWARE, I LIVE!
