  1. Don't PM magic teachers, asking them to teach you. In many cases, it's a good way to make sure none of them will wanna teach you. If you want your character to learn magic, let it grow naturally out of rp. It may take a long time, but it'll prove you have the dedication and an rp foundation.

      that asking someone who's never seen you rp before for magic is about like asking a complete stranger for a loaded gun. You wouldn't expect that stranger (if he was a responsible gun owner) to just hand you his gun. Of course, many new players probably don't realize that magic can be so easily abused, so maybe those of us who teach it should make more of an effort to make the aware of that if/when we say no.

  2. http://prntscr.com/bgxrra Likely many people looking through the forums right now should've learned this many years ago. Also, this, while I'm at it http://prntscr.com/bgxsw2 If English is your first language, and you're over eight years of age, learn this.

      Mind you, I'm not talking about what you're referring to as normal conversations. I don't go around correcting people on skype or text messages. I'd be a very busy man if I did. In fact, I very rarely correct anyone's grammar, because there's always some guy who feels personally hurt over any and all correction. So, if you're talking about something like a skype conversation or your own intentionally butchered replies to my status (yes, I caught the joke, Pie), then you and I aren't talking about the same context.

      It should be said, I'm hoping to become a teacher in the Fall, so I tend to rant on this kind of stuff.

      What version of minecraft is the server on these days?

    3. Catarrh

      Catarrh

      Tried one of the other ip's I've seen others recommend. Now it just says I can't connect to the server, but it stopped saying that it can't resolve hostname. Suppose that's a sign that I'm heading in the right direction?

      Maybe I'll just go back to playing it on my laptop. Never had the issue on there.

      I'm not sure why you can't see other people's models then. I haven't seen anyone else's either and I use MPM. Maybe we have an outdated version?

  14. Well, as it turns out, my graphics card may be fried. So, I may have to get a new card, or I may as well replace the whole computer (it's out of date and runs on windows vista *grimace*). I may try to see how well minecraft works on my laptop for now.

      I don't think so. My monitor is also my t.v. screen, and the white lines only show up when I use it for a computer monitor. Also, would a monitor problem stop me from playing games?

      I play orc, but it's kinda hard trying to enjoy orc rp when there's hardly any orcs to rp with.

    4. Catarrh

      Catarrh

      I think we just need something going on besides just wars and raids. Those just create a one-day population spike. We need more cultural rp, so that people can see that there's (or at least should be) more to orc rp than just fighting.

  16. I'm looking for lore on the orc shaman, Dom. If anyone know's how I can find that kind of stuff, as well as perhaps a very extensive orc geneology, I'd appreciate it.

      That would definitely help orc activity. Not that the orcs really need it.

  22. With all the various kinds of pickled foods in the world (e.g. pickled eggs, pickled okra, pickled pig's feet, pickled beets, pickled peppers, etc.), why is it that pickled cucumbers got to be called "the pickle" instead of being called pickled cucumbers? Is it just because they're the most popular kind of pickled food? I assume they are, anyhow.

      Dill pickles are still cucumbers. They're called dill, because the brine has dill seeds in it.

      I know, Pinsir99. I hate pvp too, but I play as an orc wargoth so I'm expected to be good at it. So, as much as I think pvp is an inadequate measure of a character's skill, I've gotta be able to hold my own. However, the thing I don't like about pvp is that it doesn't account for situational variables. In pvp, it doesn't matter if it's a grown 9-foot-tall orc fighting an 11-year-old halfling. It doesn't matter if it's a peasant farmer fighting a seasoned kn...
