I joined DTR after getting specifically DM'd only minutes after joining the official FL Discord.
Not new to the game, quit a few years ago after never really finding my way "into it" - too much grief-gank-rudeness
and strange (to be utmost polite about it) rule-set(s), complete with abandoned wiki and horrendous forum-lore-structure.
Leaving this unpleasant story untold, just the facts: Played the vanilla game for at least 600h, couldn't and didn't want to get past 30h-mark in Disco...
Then DTR found me.
Just let me quote what I wrote to Ravenna Nagash yesterday as an answer to the question what drew me back into the game and how it's connected
to being a member of DTR - should very much stand for itself:
Helpful people, who are happy to have one more idiot on the roster.
People who talk, explain, teach rules and lore, like Firewolfy (who half belongs here it seems), Mult, Aingar, Samurai, Buck, John, Sunset, Venator.
The guys and gals here in DTR are what I expect of a "Crew" and in the last days I could convince some of them to come to voice chat more regularly, like John.
That really alleviated things for me yet even more, because I'm a very vocal person. And when I ask "who here wants to just DO something TOGETHER?",
I get more and more "Yes, me"-responses. Earned half a billion Credits in a week just by being silly with Mult, Miner and Buck.
More than I made in two months playtime three-ish years ago.
That and the Discord I might add. It is such an improvement to the overall gameplay-experience.
Being with the guys on the activity today was tremendously better, because of the simultaneous talking in voice about it:
Sunset and Aingar corresponding about particular phrases to bring forward to the guys from the other faction.
Miner throwing in RP as the wide-eyed "tourist-in-a-Gunboat" first time outside the O-systems. Mult getting booze, me trying to keep my
inner joker at bay, trying my hardest to look half-baked-presentable.^^ This is the stuff I'm here for!

(If anyone doesn't want to be named here, please tell me and I will remove that immediately!)
