Not to mention (to mention) the facts of why you got kicked from HF..
You don't ever stick with anything for very long, your self-imposed FL ban for example. You also don't ever try improving something. You make it, than it sits there.. I made Luciaden over a year and a half ago.. He was simply a leader of a corporation in Sirius, little known about him, no major run-ins with anyone/thing of power. Now he is very much a hated individual by the lawful factions and Phantoms (not quite as hated as the Phantoms, but I don't shoot half the things I see, they do.. And I don't half-way destroy planets either..).
He went from little known to well known and hated, and revealed to be an alien with powers humans don't have, and one with an entire army he uses to project his 'will' in matters he wishes (yes, I agree. I meddle. And I like it very much, deal with it:P)
I can't even recall the names of any of your characters.. You have some guy in TBH... Thats all I know.. I know you twice as well as most of the SF and SA, yet I remember the names of their characters better than yours..
People probably wouldn't look down as much as they do on this idea, if you had showed you were willing to work towards something, improve something. All you've shown us so far about your RP is that it doesn't last long, and it doesn't shine very brightly.
Here is something to copy, edit, then paste Vi.:P
-"All you've shown us so far about your RP is that it doesn't last long, and it doesn't shine very brightly." (Dab)
-"You don't ever stick with anything for very long." (Dab)
-Don't try at your RP, or stick with any particular role for very long. (Dab)
Just lovin' the positive re-enforcement here folks, really...
Dab does have a point though, 'good rp' isn't making a faction and shooting its enemies. or even, not shooting its enemies. Its about making a story for the people in the faction, giving them names, reffering to those things ingame, acting like that person ingame and on the forums. Its especially hard with characters that are dissimilar to your own personality, easier with those that're similar. Mcintosh is fairly easy for me, as he prutty much acts like I do when I'm drunk, albiet with a little more physical violance and drooling;)Totenkopt is equally easy, because he acts like the sober, angry me, down to the last strange outburst. The others... less easy. Start easy, go big mate, make a character thats very similar to yourself, place him in a situation, and act like you would act, say the things you would say if this wasn't a game, and go from there.
Thats how I started, back when i was 10, playing D&D in a friends basement. My first char was a person very similar to myself, with a similar name. Even my forum hook, Koolmo, is a modification of my real surname, and i'm used to being reffered to by that, due to the military, so it works. Stick to being you to start, and branch out from there. Don't start a faction, start a character. if he ends up starting a faction, power to him. I've known people who've taken characters to and from several factions, not neccesarily leading them, just playing them, and being that character.

It seems quite unfair to me that every time Supernova brings up an idea, it is shot down within hours completely. I know that some of the community cannot stand him, but I still view this as flat-out, excessive disrespect. I don't necessarily agree with his Phantom statement, but why can't we just point it out and move on. I think it's time that we look at it in a more positive light, and help to give him another chance. What is the point of just flaming him when you can help make it better.
I know that some will eventually tell me that he has done this before and hasn't changed, but I can say that I've seen quite a bit more discouragement than its counterpart. Also, remember, that if someone wants to change, it's not the voices of a thousand people that will make them, but rather the single voice inside of them.

Retired A very big thanks to Dark Oddity who put my signature pic together

Ya know, fellaz, personally, I like Sup's idea about them wildboyz. I mean (sorry phantoms, nothin vs ya), phantoms are not from FL, they are a unique faction. They have a separate ID and tag... They just as the wild (overthrow the RH government again) have a goal. They hate everybody and well, unlike the phantoms, they do have allies... Jelly-like ones, but still. And those allies make the thing the hardest. Requiring substantila admin intervention.
Well, the thing with the wild would be that much easier, that they already are in the game as NPCs...
On the other hand, wildboyz are half-nomad, and due to practical reasons, I agree with what has been said before, a tag of such a group is next-to-impossible to get. Not to mention, what limitations a prospective ID would pose.
Hrm good point, But i do like most of Novas ideas but some of them are Way out of RP, hench i BUMP we need some one to teach him the proper foundations of RP

No he got got kicked from TBH as well.
Sorry people, but the fact is after all the trouble and problems everyone is very cynical of Nova's motives.
Ok w/e........ Now Nova if you're serious this time about this new faction (and I personally like the name "Wildboyz", thx Templar:)) then take some advice you've read here..... start with a single character, and build him up to a faction. That way you can breath some life and purpose in the faction, rather than just coz it sounds way cool.
Anyway best of luck, and many people around here are more than willing to help.

Nova, sorry this got a little out of hand, but history is there for all to check. I for one was looking at a little
deeper things too, but I'm not going to bring those up here.
When you actually change a bit, maybe people will have a little more tolerance, and possibly give you a tad
more time. But as things stand, improving your roleplay would be a good start. Do it with one group of faction
characters first. Not try to have a finger in every percieved fashionable pie.
Calling Derek.Mandel, Dboy a couple of times in system chat last night is not a good start. And then having the
temerity to moan at me when I finally call you 'Nova' in the same discussion ... Doh.
Thinking head on please ...

Well thanks for your suggestions guys...I am really trying to get some RP..I really am..maybe If I got a little more encouragement from you guys and not always getting beat up and spit upon when i bring up an idea that I like..
