(OOC) I have not been able to come to keep my character active as I have been looking at other areas of the site. It has come to my attention that, sadly, people who have no idea what this site is supposed to be about, and consider it some traditional, hack-and-slash, sword-and-sorcery RPG. Pern is nothing like that. It says in the Rules: “And, most of all, if you haven't read Pern (and don't have someone helping you who HAS read the books) I strongly discourage you from joining. At least read one of the books, to get a grasp of the basics. The finer details come with experience.” Several people have chosen to ignore this warning, and are spoiling this site for everyone else. Some of them are going to the Renegades, thinking they are the headquarters of a Thief class. I say again: This is not a traditional RPG!! We do not have Classes! I had an idea about what we could do to weed out non-Pernophiles. Below are several questions taken from the six most popular Pern books: Dragonflight, Dragonquest, The White Dragon, and The Harper Hall trilogy. Every person whom I believe does not know Pern: (Deranged Slayer, Mephisto, Xthanthus, Gwynthyme and dacook are the ones, I think.) should answer at least four of the questions correctly. Otherwise, we will bar them from our fellowship, and I will make sure that their characters are banished (I do know someone with that power.) (To the people mentioned above: I am not necessarily saying “Go away! We don’t want you here!,” just that your silliness and\ or ignorance are not appreciated. We shall be happy to welcome you to the site, once you have read at least one Pern book and are prepared to take this seriously. This is not Dungeons and Dragons, Diablo, or any other traditional RPG. Pern is not Mithgar; it is, of itself, Pern, created by a different author, with a completely different background. I thank you for your effort.) Oh, and another thing; don’t simply look at someone else’s reply and copy it, they might be wrong, and this does not demonstrate your knowledge of all things Pernese. Four or more questions, different ones per player. Also, don’t simply skim or scan a book for the required information, that is also cheating. The same goes for begging the answers from a friend who knows Pern: It is Not Done. Thank you for helping make this site more enjoyable for everyone.
