dont mean to butt in and use your post, but i have a question about RP. i once joined a RP, or tried to (on another forum) and it was rather a bad experience. my friend posted a reply to my character info that i posted and warned me that this was a serious place, and i wasnt to be stupid (this is v. offensive to me as i do actually have the required intellect to tell that a RP is slightly different from a jokey sort of forum (where i had previously answered some threads). also, some other people weren't exactly the most welcoming (not to be offensive but they dont exactly make you feel like they want you to join in).

all in all, ive ben kinda put off by RPs but i would like to join one, or in the future perhaps even start my own (considerably more welcoming and newbie-friendly) thread.

is it ok for me to join a RP here? not a hobbit one, as has been discussed, but any in general (perhaps to do with Gondor). i would just like to know what exactly to do, like can i just add a post stating my character? or do i have to ask someone in particular or post in a particular place?

thanks
