“Neophyte” comes from Greek roots meaning “newly planted.” If you’ve landed on the blog and think you might want to put down roots here, stop in for a friendly welcome and some helpful tips from those already here.
Please read The Rules. You might also glance at The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog), which contains helpful hints regarding local customs, lingo, and other peculiarities of the blog; smiley information included.
Attention, non-neophytes! Please don’t fill this thread with non-neophytic chatter. If there’s no one around to welcome, there are plenty of other places where you can post.
Hi there Neophytes! Welocme to the MuseBlog!
TMFA- last post on the August neophyte thread- its OK
Welcome neophytes! I am one of you!!
Hi neophytes! I am also a ‘phyte, or at least I still feel like one.
(Phew! Nice to start over after that little incident. I was getting REALLY confused.)
I know this is non-neophytic chatter, but GAPAs, what’s up with the Chatterbox? It’s sooo slow!!!! One of my posts says it has 17 comments but it’s only showing 8!!!
Hi Neophytes, I’m Zoufled Verbil Xerix, better known by my acronym, ZVX. I’m a ten-month MBer, a random ranter about keeping RPG threads, CRAZY guitar player, and pet of three cats.
You will find me on the BA (Bunny Apocalypse) threads, Random Threads, Hot Topics, and other assorted threads.
Words to remember: Never trust a musician.
Like me.
XD.
4- we Have no idea. Museblog has no connection to Chatterbox.
(4)
I don’t know, ladygaladriel. We’re a separate entity and have a completely different setup.What TMFA said.I did notice that their FAQ says it may take a day or two for comments to appear. The administrators may not be working on a holiday weekend.
Wow, what lazy admins they must have…..Not like our flamablamablous GAPAs!
Hello neophytes!
*pies*
5- You’ve only been on MB for 10 months? Wow. All this is making me feel old. I’m almost 2 years old on the ‘Blog. Anyway, welcome one and all to the marvelous place of wonder and amazement known as MuseBlog! If you have any questions, read The Rules and the Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog, or the HG2MB. If you have any further questions, simply ask one of us cranky oldbies. And last, but not least, here comes your first pieing: *piepiepiepiepiepiepiepie*
Have a
day!
Welcome, neophytes! I am RAWR, as in the sound you would make if you were a lion. Lioness, in my case.
I’m only a day old o the Blog!!!
5- Hey, I’m only a month older than you, blog-wise. I thought you were older.
Then again, I wasn’t an -active- poster until April, that’s probably it.
Welcome, ‘phyties! *pies*
13- I am a blogger of one year, approximately 4 months. AND LOVING IT!!!
Welcome, O neophytes! I was one of you a month ago. I kind of feel like I still am one of you, but I’m sure that feeling will be forgotten in 10 minutes.
*pies!*
5-What does Zoufled Verbil Xerix mean anyway? I know you said don’t ask(somewhere else), but I am very curious.
Eh, I’ve been here since *runs to check* Nov. 6, 2005, with some huge gaps every now and then.
Hmmm.. I’m about ten moths old. Two months til my blogiversery! w00t!
12 – And apparently a LOTR fan. *pies ladygaladriel with, erm, an Elven cloak and strawberry gelignite pie*
fellowmuser = Kokonilly (8/28/06)
Aww.
My 2nd blogiversery passed without mention.
*goes and sulks*
20- Oh noes! We can’t have that now. *pies with 731 pies, one for each day of your two-year career on the blog*
*four extra pies, for the lateness
*
21 –
Yay! Thank you!
Welcome, ladygaladriel! *SPLAT*
Hi all you Neophytes! *pies all*
I’m Agrrrfishi, but folks around these parts call me Aggie. I’ve been on the blog for a year and ten months. In October, it’ll be two years! YAY!
If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to muse. I’m pretty much an expert navigator by now, although HTML is my weak spot.
BAM! I threw an (mostly) harmless essploding pie at LG!
19- Yup!! I completely believe that I’m an elf
24- Why?
25. People often throw pies without apparent reason. You’ll get used to it.
And to help you get used to it…
*pies* *pies* *pies* *pies* *pies* *pies* *pies* *pies* *pies*
ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS PARTICULARLY MESSY CHERRY PIE!!!!!!!!!
(cackles)
(still cackling)
(starts to cease)
(done cackling)
*pies*!!!!!!!!!!!
10 – Yep. So what?
18- we’re in the same old boat…

WELCOME NEOPHYTES!!!!!
Or do I still count as a neophyte?
Anyway.
31-Yeah, technically you’re a neophyte for one month, though that’s not a rule. Personally, I think you stop being a neophyte when Robert says his first thing to you that isn’t in complete seriousness.
31- I coun’t you as a neophyte but that’s only because you came after I left. So I’m probably not the best person to judge.
32- I personaly feel you stop being a neophyte when other bloggers start thinking of you as not a newb.
‘sup ‘phytes! My advice is to read thoroughly the rules and HG2MB. I’m Kagcomix, sometimes Fallen Angel, occasionaly AngelKagz, once Potassium Silver, and most recently Lisa O’Malley Pierat Captain. Anyways, I’m pleased to meet you all. Newbs are the future of the blog. My other piece of advice would be not to post on this thread. You’ll be washing pie off your face.
*SUPER PIES*
33- I guess I’m still a neophyte.
Hello everybody! 32- I have not been on for like a year. Does that make me a newbie? Well any way- PIE ATTACK!!!!!!!!!
Hello, TK! Welcome back. You were here on April 19, March 4, and October 4.
I threw pies when I was new!! I”m still new! I threw a bunch of pies at bubbles!
trustkokopelli? No thanks, I already have had too many pies from WoP. I don’t quite remember trustkokopelli the person, though…
Also, it seems unlikely a GAPA would tell someone off for throwing pies, unless it was on H&H or something.
Hello fellow ‘phytes!!! I am a neophyte too, but I’ll have been here for a month in…..6 days!!!! Ask questions if you need to, they don’t bite.
*piepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepie*
Oh, and I’m Syllabub. Don’t mind my bad spelling.
40- They TOTALLY bite!!!!! Did I ever tell you how I got that massive scar on my knee??? Biting questions, of course!!!!!
LadyGaladriel: If you like Lord of the Rings, you ROCK!! Welcome to the blog. I have been posting for…10 months. My Blogversity will be soon. Syllabub may be a month old, but he/she (which are you?) posts like a veteran. TRUST KOKOPELLI??? WHO TRUSTS KOKO??? Like, no one. When did you start posting?
Eragon
42-If nobody trusts Koko, then why do people have ‘Kokopelli for President’ bumper stickers? True, you don’t have to trust the president (I certainly don’t trust Bush), but still….
(43) I think you can trust Kokopelli to behave according to his nature. If you want four years of tricks, pies, and flute solos, he’s certainly the candidate to support.
44-True.
Hey, my one-month day is today! I’m officially not a ‘phyte anymore! I actually haven’t felt like one for about two weeks, but now I’m not allowed to say ‘I didn’t know, I’m just a neophyte’ anymore.
I guess I will turn non-neophyte on… either Sep. 30 or Nov. 1.
Hey, where’s the suggestion thread? Can someone send me a link??
(47) I’ll put it on Don’t Forget These Threads. Meanwhile, here it is:
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1383
By the way, you can use the yellow search box at the top of the page to find such things.
41-Well they don’t bite except for that. That was an exception, because you’re just special like that.
42-Thank you Eragon. I am a girl.
Me again. LOOK if you don’t like the username trust kokopelli, get of the blog. Why does everyone hate me?
STOP Eragon.
50 – No, I’m fine with it. I don’t hate you.
50-We don’t hate you. Everyone likes Kokopelli. We trust IN him, we just don’t trust him. I think. There’s a better way to say it, but that’s basically it.
Oh. Okay. I feel better.
52) Yeah we trust in him to trick us and other stuff.
I’m still a ‘phyte.
54- HEY!!!!
54- HEY!!! Just for that–
pie attack!!!!
49- Eragon was correct about your unusually good manners and grammar.
50- We don’t all hate you! Eragon said one thing about the irregularity of your name. And you weren’t “yelled at”.
56) Uh oh.
I don’t hate you. -virtual choklit-
60-Where did you get 100 Muszey points? *looks at Eragon suspiciously* Eragon?….
44- Heck, he’s got my vote any day.
61- You can just make points up, really… I was the proprieter of SwannPoints for awhile, but then I decided I didn’t like it…
Trust Kokopelli: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be offensive. Uh-oh, I’m turning into Red Tailed HAWK! Oh, and 100 Muszey points to Armada. Ya see, LadyGladriel asked how to get points, so I gave her some to get started. Trust Koko can have 100 too!! MissSwann gets 100. Robert Coontz gets 100 for being sush a great admin. All the admins get 100!
*Trust Kokopelli, I think it is a great username, and I do NOT hate you.
*gives lots of choklit* Sorry!!
It’s just that Koko is so… prank-ish, that whenever a blogger comes along with a name like that, we can’t help cracking a couple jokes at it.
Funny blognames are good! Do you see anyone laughing at mine? Naw, mine is boring.
63-Thanks. So it’s legal to make up points and give them to yourself any time you feel like it? Cool. I should try that sometime.
GAPAs, the email is my new one. The old one was my parents’ as well as mine, and I was feeling too crowded.
64 – Um, it’s not a very good idea to make up points at random. There are two main ones: piepoints and spdzk. People frown on randomly making points.
That was NOT being mean. That was a WARNING. Just clarifying after the Music thread incident.
64- Having your own points is different from having someone give them to you. You make them and hand them out, but you can’t use them for yourself, really.
65- I have no clue what the whole points system is. Who delegates points here? Because it seems that that’s what happens.
Can anyone here remember the cucumber incident regarding OH MY GOD MY PANTS ARE ON FIRE!!!! (Not being random. Actual blog name.)
Just for fun, Here’s were the points come from. I Am really mad at Rt-H about this, in a light hearted way:
11. Prarilius Canix, taking a break from NaNoWriMo | November 20th, 2007 at 10:01 pm
Whoever tells me the definition of the science word below will win 100 spdzk points.
PHENOLPHTHALEIN
Note: In the event of an answer taken from Wikipedia, spdzk points self-delete from the spacetime continuum. You have to do actual (GASP!) research.
Another note: Once someone wins spdzk points, they can award them as well. There are only 100 spdzk points in existence. Once I award these, I will not be able to award any more. Whoever wins them can award them in any amount, including or under 100, to any blogger or GAPA they choose.
12. Raven of the Hawk | November 20th, 2007 at 10:13 pm
Argh, that word sounds so familiar, I just can’t remember why….
Wait, I think that’s the stuff that will turn pink(I think, I know it changes colors) in certain solutions….
13. Midnight Fiddler | November 20th, 2007 at 10:16 pm
7 and 9~ Hee, hee. I like those laws.
I have never really been one for science or math. Math I can do reasonably well, but science tends to bounce off the windsheild of my understanding capabilities. *dies*
14. the man for aeiou | November 20th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
a whitish or yellowish crystalline compond, used in laxatives. C20H14O4.
thank you!
I got it from the dictionary, so I think that should count.
15. oxlin widdershins | November 20th, 2007 at 10:21 pm
11- it is a chemical that has an alchohol functional group on it somewhere (an -OH) that is what I know from Chem class.
In chem last year we had an ester lab and we were supposed to make three different smelling esters and see what they were (our student teacher worked in an actual comercial lab and knew the formuals to various things) and one of ours turned out *perfectly*. it smelled exactly like wintergreen lifesavers and I kept wanting to eat it… oops.
CHEMISTRYYYYYYYY
16. Robert Coontz (Administrator) | November 20th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
Phenolphthalein’s penchant for turning red in alkaline solutions makes it useful for magic tricks. My brother saw me playing with it once and thought I could turn water into wine. One of my science teachers said he had sprinkled crystals of it on some chocolates to find out who had been stealing them. When the thief went to the bathroom and washed his hands, the alkaline soap made the crystals stain his hands red. The teacher caught him literally red-handed.
By the way, a very old British nickname for chemistry class is “Smells.â€
17. Beavo (and such) | November 20th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
I hope that no one minds that I’m staying as far away from possible from this thread.
Because I have nothing interesting to say about science. I’m a different kind of nerd.
Nerds: GET HIM!
*runs away*
18. Prarilius Canix, taking a break from NaNoWriMo | November 20th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Raven of the Hawk was first with a correct definition (it does turn pink when contacting alkali), but TMFA’s was more complete. I will give ROTH 70 spdzk points for being first, but TMFA gets 30 as a reward for effort.
You now have ZE AWESOM POWERZ of the spdzk points. Use them well.
I mean Raven.
That’s la Mort.
66-Uh-huh. So that’s why you have 1000 Muszey points?
(Sorry, that sounded mean. It was supposed to just be sarcastic.))
Ahem. You have pie points and muszey points. Don’t tell Eragon he has to many points.
72- I don’t use them, I just give ’em out. Did you get my message that you now own 100 Muszey points?
72-I didn’t. Not really. But, sorry Eragon.
We should probably take this to the Points thread. We’re going to scare the neophytes.
I dont like talking about points anyway- anyone for a pie?
67- I remember him!!! He double/triple/quadruple posted like tomorrow wasn’t coming, and he changed his name every few days. I can’t remember the cucumber incident, but it rings a bell. (Frankly, he annoyed me, but I am not to hold a grudge against other musers).
75- Sure! *splat*
75-Sure!
76-I do believe that “the cucumber incident”, as you put it, happened on Off With Their Heads! and was later snipped by the GAPAs. I could be wrong, though.
Don’t ask how I know this. I do a lot of threadsurfing.
Kokonilly? Kokonilly, are you there? I need you to post your favorite Muse on the fanfiction thread!
78 – Mmkay!
28. No one DARES stick out a pink fleshy muscle attached to the back of a food processing hole at the flamafabulous bubbles!!!! (I did not mean to sound snobbish, just wanted to add drama with the flamafabulous part.)
So LadyGaladriel….
*launches pie* *launches pie* *launches 18 pies with the help of my patented Hyperactive Pie Launcher with Turbo Boost* *launches pie*

Welcome newbies!
It’s the 6th, so on the 8th, I won’t be a ‘pyte anymore!! But I still kind of feel like one, even though I’m almost not.
(82 inspired) I’d say that you’re a ‘phyte until you yourself feel you aren’t. Dates don’t really hold much meaning, I feel, because we’re all very different. Even your age doesn’t really mean very much.
Which brings me to section 2. Internet proficiency.
I personally feel that many people aren’t nearly close to being cyber-literate, because they don’t know where to start. Searching is very important, so here’s a quest open to anyone up to the challenge (probably a ‘phyte, but not limited to):
Tell me an item found in the Dumpster Dive Song.
Hint: you won’t have to leave the Muse Fan Page.
It’s kinda like POSOC’s idea for points, so I’ll give you some if you want them. Or an item of my choosing. If this works, I’ll keep giving out quests, and sending ‘phytes to the dark unused corners of the blog!
83- Chainsaw.
Repot my “Friends, Romans, Country men” parody from a hot topics thread!
GO!
82-I know what you mean. I still think of myself as a ‘phyte, even though I don’t think other people do.
86 – Once you get into your old age (like me), all the generations start blurring together and you just go with how people post. Well, not really. Kinda. I think you’re a semi-phyte, but post very respectfully and all that.
86- I still do. although I also conceder Eragon.
81- That word is demeaning and cruel. We do not use it anymore. Okay, I just felt like saying that. Sorry.
82- If you either: A. Wonder if you’re a neophyte or B. Count down the days until your one-month anniversary, you’re still a neophyte. Just forget about neophyteness, and you’ll become a cranky oldbie, like the rest of us. It’s actually more fun than it sounds. You can complain and rant a lot more, i.e.: “When I was your age, ya had to READ your posts ‘afore ya submitted ’em. And the PoPo actually did their gosh-durn job. *unintelligible grumbling*.” Anyway, *pies all neophytes, as well as anyone else who wants to be pied*.
89 – Actually, that post is generally inaccurate and/or hypocritical. The PoPoPo is a fairly new addition to the blog, and they never really did their job. In the really old days, the PoPoPo wasn’t necessary, because there was peace ‘n’ respect all over the blog. And you shouldn’t say “oldbie” if you just told someone not to say “newbie”.
Also, I find it odd that you say that you are pie-ing everyone who wants to be pied, with which I have no problems, but you would think that an “oldbie” would want to pie everyone, regardless of their desire to be pied.
Welcome all neophytes!
Virtual choklit is my personal favorite currency here on the blog (though it doesn’t actually work as a currency, as there is infinite virtual choklit), but there are points available for those who can weasel their way into getting some. See the points thread for more details.
Please, neophytes, read the rules and the HG2MB. Multiple times, if necessary. It will help you in the long run and will tell you pretty much all you need to know; everything else should work itself out.
NEOPHYTES! Hello!
…Hello?
Oh, well. *leaves*
Yeah whatever :rolls: Does anybody like Coldplay or the percy jackson books?
Aw come on anyone?
Meh, coldplay is okay. (XDD rhymes!!!)
Never head of the Percy Jackson books. Plots?
“When I was your age, ya had to READ your posts ‘afore ya submitted ‘em. And the PoPoPo actually did their gosh-durn job. *unintelligible grumbling*.â€
There’s lots of PoPoPo around, they just don’t do their “gosh-durn job”.
89 – I’ll repeat what THF said, since she summed it up so tidily: “Actually, that post is generally inaccurate and/or hypocritical.” It also makes me mad that you just stereotype all of the oldbies (I say ‘newbies’ sometimes, I don’t consider it derogatory, but I think n00b was derogatory, am I right? And that was hypocritical, attacking ‘newbie’ but using ‘oldbie’) like that. I don’t feel that way at all. Seriously, don’t generalize. It makes me sad/mad.
95 – So what’s your point? That’s exactly what he said.
I’m sorry if I come off a little harsh, I’ve kinda been in a negative/bad mood lately.
96- Happens to the best of us.
96- Calm down. It was just a joke, to make the neophytes fell a bit more welcome. It was supposed to be sarcastic, and I’m sorry if anyone took it as offensive. Maybe I’ll start using the Sarcasm Alert again. *SARCASM ALERT* I’ll just be nice all of the time now. I think MB should be taken over by Disney (see April 2008 (?) Random thread). *END SARCASM* Will that work?
Anyways, welcome, young and old, to the marvelous macrocosm of MuseBlog! And, without further ado, here are some pies: *piepiepiepiepie*. Thank you, and have a nice day!
Ahem. You probably scared all the neophytes off!
They’re probably off sniffing in the random thread. 
They’re probably canceling there subscription!!!!!!!!
OK, I was a little overdramatic there but….
Poor neophytes….
93- OF COURSE some of us like Coldplay and Percy Jackson. But I don’t like them. I LOVE THEM! Hm, well, Welcome! *pies*
Oh!!!!!! Excellent!!!!
100- were you being sarcastic???
Oh, good grief. I guess I’ll just leave and never come back then. I apparently can’t do anything right. *sulks*
Hey, you wanna know something cool? I searched MissSwann on Yahoo, and about 15 million POTC related pages later, one of my comments came up! I was so happy!
104- Oh, I wanna try that!
Me is opening new tab.
Me is on Yahoo.
Me is amazed. Two of em. Wowsers.
Me is still amazed.
105 – I get 1,040,000 hits when I search for “Cat’s Meow”.
hmm, I’m going to look up bubbles then. I’m not sure I’ll get much of anything, but it’s worth a shot.
Yep. nothing. (apologies for the double post)
Welcome neophytes! *pies*
Yeaaaah.
Im not even gonna Try to search trust kokopelli…
106- I’ve got 1,200.
Only 735,000 results for Vendaval.
106- I have 1,820,000 results. (Needless to say, I have a lot of spare time).
108- Actually, about 50 pages of results later, one of your comments comes up. ^^
On yahoo, I get 3, 830 (and that’s using quotes). there’s a couple of me on the first page, and skimming through a couple pages after that, I definitely do not feel like looking at anymore….lots of weird hits. On google, I get 462, same two on the first page
trust kokopelli–you have 186, two on the first (and only) page that displays….they don’t show the remainder of the 186. on google, you have 7, two of you
Google gives me 172,000 results for “ZVX.”
analyzing ZVX:
xyz + zvx is a mathematical equation, to cut a fascinating problem short.
zvx stands for Zoufled Verbil Xerix.
zvx stands for Zygocactus Virus X
________________
I assure you, I ONLY run the websites with other MBers name(s) on them. Scary, there is someone else online called ZVX.
Hm. “Non-neophytic chatter.” There’s none of that here, right?
1,820 hits for Kokonilly.
Strangely enough, they’re not all MB, but they all are me. There is no other Kokonilly on the Internet.
115 – Nope, absolutely not.
*pies an imaginary neophyte*
I actually got 20,600 hits when I typed it in.
I got 42,800 hits for my name. A lot of the sites were Muse-related.
118- Wow. That’s certainly a lot.
118 – Well, duh, you have ‘Kokopelli’ and ‘Random’ in your name.
All of the ‘Kokonilly’ hits are me, XD
92, 101- SAME!!! LOOOOVE them!
7,310 hits. Some of them were my comments.
Hi! I’m a neophyte and I was wondering how you make those smilies. Please help me!!!!
122- *pies*. You should be able to find what you need here- https://musefanpage.com/blog/?page_id=89
OMG a neophyte!!!!! *PIEPIEPIEPIEPIEPIE*
I’m Syllabub, and I’d might as well introduce myself to you, Mr. Muse Man. I’m 12, live in NH, and was a neophyte last month. So there you go, my quick little intro.
116- I am the only MissSwann2223! I’m so happy!
122. A NEOPHYTE!!!! *pies* *pies**pies* *pies* *pies* *pies* Hmm, Mr. Muse Man, I ought to introduce myself, don’t you think? I am 10, I was a neophyte last month, I have no idea whatsoever how to make smileys, I am in the Coontz house in Muse academy as of yesterday, and erm…
So, Mr. Muse Man…Some tips…
You must get used to pies in general.
Be creative with your pies
Never ever stick your tongue out at me, unless you wish to be severely pied.
Running and hiding from pies just results in more pies
Pies are for throwing at your victims
Cackle mercilessly after pieing a lot, it’s fun
It’s okay to be nuts.
*pies* I am LadyGaladriel, a blogger of approximately 2 weeks. Welcome!
127–wait, what? I know you’re new, but surely it’s been more than two weeks? I dunno, I guess you started after I got to school, it just seems like I’ve been here all my life…
128 – She started on 8/31/08. Yup, that’s pretty much two weeks.
116- MOST of them aren’t on MB. Thanks to: MDA, KB, ATK, TSO, ASL, TBOTFMB, TBs, and so on.
you’re very well connected with people you don’t know.
96- correct. Newbie is same as ‘Phyte, n00b is possibly the greatest insult one can throw at a Neophyte, apart from caking them, or those brick pies ZML invented, or the modified Spike Pies I invented.
Uh, hi.
Welcome, Nysethilei! No doubt the pie brigade will be here shortly.
Pie brigade? Shortly? *runs*
Oh yeah, and sorry for the double post. 131-*pies first, then runs*
131. Hi. *welcome pies*
131- From whence did your name come to be? It is marvelous. I hesitate to pie it. *several seconds tick by* Okay, I’m over it. *piepiepiepiepie*
Hello newbies!
*pies joyously*
My name’s supposed to mean resurrection I guess. What’s with the pies? Something about Kokopelli?
139- It’s a tradition here on MuseBlog to pie all neophytes (newcomers). And yes, it was indeed inspired by everyone’s favorite pie-throwing prankster. Sweet name. Hard to spell, though. Hm… Hey! The first 4 letters are NYSE! Are you doing better than your “namesake?” Sorry. I’m really hyper tonight.
138- NEOPHYTE!! *piepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepie* Welcome, MMM. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
*pies neophytes*
*Wonders what late for old is*
Um, this is not strictly neophytic posting, but Kittymine has asked me to request that she be added to the list of MBers. She posted on Dissing Mr. Joe the January before last (post 190), but her name never got added to the list.
This is boring. Can’t we do anything but talk about neophytes?Oh hi neophytes!!!!! Pies!!!!! Anyway lets talk about the bunny apoclalse thread. (Did I spell that right?)
(143) Please note the title of this thread.
What’s latin for old?
You’d need Greek for this purpose, because “-phyte” comes from a Greek root. The prefix meaning “old” is paleo-, as in “paleontology.”
so oldbie= paleophyte?
Certainly, if you like.
What’s bunny apoclasle? Wait is that meant to be bunny apocalypse? Anyway, what is that? I think I’m gonna go post on a different thingy-mabobber now…
145-148 seems noteworthy. Term coining in progress! Historians will cite this.
I think “planted long ago” (or something like that) is kind of weird. We should have a whole new (Greek) word for oldbie.
How about the Greek word for tree? Or old tree? Or tall tree? Or… oak tree? I like oak trees. Of course, I… don’t know what any of those are in Greek. But still.
If it was “old tree” than it would be “Παλαιό δÎντÏο”, which would be paleodendron or something like that. I really have no idea, I just know how to write it…
149- Bunny Apocalypse, or BA, is a role-playing game-writing thread created in April. The basic storyline is as follows:
The Hot-Pink Bunnies, (Muse thing, if you don’t know) have put the world under siege, and are attacking everywhere. An elite group of fighters called the Resistance are in charge of destroying the leporine menace and overthrowing the bunny regime.
BA is finished, now, but feel free to join in on BA:The Next Generation.
BA: TNG is where the kids of the Resistance team up to rescue the parents that have been captured by the bunnies, and are being tortured for information in the bunny fortress. Major Groundhog22 and Commander ZVX remain without kids, popping in and out of the main focus on the kids.
We’d love for you to join.
Oh great. I’ve got pneoumonia. Which I spelled wrong. This Sttttiiinnnkksss.
153- Don’t forget I don’t have a kid either. *rolls eyes* Nobody even looks at my posts much less reads them, do they?
153 – I do have a kid in BA, but she’s only 5 because I didn’t adopt her, I gave birth to her. I therefore decided not to get myself kidnapped, because said child wouldn’t have been able to join everyoe else then. And when did I get demoted to Major?
Hi everyone!
I’m a neophyte.
*gasp* An ACTUAL NEOPHYTE! *SPLAT*
Hey!! A neophyte!!! -piespiespiespies- Oh, and don’t mind the pies. Everyone throws them here.
(Gunkzo)
(Kokonilly&Galadriel)
157-*sets up pie thrower* *launches apple pies* *sits back to watch the show!*
Welcome Gunkzo!!!!!!!! I like your name, it’s cool. I’m Syllabub! Welcome to MuseBlog!!!
Hello, Gunkzo! *pies with scottish blueberry pies* YAY!!!! Welcome to MB!!!
Hi! This is my first post, and I hope people don’t pie me!!! I love my user name, HIBISCUS!!! It’s my favorite flower! But I hope that isn’t already someone else’s user name! Bye, and I hope you have a good day!
Welcome, Hibiscus! I feel fairly confident saying that you are our only Hibiscus on the blog.
So, in honour of your first post, have a delicious chocolate pie….. *piesHibiscus* (and, as you perhaps know, that is how we welcome all new bloggers–I’m sure it’s due to that trickster Kokopelli’s influence…..He’s been stalking me, you know–I saw him again to day, in the gift shop at the caves my parents and I visited. This isn’t the second place I’ve seen him in as many days! And yesterday he had the students pieing their professors on the quad! But I digress–I talked about that over on the monthly random thread.)
Once again, welcome to the blog.
163-I’m sorry to say that you will be pied. I don’t think we can really help it. *pies* At least I only threw one pie at you, you should have seen some of the mass pieing that happened when I was a neophyte!
163 – If you are going to be on this blog, you must accept that being pied is an honor. And that it is impossible to avoid, especially if you’re a neophyte. *pies Hibiscus with 4 chocolate-cherry-licorice-hibiscus-petroleum-wax-snozzberry pies*
*pies Gunkzo and the rest*
Hi there, Hibiscus!
Welcome to the MuseBlog! *pies, but with yummy welcome pies and not hardcore owwie pies* Sorry, but here pieing is our rite of initiation to neophytes. You’ll see we do it a lot around here, but despite the massive buildup of empty pie tins, I’m sure you’ll find it a very nice place to blog. Have fun exploring!
OMG! Since I haven’t been on in MONTHS, I don’t know half of you! That’s okay. I’m sure I’ll get over it in time. *gives Hibiscus and Gunkzo each a bear hug while secretly pieing them* *thinks about pieing various former newbies I haven’t properly met yet but, perhaps wisely, decides against it*
Hi Hibiscus!!
I love Hibiscus tea, have you ever tasted that?
Welcome! Hope you’ll make yourself right at home!
*pies Hibiscus with raspberry pie*
Hiya, Hib! I’m an annoying almost eleven year old who has her first blogiversery in November! And this here is my best friend, Leafygreen! You can call her Leafy, of course. She can’t go on the computer because she gets grounded a lot for violence against her brother (I encourage it
), so I post for her. Once in a blue moon, she appears *gasp*, but in about an hour she’s grounded. She’s a violent person, and I like it that way. *hugs* Ahhh, let go of my throat!!!
Anyway, one last message to keep you alert-
*lights flicker off* *mist appears* *spooky voice*
You have entered a place…
where common sense has NO MEANING…
you have entered…
THE MUSEBLOG ZONE!!!!!
*lights come back on* *confetti pies come from everywhere*
Everyone here- Hi!
Hi! I’m tigerstar and I’m a neophyte to this blog. This is my first post, and for all of you out there, *pies*, but anyways, welcome, Hibiscus!!! So, anyways, bye!
Wow, everyone is so welcome!
Should I pie someone?
It seems to be somewhat of a tradition.
*pies*
Oh, and hi tigerstar!
171- Welcome! *piepiepiepiepiepiepiepie* I think you’ll find your stay here enjoyable. Have a look around, and have fun!
171- Have a pike pie!
*piepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepiepie*
How many pies do you have to throw 
A lot. Say hello to me leetle friend 
*Rembers to Pie Gunkzo*
*pies*
-pies tigerstar- -pies hibiscus- I’m somewhat of a newbie too, so don’t worry too much about fitting in. I turn non-neophyte on October 1st!!! That’s only a couple weeks away!!
*pies The Man For Aeiou*
or TMFA? Can I call you that?
180-Every one calls me TMFA.
Tigerstar…… I wonder where you got that name?
We already have a Rainbowstar (I think), but that’s okay. So, anyway. Hi! *pies* And hi to Gunkzo and Hibiscus and Nysethilei! *pies*
So, I’m Armada, an MBer of around a month and a half, and apparently I’m still a semi-neophyte. Whatever.
Oh, and tigerstar (post 171), just a tip– you’re not really supposed to say welcome to people in your first post. There’s no law against it or anything, but it’s usually better to just say hi.
If you’re an oldbie when become a stickler for following all the blog rules to the letter and not ever violating customs, I definitely qualify. Sorry, tigerstar. I’m just kind of grumpy right now at my TOTAL AND COMPLETE EXCLUSION FROM BA:TNG WHEN I WAS AWAY AND COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS!!! ZVX, you have some explaining to do.
‘Phytes don’t pie oldbies; oldbies pie ‘phytes. It’s kind of a welcome ritual.
BTW, ‘phytes, I’m Kokonilly. My second blogiversary passed a while ago without any mention (
). I AM A GIRL.
Oh, and welcome!
I find it hilarious that people get so offended by the word n00b when when I was a newbie, we were treated to comments like this.
“’I’m glad that she left, you have no idea how much she POed me being here. I don’t give a damn that she’s gone, except to party”.
-someone (not naming names) talking about a newcomer who left
Jesus H. Christ. Chill. I would rather be called a n00b than be talked about like that.
Oh yeah. Welcome newcomers if that’s what you want to be called now. Sorry if this post makes you think I’m a jerk. Most of the time i’m not.
171- Aha, another Warriors fan! (I assume?) My warrior name is Cricketsong; the medicine cat in the clan i created, Flameclan.
Tigerstar is my sister (so is Hibiscus) and she is even more obsessed with Warriors than I am.
According to the Warriors website, my name is Fuzzypath…
I took it a while ago, though, when it was different, and got Leafstorm, so I’m totally sticking with that. I was Leafstar while my friends and I were RPing Warriors outside a few years ago when we were done with our WASL tests, but I prefer being a warrior anyways.
I am Icelegs of Thunderclan. Whoopee.
Apparently I am Hawkfire, or Leopardheart, of the Windclan, either one I guess.
Well, WELCOME ALL NEOPHYTES! And let the poor ‘phytes do what they want to do, they are just following what you guys are doing, they look up to you *snicker*
ANYWAYS… Welcome! *pies all neophytes* Are any neophytes by any chance laughing hysterically at the TV right now, watching the Emmys? No? Pity…
179-There’s a date assigned to graduation from ‘phyte to oldbie? When did this happen? O_O
*gives Rainbowstar, Hibiscus, and Tigerstar bear hugs while secretly pieing them* …Oh, wait. I’ve already pied Hibiscus. Scratch that.
According to the “Consult StarClan for your Warrior Name” thing on the website, I’m Scarnose. But on the Warriors: The New Prophecy Quest game, you get a warrior name when you finish, and I’m Stealthfire. Both of those sound evil, in my opinion.
Sorry to double post, but I forgot to add that I took the “Consult StarClan for your Warrior Clan” quiz and I’m in WindClan.
I’m sandshadow of the wind clan 192 you think your names sound evil! *pies Tigerstar*
What site is that Warriors thing on?
Welcome Neophytes!!
The Somewhat Helpful Guide To MuseBlog
So you came to his site. Congrats. Good job finding the site, but you should read The Rules and the HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide 2 MuseBlog) before posting a lot. Please do not speak ALL CAPITALS, it gives us headaches, and so does L33t and texting lnguge, hw wood u lke it if i psted lke ths al th tme? L33t is this:

HTML is a form of comuter creation, a set of commands which the computer follows. At the bottom of the post box is says Some HTML Allowed: those are commands and literally how you type them, even with the () brackets. To cross out my words, first picture () as ( ). This is the command to cross out text, exept you put the word in between () not ( ). (strike) …… the to ‘turn it off’ you do this: (/strike) note the backslash.
This is (strike)This is (strong)Smiley faces are made by doing this: : smile : but leave out the spaces between the colan and the word.
If you want to put two smileys right next to eachother, you have to put two spaces between the colan mark of the first smiley and the first colan of the next smiley. : smile : : smile :
Read the bottom of HG2MB and it give more smiley codes.

u all rock. rock on!
151- latin for oak is quernum
194- u like the Warriors series. u also like redwall, seeing your title, badrang, as in badrang the tyrant in martin the warrior. maybe u just like all warriors. i do 2. ‘phytes rock!
*Pies Tigerstar with spike pie* *pies badrang with welcome pie*
oh. didnt read far enuff in the warriors thingeemabobber. oops. (sorry aboot the quadruple post!
what is the warriors website?
just warriors with the www/.com thing i think
Bluefire, do not quintuple post. The Warriors website is the website devoted to the Warriors series, and it also has a thing on it where you type in your first name and the town you live in and it gives you your warrior name. You do something else to find out your clan.
You can get some pretty weird names. I’m Rippedstump, apparently. Ugh.
Bluefire: Just google Warriors, and it’ll come up.
Oof. Tangleclaw. Not the name I’m so keen on being remembered by. I’d rather have something cool.
206-At least you’re not Mudpelt.
I just took the warriors thing–I am apparently Scarshadow of the Thunderclan. Of course, I’ve never read the books, so it doesn’t mean much to me…..
208-Thunderclan is good, but I’m not too sure about Scarshadow…
179, 191- There is no set amount of time in which you are a neophyte. As I have said nearly an infinite number of times before, you are a neophyte until you blend in and feel natural. If you focus on a date on which you supposedly become an oldbie, you are still a neophyte, because you act like one. Just make MuseBlog a part of your life and you’ll fit right in, and, consequently, end your days as a neophyte. Unless you like being a ‘phyte. In that case, *piepiepie*
210- the month long neophyteness was something Miss.Swan created. it was a joke.
I am sandnose of Riverclan, but tigerstar, my user name, is actually themed on an extremely evil cat that trys to take over!!! If you want to see a fun site, go to Google and type in “Googleloco” or “Google easter eggs”.
<He He He!!!
By the way, to get to the warriors website, just google “Warrior Cats” And, *pies badrang*. The name tigerstar is based on an evil cat in the series. Yes, the name does sound evil.
< He He He!!!
212, 213- Are you new? *pies* Welcome to MB. If you’re not new, well, *pies anyway*
212, 213-Hi! *pies*
Are you the tigerstar that was here before or are you a different one? If you’re a different one, you could be Hawkfrost, I suppose.
Yeah, well, sort of new. *pie war*
+ 
= Evil invasion!!! (~otherwise, just get out!!!)

Hi, I’m new to the blog, but I’ve been looking at it for a little bit now, and I kind of like it.
219-Hi!!!! Whee, an actual neophyte! One who uses capitalization! *Pies Dave with all-purpose neophyte-welcoming pies*
218-Would you mind???……..
Okay, since you haven’t said anything about being the same tigerstar as the other tigerstar, I’m going to address you as Hawkfrost from now on. It’s just too confusing to have two people with the exact same name. At least bubbles and Bubbles had a difference in capitalization.
If you are the same person as the other tigerstar, please tell us now.
Welcome Dave! *pies with yummie pumpkin pie*
I’m Syllabub, and just in case you aren’t sure of my gender, I am a girl. (I guess my name could suggest otherwise? I don’t know. I’m just being safe.)
218- Um, please don’t like spam, or make a random post. It is frowned upon by practically everybody. Your not going to be fined for choklit or anything now, but just for future references.
Welcome Dave! *Bluemarshberry pie*
218- Thankyou. I believe there’s a typology thread open to test things of that nature.
Welcome dave! *pies*
I’m vaxiddxvii. It may be hard in the beginning, like being in a new school (check out the Muse Academy thread in the RPG section) but eventually everything just starts to flow and you get used to the weirdness that is Museblog. and that’s when a NEW weird thing happens. don’t worry, you’ll figure it out.
Hello Dave! -pies with blackberry cobbler- Just to be different.
Tigerstar is one person, my sister.
Thank you for all the different flavored pies everone! I would put a smiley, but I still don’t really understand how they work.
227- The two easiest ways to find out how smileys work are A) Look at the HG2MB B)Hover your mouse over the nearest smiley. I also posted a really great explanation on the SSSS thread. Oh, yes, and before I forget, have a pie! *pies*
226-Oh, okay.
227- I don’t know how to do the link thing, so just scroll to the top of any page and check out the HG2MB. It tells you how to do smileys.
228- nah, just check the HG2MB. Hovering your cursor over it only works on Google chat.
230- It works for me. *puts fingers in ears*
OK, so let me see if this works.
219–Oo, fresh blood! Welcome to the blog, Dave! *pies with chocolate cream pie* If you stick around long enough, you will soon dicover we are all completely nuts around here–but, hey, sanity is overrated!
233- Thank you!
Oh, and another thing, what exactly are piepoints?
OOOHHH!! Me like pieing people!
*pies everyone with pies of questionable contents*
Oh snap! Those…weren’t…pies…
*runs far far away not to be seen ever again for a long time possibly a few seconds*
233- Pecuilar is perfect! Abnormal is awesome! Weird is wonderful!
Good question, Dave. (Have you noticed, the only time someone says, “Good question,” is when they don’t know the answer?) I don’t really get the points, as most of them came into existence during one of my extended absences from the blog, but there was recently a thread on them that might help to clear up your confusion (or might just serve to confuse you even more): https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1483#comments
237- Thank you.
I just want to ask one more thing. When can neophytes become real MBers? At first I thought it was after only ten months or something, but I want to be sure. (Thanks for answering my questions)
Hullo Dave. C’mon in, have yerself a seat and tell us about yerself!
*grins broadly* Argh, this is why I never come on the Neophyte threads, I’m always afraid of scaring them away….ah well. I’m not always like this, don’t worry. *grinning reassuringly*
I’m Midnight Fiddler, called Fiddler, MF, Fern (my “real-life” name). I am a resident history geek (17thand 18th centuries, mostly), ship geek (tall ships, mainly square rigged), musician (fiddle-Irish, Scottish and English style and English concertina-same tunes and voice-same tunes plus sea chanties), living history freak, sailor-in-training and bookworm.
My personalities vary with the wind and my moods, at times I’m sociable and talkative, other times I’m gloomy and talkative. At yet other times I’m hyper and talkative. Most of the time I’m just plain talkative.
So, now to you?
Oh, and in response to post 238, it depends on how wel you blend in with the rest of us, not really on how long you’ve been here. Some people ease on in in no time at all, some are here for ages and still seem newish. It’s all up to you, so no pressure!
Smilies are explained in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog, I’d recommend checking it out, it’s handy.
There really isn’t a set time at which a person changes from a ‘phyte to a “real MBer”. Actually, in my opinion, we’re all “real” MBers. As far as ‘phyte-hood goes, I’d say that when you stop feeling like a ‘phyte, and when most people are familiar with you ad you are familiar with most of the other MBers, than you’re no longer a ‘phyte. However, each MBer seems to have a different opinion on the subject. As far as ten months goes, I’d say we’d probably all agree that we stop thinking of newer MBers a ‘phytes long before that point. For instance, one of our newer members, Lady Galadriel, just started posting back in August, I believe, and although I can’t speak for other bloggers on here, I really don’t think of her as a ‘phyte anymore. But, seriously, if you spend all your time dwelling on when you stop being a ‘phyte, instead of just being yourself, you (and other MBers) will probably continue to think of yourself as a ‘phyte much longer than if you just post, and forget about the whole ‘phyte stage.
As far a answering your questions, you’re quite welcome. I’ve got nothing better to do. Ok, so maybe I do have better things to do, but I’m currently putting off those better things, as I don’t feel like reading biology/geography/psychology for next week, nor do i really feel like studying geography–although I really need to do that, as I have a test in it on Monday–not to mention, I need to do laundry this weekend–it’s been four weeks since I last did it, and I’m running out of things to wear…..
pies Dave with dæmon-blood-cheese-cake. Pie points where invented by Red Tailed Hawk I think they are just one of the many points being traded around…(we really don’t know)200 Bluefire27 you noticed! yes red-wall…(don’t ask me to explain why my favorite character is evil)we do like most warriors…but The warriors series follows the adventures of four clans (ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan and RiverClan) of wild cats trying to survive in their forest homes and else where
239- Well, there really isn’t much to know about me that’s interesting. I’m just someone who wants to be on the Blog.
Wow. You’ve got quite a nice name. I like it.
240- Thanks for your advice. I guess I’m in the phyte stage then. I’ll try and be myself. Well now I know most of the basic stuff, I guess I can go on other threads.
Hello, Dave!
Hehe. I like that movie. Dave.
Hi Dave! *is extremely late, and Dave has moved four feet by the time the blueberry welcome pie hits*
You use capitalization and punctuation. That is simply amazing. There’s precious few Neophytes who don’t talk like they’re in an IM chat. (Yeah, I was one of them…) You are appointed my new best friend of the day, Dave.
In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m Beavo, and sometimes Beavo (and such) or if you’re Misswann, I’m Beevs but you’re not, so don’t call me that. I’ve been on here for [?] years, and I like writing, reading,
killing, and music. Most MuseBloggers know my girlfriend because I talk about her [way too much] (in fact, she makes up most of my stuff on here now) so don’t be surpised if I start ranting about something her-related. (Haha, Fiddler, remember the Veg thread?)Speaking of writing, who’s doing NaNoWriMo this year? *heads off to thread*
238- If you’re here, you are a real MBer. After all, were all…
Oops. I almost said it.
*runs away before being pied*
*Key Lime Pies Dave*
*Goes to NaNoWriMo Thread*
244- Wow. I’m your new best friend of the day just because I use correct capitalization and punctuation? Thanks.
I’m going to another thread now. *Leaves to random thread*
Tigerstar (216-218)-No PoPos are allowed here. As a PoPoPo officer, I fine you 25 kg of virtual choklit.
Dave- I think you’ve got the hang of MB. See you around.
248- I’m just wondering, what does PoPo mean? Am I supposed to know about it?
Hi Dave! I think I might have missed you, but I’m a ‘phyte as well!
249- A PoPo (pointless post) is a point that is off topic in a thread (a classic example is once during a R+R thread, one person said “OMG I TOTALEH LUV CUCUMBERS POST IF U AGREE” I swear to god this happened.). The PoPoPo (Pointless Post Police) are people that run around charging you choklit if you Pointless Post. Careful. Some of these PoPoPo types can get a little haughty and give you a giant lecture about PoPoing. Which is dumb, because the post of PoPoPo is imagined and not elected, so the PoPoPo have no right to be bossing you around. Even if you are a phyte.
Gunkzo–a PoPo is a “pointless post”, which some of the [grumpier] oldtimers get really irritated with. for a while, there was an active group, the PoPoPo (mostly defunct now–Pointless Post Police), which posted pointless posts of their own tell the original PoPoer that their PoPo was pointless.
Hello neophytes! Welcome to MuseBlog!
*pies Gunkzo and Dave and tigerstar* *and everyone else*
Forgot to mention, PoPo means Pointless Post. Piggy is a Pointless Post Police officer.
250–Especially if you are a ‘phyte, as ‘phytes can’t really be expected to be knowledgeable of all the little ins and outs of MuseBlog etiquette–such as PoPos
Re: PoPos: I think a lot of the objection to a “PoPo” has less to do with the content and more to do with thew way it’s expressed. For example, if the post had said “I really like cucumbers. Anyone agree?”, then fewer people would have labeled it a PoPo, because it had correct spelling and punctuation. It might even have progressed to an intelligent discussion about the subtleties of cucumber flavor and the use of cucumbers in literature, which in turn could lead to a conversation about The Importance of Being Earnest, which in turn leads to theater in general, which in turn…
You see how it is?
242~ You must be interesting. Everyone is, I guess we’ll just have to wait to find out how you are. *waits, peering curiously*
244~ Of course.
248- You can let it go this time, she (or he) didn’t know. But make sure, Tigerstar, you don’t PoPo again, it is highly frowned upon by some people, because it is pretty annoying. It’s fine if you didn’t know though. At least now ya know! *pays off choklit*
188- *cracks up* Fuzzypath! I am calling you that from now on!!!
Hi phytes!
256- It’s not that there’s nothing interesting, it’s just that I don’t really think there’s much more to say than that I’m ten years of age, I’m a boy, and that I want to be on MuseBlog. Unless you find any of that interesting, that’s basically it.
259~ Okay…we’ll let it stand at that.
Welcome aboard!
258 – You’re free to call me that, but I can’t promise that you’ll get a response.
259 – Don’t worry. We’ll find out every little thing about you eventually.
Just kidding.
I’m sure there are plenty of interesting things about you. You just don’t realize yet that we’d find it interesting.
As a neophyte, I don’t know a lot about MuseBlog’s past. So I’m going to ask you a question. Were there pie wars back then? I mean like real pie wars? Where everything was random and pies were thrown everywhere?
260- Thanks.
261- Thank you.
262 – Yes, there were tons of them! If you look at the “What’s Here” section of MuseBlog (link at the top) you can see all the past threads, pie wars and all. Unfortunately, people started obeying the letter of the pie-weapons-only rule instead of the spirit, and the GAPAs eventually decided they were too violent to continue.
We still engage in a bit of friendly pieing, but full-fledged pie wars are pretty much a thing of the past.
262- Yeah. I remember the days of the classic pie wars. I could’nt stand the “No this is pie war” because there was order. Dave, it was one of the greatest threads of all time. Just all-out, no rules pieing. I remember those days…..
Oh, I don’t think I’ve introduced myself properly. I am Cliff Eagle- Ive been here for a year now but I still feel like a newbie. Its rare to see a newbie with a sense of grammar, by the way. Keep it up.
Dave- Hello! I’m sorry I must’ve missed you early but, *pies with triple frutti-tutti marshmellow pies* Welcome to the blog! You can check out the Muser Profiles thread (just type in ‘Muser Profiles’ in the search box) to see all about us. As for pie wars, lets just say everyone on the blog was covered in banana cream and choklit for some time. We actually have a pie war going on right now if you’d like to join!
So there were real pie wars. Interesting. Now that I think about it, I wish I was there when full-fledged pie wars took place. Oh well. Thanks anyway. *Pies*
263-My opinion probably doesn’t count because I wasn’t here when the pie wars were happening anyway, but in my eyes they looked like they might have started as fun RPGs but usually disintegrated into an ‘I can do more c+ping than you can’ type display of enormously long posts consisting of many repeating =ll}s(is that how you do them?).
{] {] {]
