MBers, it’s friendly of you to want to have some greetings ready to welcome newcomers before they arrive, but that’s not how we’re running this thread at the moment. Please wait until somebody new actually shows up.

Kay, looking back, Pax’s questions make little sense. She was wondering really- Is Pax now my forever name (not that it would not be chosen anyways)? Is this how everybody else is writing entries every time? Kay, just try to ‘splain ev’rything to poor Paxy, cause she is ver, ver confuzzled.

Okay, Pax, here’s the lowdown:
You don’t need to sign up. Just put your chosen screen name in the name blank, your email in the email blank, and start posting.
Your posts are seen by everyone else as soon as the GAPAs (which is what we call the admins around here–it stands for Great And Powerful Administrators) moderate it, which means to check that it’s not spam or anything bad.
You can change your screen name as many times as you want, but that can get confusing to everyone else, so I wouldn’t recommend doing it too much.
As is mentioned at the top of this thread, you might want to try reading the HG2MB for information on our rather peculiar culture. It won’t tell you absolutely everything, but it is very helpful. If you happen to notice something that you don’t understand, just ask. Most of us will be happy to explain in great detail.

Hiya, Pax! Welcome to the ‘Blog.

(the pies are traditional–and friendly)

Also, not to scare you off or anything, but I think I speak for most of the ‘blog when I suggest that you please try to refrain from using baby-talk so much. I’m not saying this to be mean and try and ostracize you, but rather I’m trying to help your transition to ‘blog life be that much quicker and more pleasant.

Enjoy the pies!

â™« Eragonâ™ª Ok! I got rid of that stupid extention.

in February 4th, 2009 @ 17:00

Oops. Try this:

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Some general tips:

1) There is a thread for talking made-up languages. Try Ble! Newluj-No Fulst!

2) Donâ€™t take pies as an insult.

3) You should feelâ€¦somewhat happy here. If you donâ€™t want to come across mad, people, well, you canâ€™t help it. Weâ€™re all mad here!

4) HTMLâ€“HyperText Mark-up Language. (yes, I know that by heart.) HTML is a form of computer creation. To make your text italic, write ( i ) but using . To make your text bold, do ( b ) with . ‘Kay?

ABOVE ALL, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! â†‘

5) Know where your towel is.

There you go! Youâ€™re all set for the Musiverse! Have..MWAHAHA! Funâ€¦ in theâ€¦MWAHAHA!! Beyondâ€¦â€¦.

Hello, Pax! Go to HG2MB, firstly.

More tips:

1. Pies aren’t insults. They’re compliments, or friendly injuring (like playfully shoving a friend).
2. Try to avoid chatspeak or a made-up language, that can get a bit annoying. Trust me on that, I used to be a very annoying fellowmuser.
3. Enjoy yourself and have fun!

To correct Eragon’s #4 (as his greater than/less than signs didn’t show up):

4. To make your text italic, write <i>stuff you want italic</i>. To make your text bold, do the same thing, just substitute “i” with “b”.

â™« Eragonâ™ª Ok! I got rid of that stupid extention.

in February 6th, 2009 @ 20:21

11:
The Hitchhiker’s Guide say this about the word “Hoopy”. Hoopy: A really together guy.

A frood is defined as “a really amazingly together guy.”
An example might go:

“Hey you, sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is!”

Don’t ask for the definition of “sass” because that would set off thousands of “inappropriate” alarms.

And thanks for supporting the third person thing, but I’ll stop if it annoys everyone else.

20–so. I cheated. I looked “pax” up in the dictionary……in addition to being Latin for peace, as TMFA stated, Pax is also the Roman goddess of peace. So: a question. Are you female?…..or male? Not that it matters, just prevents mistakenly using the wrong pronoun……

Anyway, again, welcome to the blog!!!!!!!

26–Ah, gotcha. In his prior post (19), TMFA had two symbols (an exclamation and a question mark, both surrounded my colons), which are MB HTML for two different smileys. So, in post 21, he was requesting the “smiley gnome” (aka, one of the GAPAs–Great And Powerful Administrators) to fix the smileys so they would show up.

Anyway, as far as your age: I’d say 14 is probably toward the middle of the spectrum. Old would be those of us who are college aged: Groundhog, oxlin, and me (and possibly others I’ve forgotten), as well as the jr/sr highschoolers. Young: I think we have several who are as young as ten, but I don’t pay too much attention to the ages, as I’ve noticed that everyoone on the blog is a lot more mature than one might assume, given their physical age. So we’ve got a large range: 10-20.

Welcome, Pax the Hamster!

19, 20- I gather you also know some Latin? Salvete, amici! (Hello, friends!)

26- I agree with Luna. You’re towards the middle.

That is a proper use of MBers. Wherever you would say “MuseBloggers” or “Muse readers” or “Crazy peeps who are really from Museica, the planet of all things Muse” you can say MBers instead.

29-Finally someone I know who remembers what HG2TG is about! Yee haw!

30- Stragâ€“n. A non-hitchhiker.

“A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value – you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you – daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have “lost”. What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is surely a force tobe reckoned with.

Yeah, Pax you’re somewhere in between. The youngest MBer here was…um…I’m not sure. The oldest are Oxlin (this excludes the GAPAs) and La Mort. (I think) I’m 11, 12 next September. You’re going to want to give the GAPAs your birthday, that can be done simply by yelling out: “Oh, GAPAaaaaassss! My birthday is…uh…what is my birthday again? Mom! Oh! Yeah! 9/17/97!” and they will add it to a calender. Once a year, on your (around, one day + or -) birthday, they will add your birthday to the blog page.

I’m 16, towards the upper range of age. But age isn’t important, as quite a few MBers have pointed out. I think Groundhog is oldest.
I knew “Pax” from Pax Romana, a term that describes a time of relative peace in Europe, because Rome controlled a lot of the big bits.

38–You are [well-respected]. By me, anyway (and probably everyone else). And that makes a perfect example of how we go more by maturity than age on here, because if I’d been forced to guess how old you were, I probably would have guessed at least 14.

But hey–age isn’t important on the blog–young, old (not that there is anybody old here, including the GAPAs–they’re all kids at heart), whatever–every Muser’s welcome. Thank goodness there isn’t an “age”, or I would probably be deemed to “old”, seeing as I’m…..almost 19???? That’s kinda scary–I’m practically an adult. *shudder* The horror.

Anyway, I do believe we’re getting a wee bit (or perhaps a lot bit), off topic, so I shall take my leave, and try to refrain from posting on until we get our next ‘phyte.

41- Welcome! Don’t be confused about this place. You’ll figure it all out in no time. The basic premise is that you write a post, hit the “Submit” button, and a GAPA (Great and Powerful Administrator (Robert Coontz, Rebecca Lasley, Rosanne Spector, or Paul Baker)) later come around and approve your post. They just make sure there’s no strong language or personal information, and that kind of thing. Then, your post appears, and you carry on the conversation! We may all seem a bit scary at first, but just act civil and we’ll all like you just fine. If you have any questions, please ask. Any of us would be very happy to answer.

About the age thing: (I forget what post and am too lazy to check) Pax, I’m thirteen, fourteen in May. I’ve been here for… *counts* almost six months. Wow, it’s been that long! *coughamIrespectedcough*But age doesn’t matter too much here. Everyone has different ideas of how old everyone else is.
To all neophytes, don’t worry about sounding stupid. We all did it at one point. My first 50 posts were extremely dumb, and my first post was the worst of the lot. Just have fun, you’ll learn the rules eventually! The one thing to remember, though, is that we don’t look too highly on double or triple posting. It gets really annoying. Even on the random thread, please don’t post “Whee! This is a pie!” and then multiple and s in multiple posts. Keep it all in one post.

I’m really excited about seeing the crazy amount of threads there are. I’ve checked out the books in progress thread and I want to join in.

87) The thread is VERY fast-paced, except during mid-terms and some holidays. Here’s a short summary though:
(I’ll leave out names to make it easier):
The parents were kidnapped, then rescued (threads 1-2). Then, everyone returned to the base (several small battles, threads 2-3). There was a council, then a big battle at the base (3-4). Now the HPBs are attacking the base with gas and troops. Some are fleeing, others are fighting and some are still buried in mid-term homework.

Now might not be the best time to join, but maybe after this battle. Try reading up the beginning (thread 1) and the end (thread 4) to get a rough idea, then jump in at a good time. Since some MBers are gone for a while, others post summaries. You can try to read only those (on the older threads) if you don’t have enough time. Always read all the new posts and avoid PoPoing. Good luck !

I posted on the latest BA thread (#4), if that’s what you mean.
I didn’t post on any of the other past threads because they happened a long time ago, and while they were happening I didn’t know about them.

Lots of people join several threads in, it’s absolutely normal! If you couldn’t join, it would be very unfair.

It’s true, the thread is very fast paced, so you need to check in often, and it’s often confusing as to what is happening because of the multiple point-of-views.
If you want to join, you should read maybe 10 posts or so back to find out what is currently happening. Now, however, we are in the middle of a battle of sorts, so you may want to wait a while before plunging in. You might want to read the current posts so that when the battle ends you can jump right in and you will be more or less up to date.

OK, why don’t we post summaries of each RPG that needs members?

RPG Alternative:
Who: Right now, we only have three active members: me (Gail Thompson), Aggie (Jean Stevens), and Zinc (Zinc Caraway).
What: A steampunk/jungle RPG.
When: Victorian or Edwardian era, in a parallel universe. Click here to find out what steampunk is.
Where: Here.
Summary: The characters left on an exploration voyage, then were shipwrecked by mechanical eels and captured by natives in the jungle. The natives wanted to sacrifice Zinc, but all the characters got away and were left standing on top of a volcano. Zinc figured out that it wasn’t a volcano; she tested her theory by falling in. Aggie jumped in after her and found that you could breathe underneath the red liquid. Gail thinks it’s actually a lake, and wants some rope for some purpose only I know (I’ll RP it as soon as someone else posts).

Muse Academy Lunar:
Who: Right now, we’re just getting started; it’s me (Sabrina White), Aggie (Klara Rehfus), POSOC (Eric… ?), Alice (Sophie Johnson), and Zinc (Zinc Cyprus).
What: A lunar Muse Academy.
When: Pretty near future.
Where: Here.
Summary: See this and here.

115–Really? For how long? Did you go visit the pyramids?

I’m afraid most of my knowledge of Egypt is most certainly not up to date….my mental image of Egypt is pharaohs and pyramids (yes, I know, those are still around) and basically, I think of it back as it was in ancient times. Of course, I know that it has cities just like any other modern country, I just can’t picture it.

In my free time I visited all sorts of pyramids, including a bent pyramid, the step pyramid at Saqqara, and a later (New Kingdom) brick pyramid that hadn’t held up so well. I also acted in plays with the Cairo community theater, including an Agatha Christie murder mystery (“Spider’s Web”) in which the female lead was Nancy Kangas’s first cousin!

113 (and any other ‘phytes)- I disagree with 119. You stop being a neophyte when you stop acting like one. Most neophytes (myself included, when I was one) have a very distinct style of posting, which becomes apparent as you stay here longer. When you lose that style, stop trying to fit in, and, thus, actually do fit in well, you’re no longer a neophyte.

Does the Muse staff keep some sort of a list of reader locations? I know there are many more diverse people who read than come here. There was someone from South Korea a few issues back, and someone from France. I wonder where else Musers reside?

You’ll be much more widely liked if you do so. Second, I assume that by “signs” you mean emoticons, or smilies. To do so, go to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog and scroll to the bottom. There are numerous codes for smilies. To use them, simply type a colon, or “:”, the word inside the colons, and then another colon. Make sure that there are two spaces between your smilie and any other text/smilies, otherwise they will not work. Just hang in there and you’ll soon become “one of us”…

I know this isn’t this thread’s purpose, but the random thread is, of course, not up yet…..

For a second there when I first hit refresh, I thought perhaps we were back to normal colors, but I see that that is not the case. I’m sure you’re still working on ’em, but I would suggest darkening the comment box and the colors around the posts–they’re a bit too pale, blending into the white background a little too much. But I do like the change!

(174) Actually, if you’re going to be off topic, it’s better to go to the H&H. As for the colors, all I did was click to return to the default setting.
