Welcome, Neophytes! (March 2009 edition)

Howdy, stranger! You new around here? Come right in! We’ve got some pie waiting for you, and friendly locals ready to answer your questions and help you feel at home.

For starters, we recommend that newcomers (that’s what “neophytes” means) look over The Rules and The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog), which contains more helpful information than you can shake a stick at. We don’t know why you’d want to shake a stick at it, but now you know you don’t have to bother.

MuseBlog Veterans: Please use this thread only to welcome newcomers as they arrive and answer questions that they ask.

2- Trying to get more free pie, eh? I’ll not oblige.

5- Huh. Confusing. I hate name changes. That reminds me: Neophytes: Please choose a name and stick to it. Name changes later on become very confusing and annoying. In the past, I’ve not realised that a person who changed ens name was the same person; I thought they were two different people. So pick a name and hold onto it. Thank you.

11- It’s from the Greek, roughly meaning “newly planted”. And you have the right idea; HPBs are cool. Not evil. If you disobey, they will change you, as they did me. *twitches*

Welcome, Randomosity 101 and Peace_Pies_The_Beatles_Rock!!

I should say, particularly for Peace_Pies_The_Beatles_Rock!, if you have a preference for how people shorten your name, you might want to tell people, as it can get tiring trying to type out all of the many names!

I sense what bothered Piggy most was the lightly disguised first post grab. Maybe not, but that’s just a thought…

Don’t worry about it that much, but be forewarned that some MBers might shorten your name to “PPTBR”, if, for example, you join an RPG. Changing your name is confusing for other MBers, and some of them might still call you by the old one (guilty, I’m still calling RoseQuartz LadyG even though she changed her name months ago ).

Now that you’ve said hi, plunge in and start blogging. :This months thread (see sidebar) is always a good place to start. Have fun, and if you ever have any questions, just come over. Despite what you’ve just read, MBers are very friendly and happy to help

18- Exactly. I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that she’s no longer LadyG, or, as I thought of her for some reason, Lady Gad. Even davidude to E2MB mixes me up.

17- Well, it’s good to see you anyway!

16- No, actually, although I do see that now. It just seemed like a ploy to get free pie. By the way, I was wondering: does anyone else abbreviate your name as HAWK, or is it just me? I know; that’s random.

Anyways, neophytes, just try to act civilised, use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling, contribute to conversation, and just act normal. Everyone, (especially me, when I was a newbie), tries to be “cool”, in MB standards, or interesting, or special in some way when they first begin posting, but it’s much nicer when people just act normal. You’ll fit in and lose your neophyte status when you stop acting like one. You may not see how you’re posting at first, but, in a while, be it months or years, you’ll look back and cringe at your early posts. I can barely bring myself to read my first few posts. All in all, welcome to MuseBlog, be nice, and have fun!

19–haha, my posts only make me cringe because I was so formal. And I was much less lax about capitalization when I was new to the blog (I won’t say phyte, as I never thought of myself as one–probably because they didn’t exist yet), whereas now……..I’ve still maintained the spelling (with the exception of typos) and grammar, but I have allowed the capitalization to slip, and no longer see the need to be so….I dunno, serious?

27- The beginning of your post, not the end. The Recent Comments sidebar cuts off comments at the first period, so before a spoiler a Spoiler Warning with a period hides the comment. Some MBers don’t like the sidebar, so they hide all of their posts. I assumed such.

38- Welcome! Just a few hints: 1. Try not to double- or triple-post. It gets annoying. Just try to say everything you want to say in one post before hitting “submit”. 2. Be nice, don’t swear, and try not to be annoying. If you stick with MuseBlog, you’ll eventually lose your neophyte status and see how nearly all ‘phytes post. Just be yourself. At the same time, don’t try to make yourself stick out or be “different” in some way. I just find that irritating. 3. As Syllabub said, don’t post random, non-topic-related things on any thread but the random thread. Although Musers worship randomness, we need order as well. 4. All in all, have fun!

Eragon (inventor of hugely non-successful Muszey points)

in March 11th, 2009 @ 11:45

Well, hello my little neophytes! Gather round old Uncle Eragon’s chair and I’ll tell yeh a story. *oooh, ahhh.* Once upon a time, there was a year- and a half year old MuseBlogger. His name…was Eragon. He desired to enter the realm of successful point-makers, such as POSOC, who invented the legendary spzdk points (or so the story goes.) *ooooh, ahhhh* Will yeh stop that! *yes, uncle* So, eh, anyway, he made Muszey points. Nobody really liked them, but he gave them out anyway, to folk like Luna, who answered my Harry Potter Trivia questions correctly. And the points were fine, and people got on, and life here at MuseBlog was Mostly Harmless as usual. But the the Council of Point-Making People, me and someone else, decided to officially disband my points. I cried myself to sleep for the next two weeks. My points were a failure!!! And Eragon was sad. So very, very sad. He was so sad, he decided to go out and drink mead all night. He came back with a gold hoop earring, and a Fender Stratocaster tattoo on his back, and and an Emover (only RockBand lovers will recognize that) haircut. He lived sadly ever after. The End.

Well, that there’s my story! Have fun on the blog.

BA-TNG seems to be very attractive for -phytesâ€¦ I think I’ll just answer all questions in advanceâ€¦

1) HTML:
All of the allowed HTML is under the comments box. Here are the most important ones:
– the i is for italics. They look like this
– “strong” makes text really fat
– ~~see 44~~

To end HTML, just put a / in front of the word/letters (see 444)

I posted a summary for BA:TNG on the last threadâ€¦

53) You’ll see that Mbers definition of “normal” has nothing to do with that of the rest of the world. Our GAPA Mr Coontz posted this quote at the end of the HG2MB, when sanity went the way of the dodo, to describe it:

â€œBut I donâ€™t want to go among mad people,â€ Alice remarked.
â€œOh, you canâ€™t help that,â€ said the Cat: â€œweâ€™re all mad here. Iâ€™m mad. Youâ€™re mad.â€
â€œHow do you know Iâ€™m mad?â€ said Alice.
â€œYou must be,â€ said the Cat, â€œor you wouldnâ€™t have come here.â€

Generally it’s about a month. Some people skip the whole neophyte stage. Some people drag it on and on.

72) I don’t really think of you as a -phyte anymore.

My big definition of -phytehood:
A -phyte is a new MBer. Usually I would say -phytehood lasts for 1-2 months. MBers define you as a -phyte when they don’t know you yet. Everyone has a distinctive way of posting (I’m not talking about eccentric spelling here), except during the -phytes stage when you try to
a) fit in
b) stand out
c) be crazy
all at the same time. The only exception so far is R101, who makes a point of posting like a -phyte the whole time. Once you stop worrying about how to post and it sort of comes naturally, you’re no longer a -phyte. Sometimes, when there are lots of new MBers, -phytehood is over soon since the others are more -phytish then you. SBF came at the tail end of generation fourteen, just missing it and was the only -phyte for a long time.

People I consider as -phytes:
Jakob Wonkychair
Silver Lining
PPTBR
bluellama
R101

If you post more, you lose your -phyte status quicker. I skipped being a -phyte since I couldn’t find the thread .
YodaSchmoda, you can’t be a -phyte, since you actually started posting a day before I did and I don’t think I’m oneâ€¦ Am I ?

I could’ve sworn you were an established blogger when I came back from my last “break” in August……..But I definitley remember YodaShmoda as being newish……kinda intermediate, really, depends on the day and the post whether I think of en as phyte or not…….

*checks who’s here* Wow, you really only started posting in October? Dang, i think I’m going mental. Huh. Perhaps it’s because you skipped posting like a ‘phyte, and just posted like an established MBer, so you bypassed the ‘phyte stage altogether…….*is so confused*

Wow, I”m just going to leave now.

Ah! I see we have a ‘phyte in need of HTML help. You came to the right place…the MuseBlog! You’ll just go crazy for this place (we’re a tad crazy ourselves) and you might just go crazy literally too, if you’re lucky. “n00b” was our classic word for a newcomer, but then newbies here started considering it an insult of sorts. So, now we call them neophytes. We can still “pwn” though. I’m eragon, a sightly geeky homeschooler with a love of Kokopelli. If you care to let out your anger, our universal cuss is “Oh, Cake!” HTML (Hypertext Mark-Up Language) is essentially a form of computer “creation”. It allows you to alter the appearance on-screen. For example, a certain command will make your text Italic, Bold, underlined and big. A HTML command is inserted between these brackets, , more commonly known as greater than, less than signs. HTML will not be effective on all forums or blogs, so if you’re thinking of making your own, the best starter kit is Blogger by Google. Its totally free and easy to set up. I have a blog too, but Mr. Coontz and the other GAPAs will zap it. (Too bad, I have a picture of Kokopelli!)

The commands are as follows:

 For Italic.
 For underlined.
 For bold.
<a href=”” title=””> yourlinkhere For a link. To “turn off” the HTML, do this:

</(i, b, u or a)>

I may not be clear enough, so go here.

73- You didn’t skip ‘phytehood because you didn’t go to this thread. I didn’t either when I was new, but, looking back at my old posts, they seem excruciatingly newbie-like. You’re not “old” yet either, per se, but you’re not a neophyte.

74- That’s a very widespread term. Before neophytes, new people on the ‘Blog used to be called “newcomers”, simply enough, which was often shortened to “newbies” and subsequently “n00b” or “noob”. When that got out of hand, the GAPAs exercised their vocabularies and came up with “neophytes”.

77- Sure, you can use “cake” as an expletive here, but more creative forms of expressing one’s anger are more well-liked. One I came up with is “Great Barrier Reef!” Try it! It’s fun.

94- No, not yet. Though I must say the name shortening did throw me off and possibly make you seem newer.

I’ve been thinking: exactly what constitutes an oldbie? I suppose that most of the people whom I consider to be oldbies are the ones whom I have known since my early days. Then again, there are some people who are relatively new whom I consider oldbies, so I don’t think it’s a specific age. I think we have, as a whole, a certain style of posting. I think MuseBlog is simply natural to us now, and our typing reflects that. I, for one, now couldn’t imagine my life without MuseBlog. I realize I’ve only been on here for about 2 and a quarter years, but it seems like much, much longer. There was a time a while ago where I didn’t go on MuseBlog for a good month, but doing that now would be impossible. And now I’m just rambling on, aren’t I? Anyway, I believe that there are three distinct levels of MuseBloggers: neophyte, normal, and oldbie. Where the boundaries lie I cannot say for sure, but they’re there.
Then of course, there are the Ancients, the MBers of yore, of a different era. The GABOOMBA posters. I wish I had heard about this site earlier so I could have joined them.

This post was a tad off-topic, but I think this thread is the best place for it.

95 – Being moderately recent here myself (six months in April), I’d say that I think of as oldbies anyone who was here when I got here, posts regularly, and seems to grasp well the style of post commanded by Museblog. In other words, my definition of oldbie is much the same as yours, except for that I would put myself outside of rather than within that group.

98: A lot of people have different ideas about ending your neophyte stage. The most popular is after one month of regular posting. The second is when you stop considering yourself one. Mine is when people who aren’t that old stop considering you one. That automatically ends when you get to your blogiversery. Have fun!

And I don’t think we need to know when we stop becoming neophytes. We first come here and get pied, and then we are a member, so we just blend in to the society of MuseBlog!(No you don’t have to “blend in,” but I don’t know if anyone should stick out when they’re new…)

I don’t think I’ve come here enough, I should be more welcoming. Soon I *will* turn into one of the cranky old men yelling to GET OFF MY LAWN YOU NINCOMPOOPS.

The apparent change in gender that goes with that is a bit startling. I think I like being a girl, except for the bit’s I don’t.

Now that I have successfully confused everyone present, hello neophytes! Specifically Ford Prefect, nolagirl7, iamacutie29, and Koppar! And all the other names on this thread I do not recognize although that may be due to my not being on much, so if any of you have actually been here for a while and I haven’t noticed I appologize.
I’ve been on MB for quite a while although I don’t post as often now, so if you have any questions you want to ask, go ahead.

Have a plate of warm choklit chip cookies now, and some milk.

Comfy? Enjoying yourself?

As for the italics, no space is necessary between the and the text you want italicized, nor between the text and the closing HTML ().

Also, as you probably figured out, when you type the angle brackets using the corresponding key on your keyboard, they don’t show up but convert straight to the HTML. If you want them to be visible, you can use the “code” & lt ; (w/o spaces) and & gt ;

139- well, sometime before I began subscribing, there was a scandal involving cats and dogs and the muse mail page. everyone wanted an issue/article on cats or dogs and the editors got annoyed and hired the HPBs to block out all mentions of cats or dogs. On the blog here, they are more a symbol of evil, trying to take over the world.

139 (and referring to 140 and 141)- The HPBs were the editors’ way of censoring any fan mail regarding cats and dogs. First, Muse had, after many requests, an issue devoted to cats. This made the dog lovers very angry. They demanded a dog issue, which was granted. However, this rivalry more or less dominated the Muse Mail pages for a while, so any reference to cats or dogs was censored with a row of hot pink s. Now that things have cooled down, the Hot Pink Bunnies, or HPBs, are absent from the magazine. However, you can still find them here on MuseBlog. Many MBers say that they are an evil force bent on taking over the world, while others say they are a necessary part of Mostly Harmless, which is MuseBlog’s plan to more or less take over the world. Don’t worry about not knowing that already; I’ve been subscribing for five years and MuseBlogging for two years and a handful of months.

Question: What in the world does ‘SFTDP’ mean? Shotguns Fire Ten Dentists’ PhDs? Slow Frogs Taste Dry Poop? I’m clueless.

The Old King’s Bard, Eli, Romley… Welcome!

148- Yes, I am going to try to answer your questions. No, you do not ask too many questions. I don’t know about the pies… I think so though. Did you check the Rules yet? Those are the rules. I think. *is confuzzled* What did I just try to explain?

148) It depends on what you consider as rulesâ€¦ The HG2MB mentions all the important ones, but of course there are little things that are considered polite such as not using chatspeak or bleon normal threads toprevent confusionâ€¦ Just try it out and, when in doubt, ask others.
