Hey PMC! Blox here with another blog. This is my entry for SPEAK's second blog contest!

The Forums - A Guide.

I will be giving you tips and things like that based on my experiences in the forums.

The forums in general.

Well, one thing to start with, always remember to post things in the right section. You cant post Hubs in, say, general discussion. Always remember to check if there is a special section for what you are about to post, before you post it.

There are things that belong in the blog section that people post on the forums, such as rants. If you see a rant on the forums, don't say "OMG noob this is supposed to be a blog!". Instead say: "As I see you are new to the forums, Let me just tell you that these belong as blogs. Thanks :)", See! that's much better!



The roleplaying section.

Ah, the roleplaying section. A place to express your creativity like no other place.

As any roleplayer will tell you, don't one line! One lining is a very bad thing on the roleplaying section. Put effort into every post.

Also, put thought and care into your applications!

Here is an application with almost no effort:

name:kini
species:fox
appearance:a blue fox with a tannish sweter
age: 10
powers;flying controing time speed
personality:shy
back story: was born in a town in the trees with the rest of his people but when he was about 9 he move to a city

This is what you want to avoid.

This is an app with a great amount of effort:

" The world will not know peace until the Taint on the land is purified "
Name: Din Taarm

Age: 28

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Class: Martial Artist

Backstory: When Din was a child. She was raised in a small town outside Carmichele. Her father was a a guard for Carmichele that would travel to the city everyday to keep watch. Her mother was a baker. For the 14 years that Din lived in her town. She was happy. Sometimes when her father wasnt working he would teach her how to fight with a sword. She didnt really like swords. Was never very good with them. But she still enjoyed learning. During the days when she wasnt helping her mother bake. She was getting into whatever trouble she could find. But one day, She found more trouble than she could handle.

The day before Carmichele was attacked. Din had been walking in the nearby forest. Picking flowers and looking at the strange animals that inhabited the wilderness. Until she found a taint. She hardly had time to think to run before the taint was chasing her. Once she ran out of the forest she looked back to see the taint standing at the edge of the forest. Just looking at her. Later in the night she told her parents. And they quickly decided to move into the city for a few days just to be safe.

We all know how the battle of Carmichele went. At first the guards gave it everything they had, including her father. But after night after night of being attacked. Things started to look bad. The day before they retreated. Tragedy fell upon Din's family. Her father had died in combat. Din did not take this well. When the news hit her family, She ran from her home. She didnt know where she was going. Just that she was mad at the world and wanted to get away from it. She wasnt sure how long she had been away from home. But once she had finally calmed down she went back to it to find that her mother was gone. In fact everyone was gone. She was alone.

For days Din walked random roads. Hoping to find her mother. She didnt know where the city had gone. So her hopes were not high. After almost a week of walking without almost no food and hardly any water. Din became very ill. She could hardly walk by the time a band of travellers came across her. They took pity on her and fed her. Then told her of a safe place that her mother may have gone. A monastery a few miles away. After a lot more walking and begging for food from travellers. She finally made it to her destination. When she entered the monestary she found that it was populated by monks. When she asked if they had seen her mother. They told her no. But they did offer to take her in. Deciding that her mother was probably dead and she didnt have anywhere else to go. She accepted.

In the 14 years that she lived and trained in the monestary. She learned many things. She learned that the monks trained to defeat the taints, She learned how to fight with a bo staff, And finally she learned how to heal people with herbs. One day after an attack by the taints. She asked the head monk why they didnt have any magic barriers to protect them. The monk said that all magic was evil. That it caused inbalance in the world and should never be used. After hearing things like that for years. Din started to believe what the head monk said. (( Just now seeing that this may sorta be like legend of kora or whataver it is called :3 Is it? I havent seen much of it... If it is I wasnt trying to... )) Finally when Din was 28. She heard of a quest being issued by the king. Din decided it was time to do what she was trained to do. Cleanse the world of these taints.


Wow.

Now that's the kind of app you want to be like.

Community Challenges.

The contest area, where people post contests. This section is also a great place to find unrecognised skinners, bloggers and builders. Just a couple of pointers based on my experience:

- Put time and effort into your contests.

-Have yourself and at least one other person as a judge.

-Give a generous deadline.

Ghosts in the code.

I don't really know much about this section. One thing to say is that don't automatically dismiss everything you see on ghosts in the code as fake. Not everything on there is herobrine! If there is someone that is new to minecraft and they see something they don't know what it is, explain it to them!

Forum games.

The forum games area is a very fun section! All the fun games are played here! To make a game that will become popular, you should think up an original idea. Don't use an idea that has already been posted. The good games are the ones that are unique!

Hey! Thanks for reading this blog!
