thank you for posting it. It was very well worded and brought up a lot of good points.
Mulling over the whole newbie welcome thing (since I've certainly been guilty of not replying to intro posts out of tiredness of repeating the same explanation) - maybe a good compromise is that either some character or some IC welcoming committee (they have existed in the past!) could make pamphlets that explains the basics about Paradisa and put them in every empty room? That way people have the OPTION of having their character read that (or be yelled at to read it by someone like Asuka whose voice I can hear right now...) instead of going through the intro thing (or they can use the pamphlet to have characters notice things that are not necessarily covered by the mun doing the introduction that the new mun/character might react more heavily too). That way their intro and the comments that go on can vary a bit more than someone lost and confused (or maybe some pamphlets have errors where they are as badly written as a VCR manual, WHO KNOWS).
And if people still want to do the Paradisa 101 talk, their character can easily be like "WHY CAN"T YOU JUST EXPLAIN IT TO ME?! THIS PAMPHLET LOOKS LONG AND DOESN'T HAVE EXPLOSIONS AND YOU'RE RIGHT THERE DISEMBODIED VOICE SO JUST EXPLAIN TO ME OKAY D:"
Plus that might fix the whole issue of those characters who are always like "I read the journal and got all the info before making my first post". Since this always confuses me since...each page is an entry so that would be about...oh 48,265 pages with no table of contents or markers to where the paradisa info is..../scratches chin
