one of us, one of us: chatter post
This is just to BS and start ballparking shenanigans, really.
If you could give a quick rundown on how things type out and work here that would be great, yeah!
small small between < and a greater-than sign. "/small" etc
big "big" and "/big"
italics "i" and "/i"
underline "u" and "/u"
And to insert a link, it's [a href text=""] and [/a] only with < instead of [
And it did not work! I don't got it.
I'm sorry! It's weird to explain. To end an effect like italics, it's [/i] only in the less-than and greater-than alligators instead. I should have put it that way to begin with.
Hoo boy, there should be buttons here or something to make this easier on noobs like me...
This is fun to figure out though!

There you go! Sorry about my poorly-worded explanation.
Here . . . you can see the HTML tags with them ACTING like HTML tags because I've added underscores
This will be a strikeout

<_s_>This will be a strikeout<_/s_>
<_small_>This will small<_/small_>
<_b_>This will be bold<_/b_>
<_em_>This will be italics/emphasis<_/em_> (HTML5 shifted to "em" over "i")
And to insert a hyperlink is <_a href="Link goes here"_>Text goes here<_/a_>
And remember, with VERY few exceptions (probably none you'll ever use/need), all tags need the opening and closing tag (the closing tag is the one with the slash). If you forget to close a tag, EVERYTHING after your opening tag will have the format you forgot to cut off. XD;;;
Also, this isn't just Dreamwidth. This is basic web coding, called HTML. ^,^ (I really should back on the ball with my own web dev stuff. 9,9)

I'll get the hang of it as I go, I'm sure!
Ohh, this brings me back to the days of coding systems for the one MUD I played (name escapes me atm) so that combat could be at least doable.
Also, the error message in my comment above is because the browser (at least mine, and probably ANY) recognized that I was "trying" to write HTML but also knew it was "bad" code (deliberately bad in this case so you could see it). Use those tags without the underscores and you'll be fine. =3
Also you can combine tags. Like for instance, sometimes you may have seen me add OOC-ish comments in narrative for Darnellthat I wanna throw in for the other player to read but isn't actually part of the narrative proper, I'll use both the "s" and "small" tags. XD
That's not necessarily a DWRP convention, btw, just something I do. XD;;; But it's an example of combining tags.

AAAaaand I just realized I kind of totally flubbed my comment up there and said the exact OPPOSITE of what I'd meant. 9,9
"Here . . . you can see the HTML tags without them ACTING like HTML tags because..."
But yeah, it's just basic coding.

It'll work, I'll get it to work. Basic coding might not have been my friend in the past but it's basically just no slash thing and then slash thing to make it work, so I think even I can't mess that up!
/thumbsup
It's starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of this! I'm SO EXCITED

FUCK YEAH ADEPTS HI THERE WELCOME TO DWRP
Sorry I don't have an adept journal to toss at y'all. Clearly I need to roll up some characters to play with y'all or something.

DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR HONEY MAGE
because Sam still namedrops him from time to time
I vaguely remember we agreed one of his sisters was married to a fleshworker somewhere stateside
ETA: MARISSA, WE HAVE A TEXAN HERE FOR ALL YOUR QUERIES
eta: Infy, I wasn't 100% sure it was you until I saw "y'all"

I DO VAGUELY REMEMBER MY HONEY MAGE I'm glad he still gets talked about. :3c I made some NPC sheets for his sister and her husband a while ago, but I don't think Felix ever got a sheet.
His sister and her husband opened a bar/restaurant in Chicago that was a widely known neutral ground/Occult Underground hangout, and had a secret menu where you could order things that adepts might want like razor blades or blue honey or whatever.
LMAO I'm sorry I should've named myself. I just was mo_om!!! and pounced on the post too fast.

HAI INFY! ITZA DRAGON. With a non-UA character too, so...
nvm that his whole damned canon is basically ONE LONG UA CAMPAIGN omg
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI~
that's the best kind of canon
Why hello there! I don't have an adept to toss at you, but I tend to toss all kinds of other crap at everyone. Such as you've been hearing about from the House thing. =D Glad to have you joining this crazy shit show.
Hello hello! I have been following that House thing like wow. Glad to be here!
O HAI THAR
I am so glad I was told to come to this site, honestly, this is going to be a blast.

Hahaha. So I've heard. I'm glad you're enjoying. And looking forward to you seeing Sam's alien friend. XD
I hear this alien friend can be a bit...jerkish. So naturally, I'm very curious to see what, exactly, it does when it shows up :P
LOL He's such a good hearted asshole, though. XD
Btw: what you might see in this journal are just psl's between me and Dragon to give us a small break from work.
If you want to follow more "canon" stuff anything I post will go up in myownlittleworld and anything Dragon posts will go up in alltheworld. Not everything in those journals are related, but relates items do go up there.
