I love cover letters, I have a 100% success rate getting called back for interviews when I've made the effort to personalize why I think I should be hired. I feel like resumes don't really tell an employer about what type of employee they'd be.

this is a truthpost, cover letters are incredibly useful and awesome

Most boring character option possible. You're playing a fantasy game. You could be a human warrior in real life if you wanted to. Just ask Keane.

My old mains both times I played before were orc warriors so I wanted to mix it up :smith:

I only got the starter edition and have to make it last until I get paid next Monday so I imagine I'll try out other race/class combos before then

This is correct, especially for trying out all the classes, but the real answer is: don't play any of them.

BTW I've had a lot of conversations about it in at least one observer doc lately - maybe two - and I'm ready to start voting out lurkers more aggressively in the early days of games. Expect to see that from me when I start signing up for things again.

I encourage others to do the same.

I don't mind them for jobs because it lets you give context to a series of point forms on your CV, but cover letters for publications are just so pointless if you don't have a preference for reviewer. I can check a box saying I haven't submitted it anywhere else. I've already classified it into keywords so I've shown that I know why I'm submitting it to your journal. Why do I have to write this thing?

Don't forget the usual "I agree to pay usurious amounts for my black and white figure even though this journal is primarily online now and not printed anymore."

I would like this a lot because the game is a lot more fun and hella less frustrating when everyone left will participate. Even in our mason doc, friction expressed how he didn't really care anymore because of the lurking.

also I'm gonna try and be much more chill since apparently I'm getting too aggressive and I am not an aggressive person :shobon:

Re: everyone nodding heads to what I said about lurkers - we've all clearly agreed that lurkers are bad on many occasions, but I'm just documenting that I'm going to put up rather than shut up about it and encourage others to do the same. Lurker lynches have actually been criticized when it comes down to it in games on the forums, and I think it's time to change that attitude.

Yes, it might lose games in the short term, but the effect on the community will be significant in the longer term. Also, I have a hard time believing that a lurker lynch is actually a worse call than most day 1 lynches based on the scum propensity to lurk.

Posting little d1, or on any singular day for that matter, isn't lurking
