I would like this thread to be more than just my whining, but act as a sort of guide to any other players who might feel like I do right now.
Being new to this paragraph styled role-playing thing, all the threads in progress are a bit intimidating. Most frustrating, though, is I have no idea where to start! Do I attempt to make my own plot? The 'open' plots are already in progress and due to the exclusive environment, I have no idea how I'd fit in with these situations or that I don't belong. For instance, as far as my background goes, I haven't even been recruited yet, but the recent threads I've seen are already on the ship? Do I pretend I've already been recruited? Do I assume no real character development happened since I was brought on-board? I guess what I'm trying to get across is the feeling of too many options and none at the same time.
Any suggestions for me and any players like myself?
Again, I'm not trying to be whiny, but express frustration that's making it hard for me to post; and with any luck, this thread and it's responses might help others in the future.

Oh it's fine Wesley. It's understandable to be frustrated by it. One of threads on the ship is the day that we're landing. We wanted to get started, but y'all weren't ready with your applications yet. =p
What we need to do is get a thread started where you actually get recruited. If you wanted to start a new thread in Moai, we can meet you at the seedy bar you spoke of. Or, one of the crew could start if if you'd rather. I might have to get one of the others though. Chrys doesn't really want to leave her ship.

Once I finish Sola (today!) I'm going to post a thread on Moai. I get the concept of what we're supposed to do. Follow my lead!

I sort of find a way to "fall into" threads I think are interesting. Come up with a unique enough way that truly gives an opening for interaction and you're liable to be swept up in the thread before you know it! You learn by trying, and you will always improve, so just get out and bring your character to life!
