Question...

[Lydia]

I should advertise for trips to Finland:) Yeah I think I'll get used to it, though I have to finish my charrie first. I always put way too much thought into them. Though maybe that's a good thing...

Good luck with the character, if you need help, just look at other join forms to get an idea of what others did.

It is a good thing. It means the Mods will have less to nag at you about.

For instance, when making my character... IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!! Not to scare you off or anything, lol... just expect to get... 'Friendly Pointers' from some people.

[Lydia]

Thanks for the heads up. I have read a few of the latest joining posts and noticed the sometimes not so friendly pointers. I don't think I should have too much trouble with the stats in general, but the politics might throw me off. I'm not too skilled at that. But oh well, I'm here to learn as well, I can deal with the nagging...for a while;)

[Freak Boy]

Well, if you need any help politics wise just let me know. I don't know much about Anarchism, Fascism and a few others, but I know about Communism, Socialism, Trotskyism, Marxism-Leninism and, of course we all know about Capitalism, to an extent.

Zinn is the foremost expert on all things political and to question her word means death.(bad joke, don't eject me. lol) So keep that in mind when you have questions on politics as well.

[Lydia]

Thanks for the tips, if I need info on any of those that you mentioned then I will contact you. I'm really not a political person but I'm always up for a challenge and this sure seems like one.

The politics are important, yes, but the most important thing is JUSTIFICATION for your character's thoughts and actions. If you do that well, there should not be any problems.

Ok, one last question. About allignments and orginizations. Can you combine them slightly or do they all go together in a certain way. Let me explain that. For example, could you be an environmentalist and a member of the Rebels or would you have to be in The Green Party? Are all the Rebels communists or can there be variations?

[Kaschei]

You can mix and match as long as it makes sense.

Or you can give yourself two organizations if they seem similar enough.

For instance, you could be a Green Party Member and a member of the Last Wave if you are both a feminist or environmentalist.

So yes, you can mix and match a little.

If you wanted to be both a rebel and a Green Party member you could be. The rebels is just a generic term for any rebel living in Helsinki who is not a member of another rebel organization.

Ok, thank you very much for that information, it makes my character building a whole lot easier:)
