*shakes her head* Run-on sentences ... *summons Guards* Take him away.
As far as the posting anxiety goes, you get over it around you 100th post. After all, what do you care what other people think, especially people who have nothing better to do than spend all day posting on an internet forum?

Plus, if you feel uneducated on a topic, talk to people on the thread, get informed, and then formulate an opinion.
Forum anxiety is pointless with NS, because unless you're a jackboot licking nazi or frothing at the mouth conspiracy theorist, we'll probably enjoy your company.

You're not missing out on much in this section.Terramaria wrote:Why is it then that I instantly become anxious when I go to an online forum for a game I love because I don't want to sound like an idiot?
Combination of high expectations of oneself with the fact that most people make fools out of themselves the first time? Just a guess.
The easiest start is in Factbooks - viewforum.php?f=23 - embassy threads and the like are easy to get into and you can find examples of acceptably-written posts, as well as plenty of subpar ones.
The milrealism thread in FaNI - viewtopic.php?f=23&t=330512 - is a good place for OOC discussions and getting to know the people. It's populated by some of the better players in the game.
GE&T - viewforum.php?f=6 - is another forum that's easy to join, but with the RP going on there to some degree meaningful.
International Incidents is a more involved forum requiring some commitment, and the forum called NationStates is largely reserved to serious roleplaying these days.
