Honestly, TA wasn't my first group. It was just my first group on my rahmennoodlez account. Prior to TA, I was in groups that were filled with drama, dirty words in every other sentence, and a handful of unfriendly or rude characters (and by characters I mean people who I honestly can't name anymore). Who knows how I survived that haha!
In TA though, it was different. I actually enjoyed my time there, not being scared of who I might meet up with or what things they would say. In the beginning, I admit I was a bit hesitant, but right off the bat, I knew they were a friendly crew. MOREOVER, THEY ROLEPLAYED WELL.
But seriously, I am super glad I had chosen that group to start off with in my new attempt at dA because had it gone wrong again, I'd probably have not met some wonderful people nor created the several characters that I have today (and love very much). I'd have probably been less friendly as well.
I remember whenever new people would drop by the chat and we'd greet each other all formally and somehow jump into rp. Then when there was clear regulars, we were able to create relationships! Some of those people are my friends to this day and although I may not be in contact with them 24/7, they ought to know that I think so dearly of them and miss them a whole bunch. Hopefully fellow TA bros can say the same.
Which leads to the downer of my confession. Sure, I made a lot of friends through TA, but it was really only those that dropped by the chat. Looking at the group as a whole, there are SO MANY CHARACTERS/MEMBERS that I haven't talked too. And literally, the span of people I talked to were like... probably around 10% of the members. And those that I still can talk with at anytime is a lower percentage than that. I also wished that I could've befriended some people that did come in or were active or people that I just continuously missed (//stares at Blue and Ribbon)
Just wanted to say that the TA members were probably the best range of members I continue to respect. I don't remember a day where huge drama happened. I can only think of the good times we had.
And we had like 20+ people in the chat. That was a doozy, but very fun.
....Yeeep. I don't know about the others' opinion so I can't speak for them; only speaking of what I saw from the group. Pretty promising.
