h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Welcome to Furriness 101, I'm Nini, your ever so sexy tutor who's here to make furriness more than a sideshow to your pathetic life.

Right, where to begin class?

Oh, here it is...

K, you're here so lets start, suggestions?

Well, I've already mentioned that there are certian social rules in furry society that are not obvious to the neophyte. What's good or bad manners in the furry world (that isn't bleedingly obvious, of course)

Hmm, nothing which isn't obvious, standard net etiquette procedures.

Well, you were angry when I mentioned "whatever animal you are"...

Yeah, that does happen so remember others species. Next thing?

Hope you had a good Christmas, Nini the *Fox*.

Ah, I know most Furries play roleplaying games on the web, do you?

Love to but I can't, don't know if they're for me, might be too yiffy see.

Why don't you try a not-strictly-furry game? A brilliant one is called "supermegatopia" and it's based on a superhero spoof comic of the same name. All the characters are furries (they use furry terms so are obvoiusly aware of the furry culture) but the emphasis is really on roleplaying the hilarious comicbook scenarios.
I'ts rated r13, so you can swear lightly and make sexual references but solid yiff or tinysex is out.

The reason I haven't joined is because I don't understand the computing stuff. Do you have any idea what telnet is? I'm afraid of either stuffing up my computer or that telnet connects to a different network, running up huge bills.

Do you have any knowledge of the computer side of mucks?

Hmmm, I've asked you that question before, haven't I? Silly ferret! I will consult my computer guru, a nerd named after "Camp Freddy" in the original Italian Job. (You don't need to worry about him running off with your girlfriend)

Hope not, she's cute! Might try that rp, safeness is nice. Hm, your knowiness of online doolies seem deeper than mine so share what you know.

Well the camp freddy remark is sort of a *guy* thing, if yoa know what I mean.

That's all I know about RPs, mainly 'cause I'm a fan of the comic. I will give it a go as soon as the computer side of things is sorted out.

I wouldn't know about that, why should I? Ok then, next thing?

Nothing mutch, just been to check out some computing books at the libary (Bi Guy is camping).

I've still got no idea of how the thing works though. What's this Telnet? I know it's a program, but do you need to download it or what?

Ah, Telnet... Hmm, bad, very much line coding essentialy, kinda like mIRC which is but chatrooms which is what Telnet is, chatroom software. Avoid though, not much there really.

Well, games are out for the mo as I explanied in the other coversation. Aslo, don't worry if I'm not on very often, I need to get this thing sorted. But I will be online occasionally, so we can still talk.

What's some other things that furries can do?

Which realm? RL or OL?

Wha? Whadda you mean relm? I ment ~anything~ that furries do real world or online.

What is with you?! Don't be decvieved, both to some furries are so different as to the point of being realms, they are realms, capishe? What they do is wha you do, nothing speical, maybe a little RPing and fursuiting but nothing you don't know.
