I have been in OC for about six months now, I have seen drama's, Break up's, stupid rules, hackings, stories, 'SALES', spamming and rude topics. And I was asking another OC'er what I should do for my blog and she (xx.Raven.xx) suggested I so an OC survival guide. So Thankyou. Thats an awesome Idea.
1.
Do not be a noob. Noobs are what OC'ers hate the most, They're irritating, lying and... noobish. So don't be one.
2.
Use correct grammar and spelling Using 'u', 'y', '2' and '4' is 'frowned upon' in OC and seriously, Making a topic saying 'Please can you guys vote me Covergirl? I have been trying for ages and I would love to be on the front of the magazine' will get you alot further than 'plz can u guys vot meh cg???? i hav been tryin 4 ages and i wuld luv 2 v on da frunt of da mag' Trust Me.
3.
Do not ass kiss like crazy. Okay, in any club you're going to need to ass kiss a little, But don't do this.
Well Known- Can I get your opinion on my medoll?
An OC'er- Sure. I like it, but I think you should change the hair colour.
Ass Kisser- IGNORE HER. BISHE. Keep the hair colour the same, its amazing. you so amazing at making medolls. Can I have a pass makeover?
It will leave the Well Known, stunned, un-amused and frankly, a little worried for his/her life. o.o
4.
Make Random Topics For the first few weeks, knock yourself out on random topics so people see you alot. Then when people know you, you can start asking for advice/venting. Because trust me, if your not known and your venting about something little like you've had your phone taken off you, you'll get alot less sypathy than if a well known did it.
5.
Have Fun I know its stating the obvious, but don't get so wrapped up in 'Surviving' OC that you don't enjoy being in OC.
(Thankyou to xx.Raven.xx who inspired me [;)
