Hey folks, the name's Bentley. A friend of mine showed me S.T.A.L.K.E.R. a while ago and I immediately fell in love with it.
My favorite game is Call of Pripyat, though Clear Sky had its perks. I never really got to play Shadow of Chernobyl, but folks say it's as good as Call of Pripyat (even better).
I clicked on some random forum signature and the link brought me here. I was quite surprised at first, having read what this site is about. This really looks interesting, although I never really tried "roleplaying" before so I'm a bit apprehensive about this. However, I'm ready and willing to learn and I think I can take a load of criticism.
So, is there anything else I must do? Apply for anything? If you don't mind, why is the site called "Svobodalith" ?

Sup.
I'm the... ehh... administrator of this... uhh... site. I think. I doubt you'll be facing much criticism, at least from myself.
We're a pretty old and much fallen-apart Stalker community, something of a bunch of outcasts with quite a history behind us. This place is still somewhat active, but there's only 5 of us, myself, Karc, Camel, Frenchie, and BPM.
As for roleplaying, you'll get the ropes quickly. This was my first time as well, not to mention Karc and Camel, and they're doing fine.
The URL title 'svobodalith' a portmanteau of the Russian word for "Freedom" and "Monolith". It's been somewhat a meme in our community for a couple of years now, but that would take forever to explain.
Most of us (except Frenchie) agree that Shadow of Chernobyl is, without a doubt, the single best game in the series. And it is.
There's nothing to really apply for other than an RP character. You could take the time to get used to the Freedom forum though, and the stuff that goes on in there....
I'll introduce you to a bunch of other places that are integral to this forum if you're really interested, but for now I'll let the rest of the crew introduce themselves, and let you get your bearings first.
Have fun and try to not let any of the other members solicit you for anything, especially Frenchie. That almost never ends well.

Holy shit, the gods have blessed use with a new comer!
Welcome to ZSG comrade, nice to have you here.
I'm not very good at talking about myself and I don't due much here unless you count paying off the bar tabs of a certain member here. Anyway as our "beloved" overlord said there aren't to many of us right now and the only thing we have going is the RP.
Oh, as a warning about Frenchie if you have any goats keep them locked up safe.

You're the guy that's not supposed to be pissed off, I get it. Alright, well, I don't mind being criticized.
Hope so. If I can get some help with my writing, that'd be just swell.
Freedomlith?
I've been thinking about buying it, although as I've heard buying it on Steam isn't really a good choice for some reason. I'm having trouble finding a physical copy though - optical media is redundant and obsolete, if you ask me.
That's a spam subsection, right?
OK. Well, I hope they do. And who's this soliciting Frenchie?
EDIT: Thanks, blackpapermoon. And will anyone explain this Frenchie? And goats?

Yeah, about Frenchie... I'd say something, but I'll let him introduce himself instead.
Freedom is spam, for the most part, but you also have some sheer brilliance in there, like our three-years-in-the-making Three Word Story.
I used to have a physical copy of SoC I won in a contest, but I gave it away to a friend.
Also, judging just by your introduction and character profile, your writing is more than good enough to match our "standards". Karc is known for a variety of grammar that can only be described as fecal, and BPM ain't too far behind either. I'm sure you'll do just fine, as compared to those two at least.
Also, do you have Skype? We've had a convo running there for a few months, and that's where most of the action takes place nowadays, as opposed to the forum.

Greetings! I am the aforementioned Camel, although I am widely known as "Zeno" or "Camelith" (A portmanteau of Camel and Monolith). I also happen to be a moderator of the RP and the site's official Artist and composer of Music.
As for SoC, it is by far the best STALKER game and I own my copy through steam (there's really no downside to purchasing it through steam).
You'll do fine with the RP, and our's is much more lenient that many on other sites.
Good luck, Stalker, and try not to spend too much time in Freedom. It can have some nasty side effects.

Nasty side effects, huh? Nah. I spent most of my time on spam sections - I think I can handle yours just fine.Find your own thread! A camel. An artist camel. An artist camel in the Zone. Now I've seen everything.Thanks, Karcentric.Sure. About Skype...No, but I can make one. I'll send you a private message for the invitation, since I don't want the address to get caught by spambots.
Fecal grammar? Intriguing.

Hello.
Remember, artifiacts not to be taken internally. The man who told you that nightstar would give you a healthy glow in the mornings was lying about the 'healthy' part.

All hail Comrade Premier!
And I beg to differ on the Night Star issue. My third arm has been growing and glowing very nicely and healthily in its pot ever since it fell off.
Makes for a great lantern when you don't have batteries to spare for a light. Except when it's acting up and trying to grab you by the throat.

And yet.... it does become an issue when seeking 'relief' from the loneliness of the Zone.
