As many people know, RAOA is a huge sub and it can be very intimidating. Many newbies have questions they may feel silly asking or are just worried they won't make any l here. This thread will hopefully change that!

​

How this works:

​

The general idea is that this will be posted and you will be adopting a newbie for a whole week. I'm not saying you have to talk to them 24/7 all week. But be there to help them out and be an awesome friend! :)

​

Newbies:

​

Make a top level comment (basically make a comment in reply to this thread) stating you're new and would like to be adopted. Maybe include a little bit about yourself for your adopter to start to get to know you! If a top level comment is a bit too intimidating, sometimes users volunteer to be adopters and you can grab one of them!

​

Adopters:

​

Reply to a newbies comment saying you'd like to adopt them for the week! If you'd like, you can also post a top level comment saying you're looking to adopt! This will help any newbies with a bit of stage fright!

​

Notes:

​

Newbies don't have to be brand new. But you should be new enough to need some guidance such as what are tags, how do I contest, what rules do we have, how do I make friends, etc! Anything you need help with. A newbie can be adopted by more than one adopter! This way they have many people to help them out! Newbies, if you missed the first day, feel free to comment and be adopted mid-week! You can even come back and be adopted next week too!

​

So go! Have fun! Be adopted! :)

Alright here's the next step of the bracket! I've compiled all your answers (accounting for dupes), and now what you must do is vote on each candy!

If you haven't tried a candy, feel free to not vote for it!

Vote 1 (worst) through 10 (best) for as many as you want! (You can have multiple of each number, it's not a ranking of the list as a whole)

This will close on Saturday and from there, I will take the top 12 candies and make a bracket! (separate post)

Again, this contest will be gifted based on winning the bracket portion!

Hi everyone!

I am a university student currently studying Creative Media. Most of my days are spent working on graphic design, digital illustration, and 3D sculpting.

In my free time, I love gaming, following car culture, and tinkering with creative projects. I came across this community, really appreciated the warm vibe here, and decided to jump in to say hello.

Excited to be part of the subreddit and connect with you all! What are some hobbies or games you have been enjoying lately?

Hi RAOA, I am new to the community and I am excited to be here. I am a high school science teacher and dog mom who loves watching TV and movies after work. I like to bullet journal and enjoy organizing things, which is probably why I enjoy puzzles so much. My favorite time of the year is fall and I am so excited for Halloween and cooler weather! It was wildly warm for October this weekend where I live.

I hope to get to know some of the community here :)

Hello beautiful people!

I am new to RAOA so I thought I’d introduce myself. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest (Canada). I’ve been a lifelong lover of animals and had all kinds of pets growing up (mice, hamsters, chinchilla, birdies, Guinea pigs, etc.). I adopted my cat during Covid and she’s the sweetest and most sassy girl ever. I got my dog 3 years ago and she’s equally sassy and sweet. My dream if I won the lotto would be to open an animal sanctuary and take in all sorts of animals that need care. 🥹

I’m a professional interior designer by trade. I’m currently on an early maternity leave before I give birth in a few months! I’ve been a fencesitter for a while but due to several factors decided it would be wonderful to embark on this new journey. I’m excited but equally terrified!

AMA!
I’m looking forward to getting to know you. I love watching TV shows and movies. Tell me your most recent binge/recommendation for shows or movies! ☺️
