Re: Your Daily Random Comment
So, yesterday I went up to the captain of my team and said if I don't get forensics i'm going to cry (as a joke, obviously), and one of the older teammates who helped coach my middle school team told her how good a crime i was, and the captain said,"I'll see what I can do". So,the direct approach worked pretty well for me lol.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote: ↑September 20th, 2019, 8:33 amI would suggest being more direct than that.JoeyC wrote: ↑September 19th, 2019, 6:41 pm Go up to them, make small talk for a bit of time, then bring up your birding interests, show them what you've done, than transition into asking them about Ornith.

If you're good at it and interested, I see no reason they wouldn't put you on it.Blank25 wrote: ↑September 19th, 2019, 2:24 pm For scioly at my school, were allowed to choose preferences for certain events but idk how to convince them to let me do ornithology. Like I have a genuine interest and like I actually have experience in birding out in the field and stuff but like idk how to put it into words.

I mean the only way to stop something like that would be to ban users, and probably several of them might be spambots
