My guess is that 'mind goes blank' along with often being ignored might mean you are unskilled at communicating with people. There are two basic things that might help.

One is talk to your GM in private and forthrightly tell him about your problem and ask him to help you make sure you get your turn and your time in the spotlight. You might even explain your problem in an email so you can fully express your difficulties, and ask him to meet with out outside of the game to try and work on some solutions. The problem with this is, generally relying on other people is chancy at best, and often you can expect people to just continue to behave the way they have been.

The other thing you can do is improve your own skills. Something like a speech class, debate club or joining a toastmaster club might really help. Of course their are books and similar ways to acquire knowledge, but developing social skills really requires social interactions.

well my mom did always say that I am bad a communicating with people.

well he has a little notepad that he write down initiatives and stuff on. but I don't think he uses it to keep track of who's turn it currently is.

As you can see, that combat pad can help with that.

Yes I see

That's not what I'm saying.

I said MOST of you. :)

Stand up. People tend to take notice when you stand up to say something.

yeah I kind of tried that. Maybe I need to do a jig on the table. :) I might be to tall for that though. :(

so it seems most of you are saying that I should be more direct or to stand up or something to make it so taht I am more noticable, but I've tried doing that. I end up saying "guysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysguysgu ysguysguysguysguys." and by the time they notice that I am saying something I've forgotten.

I have also tried doing that standing up thing, they don't notice that I'm doing anything. I think it might be the Camoflouge ranger cloak from rangers aprentice that i always walk around in (fo' realz). Though you may know it better by the name of Cloak of elvenkind.

I am having a problem. The problem is called called:

how am I supposed to solve my puzzles and stuff in Pathfinder if nobody pays any attention to me.

So far I have "Figured out" one thing. and it wasn't even any help for us.

I have always been a fountain of ideas, but once it's my turn i forget them all and my mind goes blank. I have tried writing things down but then once it is my turn the DM says "it's your turn what do you want do do?" so i open my mouth and then one of the other members of the party says something funny and the DM starts talking to them and then they forget it's my turn and I get skipped.

Can anyone help me?
