Guide for New Site Members
« Thread Started on Jun 21, 2007, 2:38am »

_{This is for anyone who is confused, but is just for members in general. You should definetly read this, and all the links found inside.

So, first things first, you most likely got an invitation from Neopets with the link to our site. First of all, congratulations, to get spotted by one of our admin is a good acheivement. But there are things you need to do before actually being able to roleplay on our team.

1.) At this current moment, you are probably a guest and have just started to poke around the site. Thats good. The first things (besides this nifty little manual) that you should go look at will be the Rules and the Plot in the Important information forum. Inside you will also find a sub board which is labelled Sub Plots but we will cover that later.

2.) After reading through the rules and plot and hopefully deciding that you want to join our team click the nifty little register button in the panel at the top of the page. After registering and receiving the activation code in your email log in and plug in your activation code. You are officially a member of the site.

3.) Next thing to do is go back to that forum I showed you a link for earlier, yes the Sub Plots one. Inside you will find various Sub Plots with links to the canon characters. If you wish to play one of the canon characters that isn't taken, post on the board for the character you would like to play so the admin know you want it reserved. If not you can make up your own character. They can be any age any gender any sexuality, just as long as they're human and fit any specifications listed on the character page.

4.) But your journey isn't over. In the top panel there will be a button marked Profile click the button and you will see three things "Member's Bio - Modify Profile - Bookmarks" click on Modify Profile. Under Account Information, the last thing you will see is Display Name which will have the name you registered with next to it. Change that so that it is the name of whatever character you wish to be using on the site, canon or original. You can only have one character per account, as this lessons confusion.

5.) All right, your next step is to find yourself into the Character Applications forum. Inside you will find a Character Application Template as well as Character Application Rules. Inside the rules it defines everything that will be in the Character Application Template. Your next step is to create A New Topic with the character application inside. Look at previous applications if you're still having trouble deciding what to include in your application.

6.) Your next step, kind of boring is to wait. Wait until an admin comes and either accepts your application, or tells you what could be improved on. When your application has been sorted out it will be moved to The Verdict where all applications are kept. REMEMBER that you should not start Roleplaying until you are accepted. Stick to the OOC boards until then.

7.) So you're accepted! Well what do you do now? Well the first thing to do is introduce yourself in the Introduce Yourself board, cause we'd all love to get to know you. The first thing you should do with your character is set up a character plotting page in the Character Plotting forum. It gives other users a way to know how the characters feel about each other. If you don't know what to write you can always view the suggested format which gives the code for a sample one.

After you have your own Plot Page up feel free to post on a few other peoples. Then find your way over to the Character Playbys Topic, as here is where you make sure that the celebrity you are using for you character is actually available. If yours isn't on the list, don't freak out, just let us know.

8.) Next post on the Cell Phone Application topic, you will get your own forum where other characters can call and leave you messages. As well post on the Address Book in the Internet forum, these will be used in 'emailing' other members or in chat rooms. If it fits your character post in the Journal Application board to get a journal or a diary for your character. And if you feel like it post up a Photo Album so we can see what your character looks like.

9.) Next comes housing for your character, direct yourself over to the Where I Reside Forum and there will be various types of places to live listed. Inside each board will be a sign up sheet for that type of living area. Post on there to receive a topic for your house. If it goes a week unanswered, send a message to an admin.

10.) Post a thread and get Roleplaying! =D

And thats the end of our little guide. Any questions message an Admin and we'll be glad to help you. If the Admin isn't on and your questions is urgent, you can contact Nakidia Denton, Ben "Glass" Wetherspoon, or Alan Emerson instead.

Don't forget to roleplay.
Be active.
And advertise.}

I don't really care what you think of me
Cause either way you're gonna think what you believe
There's nothing you could say that would hurt me
