~@~@~ Welcome! ~@~@~
These steps help get you into the action, and are NOT required but highly recommended. =)
*---Post an introduction in our
welcome board. Say you are looking to start a roleplay and welcome offers; specify what you are looking for.
*--Use the "New, Unreplied Roleplays" links on the front of the site if you want to find roleplays nobody else has joined yet! That other person waiting on a reply will also be grateful you picked their thread.

Warm fuzzies everywhere and no backstory to worry about--the best way to begin!
*--Browse the character bios posted in here by other players, especially other newer players. Reply to one you might want to roleplay with and make an offer!
*--Start a few roleplay threads. If you want to be very
active, start more than one character.
*--Join a few others' fresh threads replied to within the past day. Our most active board is
Clan Joinings, but try several and figure out what suits you best.
*--Use the
mate and/or
apprentice request boards. Post links to your roleplay threads. You can also roleplay in these boards if you prefer.
*--Use the
Newbie Roleplay Finder. Post your requests' and roleplays' links there, and post in others' threads.
*--PM someone if you want to start a roleplay. Just don't make it an ad and you should be fine.
*--If you prefer
advanced roleplay, read
how to apply for advanced. This is the only section you DO need a form for.
*--Be patient!
Players are not intentionally ignoring you. They're just wrapped up in their own roleplays, as you will soon be too.
*--Put your roleplay links in your signature, with a catchy graphic if you have one. Deck out your profile with your links as well.
*--If all this still fails, post in our
help den, and bump your intro thread {or start a new one} saying you need help. Post in our
support.
