Your First Time Here? Understand What's Expected

Welcome to this International Community!

Here are some Tips to help you understand the structure of the Community.

The ACTIVE 24/7 Role-playing Game in this Community is: ROK II Text Adventure. We used to cater for Role-playing Games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Traveller and Cthulhu but that is no longer the case.

No matter if you joined for Role-playing Games, politics, religion or science you may want to read the Art of Discussion.

If you did not do it before Registering take a moment to revise the Constructive Posting Policy and Rules.

Here are some other quick links that you probably want to get to: Edit My Profile, Change My Avatar or Upload A Photo Of Myself.

Depending on the reason you joined you can find specific Topics by Seeing All Boards or start Role-playing:

If you ever have questions, concerns, or issues please use your Introduction Thread to ask it. Your Introduction Thread is the very first Post you made when you joined this Community. If you cannot find it look at your profile, there is a button to it there.

If this is your first time here then you may feel that everything seems overwhelming. You may also presume that we are very rigid and have too many rules - yes we do, but this is with purpose. Unlike other Communities this one has only clean, intellectual discussion with many features and it takes a huge amount of effort to keep it all together. Sometimes there are Users that join who seek to bring in the filth that exists on the net and so to make it easy to delete them we have set rules to govern behavior within the Community. If there are no rules then chaos prevails.

Q. Have a question not answered here?
A. Ask in your Introduction Thread within the Introductions & Member Sharing Board, the same Thread you started when you first introduced yourself.

Don't be scared... You won't be deleted if you simply post constructively, be respectful and avoid confrontation - it is that simple. Now to understand what we mean by posting constructively please visit this thread:
Constructive Posting Policy.

Then visit the the FAQ Board where you will find 99.5% of your questions answered through an easy to understand format. If you ever need more assistance please do post your question(s) within the same thread you began when you first arrived here - your Introduction thread.

Don't Be A BIG Talker

If you want to make yourself look good do not post things you cannot fulfill. For instance many users state in their introduction messages how intellectual they are or how active they will be, in the case of role-play gaming they say that making 30 constructive posts is nothing, yet, where are they... They cannot accomplish it, they cannot fulfill their words. If you need help, then do not be shy, ask needed information on how to do things within your introduction thread after viewing the FAQ Board.
