Frosttails apology

[.War]

Here are some things you should know, since you are new:

1) Read the rules very thoroughly. They should explain to you what godmoding and powerplaying are. Godmoding and powerplaying are something you should never, never do.

2) IC = In Character (when you are playing your character). OOC = Out of Character (when you are speaking as yourself). A lot of people spell it OCC, which isn't right.

3) Never, never post OOC topics in the IC areas. You have just done this. This post does not belong here; you do not play your character in this post, so it is an OOC post. Also, you don't need to apologize, just delete the other post. It's not like you offended us.

4) Double-posting is a big no-no most of the time. Double-posting is when you post with a character in a RP, then reply after yourself. A lot of new people do this; they RP with themselves. This is bad form; RP-ing is a social thing. You have to RP with other people. Also, a lot of newbs double-post when they forgot something. So you know (you'd be suprised how many don't!) there's an edit button to the right of the page. Look for it. ^^ Edit posts intead of adding a reply after. There are times when it is ok, but until you have enough experience on a RP site, I suggest you try to avoid it entirely.

5) Always proofread your posts. A lot of new members don't, and I've seen spelling so bad I can't read it. There's a spell-checker built into the site, so you can run your posts through that. Check it to make sure it makes sense. If the spell-checker on the site gives you problems, open up Microsoft Word or something similar. All computers should have that program.

If you have any questions, ask! ^^ We don't bite.

Usually. o.o xD

I thank you very much and I think this will be a lot more fun once I got the hang on it

[Kestrel]

It always is ^^

[ heh, you should have seen me when I first started...ah, that was so long ago ^^ I feel so...senior xD But Kest, Jet, Lilly, Bane and the rest o' those guyzers are seniorer than me. LISTEN TO THEM ^^ And you won't be munched on by Bristlepaw xD ]

[frosttail]

I have another question how do I know whether or not I am in IC or OOC ? Oh and yes I hope you will forgive me If I make some grammar mistakes English is my second language I moved to Canada from Germany. The Warrior series helped me a lot with my English.

[mottled]

[ well, the top threads are OOC, above the line that says 'BotW RPG', and when people post with these things in front of their writing:

OOC: blahblahblah
[ blahblahblah ]
(( blahblahblah ))
OoC: blahblahblah
[[ blahblahblah ]]

And etc., you'll know. ]

[Kestrel]

I've heard English is a hard language to learn. ^^ So it's understandable.

IC = In character. You have a cat character called Frosttail, right? So, whenever you are playing Frosttail, you are IC.

Example:

Kestrel bounded down the hillside to stand beside the newcomer, alert in case he attacked.

I was writing out what Kestrel was doing; I was playing Kestrel. Therefore, I was IC.
Think actors-- when they're acting, their in character.

OOC is everything else. In fact, <-- that sentence is OOC.

OK then how can I join a clan? Oh yes and how do I get my characters picture over there
<---- ?

[Kestrel]

k, pretend this is your picture --> [picture]

To the left:

[picture]

You use this code:
[left][picture][/left]


To the right:

[picture]

Use this code:
[right][picture][/right]


Middle:

[picture]

Use this code:
[center][picture][/center]

Works the same way with text, too ^^


To join a Clan, you post IC on the borders of said Clan.

[ I think she means avatar, Kest ^^ But maybe not. To get an avatar, you find a picture of whatever you want it to be. It's best if it's 100 x 100 or smaller, and you just right-click --> Properties --> copy and paste the URL into the URL space in your 'Modify Profile'. ]

[frosttail]

OK thanks you two I will try that ;D
