About Beginning Your Journey:



How am I supposed to start posting?

If you want to start posting just know that you must first post your characters profile. When that is done basically post wherever you want. Admins/Moderators will help with any confusion and we will be happy to help you.



What do I post for a Profile?

Character Template is a guide telling what is required. You can add whatever necessary or extra that you know.



So I made my profile... what now?

Now you are beginning a journey. Go to whatever section of the battle you belong. If you are a Jedi go to the Temple trials and ask for a Master. If you are a Sith go to the Temple trials and ask for a Master also. If you are a bounty hunter join whichever side and just post. Have fun! Post everywhere (Not Spam!) and have fun with it.



I finally got started but want to know if I can become a Moderator/Admin... what do I do?

See Moderator/Admin Rules and see if you can do all of that. If you can simply ask if you are at <I>Council Rank</I>. Council Rank is simply posting 300 times and having 3 rank stars. If you are rejected it is simply because we have many people asking and we do not have enough space for the job.



I am started and ready to have fun... where do I get my signature and avatar?

Your signature and avatar is optional. Though it makes you character seem better. Signatures and avatars can be made in graphic programs... even Paint Bucket. You can host your signature or avatar at a hosting site. There are so many... like Image Shack for example. I recommend just finding a signature or avatar at Yahoo pictures and typing in "Star Wars" or something.



Advanced Member's Questions:



Does this site allow cursing?

Though this answer is in the rules, some people scan right past it. Cursing is not allowed, though I do not flip when I see a minor cuss word. But bad language is not allowed and you could be banned or warned by this.



Can I kill someone? If so how? Who decides?

This question is a biggy... let me say this loud and clear... You may only kill a character by permission of either an admin or the victim. This is only allowed when it is an obvious loss. If you die you can join the Force, (If you are a Jedi/Sith/Force user) though it will be boring for you can only speak and influence people.



I really don't like this character... can I make another by reregistering?

Yes you may certainly make another character... but only by reregistering... and reregistering only.



So I can't change my name? Can you please change my name!

No I cannot... it strictly says you must reregister. Sorry, next time be sure that this is the character you want to use.



Is reregistering a lot Spam?

We actually do not care how many times you make a new character... but if you register that much your posts will eventually turn into Spam because of pointlessness.



Can I use your banner or pictures?

No. The copyright says all pictures and banners are ours. You may not steal any pictures or you will be charged with the crime of plagiarism.



Will you really tell on me if I do steal? I don't believe you!

Want to try and see... plagiarism is a huge crime and is serious. A federal crime is always dealt with by serious punishments. I actually don't want to see people in that much trouble but it is said over and over. So don't do it... a college student was taken away to jail for plagiarism. Of coruse we might just tell an IF admin.



Tips on posting in RPG:



How long do my post have to be?

I'd expect for it to be more than one sentence. If it is a starter of a topic then the post must be at least one paragraph. We encourage long posts. But remember others must RP too so don't make a topic and end the topic. That is suppose to be in Fan Fiction. Of course, if you must, you can sometimes do this.



Could you give me some pointers?

Read others posts and get use to the feel of RPG posting. Be descriptive. Tell me every little detail the character sees, hears and smells. Tell us what the character feels and what the character does. Think about your location. If I'm on Mustafar think of what you might do or someone in Star Wars might do on Mustafar. Spell correctly and you should be alright. It usually helps to read over what you wrote to help make your sentences more accurate.



How do you exactly RP... what is RP and RPG?

RP stands for Role Play. Simply means acting as if you are a completely different character. It means playing and acting real in someone else?s shoes. In this case a Star Wars character. RPG means the same thing. Role Playing Game. This is a Role Playing Game obviously. To Role Play simply do an action and interact with other Role Players.



Business Questions:



Exactly how do you guys that made this site profit? Looks like hard work to me.

We don't profit at all. If we do, we will probably use a donation box.



Is the donation box required?

No! Never would we force anybody to give us money. The donation box is just for us to get money while working.



Who made these cool banners?

A friend of ours screen named Tinuviel which remains anonymous by name. She made this for us. The banners cannot be stolen.



Thanks for the help... who is this by the way?

Jin Zar your friendly neighborhood Admin... come to me for any further questions we can add. </div>
