ADD YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION
Fill out the form and post a reply. Yes, it is supposed to look like a text box-- it saves me a ton of time.
READ THE RULES
You should have read this before you applied, but if you did not (tsk tsk) take the time out now to do so. Obey them!
READ THE FAQ
As with the rules, you should have read this already, but if you did not please do this now. And if you have any questions, promptly message the mod journal. There are no stupid questions.
CHECK YOUR DEPARTMENT
Figure out where you are working and what your job is.
CHECK WHERE YOU ARE LIVING
Figure out where you are living in the dorms.
FRIEND ADD
Basically, this is a really handy shortcut for adding and removing friends from your f-list. Instead of having to add/remove each journal individually, you can get the job done in one fell swoop. Check back often as we add more players.
INTRODUCTORY MUN POST
The format for this is in the link above. To do this, click post at the top of this page and change post to: to ncorpooc
INTRODUCTORY CHARACTER POST
Prose Post Format can be seen here. Action Post Format is here. BBS Format, here. A good tip for getting started would be to do an introductory post to your division. Do what we would call a "First day scenario" post. Etc.
Another way to start is to just hop in the most current event. These can be found on the main page and will say [### Event], and/or have an !event tag.
CREATE A HMD POST
HMD (How's my Driving) posts are very important in building a strong RPer as we don't always get honest feedback from our fellow muns. Please post one on your journal and allow anonymous posting (or not, up to you). (example)
TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEBSITE
This is where most of the media in the site is located and is also the place in which you can connect to the chat. Check it out, it's pretty cool!
JOIN US IN THE LIVE CHAT!
Joining the chat is not mandatory, but most days in the chat you will find a good number of members meeting there to chat and plot. Also, people who use the chat usually have higher rates of RP as they are able to set up logs more easily with other muns. Besides, its a fun and easy way to get to know your fellow muns! Come on in, we are waiting for you!
