Okay, this is the only newbie pack I could find. I updated it some, but it is in essence the same.
Your FREE Newbie pack, created by Tui, expanded by Ella, and edited by Amber:
-1 get-away-from-Aurora Free ticket
-1 virtual muffin (banana chocolate chip or other on request)
-2 warnings
-Several pieces of helpful advice
First Warning: Do not, on ANY account, call the person whose username ismarniebrown1 marnie, Marnie, Marnie Brown, marniebrown, or any variation thereof. Call her Agent M, or M. Violations of this rule could result in grave injury. You've been warned.
Second Warning: don't mess with Aurora. don't fight with Aurora. Don't do anything that will lead people to call in Aurora. She's dangerous. Simple ways to avoid being hurt by Aurora: Don't diss anime/manga. don't call M*********** well... you know what I mean. Be polite about her friends- actually, this should go without saying: be polite and respectful of everyone. Other than that, though, you should be fine...she's much mellower now than she used to be.
Helpful advice:
Do not expect to retain your sanity if you visit at all regularly. It just doesn't happen.
Don't expect to stay on topic. As can be noted in any given post, even posts with the most on-topic intentions crumble into miscellaneous in-jokes and Chatter after a while.
Obviously most of these boards are dedicated to the books, as most of its members are, but Chatter II and The Topic of Great Randomness--a topic that Ella started but then got so big that it got its own forum--are for the random, non-Young Wizards chat stuff. We ask that it stays there. Also, it's a big thing around here, but DD herself pays for these posts, so please please please THINK before you write. No one-line posts, or, (God forbid!) one-WORD posts. But I'm sure that'll be no problem.
Note spelling. Many of us are spelling and grammar freaks; misspellings drive us nuts. We can deal with them, but PLEASE capitalise your "I"s? Please? We also prefer that people don't use netspeak, if you can avoid it.
Beware. Sometimes we talk in other languages. You WILL pick up at least two words of Japanese (bishounen, which means pretty boy, and kawaii, which means cute, are the most common offenders.) We also break into French and Spanish when we're bored.
You may hear something about the Evil Bunny Avatar. DON'T listen. The bunny is papercrane's avatar, and it's KAWAII! Very Kawaii! It's the KBA!
Most of us are Americans, but we've got quite a few nationalities around here, and obviously quite a few belief systems. R-E-S-P-E-C-T is the ultimate. And, of course, being insane and having fun--because all of us are friends.
Questions? Ask. If any of this sounds intimidating, which I hope it doesn't, it's not representative of the forums. We like new people, and not just in roasts.
The White Forest (http://www.avidgamers.com/whiteforest/) is a popular RPG around here; it's an especially good way to get to know other members fast.
