Welcome to Eternity! I'm assuming you're new, 'cause helping them n00bs (or newbies, if you wanna be politically correct) is the entire point of this guide! So, let's get moving.
Membership
As mentioned in multiple locations by now, Eternity isa role-play community. Not so much pretend-government, but fictional worlds where we can romp around pretending to be things we're not. It's fun, I swear. To participate fully in this community, you needa be considered a Member. To receive those honors, just head on over to this thread and copy+paste+fill the form available in the first post. Pretty easy and, unless we believe you're /really/ a terrorist, you'll likely make it through without much trouble.
Introduction
After you've signed in as something, you must start a thread and introduce yourself in the Twilight's Portal forum. Not only does it give us a place to chat lightly and feel each other out, but it is also required for background stuff to give you full posting privileges.
Following that, you should read over the general Community Etiquette practices and SMTRP Rules.
Chatango
Our community uses a chat system (Chatango) available at the bottom of every forum page. It gives us a place to laugh together, bolstering the camaraderie and uniting us under his Chief Administratorship, Ayzek (may he live forever). It is independent from the forums. You're encouraged to create an account, to save yourself some trouble every time you pop by. This can be done fairly easily by clicking the "Sign up" button in the log in screen that appears after your first attempt to say something or if you press the "Set name" button below the text box.
After making an account and posting something to the chat system, you should click on the text-bubble image under the text-box (see right). That'll take you to your private chat page on Chatango's system. Under Account->Settings you should ensure that "Show my profile in Meet People" is unchecked to ensure you're not messaged by weirdos. I mean stranger weirdos, which are a thing on the Internet. Not everyone is bad, mind, but some people can be pretty odd. This is just advice, however, and you're certainly free to chat with strangers. Just don't blame me.
