Hello and welcome to the Initiative! We are here to help you RP! From talking about roleplay to advertising your site to helping you find the right Faceclaim/Playby for your character, guides and more! We are here to help and we know that a new site with new people can get overwhelming so we're happy to show you around. To start off your journey we'd like to make sure that you're comfortable with our layout! We offer both a dark and light layout. You can choose which version you like by doing the following: Look in the top right (near your username is) Click the the image that looks like this The site will reload to the light theme! Click it again to switch back. The other thing you can change is the forum (general site) layout from the grid format to a traditional list view. To do this go to the main forum page. At the top next to the "Start a new topic" button there are three buttons: - this button will switch the layout to the traditional forum list. - this button is default and will provide you with the grid layout. - thus button is the fluid view. This means that all topics will be listed, rather than you having to visit each forum. You can filter what forum topics you see by clicking on the relevant forums on the right hand side. Click on the forums you want to see! Now lets complete the profile! You can also follow this awesome tutorial it explains how to complete your profile. All settled? Now lets get you integrated into the community! We recommend taking a few moments and introduce yourself. Not sure what to say? That's okay! We offer up some questions for you to fill out in case you are stumped! Now you will have welcomes from members around the site! Want to join our discord community? The easiest way for you to do this is through the Discord integration. To do this: Go to your account settings. Click on discord account. Click on link your discord account. Approve everything and you're good to go! Not comfortable with linking your account to your discord? No worries! Click on the discord icon in the footer. Go the name change channel and post there with a link to your account. Wait for a staff member to change your role, granting you the ability to post in the other channels. It's a lot easier on all if you use the discord integration tool. This link does not give us or anyone else any extra information about your account, any additional access to your discord account, or any additional control over your discord account. Nor are you revoking any control or privacy that you would normally have. Next up, do you want to give us some of your insight or maybe you'd rather just confess some awesome roleplay stuff with us? Head on over to the Chat & Discussion or the RPG Confessions and tell us! Are you here to add your site to the directory? Awesome! Once you have posted around the site and earned 10 content items (this includes gallery images, guides, playbys/faceclaims, posting in the wanted section and more!) you are able to go post in our intuitive directory. In here you will be able to choose how people can find your site with the ease of filters. The filters themselves help other members find sites that they may never have considered in the past as being part of what they were looking for! It helps give all sites a lot more exposure as we don't hide the sites behind categories! We hope this helped you and that you are feeling confident about being a part of this site! We love that you're here! If you're looking how to change other site specific items, like notifications, then check out our other "Initiative Guides" here. If you have other questions feel free to ask in the Ask Us forum or Staff Contact Center we'll be happy to help you!
