FAQ 1 - Just Started?

[The Narrator]

Welcome to Enchanted Entropy! Thank you for taking the time to read our Frequently Asked Questions {F.A.Q.} section. This section is designed to help our new members {{and our older members, if they forget}} navigate through the process of roleplaying and interacting with others on EE.

Remember, if your question isn't answered within one of these threads, please head on over to our Help Board and create a thread there; one of our forum staff will be along as soon as possible to answer your question.

Thanks again for reading the F.A.Q.! If you feel that something should be added, please don't hesitate to send one of the administrators a PM with what and where.

Q: Who created this site?
A: This site was created by Alana Teale and Kami Nagato. The site design was created by Kami [aka Ashikada Nanashi].

Q: Who are the staff members?
A: Right now, the staff consists only of Co-Administrators Alana Teale and Kami Nagato.

Q: I'm interested in becoming staff. How do I apply?
A: Thanks for your interest! If there is a staff position open for applications, an announcement will be made, and you may submit your application there. However, that does not guarantee a staff position, depending on the other applicants. We also might just approach a member we have in mind for the spot, depending on the situation.

Q: How do I get started? I want to roleplay!
A: Thanks for your interest! First of all, please read the Informational threads thoroughly, as well as the rest of this F.A.Q. section. Then, read the roleplay information for the site plot, available characters, etc. Then, write up and post your profile {{make sure it's completed before posting!}}, make your display name match, and hold on for a staff member to approve your profile.

Q: Great!....How will I know if my profile has been approved?
A: All profiles will receive a response from an administrator. If your profile has been approved, it will be moved from the "pending profiles" subboard, to the subboard reflecting your character's position on the forum [either "Student" or "Faculty"].

Q: Awesome. What do I do while I'm waiting?
A: That's entirely up to you. You can talk in the General board, or start another character profile. Or, you can do things on other sites. We're not picky.

Q: Do I have to roleplay?
A: Erm... yes, actually, you do. This is a roleplay site, after all. While there may be other out-of-character areas to post art, or other writing, or a general chat area, our main focus is role play.

Q: What if I'm new to roleplaying? Or what if I've never roleplayed before?
A: Hey, don't worry about it. We all had to start somewhere, right? If you're new at roleplaying, the only way you'll get better is if you practice. We're not going to tell you to not feel intimidated by those who are more experienced than you, but do try not to let it bother you too much. Instead, learn from the more 'veteran' players, ask them for tips {{but don't be offended by their responses if you do!}}, and observe their writing style. Soon, you'll be the one being asked!

Q: Okay, thanks! Can I have cake?
A: No, sorry; the cake is a lie. ='[

Q: Do I have to read the rest of the F.A.Q. threads?
A: Not really, aside from FAQ 4 which deals with Characters and Roleplaying. However, do realize that some of the finer "unspoken" rules // procedures of the forum // rules concerning characters will be covered in later F.A.Q. threads, so it's in your best interests to keep on reading.
