A Begginers Guide to Rping or Warrior Terms

[.:Fallensnow:.]

Here are some commonly asked questions.....

Question- What is the time in the game compared to the time in real life?
Answer- One month of real life=one moon/or month in the game. However sometimes things have to be extended, so the RL month to IC season ratio is flexible.

Question- What does Ooc, IC, RL, etc stand for?
Answer-

Ooc=Out of character *refers to yourself as a member talking or doing something.*
IC=In character *refers to your character talking or doing something.*
RL=Real Life

Question- How do you make your cat talk in a certain color?
Answer- You do this by putting in a code. It is [color=insert hex code here]the cat talks[/color] So, it would look like this if a hex code was inserted, Greenpaw is talking.

Question- How do you find those Hex Codes?
Answer- Here. Also, you can find them by going into any art program and clicking on the color wheel.

Question- How did I just do that link?
Answer- Magic! Okay, not really. It is...
[URL=the url of the site]words here[/URL]

Question- How do I add a picture to my post?
Answer- It's similar to how you add links.
[img]url of the picture here[/img]
I suggest that you get yourself a photobucket account or some other image service so that you can upload pictures and keep them on file.

Question- How do I link a picture to something?
Answer- You put together the image and link codes like so....
[url=url of the page you want to link to][img]url of the picture here[/img][/url]

Question- How do you make a code box like I've been using this whole time?
Answer- Like this...
[code]put whatever coding you want here[*/code] ...just without the * there.

More will be added as questions come up.
