First of all, welcome if you're a member; secondly if you're a guest do consider joining! What/who/why are we! Well, we are the forum for the region on NationStates called the Hellenic Civilazation This forum exists to give members of this region a chance to get involved in role playing as their nation; taking the principle of the individual choosing the outcome of affairs in a fictional country as one does in NationStates, a little bit further. We also have a good environment for NSers to have a good chat! Getting around the forum! Well first of all you log in and out using the bar at the top. Moving right you'll find your personal forum email account, and the option to change your profile picure, avatar, as well as signature in preferences. Moving down we have a nice big banner that will always take you back to the home screen when clicked. Back on the home page you'll find a range of fourms to click on, as well as some quick links (the sepia images at the top) Click on the forums to see the whole thing; or you can just skip to the latest post! Finally at the bottom of the home page is a shoutbox, for region wider messages, and also an active users list When making a reply you change the appearance of it using BB Code, more info here Different sections in the forum and what they're for! History; This is where we decide what happened in our world! Maps; To add a geopolitical aspect to our world The HC; Our UN, on hold till we have a few more members! RP; Our Roleplaying section. We need to get factbooks up and running as well as a brief history before this can be realistic and plausible; bare with us! National News; Brief updates about current affairs in your nation, again, on hold! Factbooks; Post here a brief overview of your nation; include some historic and present day details! See some others for inspiration What to do as a member! First Introduce yourself! Make it clear if you're here to get involved in nation RP, or want to just be here to stay in the OOC loop! Note your nations doesn't have to be ICly the same as the one in NS, though it can be! Then go to the map and choose a country, if you intend to do anything historical or political. Get involved in some history Finally build a factbook, this is a good example Language: On the forums people often use abbreviations. A lot of them can be googled, or here are a few important ones! Thread = A collection of posts in a subforum which relate to the same topic Posts = Posts within threads PM = Personal Message (Inbox) IC = In Character (As your nation) OOC = Out of Character (As you!) RL = Real Life WIP = Work in Progress NCA = Our UN Open = Anyone can post in this thread Closed = PM thread starter before posting (or don’t at all!) Historic = An RP set in the past Factbook = Summary of your nation’s history; peoples; climate and anything else you want! RP = Role play, the art of assuming a character (or entire nation) and acting in certain scenarios Edited by Kalluti, Jun 29 2011, 08:20 PM.
