ouijababe Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Okay, so, hey everyone! This post probably wont be very pretty until I get used to the coding of this site. I stumbled across this site when I started to get interested in RP again. Unfortunately, my older sites weren't very fun anymore so I had to find a some new ones. And here I am! If I'm being honest, I'm rather intimidated. I'm a veteran of chickensmoothie.com (if anyone here has ever been there) but this site is different enough to make me uncomfortable. Not in a bad way though! I'm excited to get back into the RP scene Anyways! I'd really love if anyone could give me the rundown of how this place works and how I can get started having fun I would also love to know if any of the coding from ChickenSmoothie translates here in any way. Or if there is a way I can get it to~ Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks so much to anyone who reads this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahoot Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Welcome to Canterlot.com! I am Kahoot I am more than positive you will enjoy your stay, to start off of course... You should probably read the site guidelines and protocols of RP before getting started. The rules are easy to follow and simply a way to allow everyone to have fun. Now, anypony is allowed to post a thread in the Free For All section without making a character application... This is where things may seem a bit confusing, but do not fret! A character application is basically a description of your OC or a character you would like to use in the World of Equestria forum. In fact, they're not at all hard to make, here is a guide on how to make one and here is an example of one (As you can see in the comments of my thread, a Senior RP Staff or Moderator put an approval message, this is when you know you're all set for RP fun in the WoE section). As you can see, under your profile image it says "Member", once it says "RP Certified" like under my profile image, that is when you know you're set and ready to RP in the WoE section as well. Also! It may take a day or two for you to become RP Certified, for me, it took a bit longer and if you've been waiting a while, don't hesitate to contact staff... They're really nice and helpful! Free For All- You do not need an approved application or be RP Certified, your OC can be anything you like... From an alicorn to some weird hybrid of a monster... It's all up to you! World of Equestria- Your character has to be more realistic, here are some examples of animals your OC may be... Staff may ask for you to change a few things before they can approve it. If you want to use a pony or animal from the actual MLP show itself, you will also need to make an application for them... Here is a list of cast members from the show! Crossovers- Want your pony in a video game, anime, show? Look no further! For here is where your pony can live in Narnia, maybe even the land of Ooo? Anything! Multiverse- Basically a place for Alternate Universe's. Out of Character Discussion- Now, they're two of these... One for the Free For All forum and one for WoE forum. Here, you can plan out your RP's, it's a great tool if there is more than you and another pony! Don't forget to title for RP's with Open (If you're still welcoming more players), Closed (If you're no longer welcoming anyone else), Ask to Join (If someone would like to join, this title tells them to contact you for permission), or Sign up in OOC (This directs an interested pony to go to your thread in the Out of Character section to sign up... This basically means they will provide a description of the OC or character they would like to use... This is good for long-term RP's with a lot of players) Now I know, this may seem really complicated but it isn't once you get the hang of it! I went through this process myself and now everything is going by like a piece of cake I noticed you already have characters chosen for your character slot (Faded Flaw, Royal Rocker, and Prismatic Night), you will need to make an application for them if you would like to use them in WoE as I stated above, although, you can freely use them in the Free For All forum without them being approved. If you still feel lost about a certain forum, there is a description in small letters underneath the title! You can make a character log to hold all your OC's and playable cast members, here is an example. Character sheets are the Free For All version of a character application, here is an example. Hopefully, I cleared up most things... If you're still lost, simply ask for help! I am more than happy to help a fellow member out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouijababe Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks so much for all your help! You've actually cleared up the bulk of my confusion quite well It seems a lot of what this site has to offer is very similar to the sites I am familiar with. I look forward to getting my OC form up and ready for approval!! Again, Thank you for your explanations and willingness to help a newbie like me out!

TwistedBrew Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I am clearly just a tad late to the party! But, welcome to Canterlot. As said before, this can be a pretty place, as long as you can find your way around. Don't worry though, I've been here a while and I still get lost. I like to blame my confusion on the unicorns... Anyway, it's nice to have you here! Looking forward to seeing you around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
