Ello all,
Jus a quick question for someone who hasn't really been involved with such a style of RP: how does one join the fray?

Here's a list: 
1. Look at the detailed Arena CS, a few good ones would be the vets. They already know what they are doing and have a good grasp of what should be required. Rilla, Skallagrim, MelonHead, Yoshua171, and a few others are considered vets or at least good examples. 
2. If you're wanting to join the points race, jiggle the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/79678-rpguild-ranking-headquarters/ooc]ranking headquarters[/url], if not don't worry about it. 
3. Grab a partner, and if you're not use to this style of competitive rping, I suggest requesting a vet to over view the match and possible help you learn. Though not sure how many will be able to help you as there is a tourney going on. 
4. A good transgression from pure rp style might be found in the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/84836-the-multiverse-arena/ooc]multiverse[/url] which will likely pick up over time when the tourney is over.
