Welcome to the place that is highly likely to consume your very being for the next few years of your life. Trust me, if you let it, it becomes more than just a distraction ;) 
Anyway, if you want a general idea of how things work around here, [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/4958/posts/ooc]this[/url] is probably a good place to start, as well as getting in touch with any moderators or just random people you see about the place, they're always more than willing to help. I guess the best thing you can do is get stuck in because [s]yolo[/s] carpe diem. Feel free to hit me up with any questions you have, or if you want general conversation or... yeah. Things like that.

(Look at me guys, i'm being helpful. Wheeee!)
