CloseHi! I'm IcyJK913 and I like RPGs a lot. I was once on this other PRGmakervx.net (I think that's what it was) forum and now I can't find it??? I don't know if it was deleted or something, but oh well, now I'm here. :)
This seems like a nice community, and I've never really been active on any forum and all of the forums I'm registered on either have the nooby members and members everyone knows about, so that the nooby threads are just ignored while the popular threads are the ones everyone goes too. I also like small communities, and this looks smaller than other forums I've seen. I mean no offense in that, in fact, take that as a compliment.
I'm usually not active on forums, but I'll try to be on this one, because, why not? I'm pretty nice and have good manners but once you cross that line the gauntlet will be thrown down, though I'm sure that's the same with everyone. I'm pretty awkward and I often take jokes about me as offensive :(
So, hopefully everyone welcomes me with open arms. :D
The girl in the picture is NOT ME! She is Miranda Sings, a fantastic comedian.

This is obviously a nooby topic so obviously I am going to stay away. I ignore anyone with less than 10,000 forum posts.

Well... aren't you a lovely one
Kentona is just fucking with you, he owns the site and is actually a really nice guy.
Welcome to the community. Do you develop games, or are you just a reviewer, or maybe even just a player? Either way, I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Pretty much all. :) I'm more of a game developer though, but I have trouble getting ideas out of my head and onto paper. So, I have all these great ideas lodged in my head, but because I can't really explain myself well and can't draw or anything, it can never come out and they remain there, dormant. Yeah, I'm over exaggerating a little bit. My strong point is Music, mainly, and puzzle/level design, and math is my best subject, though I know nothing about programming, which math applies quite a lot to. I'm also pretty good with linguistics, so if you want a fictional language for your game, I can help with that. I'm also pretty good at plot development and I believe that games should have some literary value to them, like having "figurative language" per se and strong symbolism.

Imagine her embarrassment when she realizes reported posts get sent to me!
He was poking a bit of fun. We don't have forum post counts (except in the monthly stat round-up... speaking of which, bossman...~) just MakerScore (which is so much better!)
Here's a few things you might like to know about the site to help you ease in a little better. ^.^
- Square bracket html tags are usable. We do have the handy-dandy shortcut bar for each post, but you're not limited to the stuff there.
- The black bar at the very top of the page is OMG helpful. Hovering over each thing there will show more options. Explore~
- Games/Development/Events/Community/Store headers all have drop-down menus but clicking on each will take you to their respective areas which have a lot of information too.
- You can change your thread headings using the button at the bottom of the page.
- When you post you'll see buttons on your and other peoples' posts. Edit allows you to change your post (a lot of people miss that for some reason), Save allows you to keep posts in your subscription area (something like a Favourite Posts option), Quote will quote posts and you can quote more than one post at a time just by hitting the button on all the posts you want to quote. Report is for when someone breaks the rules. It will send a report to mods/admin and they'll take care of it.
- RMN is pretty laid-back when it comes to bickering. We take the approach that most here are of a mature enough age to be able to discuss things without getting over-heated. Swearing is allowed, for instance. Personal attacks, hate-speech and douchebaggery aren't, however, and such things should be reported.
- Check out the links in the footer for extra information about what is what.
- Makerscore (MS) is everything. We don't have post counts - the M under your name denotes the amount of MS you have which can only be gained by adding to the site. There's an article in the footer about it.
- To upload a game you hover over Submissions on the black bar at the top of the page and choose Submit Game. Read the instructions and fill in the 'form'. Don't forget three separate images~ Once that is done and you've submitted, it will go to the Submission Queue and get checked over to make sure it meets site standards (which are pretty easy to get past - you should have no issue there, just pick good screenshots). The mod there will either Accept or Deny. If accepted you can then add a file and mess around with the page, adding more images (well, you can already add more images from the get-go anyway), adding blogs, pages, media and the like. If it is denied you'll get a notice and be told what needs fixing for it to get past the queue. Just resubmit once it's fixed and it'll go back into the queue.
- Sorry if this is getting long.
- Admin and Mods have different name colours so they're easy to pick out. While in the forums they're people just having discussions like anyone else, but if they tell you to stop doing something, stop. Warnings are a thing, as are bans (though they're rarely permanent). Most people don't get physical warns as long as they behave - a lot of the time you'll just be told in-thread to stop something and only if you ignore it will you incur a warn. We're pretty laid back in most cases and are open to dialogue.
- Events will pop up. (There's one on now~) Joining them can help you garner MS and get your name known a bit more.
- Locker! Can't believe I forgot to mention locker! Under your name in the top bar there's a link to your locker, which is a place where you can upload any files that you need. You don't need to host game files or game images there (bar css stuff) as RMN will host them automatically when you upload (for game files, up to 400MB). Locker has a limit but you can increase that by getting more MS - the more MS you have the bigger your locker. Also, the little briefcase icon on the html bar in posts will open your locker so you can put an image there and then access it while posting. Neato~
- Status's exist but don't spam them. You can find them on the Community page (click Community).
- We have a tumblr, facebook and twitter account.
- Any questions, just ask. People are happy to answer.
- Screenshot thread is in the Game Discussion & Development forum.
- No memes and idiotic images outside of the Welp Forum. The Welp forum is great for just messing around in.
- We're not too hard on people when it comes to necroposting unless it's like, really old and you're not adding to whatever topic it was.
- Don't run with scissors. Seriously. I almost stabbed my brother doing that.
- We don't have signatures because they're rather obnoxious. Instead, you have a profile which you can tart up as you like (as long as there's nothing rule breaking like pornography). Some people put up images, some add stuff about their games, others show off neat quotes they've collected around the place. Personally I like those best~ You can find your profile if you hover over your name in the black bar at the top of the page and click on Edit Profile.
- Multiple posting in a row is frowned on unless there's a good reason for it. We allow it in certain topics like Mafia games and the like, but outside of the Welp forum it's a no-no. The only cases where it's allowed is if you've posted a help thread and haven't received an answer/reply for a few days or if you're updating an information/resource thread with a substantial update (but again, it's usually best to wait a day or two there as well).
- No advertising your game in the forums unless asked to do so in a topic. We have game pages for this.
- Titles are under your avatar. You'll notice some people have them. They can be unlocked by donating to the site, however that's not the only way to get one. If you make a funny/silly post and kentona notices it, he'll grant you that as a title. It's considered something of a small honour to get one like that.
- kentona is boss, just an fyi. Probably best not to argue with himtoo much.
- The Holy Lord Aremen sees all you do and judges accordingly. Fear Him. Love Him.
- You only need to hit a button once for it to generate a response. However, sometimes the site does do a lag or takes you to a 'there's a problem1!!' page. In the case of this happening, count to ten, then hit the back button. Copy the post you were going to make, then refresh the page - don't resend, refresh. If your post appears after the refresh (or if the site breaks again) then it's fine (or just wait a while before refreshing again). Otherwise, paste what you copied and try reposting. Usually people hit back then resend and it ends up making multiple posts. The most I've seen so far was about a page and a bit full (about 20-ish).
That said, welcome to RMN! Try not to take some people to heart - they're usually just pulling legs. In the case that they aren't or you can't tell, do feel free to report. We'll figure out what the issue is, but also keep in mind that we allow disagreements - as long as it's not aimed at you personally.

Kentona is just fucking with you, he owns the site and is actually a really nice guy.
Still, that was pretty mean and unnecessary, But I do forgive him.
I said in my post that I often take offense to jokes. Still, I thought something was up when he said that...
Btw that's not me in the gifs. That's Miranda Sings, a comedian.

Well to be honest reporting your own introduction topic is a great way to get (some) people (with coloured names) to look at your topic!

The joke was you complaining that other sites would ignore noob topics so naturally I had to pretend like at this site your new topic was being ignored, especially after your bump. The secondary joke is that I am the only one here with more than 10,000 posts, which implies I ignore everybody.
Welcome to RMN! Enjoy your stay!

OK I understand.
So
Cleaned up that double for ya~ (Sometimes they happen accidentally. Read that hidden stuff in my first post to find out more~~~)
Also, yeah as kentona pointed out, macros aren't encouraged and they're really only allowed in the Welp forum and even then they're seen as a bit obnoxious. They're seen as shitting up a thread so keep 'em to a low, okay? ^.^
