uh... Hi everyone

[cernik]

I've been going to this site ever since I saw a Zero Punctuation review on G4, so I figured I should at least make an account,
so if you guys don't mind telling me the basic stuff I need to know about the site that would be great, like what to say and what NOT to say etc, thanks

Hello and welcome to the Escapist.
One thing to NOT do on this forum is troll, mainly because the entire Escapist community will tear you a new one. Enjoy your stay here, good day sir.

WHY HELLO there.

What's your favorite color? Mine's burgundy.

Hello and welcome to The Escapist!

Please keep your hands and feet inside the car at all times and please, please, PLEASE do not feed the Hasselhoff. He and his talking car may mistake your hand for food.

 

[Omikron009]

Read the instruction manual. And I also discovered the escapist through ZP.

Before you post look long and hard at the screen and think "Will this spread good energy or bad energy throughout the forums?"

Don't tell people what we are. If you do the white van with bars on the rear windows will come and take you away for a month.

Good evening/morning/afternoon wherever you may be, good sir/madam.

Try not to troll, keep your head down in potential flame war situations and enjoy your stay.

 

[A random person]

Do not make threads on capital punishment, Twilight, Halo, or anything like that that's potential flame bait. Also, not outright taboos, but be careful when mentioning anime or JRPG's, especially the latter. As for the former, I'll get quite psycho if it's bashed, which it is. I am not alone in that.

Oh, and this is obvious, but don't troll, and be nice to other users.

Hello!

Give me a second and I'll give you some dos and donts

Welcome

The best thing you could do to know the "no-no's" is to read the forum guidelines http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.116826

Enjoy your stay, this is one of the last semi-sane forums on the web P

Welcome friend, you have chosen, or have been chosen to join our community!
A couple of more things I shall add.
no vs threads,
we're not your personnel army,

respect everyone's opinion though you don't have to abide by it,

keep in mind the discussion a topic will make before you make it

keep the bad grammar to a dull roar (tough we will happily point out mistakes as our custom)

all game references are welcome

keep threads in their respected forums

don't repeat threads at least until the original thread is a couple of months old

I look forward to our new addition to our large family here on the escapist.

I am IdealistCommi, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No" Says the man at Ebay, "it belongs to the poor". "No" says the Man at religioustolerance.org, "it belongs to God". "No" says the man at Youtube, "it belongs to everyone". I rejected those answers. Instead; I chose something different. I chose the Impossible. I chose. The Escapist. With a forum where the opinionated would not fear the censor (within reason), where the Moderators would not be bound by petty morality, where the Gone Gonzo would not be constrained by the troll. And with the ache of your fingers (and perhaps a new keyboard), The Escapist can be yours as well...

Welcome. Follow the rules

and obey this person unquestionably
