Hi guys,
A SW Forum roleplay based community that I help moderate is unfortunately coming to a close and I am looking to get involved with another forum based roleplay, so I thought I would give this one a try and say hello!
Also,
Do you guys have any tips/tricks for getting into this forum roleplay as a sort of veteran writer but as an entirely new member?

Best advice I can give is don't suck.
Lol, I'm joking. Best thing to do is to read up on the rules and character creation templates to see what we expect. We have a few tiers of characters to go, So don't think you need to start way at the bottom. Do be mindful that if you try to jump straight to a Top tier character, you may be asked to do a lower tier to start so we can get a feel for your style and whether you can handle a top tier character responsibly. (Mind you from what you were saying, You are a veteran of RP so I hope you would know how to handle.)
If you have questions, We have the Cbox, we have the staff and gurus. They are friendly and more than up to the task of helping you out if you need some thoughts or direction.

Welcome to the site, oyubaat. It's always unfortunate when a game closes down, but it's good that you've kept your options open. I'm Cabel, the UNSC Guru. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll try to find a link for you, that might help with the character creation. If you haven't checked out the C-Box, feel free to as well. It should be located in the upper right corner of the forum. yappashalorpg.proboards.com/thread/12288/character-profile-template <-- This is for the Character Template. yappashalorpg.proboards.com/thread/8783/character-ship-tiers-guidelines-read <<-- This will help you get an idea for the different Tiers, and other information. I know it's a lot of information to read, but if you have any questions feel free to ask either here or on the C-Box. We're a helpful bunch, and someone should be able to help you out. The "playing" on here, on the Forum, is a bit different than on Discord or the like. Here, there isn't necessarily a posting order. You create a character, following the Template and after reading up on the Character Ship Tiers Guidelines. It'll help, trust me. The Higher the Tier, the more "vital or setting changing" the character is. Once you've filled out your character's Profile, with a History and RP Sample (it's daunting, but it gets easier), you'll want to submit it under the WIP section under the Site Workshop. It shouldn't take long, perhaps a few days or even less than that for one of the Staff to read over the profile to give some pointers and so on. After that, it'll be up to one of the Admins to Approve the Profile.

A wonderful and warm welcome, thank you guys!
Duly noted on the experience part David - I have dropped Llau and Wülf messages and both have been fantastic and just as warm in their welcomes. I intend to put up a profile soon for my character, and it's quite helpful that you've posted the template topic Cabel because I was freaking about what style to use! This forum has been a great read thus far and I look forward to getting into the mechanics and the story of the forum soon.
Last question
I have tried to drop you a PM Cabel but get an alert message saying that PM's are only possible in relation to messaging staff. If I need to get in touch with either you or another member of the com more directly, how would I go about it? (use the chatbox or?)

Welcome to the site Oyu - I'm Faclan one of the staff here and one of the main Covenant players . Cabel and Dave have already given you a lot of info and I believe Llau is looking into the PM thing so I'll just also say welcome to the site, and I hope you enjoy your time. Feel free to ask questions here, in the Cbox, or as you put it today in a thread. That'll make sure people who aren't on the Cbox at that moment can see and reply as well.
