Welcome, to the SS Loony-boat Menasay! Glad to have have ya aboard.
If you haven't read
this and
this already , then I suggest that you do so because the information provided there is pretty useful !
There's also the SotE Wiki which can be found
here.And, finally , if you have any questions you may direct them to the admins : Rhi or Tally via PM OR you could post them
here. You may also post them in the c-box which is located at the very bottom of the forum's index page.
Don't sweat it though, you don't have to know everything. No one will bite your head off or anything since we're all a pretty friendly and laid-back here.
Anyway, that's about all I have to say. Again , welcome to SotE and I hope you enjoy your stay here (and also leave me some fishies to snack on because us sharks start noming on the c-box otherwise. )
Finally, in response to your comment about not being able to play your character because they are the ruler of a kingdom....where did you hear this from or read it ? Unless Rhi told you NO or the kingdom isn't one you created...then this is not true. You CAN play the leader of your own creations and you don't need permission to do this. However, RHI (the admin) has the right to tell you NO or that you need to make corrections at any time if , for whatever reason, your ideas just don't mesh well with the game. (To my knowledge though, this hasn't happened often.)
I haven't been a member for more than a year and I already play a prince of my own madeup kingdom myself. No one seems to mind.
Edit: Apologies. I copy and pasted part of a greeting I wrote for another new member. I edited the name to reflect yours. ;D
