The EoFF Handbook

I will talk about Joel all I want!
Not to the newbies you won't.
I have before and I will continue. Kane on the other hand is just no fun anymore.
But it should be noted my talking of Joel is out of love. I think I'm one of a very few EoFFers who he continued to have contact with years after he was gone.
Start posting Handbook stuff, goshdangit.
My advice for a successful eoff life is:
Don't be like Bert.
and you get back to enertaining me with you choose your own adventure threadit's the best thing I've seen on eoff in like 8 years!
Don't ask Wes for photos. Seriously. Don't.
Don't be afraid to get involved with events. They're fun! Promise.
- DO develop your own unique personality that people will remember you for.
- DO create a signature and avatar set, to further identify you in the populace
- DO get involved with major events. This is perhaps the best way to really present yourself to the general active populace
- DO get involved with chat. While I was initially wary of chat at first, keeping at least a cursory presence in chat is highly recommended. It's an awesome way to get to know your fellow EoFFers.
- DO buddy up with an EoFFer or two as your main 'gatekeepers' while you get comfortable in the environment. These friends can really get you involved, offering tips, advice and sometimes a gentle nagging to get involved with events!
- DO follow the rules. Common sense really, but you don't want to get *snipped* or worse!
- DO be supportive of the staff and site leaders. Tell them their doing a good job, and try and read any articles and comment on them. Keeping staff in your good books is always a good idea. Still, feel free to gently rib them: jokes about drunk BoB always go down well.
- DO enter EoEo, but be aware not to offend anyone, if at all possible. Some of our newbies really found fame in EoEo, including Yerushalmi whose nominations for the objectively objective Ciddie was based partly on his precise nature of debating in EoEo. Do try to enjoy EoEo, although I am aware it may not be for everyone.
- DON'T be disheartened if you aren't nominated for anything/hardly anything during your first Ciddies. There's always so many good new members and to simply be recognised and nominated for an award is always a welcome sight. Don't be disheartened if you don't win Best Newbie either: keep up the good work guys and your time will come to win a Ciddie!
- DON'T break the signature rules. There has been a spate of *snipped* signatures lately. Don't make yours the next!
- DON'T get banned. But of course
I can probably think of more, but yeah, that's what I'd say.
- DO mostly always ignore me.
Seriously.
While I am The Wise One, that only happens IRL. Not online. Most everything I say online makes no kinda sense whatsoever.
DON'T post a link to a picture of a penis.

Apparently, I have been declared banished.
