There's been some confusion over how to actually register for the forum so I'm going to put some (hopefully) super-clear instructions here. Please do tell me if they're not!
In the role PMs, players were given the following info:
How to Register
In order to sign up, head to the site and hit ""Register"" in the upper right. Make your account, using your elementscommunity username.
Once that is done, find the icon in the lower right of the site that resembles the following:
Click that to access the account switcher. Here, make one account for your home faction and one account for each faction that you're Spying in. Note that the site does not initially allow capital letters in your username, however you can change your display name at any time via the profile editor.
Respond to this PM with your username for each faction and I will grant access to your faction discussion boards. |
I'll now go through this step-by-step.
1. Navigate to
http://pipeworks.boards.net.
2. Click Register in the upper-right and make a new account.
This account
should (but doesn't have to be) your elementscommunity username. This is so I can identify you. You
won't be using the username you enter here for any faction discussion. You will have to enter your email address to create this account.
You're about to create another sub-account for each faction you're in. The account you just created acts as a "host account" to contain these other accounts.
The host account is an account on
https://www.proboards.com and will be used for any forums that use the Proboard software. Of course, if you already have a Proboard account, you should log into that.
The accounts you're about to create are only for
http://pipeworks.boards.net. They're not full accounts on the website; they're only for the Pipeworks forum.
3. Click the icon in the lower left of the site to access the account switcher and create a new account. You can use any username you like, but it doesn't like capital letters for some reason. Of course, the forum can only use a username once, so trying to use a username that you've already entered (such as your elementscommunity username in step 2) won't work.
4. Repeat step 3 for each faction you're Spying in. If you're not Spying, you get to skip this step.
5. PM the hosts on elementscommunity.org to tell us what usernames you made, and which factions you'd like to use them for.
For example:
I make an account on proboards.com called "CleanOnion".
Let's say I'm a Medic spying on the Lords. I access the account switcher and make a new account "antiantivaxxer" for my Medics account.
Then I create another account for the Lords, and I call it "ruleroftheworld2017".
If I want, I can head to my profile on each account and change the usernames to add capital letters.
Then I PM the hosts of the game to tell them the usernames I have chosen.
ImportantIf you want, you can use your main account for one of your factions. However, each username you create can only be used for one faction. If you have access to two factions, you'll have to use a different username for each.
I've added a poll to this thread - should we just go back to titanpad?
I've also extended the pre-Round 1 grace period by one day.
Please PM or post any questions you have. Thank you!
