Speaking of Unofficial Caption Contests, I strongly suggest participating in them as well as spending a little time in the Chit-Chat subforum. It's a great place to help with putting usernames to personalities and start learning who's who. HOWEVER, there is a difference in posting style between Chit-Chat and the rest of ChiefDelphi. I certainly don't endorse lazy typing and lack of punctuation, but Chit-Chat is less likely to berate someone for it and is a good "transition forum" that teaches new users what kind of behavior is expected here.

Also, make friends! We only bite if someone hasn't read the rulebook. Private Messages (PMs -accessible via the blue link in the gray box on the top right corner of the page, under the "Welcome, [username]" and the date and time of your last visit) are great ways to continue a two-person discussion with a little more wiggle room, or talk about anything from robots to shoes. Making friends is fun and useful in the long run, and I'm not just talking about alliance selection.

Generally speaking, if you are friendly, the community will be friendly back. Likewise, if you are not friendly, we will try our best to help you adjust your attitude, but there needs to be some degree of cooperation on both ends of the stick.




(side note: I was surprised to find myself on the second page of the memberlist when sorted by rep. I didn't think I was that cool yet.)
