NewPlayerGuide

This section is essentially the index, or table of contents, and is intended to guide completely new players through the ins and outs of getting a character and roleplaying on Transformers: 2005. A completely new player who has never MUSHed before may find it most useful to just start at the beginning and go in order. Other sections are useful for experienced MUSHers applying to 2k5 for the first time, or to players apping their first OC. Each section is marked by what players are most likely to find it useful. Please be aware that this is a work in progress, and not every section has been completed yet.


 * Connecting - How to connect and log in as a guest, including our address and port number as well as some links to MUSH clients, or specially designed programs that make MUSHing easier and nicer than raw telnet does. You have to manage this step before you can do anything else!


 * Help, +help, and news basics - The bare-bones basic MUSH commands you'll need to learn to communicate and to figure out your way around. If you've MUSHed before, you can skip this section.


 * Pre-App Rules - It's useful to know the basic rules of a game before one joins, to make sure they're agreeable to the player. We'll leave the combat rules for when you've got a character. Some of what's here, you'll need to know before you even write up your application. Suggested for all new 2k5 players, whether they've MUSHed before or not.


 * Theme Basics - While a general grasp of the theme is important to roleplay in the 2k5 setting, 'theme' also includes the entirety of the game's history from day one, including any number of specifics and details that aren't essential for the first time apper. Here, we attempt to go into the [i]need to know[/i] only. Suggested for all 2k5 new players.


 * Applying - How to apply, where to send the application, where to get the application, and, if you're playing an Original Character, what further information you need to know in order to create your character. Recommended for all new 2k5 players, or current players apping OCs for the first time under the new combat system.
