HELLO GUYS AND GALS!!!
Welcome back to RACEWARS!! Whether your old or new, we hope you all have a good time and remember, this is for FUN!! We are all here due to our love for the FAST AND FURIOUS franchise so lets make this a cool environment for everyone to relax in!
A few things to start us off as I'm sure you've all noticed the new layout.
1. We have a new setting! Our timelines is after To Fast, To Furious and set in an AU SETTING! We highly recommend you taking a look around and checking out some of the past plots. The last summary before we took a hiatus can be found HERE but we have added to it with Brian having been killed in the byplay.
We are now set in MONTE CARLE, MONACO, six months forward from his death. Currently, the "family" is set up boosting rare cars and they have a nightclub from which they run business called Club Nitro. This is a co-owned business purchased with the money obtained by Jack, Piper and Tessa from a usb device that held account listings for one of the mob heads back in the states.
2. We also have a new crew in progress! The idea is to combine the two and have them work together in the near future and to offer more options to people since there can only be so many in the Toretto crew! You can find a site canon listing for those people HERE. We also have other movie canons available to those who might want to play them so if you have one in mind that isnt' listed, just give a holler!
3. You might notice we have a cool little mini profile thing for you all to fill in!! The avatar size is 200 x 300 and the gif MUST BE 200 x 100 as it will NOT resize on its own. Please feel free to holler if you have problems and one of us would be glad to help you out!!
4. To the side of the site, you will see a bar that says RACEWARS THREAD TAG BOX. You might wonder what this is. Its simply a place to help us keep track of threads and help players know when they are up. Its pretty simple. Just write TAG to whomever you are wanting to reply and then the AREA in which the thread is in and follow it with the link to the thread. If its an open thread just tag it as OPEN. Again, if you have any troubles, please let one of the staff members know!!
5. You will also notice that we now have an IC LINK! This is for approved characters to kick muses around in a bit of fun play. Its not technically part of the board timeline unless all characters agree on it but just a fun way to get your muse going or pass a bit of time if you don't' feel like writing. Its a privilege so please do not abuse it! You MUST keep up with your threads or you will be banned from playing in IC if its all you do!
6. Once you are accepted, you also have the option of what group you'd like to be shown as. You'll need to go into your profile area and hit edit. Then, click on settings and at the bottom, you'll see a drop down box in which you can select what you want to show you as group wise on the board. We recommend you setting it to whatever your main group is.
For Example:
Dominic Toretto would select Torettos Crew.
Other than this, you should be pretty much ready to go! PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE COMMON COURTESY IN THE CBOXS! We are all here to have fun and we want to make it relaxing for everyone. Any inappropriate behavior will lead to a warning but could lead to being banned from the chatter box if it continues. Use common sense when talking and keep it light!
Again, welcome to Racewars and please feel free to contact any of the staff with any questions you might have!!
