We’d like to welcome all newcomers to Marvel: What If? and thank you
for your support and interest. I know a new room can be overwhelming, definitely,
so I decided to offer a few tips and pointers for getting started.
- Read the homepage. I know it may seem a little overwhelming, but odds are
you can find someone in the room willing to help out if you have a question,
and the staff e-mail addresses are on the staff page– don’t hesitate to ask!
:) - Read the forum. There’s generally a lot going on ICly, and it’s best to
familiarize yourself with room events to get a feel for the pace of things
in MWI. - Read the Character Creation Rules and Application Page. These will help
you figure out how to do your character’s stats (especially if you use the
Albert’s MSHAG guide linked from the App Page), as well as help figure out
the best way to get your C into the room and involved. - If you’re interested in a canon character, make sure the C isn’t taken,
then post a C Info Request to the appropriate
Forum thread (with the name of the C as the post title), for your
character may have been previously played, and may have existing connections to current Cs. This is especially important for relatives/romantic partners of existing Cs. - The rosters are being updated, so if you aren’t certain about the status
or availability of a certain C, feel free to ask about it, either in e-mail
to a staffer or even a general post in-room. - Again, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Most people in MWI, I’ve found, won’t
bite. Unless you ask nicely. :P - Oh, and we ask that your taglines not be obnoxiously long. It’s generally
a good indicator when your tags are consistently longer than your post. Thanks!
