If you have any additions you'd like to add to the blog, MT them to me!So you want to be an RCer?Okay, cool. Just start posting on topics, or make your own topic. It's literally that simple! No, you don't need to know anyone in RC, be a "veteran" player, or worry about invading "cliques". Literally we don't care about any of that stuff. It's always great to know a few faces in an unfamiliar situation, but we all have to start out somewhere. Don't stress if you think you're not getting a lot of responses. RC has a lot of hits and misses, even for the most active posters. It's all about timing.
The only thing I will say is this: don't spam emojis during "post here" challenges for site events. We have a sixth sense about this; we'll find you and shame you for making us click on alert that just has a :open_mouth: face.
If you're concerned with feeling lost or out of place because you don't know some of the lingo being thrown around, the rest of this blog will explain the most common stuff.
Abbreviations / Key Phrases / Inside jokesAtaf: an abbreviation of "staff", normally used followed with the abbreviation "pls". Expect to see this used when shade is thrown, or when referring to Ryan in general. Stemmed from Ryan actually misspelling the word staff.
: normally used right after someone says something that could be construed as rude to indicate it's not to be taken seriously. Or, if you're like me, just because it feels
so right to post it after every sentence
CB/FB/UA: abbreviations for chat ban, forum ban, and underaged, respectively.
Risquota / "quota met": posting a question/board about something and realizing you completely misread it and will now be doomed to an eternity of notifications and a lifetime of humiliation.
Ed's beard: one of the seven world's wonders, has a secret cult following. Will annoy Ed if you ask him to cut it off.
EPGB: an abbreviation for the Extra Pet Giftbox.
What makes it funny: I thought I was in the Giftbox shop and tried to find one to buy, but I was actually in the Missing Giftbox page and didn't realize it until I had made a board that had gotten 100+ replies.
