New Member Guide

First of all, congratulations on becoming a Filly! The first thing you should do is make a wiki account. It'll allow you to participate in the community, and some things like claiming land for new towns require you to have a wiki account to do.

Helping Others
In game, you might want to start out in Halcyon by finding somepony else that needs help, or take up any projects that Admins give out. Helping others will put you in a good spot for promotion. Of course, you need to show that you're skilled enough to earn your promotion, but being a good member of the community always helps.

Remember, everything you build will be put under a quality-control filter by OPonies and Admins, so make everything you do your best work. If you feel that your building could be better, be sure to stop by the Ultimate Material and Appliance Department or ask for the help of somepony better than you.

Starting a Town
If you want to make your own town, head to the Claims article, but make sure you don't start something that you might not want to finish, or it'll just be a waste of time. Try to come up with a general material palatte and building style, and lore to connect it to other towns in the area. Also, make sure it doesn't stick out as being out of place, because that's one of the things we specifically try to avoid. If you haven't, read up on Halcyon to find the best place for your town.

If your town gets accepted, write a new article under the title City:{Cityname}. Fill it in with your lore/history, and when you can, add pictures. Make sure to include: Founder (that's you), Date Founded, Contributors, and your lore.
