Ave, just a few questions...

I can't put pictures in my signature. I see others with pic's in theirs but when I try it says something along the lines of Cannot post external website address's. Is their anyway to do it?

I can post anywhere outside the Entrance hall, I assume thats because im a Junior Member, correct? How does the promotion work.

What exactly is PBM? That topic confused me a little.

You have to host it withe imageshack or photobucket.

You can post in all the TW related forums. MTW, RTW, M2TW, and STW. I know you won't be able to post in the off-topic forums until your a member.

Play by e-mail. It's usually when a group of people decide to play a TW game campaign as a certain faction. Someone else should be able to explain it better than me.

You won't be able to use signatures until your a member as well...as for promotion to member i'll just qoute for you from The Guild FAQ

Promotion to Member
Promotion to Member is based on participation, conduct and contributions in your posts. Quantity of posts doesn't matter - you could be promoted on the basis of one amazing post, although just showing the ability to interact with the membership in a helpful and polite manner is easily sufficient. In other words, you don't need to do something special, just enjoy yourself whilst following the Forum Rules above. Introducing yourself (if you have not already done so) in the HAIL New Members! (Introductions) III thread doesn't hurt either!

Promotions are handled manually by the Guild Staff, and are generally done en masse. So as a very quick rule of thumb: if you've been here for a couple of weeks and been posting reasonably regularly during that time, you should be promoted to Member.

In any case, the staff will always try to help you if they can. If you feel perhaps that you've been mistakenly overlooked (as does happen on occasion), your best bet is to either PM TosaInu or Ser Clegane and explain your situation.

PBM is play by e-mail. It means one player starts a campaign as a ceratin faction, and the savegame is passed about other players so everyone gets to play a bit. 2 types:

1 When every player picks a general in game to role play. Player elect a leader every x years and that player is the one who actually does the playing for his time in office. However, whenever someones avatar general fights a battle, the save game is sent to that general and he fights the battle before sending the savegame back to the elected leader.

2 A One player starts the campaign and plays until the faction leader dies. Then he sends the savegame to someone else, who plays until the next leader dies.
B Same as above, but the players each play a set number of turns instead of the leader's life.

To read a complete definition, check out the Throne Room, a forum dedicated to the art of PBMing or look at the Org newspaper, posted on the top of this forum, the entrance hall.

PS vorenus... you an HBO Rome Fan? I am also, shame they ended it. Though I did read that the lost 30 million dollars on it, what with paying to film in Italy and all the sets and costumes. shame
