I'll skip the explanations and move right ahead to the presents... chocolate, Canadian maple syrup, and some C4. Use the latter sparingly. Thank you, and leave your sanity in the bucket at the door marked 'orc fodder'

Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, and please enjoy your stay!

Hai there,

Welcome!

Please accept this radioactive fish and this strange beeping shoe. I don't know why the shoe beeps, and I don't think I want to know. What I do know is that you should never let a cat get near it...

You're not the only non-native English speaker here. I'm Italian, but I still managed to get Permission, so don't worry. We are a caring community, so if you need help, there will surely be someone willing to give an hand.

And, have a folding car! It becomes a rather heavy case when not in use. Do not keep it near fragile objects, however. It has a nasty habit of unfolding when it shouldn't.

Do not feed it Sues.

Here, have a weapon of your choice (anything up to and NOT including flamethrowers) and this five-pound bag of assorted candy.

Don't worry about English not being your first language. Loads of people on here are willing to beta-read stuff, and they can help you fix most errors.

Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here.

Here, have this conical hat. It's made from tin foil to keep out the whatever.

Welcome, new friend!

Have a venomous arthropod! Don't worry, they bite.

As to your query about 'how it all works,' we just like to get to know the folks who hang around. So yeah, join discussions, comment on things other members write, join in when we're playing games...just generally have fun and be yourself, so we know who you are! I hope this was helpful...

Hi! Have a Pie of Rassilon and a pet cat. The pie is yummy. The cat is a calico. Do not eat the cat.

As to the grammar/spelling/punctuation thing, don't worry. Anything that you've written, you can ask for beta-readers to help you with, and most of the time someone will.

Hello fellow new person. Maybe I'll be able to help with the spelling/grammar/punctuation/whatnot you need help with. If you write something for the Board and want it reviewed, I can beta-read it.

Apparently PPC wants you to hang around for a month or so before you can be granted permission, so it's a good idea to participate in some of the other topics. It would be good language partice.

About your question: "Could anyone tell me how it all works?", could you be a bit more specific?

Fair winds!

Now you can throw BBQ parties!
