This guide is designed for ease of use for first time players, if you are new to byond games, or these style of roleplay communities start here! If you are experienced at these kinds of communities, jump straight to applying on our Discord and start your Character Creation.

To start out, go to http://www.byond.com/ and register an account.

Then you are ready to download the client, and install it. Use version 516.1663, lower versions are not supported!

You can find most files here and a direct link to the version in question here.

When your BYOND account is set up, and you are logged in, you are equipped with everything you need to fill out our application and join our community on Discord. Once you're in, start the age verification process.

The age verification process is as follows:

- You open a ticket via the button, and the Scarlet Screen bot DMs you. (If you don't get a DM within 2 minutes, try clicking the button again)

- You state that you agree to our terms of service and submit a photo of a government issued ID (making sure to censor out everything except the birth date! We recommend MS Paint for this)

- A host or head admin reviews the image without seeing your Discord information (not even your username!)

- You are asked to take a second photo with a unique code or message either written down, or you can type it on your PC and have that in the photo. You can skip this second step entirely by having the ticket open in the background of the image and posting two angles; we ask for this to ensure it's not AI generated or an image taken from the internet.

Once you've completed the age verification ticket process in Discord, use the #bot-spam channel and run the ?verify command with your 'ckey' (BYOND login username .

Some examples of proper ?verify syntax are as follows:

If your BYOND login name is "Buffalo Wing", use ?verify buffalowing

If your BYOND login name is xxregimeenjoyerxx, use ?verify xxregimeenjoyerxx

Note: Avoid using spaces if your username has any!
