I'm interested in /cyb/, but...
| Hey dude, I literally joined for the very first time (as in, joined the entire app) 3 days ago and I already have people totally going with arg. It's even been posted on the /cyb/ wiki and everything. I absolutely did NOT expect it to take off this fast at all, but moral of the story: You just have to try man, and have fun doing it :)
-FB.

So I just roll in a random post and start playing with everyone like it's a thing I'm allowed to do? And no one's going to get angry at a random newfag ruining their experience, albeit unintentionally? Sounds too good to be true, g/u/rl.

The only way you could "ruin our experience" is if you took control of someone's character or started mary sueing your way to victory, but those aren't things to really worry about. ^^
Even what little drama we -did- have mostly took place off the board and on a Discord. That, and there was no moderation at the time.
| There is a discord for just /cyb/.
Ask around I guess. There is ppl in the /u/ discord who take part in it.
##Janitor:Stormy##
| Honestly one of the easiest (if not best) way to contribute is to just comment on one of the regular threads on the happenings around town. The threads that have "setting" written next to them or are describing actions in >red text
are the ones that take place out of the board itself.
##Janitor:Stormy##
| So you don't need to contribute to those if you don't want to. ^^;;
| Whats the discord link?
##Admin:prefetcher##
| /lain/ is a better board tbh

Wait, really? Like, a seperate Discord from the main Discord, specifically for /cyb/? How would one get invited to that?

Yes, it's pinned! :)

An invite will work its way into /cyb/ over time. ;)

I have been running into a problem of people being rather dissatisfied with the quality of my roleplaying and infrequency of my posts. Mostly the latter one, in all honesty. So I wasn't really sure how to approach the whole thing here. But from what you're saying it seems like the more chill atmosphere of the board itself is prevalent in /cyb/ as well, so I might give it a shot sometimes.

Yep!
Generally we try to keep the environment a little more relaxed (or rather, much more relaxed) than your typical longform forum-based roleplay communities, hence the lack of a formalized "ruleset." This is done on purpose to try and make participation as comfy as possible, although I can see why people are intimidated. ^^;;

| Infrequency can't be helped- everyone's busy, some more than others, but generally we just work around issues as they come up.
Just keep in mind that the setting -is- cyberpunk, however. There were a few roleplayers running around with "spells" but like that old adage says, "Significantly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Yep. I remember a dude that once signed up with a 'lightning enchanted sword +10' in his character's inventory. The problem is, it was a game in a sci-fi setting. But we just ruled out that his sword had some kinda shocker in the handle or something, so it kinda worked out.

Yep! Not to mention, that already has a kind of precedent anyway (for instance, upgrading vibroswords/lightsabers in KOTOR with ion generators, to make them do more damage to droids.)
| I don't like /cyb/ too.

| It's really scary to try getting into. It's overwhelming, honestly, and it seems like people there have already got their shit sorted out and don't need a fricking rando sticking their 5 cents in where they don't belong. Idunno, it's just kinda weird.
