my ingame name is bayne1982 and I am totally new to Star Citizen and I appreciate your invitation to join ADI.
I used to play some MMO’s like WoW and Elder Scrolls Online for quite along time and SC is a new experience to me.
My RL name is Daniel and I am 34 years old, living in Aachen, Germany.
I am a dedicated fun-player, but with ambitions and I am looking forward to integrate myself into ADI.
I am going to join on mumble on friday evening (13/01/17).
When you get a few minutes, please make sure you hop on our mumble server to get your onboarding completed. You’ll meet up with one of our staff members for a quick chat and if everything goes smoothly you’ll be an official member of the largest exclusive organization in the Star Citizen universe.
One thing you’ll notice when you’re on our mumble server is that we’re also active in a number of other games while we’re waiting for Star Citizen to launch. You are, of course, welcome to join us in any of those games at any time, once your onboarding is completed.
Again, welcome! We’re looking forward to getting to know you.
As Terraphon mentioned, ff you haven’t don’t so already, hop onto our mumble server when you get a moment - it’s a good place to get to know our more active members and staff as well as get some game time in with other players. While you are there, talk to a staff member (denoted by a |T| |AD| or {D} prefix to their names) about completing your onboarding process - doing this will give you access to the member only forums as well as our discord services.
I always like to make it clear that if you have any questions while you are here, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask one of us - we will do our best to get you the answers you are looking for.
Lastly - I just like to point out that ADI is working on branching out into other games while we patiently wait for SC to release (Soon TM as they say). Currently we have plans to support CoD:IW, we have a number of players in Ark Survival Evolved, and plan on supporting a survival space sim called Hellion when it releases (expected to be January or February 2017). Feel free to help our community expand into more new games.
Welcome again and I look forward to getting some game time in with you.
Please note it could take a few days for your application to be processed. That said - the only thing this will delay is your access to the private forums here on this site - once your onboarding is complete you are free to get fully engaged with the ADI community!
Welcome, bayne! You really should follow up on Infandus’ advice, as it will serve you well as you get to know us and us you!
Feel free to message any of us here with any questions you may have!
Welcome to ADI! Aachen eh? Isn’t that the throne of the Charlemagne?
Don’t hesitate to join the conversations in mumble and discord. We don’t bite and we are eager to get to know our new guys. We have multiple scheduled gaming events every week such as the flight night in Star Citizen which is twice every Friday. There are two for both EU and US time zones but you can always join both no matter where you live.
You are always welcome to ask any questions by PM or talking/typing in a chat room, but be aware, that there are few channels with different topics & general rules such as:
The Blackwell’s is for off-topic and preferably no Star Citizen talk at all.
The Star Citizen Chat / org chat is for Star Citizen topics, ships and etc.
The Gameroom is for other games discussion and public playing, although if you play with a mate and you talk about the game in mumble whilst playing it, it would be better for you two to move down to a games channel for 1) clear communications for you two, 2) not interrupting the chat of others in the channel.
All of the channels above are in discord and mumble and those are our primary lounges.
Welcome bayne1982, glad you took the time to check us out, as we’re happy to have you on board with us! We look forward to getting in some flight time with you as we push closer to 3.0 Hopefully you were able to meet up with our EU team for their Flight Night, and if not, we hold another one…US based. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or need help with anything.
