Welcome to Nihonomaru,
peiper!
You should read the
rules if You haven't done that already.
If You want to have some fun You may want to check
this section or
Maru's clubs. ^^
If You are into more serious discussions I recommend the
Philosophers' Corner. :P
You might also want to check
this thread about Nihonomaru's reputation system.
And don't forget if You want to access the HQ sections You'll need 55+ reputaion points.
Another fun way to spend time here is the
RPG. Here's a
guide if You don't know something.
There are many more really good features. Explore the site and have fun! ;)
