Creating Your First Journal Post
All Journal posts are kept in the “Record Post” section of the forum. Here, you can view other Observers posts for inspiration, information, or share your thoughts on their threads.
It’s important to note: each Observer is strongly advised to keep only 1 thread for their given alliance (or Group Number). If you are playing in 2 or more matches, you are allowed (and encouraged) to have a separate “first post” and thread for each match.
Once you have opened the Record Post section in your browser:
- Click on the button in the top right that says “+ New Topic” to open the Draft window.
- In the Subject, use the following format: [Record Post] Server# - Alliance - Subject
a… For example: [Record Post] S119 - ABC - My Observations on Season 2 - Keep the Draft window open, and go back to the tab you opened for the Group Template.
a… Copy all of the text in the Template (Ctrl+C).
b… Paste all of that text into the body of the Draft window on the forum.
c… A preview of your first post should appear to the right of the Draft window. - Fill in the missing information in the template with your personal information.
a… In-Game Name
b… Alliance Name
c… Personal Goal - Click “Submit” to create your new Observation Journal.
Now that it is created, you can edit it at any time by clicking the 
icon in the lower right of your post. If you can’t find the pencil, click the menu symbol, which looks like three dots.
Our first edit of your Observation Journal will be to remove the direction paragraphs that say you can delete them. Don’t remove the Table of Contents, though. We’ll be using this in the next step: replying to your own first post.
