Read this please. It will definitely help you in the long run. I know we're not supposed to make a thread here if we're not new, but no one else follows that rule. Why should I?

Table of Contents:

[3] Building
[4] Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
[CHAPTER ONE: What to do, and what NOT to do.]
You're new to Roblox. You don't know what to do. Right?
First of all, use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling, if possible. It's OK to misspell something every once in a while, but don't do it all the time. You'll be respected in Roblox.
Don't insult people. Just leave them be if they fail. You know s/he failed, s/he knows s/he failed. Don't say "pwned". Let them be.
PEOPLE WILL TRY TO GET YOU MAD. I don't like it, but that's the way the community is. Keep cool, don't get mad, just leave them be. Don't reply, or if you do, say something clever and witty and non-insulting (lol).
Make friends. Meet someone at a game or on the forums, then send them a friend request. Meet up with them in a week or so, when they still remember you.
NEVER, EVER, COPY ADS! People will insult and disrespect you. It's just not OK to copy ads. If you ever run an ad and you think it's bad, on't run it.
[CHAPTER TWO: Game-playing.]
DON'T SPAWNKILL. Technically, this isn't against the rules, but it's downright noobish. People will disrespect you.
DON'T TEAMKILL. Again, not against rules, but bad to do.
NEVER BLAME SOMETHING ON HACKING.
Hacking (exploiting is the correct term) is a very rare thing. People will think of it as an excuse that you got killed, and in some ways it is.
DON'T DELETE STUFF IN BUILDING GAMES. That's a very idiotic thing to do. People will hate you for it, and what do you gain? Nothing.
[CHAPTER THREE: BUILDING.]

[CHAPTER FIVE: FAQ]
1) How do I drive vehicles?
You use the arrow keys. If that doesn't work, select the tool that operates the vehicle and press y. Sometimes you press e, but it's usually y.
2) How do you script?
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Scripting
3) How do you fight good?
Practice. If it's swordfighting, go up to your opponent and just as he comes up to you, back away, then go forward again. He won't realize until it's too late. Other fighting - just click like mad. If it's a gun, AIM FIRST.
4) How do you move?
Most important of all. Use arrow keys or WASD to move. Spacebar to jump. "O" to zoom out, "I" to zoom in.
5) What should I buy in the catalog?
Don't buy shirts/pants, unless they look epic. Avoid muscle-shirts, and save up for an expensive hat.
I hope you learned something from this.

Hey you'll start a succesful Robloxian Life with this,
Here's a few more things. You may already know them, but People can and will if you break THE RULES:
Mainly we got No Online Dating - Roleplaying counts!
No spamming - such as copy and paste this on 5 hats press F1 and you will get 9999 tix, blah blah blah, they don't work.
No swearing, being really mean and well those are the ones you must follow, or you will get banned. (IF someone reports you, which they should.)
You need more help, PM me :)

This guide is...stupid. Let them learn the lesson on thier own. |

The guide...is helpful. I don't want them to learn slowly like I did. It took me 9 months before I finally figured out what Explorer and Properties were, and how to view them. |
