Get Active

Make sure you are active and attentive on Discord and our Role Play group in world. You want to know when businesses are opening, when people are throwing events or gathering and attend them! This is not a city where you can just stand around and hope someone talks to you. While it can happen, do your best to support openings to meet people and also reward role players who are putting in effort to generate role play.

Join a Committee

Every role play sector in Bayside is organized by sub committees.  These are people who are dedicated to seeing this type of role play succeed.  Go to the “Join a Committee” channel on Discord to select any committees you’d like to join and jump right in.
