A new one in the forest...?

Why, yes, I am! Quite new, in fact, that I only joined today. I was led here by some deer bounding off of Deviantart, and now I'm here.
I can't download the actual game until tomorrow (sigh) but from just looking around I'm twitching to get started. I had some questions, though, and it would be nice if anyone could give me the general newbie tips~

Anyways--
When you want to create more than one deer character, does this require more than one account?
How do you people manage to recognize each other as only deers? D:
How much do YOU like it here? <3

Anyways, the name is Fae (not sure if that will stick. It usually doesn't...) but call me whatever you want. You wouldn't BELIEVE the nicknames I've gotten. <3

Thanks all!

ETA:


Thanks for the answers and the welcome! One more small question (because I'm annoying like that), but when you make these different accounts and blogs, do you keep track of the characters on the main account or the separate ones?

And then how do you make the spiffy pages I've seen around on deers?

...also, it won't let me reply, it keeps saying "add a valid author". what?

Welcome! I'm only a bit over

Welcome! I'm only a bit over a week old here on TEF but in answer to one of your questions:

How do you people manage to recognize each other as only deers? D:

I didn't think I would ever be able to memorize any of the pictos either, but honestly, the more time you spend looking at them while in-game, and even in profiles, the easier it becomes to tell them apart and then remember them. It's good to try to associate the shape of the picto with something, too. It has helped me.

Don't worry, it'll come easy eventually.

Hey, welcome! I hope you have

Hey, welcome! I hope you have fun here; it can be a really magnetic game if it's your kind of thing. Even the forums here can be hard to get off once you get hooked.

Here are a few answers for you-

*When you want to create more than one deer character, does this require more than one account?
It sure does. :3 And I think it's safe to say we're all alright with it. It means you have a different blog for each deer, if you want to keep their posts organized and such.

*How do you people manage to recognize each other as only deers? D:
Ah, I remember back when I couldn't "read" pictograms. It was difficult, yes, and did seem daunting. But after a while? It became just like reading words. It just takes time, really. After a while you'll become familiar with them. And like the person above said, comparing pictos to an object can be a helpful way to remember them.

*How much do YOU like it here? <3
I adore it. It's creative, and fairly welcoming. Admittedly, it seems a little slower these days (probably because of school starting up for most people), but it's still horribly fun.

When you want to create more

When you want to create more than one deer character, does this require more than one account?

Usually yes. You see, in the game you log in under your account name (username and password), and your deer will have a pictogram over it's head unique to that account, and that's how people will be able to recognize your deer.
If you want more than one character, than you can get another account and log in with that username and password when you want to play as that deer.
