Daniel McNeely is the founder of Armor Games. Starting as Games of Gondor, it grew and with the help of beta testers, became the Armor Games we all know and love. This new site went live on January 8th 2008. Here you can play games, leave reviews, talk with people in the forums, make new friends, and much more.
In addition to the above mentioned rules, game comments should have something important to say, and be at least a full sentence long. "Good game" or "this game sux" is considered spam, and will be deleted. Try to give the creator of the game some sort of critique that would be helpful in a sequel.
Administrators are the people that keep the website running, from the programming to the introduction of new games, to the general well-being of the community. Much of their work is done behind the scenes but they are always watching!
Moderators are the people that keep the community safe and relatively drama-free. Moderators are in charge of watching out for spam and inappropriate activities, as well as giving out merits and commending people on being great in the community! These are the people to contact if you are having an issue with another user, or have a general question or comment.
Links to all of the pages of the Admins and Mods are here!
Although this is explained in the Help section, I will further explain the breakdown here.
Rating games (2 AP) - This is when you rate the game you have played from .5-10, depending on what you think it deserves. I want to stress again that you should have played the game for a while and really thought about your decision before rating it. This is a one-time rating you can give.
Comments (2 AP) - These are both Game Review comments and Profile comments. I would like to stress here that spamming in the Game Review section, or on other people's profiles, will not be tolerated. Please make sure any comment you make is important, and has some sort of relevant information in it ("hi" is spam.)
Forum Posts (1 AP) - These are comments that are put in the forum section! Please make sure you read the rules at the beginning of this section before posting in the forums, and make sure to use appropriate language (this site is 13+).
Games Submitted (20 AP) - Have a game that you made and wish to submit it? Go here and share it with the community! Make sure *you* made the game though! If you want to get a game here that is *not* yours, you need to contact the actual creator and bribe him/her to put it here.
Merits (25 AP) - These are the ultimate reward for writing great reviews! Make sure to read the Heightened Merit Standards to make sure that each post you make is a possibility for an additional 25 AP!

~Site Rank: This is your rank overall throughout all the members of the community! A list is here so you know who you have to push and shove out of the way!
Stickies are at the top of all of the forum sections, and give you information that EVERYONE is expected to know! Do not expect sympathy if you do not read stickies (though if you are reading this one, I would hope you read the rest!) It is your responsibility here to know the rules that are given in these, though, of course, you will be given a warning if you are venturing into error.
Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due
This guide is an abridged and updated version of the one given here.

Woah, everything I need to know is right there! (If I hadn't already known all of it), it'd be great for newbies especially, and I bet the awe-inspiring truth of AP will have them running screaming to...urm...their mom!
