Game Profile Incomplete

[Apparition]

I logged into the forums at home this evening, and at the top it's telling me that my game profile is 0% complete and that I need to create a game account.  I clicked "Next", and it took me to a screen to agree to a bunch of different things like a user agreement, privacy policy agreement, yadda yadda yadda.

 

Erm... what's going on?

I think Cipher is testing something to help new users. Don't worry about it.

Fair enough. 

@Cipher Could you sticky a "New Player Guides" section in there as well?

 

Something like:

1. Review the User Agreement
2. Review the Privacy Policy
3. Review the Code of Conduct
4. Read the FAQ
5. Visit the Game Account page to set up your game account if you haven't already done so
6. Check out the New Player Guides for tips and tricks if you're in to that sort of thing. 
7. Click 'Next' below to permanently dismiss this message

or into the FAQ.

Where's my "Ok Boomer" button to be grandfathered past it?  😓

When it came up for me, I was just able to click next and it went away - does that not work for the rest of you?

Don’t blame Cipher, this was my fault!
 

Unfortunately by default it’s displayed to everyone, not just new accounts. You can click next or dismiss and it’ll go away 🙂

But Jimmy, why do you these things to us?  Don't you love us anymore?

At some point perhaps - we'd need something to put there (unless you had something in mind already?).

An Angel is love. Jimmy doesn’t love you.

The world we live in has instilled in me a tremendous fear of clicking links that appear with no explanation.  I know a GM has said it's ok, but I'm still not clicking it.  Nope.  No way.  You can't make me do it.  I just know it's going to take me to a never ending "news" story about a waitress that left shocking note on a the receipt that left the wife speechless.

I think we should be very clear on this point. Jimmy never loved you in the first place. He's a robot, he doesn't experience love.

Well, hopefully this is satire, but I can confirm that the link never takes you off our site...

This actually came back a second time for me, but I can't be sure I managed all the clicking it wanted the first time as it felt too quick for what it was presenting.
