1. Read the Rules

Don't be a jerk.

Don't cause drama.

Real life comes first.

It is the responsibility of the applicant to read and understand the rules and policies of the Org. By joining ADI you are acknowledging that you have reviewed them. If you have any questions, please ask the person onboarding you for any clarifications needed. Read over the expanded rules on the Rules Page

2. Verify your RSI Handle and Moniker match

Ensuring that all your names match exactly is crucial for keeping our Org organized and efficient. Please follow these steps to make sure all your names match:

Verify that your RSI handle, RSI moniker, and ADI forum account name match exactly. Please note that we do not allow spaces or special characters (including dots, commas, etc.) in any of our names, including forum names and RSI handles/monikers. The only exceptions are a single dash or underscore, which cannot be at the beginning or end of your name.
Click here for detailed instructions on how to change your RSI handle and moniker if they do not match.
Your name must be easily pronounceable and not tactically confusing. Avoid using names that are difficult to pronounce or spell (such as "Xanthippe"), or that could be misinterpreted as military designations (such as "Alpha1" or "Bravo3"). Additionally, avoid names that contain leet speak (such as "l33tSn1per").
Your name must also not include inappropriate language or themes (such as profanity, racism, or sexual innuendo).

By following these steps and ensuring that all your names match exactly, we can avoid confusion and maintain smooth communication and coordination within the Org. Thank you for your cooperation.

3. Join ADI on the RSI website

4. Sign up on the ADI Forums

All official communication within ADI is done on our private forums.

Click on this link to create an account (Microsoft - hotmail, outlook, Live addresses are not presently allowed). Once you've made one, visit the Introductions forum and follow the application instructions there. Please note that as a new account, you won't see your introduction post until a staff member approves it.

5. Join our Discord

All members of ADI are required to use our ADI Discord for voice communications while playing in the Verse.

We strongly recommend that you use a headset and make sure it's set up properly.
Please make sure you're in a quiet area, or turn on push-to-talk by going to your Discord 'User Settings' > 'Voice & Video'. Change 'Input Mode' to 'Push to Talk'. Once you click 'Push to Talk' you can set up the 'Shortcut' hotkey just below the 'Input Mode' settings.

Step 6. Choose a Member Division to Join

During your onboarding, you will be asked which of our Member Divisions you would like to join and which Role you would prefer. While your choice doesn't limit you, you may want to pick the Division and Role that match best with your desired gameplay experience in Star Citizen. If you haven't yet, please review the Member Division pages for information on the various options.

Step 7. Participate in an Onboarding

ADI wants to make sure we have quality members who will mesh with the group from day 1. To achieve this, we do a voice interview with every prospective member. This gives you the chance to ask questions about the Org and get familiar with us and our culture.

Join our Discord and post a hello message in the #Lobby channel. Here is the link to Discord in case you missed it.
Hop into the #waiting_room voice channel and wait there for a staff member to greet you. One of them will come shortly and will move you to a private channel and proceed to onboard you.*

*Note: If somebody doesn't greet you in a few minutes, look in the Discord 'who's online' panel for a staff member. Right click on their name, and click on 'Message'. Explain to them you're new and would like to join ADI.
