Totally new here...
Anyone able to help explain this a bit better to me? I feel totally lame asking for help, but I'm hoping someone will be willing... I hope I posted this in the right place too...

I just posted an item in your box with a link to a list of guides and FAQs.

People can send you icons—as I just did—and you can accept them with your tokens. You get ten tokens each month. Some sets cost one token (bronze), some cost three tokens (silver), some cost five tokens (gold) and some cost ten tokens (diamond). If you don't want a set someone sends you, decline it. After it has been on your page for seven days it disappears anyhow as you can't store the sets that are sent to you.
Then you use your stamps to send icons to other people :)
Have fun!

Ahoy, awkwardlullaby! Welcome to IB, I've added ye as a friend to help you towards one of your first badges -- the rockstar/fans badge. :D
Pirate wisdom, passed on to me by elnitido52:
You don't have to accept every set that is sent to you and you have to keep in mind that sets cost tokens and you only get ten (10) tokens a month if you arrr... not a VIP (VIP's=30 TOKENS) so spend them wisely. Sending sets costs stamps.
The value of the sets you send or buy arrr... as follow:
&bull Bronze Set = 1 token for buying = 1 stamp for sending
&bull Silver Set = 3 tokens for buying = 3 stamps for sending
&bull Gold Set = 5 tokens for buying = 5 stamps for sending
&bull Diamond Set = 10 token for buying = 10 stamps for sending
As of Today, 3 Diamond Sets = Amsterdam High Seas, PackRat and IB Anniversary = 1 month of tokens for each set.
Need more tokens? For every 10,000 points you get 2 extra tokens every month up to 10 tokens (50,000 points). One free token each month for every referral that becomes VIP up to 10 tokens (10 VIP referrals). Check the complete-icon-lists from debbye.
Try to fill out your profile entirely ASAP, to show off who you are to the rest of the community.
You get more stamps by receiving sets (5 for each set you receive). There arrr... several good tutorials here in the forum and somebody will be very glad to link you to some fairly quickly. For a detailed help you should start at tamashii's Guides, FAQs and Tutorials.
You can upload an avatar and earn your first badge, the cheese badge.
Next time you have 10 tokens. Get 10 Shanghai bronze sets. They cost 1 token each and if you hold 10 sets = 10 tokens. What you get? 100 points + 3 badges + 50 stamps (very important for this game) but most important...10 great "undervalued" sets.
Just post a blog (click Blog Forums tab in your profile) "Newbie - Accepting Shanghai sets", and you will get them very quickly, I promise you that...
Enjoy the Buffet!

Welcome! Added you and sent you a Shanghai set, as they're the easiest to get a badge for. Enjoy~

I would send you sets but I am out of stamps.
