I need lotsa help with some basic things...

[theconfusedone]

ok i am a complete, utter, total newwwwwb. I have never opped before, except for some recon i did the other night (didnt go too well i almost got caught and woke up a freakin loud dog),but i did find out which houses have motion lights(almost all) and which backyards are easy to get into.
What i need is a total newb guide. I need more confidence, need more stealth and i need some tips (for like sneakin into neighbors yards). Basically, i need a way to train to become a freakin ninja.
(plus, any ideas of how to sneak out of my house? I have creaky floorboards, sleep right next to my parents' room and the door is on the entire other side of the house...)

please, any help? I kno this is a lot to ask... But i wanna get into opping!

Get a copy of The Way of the Shadow by Psychlonic in the Resources page (link provided below). There are a few other texts there to read through, but TWOTS is certainly what I'd recommend.

don't worry confused one, I wrote a guide on leaving the house! try looking for 'for the bare beginners', it's among the resources as a PDF, but you might want to read over the guide in the resources section! Aside from that, all I can really recommend is practice, practice, practice. You don't want to know how many times I tried sneaking up on my little brother to practice.
