Been a while since I've done this...

Wow, things've gotten a touch trickier than they were back when I used to roleplay, this posting form's a bit different from the usual PHPBBs I've been on.

But yeah, hey there. My name's Tim. I go by Wyrmisis on the internet typically. I've been roleplaying since I was about ten. Though I doubt I had any profound roles way back then, I still hope the seven years off-and-on that I've played have taught me a thing or two about the craft. I've always been quite partial to fantasy roleplays, though back in the day I mixed the past and present up a decent bit. My wordcount can range from 250 to 500 words, depending on what I have to work with. Sometimes, though, less is more.

Before coming here, I'd played on a great many dead forums (well, they were alive when -I- got there), Gaia, DaeLuin, (now I get to start dating myself here) Yahoo chats back when users could make their own, AOL chats back when I had the service, and MSN chats back when the service was free. I've been out of roleplaying for a good nine months because my hard drive in my laptop and the old, creaky wireless router I had died in rapid sequence. But I'm back now.

On a more personal level, I'm a seventeen year old amateur web designer that refuses to use any sort of proprietary programs (I have a hard time using Dreamweaver and Flash in my Web Design class, even) and a proud user of the operating system openSUSE 11.0. I also play a game called Dagorhir, which I at times refer to as "bludgeoning guys with shields with my nice big two-handed foam sword." Granted, saying that runs the risk of offending anyone else around here that might play, but, whoops. I can post pictures of my gear, if you guys have an interest.

I use Twitter, AIM (DragonByProxy), Yahoo (dragon_by_proxy), and MSN (pyron185@msn.com). Twitter is the best way to get ahold of me, since it's become so sadly integrated into my life. IM or tweet at me if you need me to post or want to talk. I'm around on weekdays from about 4:00pm until 11:00pm GMT -5, Saturdays basically all day, and Sundays from 5:00pm until 11:00pm. Just let me know who you are and I'll be happy to talk.

I worry that I've become too verbose here; my personal intro posts rarely ever get past 300 words, but here I am over 400. Oh well, providing I hadn't tooted my own horn overly much, I hope I've given you guys a good picture of who I am.

Can't wait to play with you guys!

Hail and welcome to the gateway. I am Irish Wolf, the bored. I hope you have a good time with us here and find a few games to your liking. Lost posts are goof posts man. Anyways, if your looking for a game to start off on with us, might I suggest one of my own thats about monsters and the 1700s (its also a group game): the-beast-ooc-t14500.html Or I just put out a sci-i game that’s kinda like Survivor but on a planet wide scale: strange-new-earth-ooc-t14613.html







Oh and as member of the staff, I should tell you to give the rules and the user manual a look over so you don't get in trouble without knowing it.

Welcome Tim,

I am the friendly and knowledgeable rafter queen, but you can call me Rose. You can always find me in the rafters. I'm one of those types that hops on at random times during the night, but you can always find me up and running in the morning and throughout the afternoon.

Ummm.... beware the zombies.... they tend to attack at random times, mostly during the morning hours. We're a bunch of goofs though. But we're easily likeable.... well some of us anyway....

Now look at me, I'm rambling on...

Anywho... A pleasure to meet you and I hope to see you amongst the threads or in IRC.

~Rose~

Thanks for the welcomes; I'm afraid I forgot my zombie repellent (read: shotgun) a few lucky finds back. Lucky for me I've

I'll have to hop on IRC, I have yet to use my OS's built-in IRC client, but I've been looking for an excuse. Where can I find the info to get in? I haven't been able to track it down from a casual glance around the site.

Nice to meet you too. It's not that I find the programs hard to use (well okay yeah Dreamweaver can get irritating telling me to develop for Netscape 5 and IE5), I just know how to code everything better. Unfortunately, everyone I know that does web development is like, "Learn Dreamweaver! WYSIWYG is amazing!" aside from a person that I've been personally teaching my coding junk.

Then again, everyone but the person I've taught use table-based site layout. Ew.
