Title: Hello all
Post by: Old Wolf on April 26, 2008, 12:37:58 AM
I've done this backwards - I posted a message over at "A Bad Day" first to let Amber know that she was in my thoughts - so now I'm repenting in sack and ashes and greet you all here.

I've been reading Dan & Mab off and on for a long time, but due to RL time constraints have not taken the time to join this particular community. Still, what I have read here while lurking shows me that it's the sort of village full of gentle souls that I would be pleased to associate with.

I enjoy a good RP, a good pun, and good craic about almost anything.  I'm a linguist by profession and a nut case by avocation.  My avatar lives in a cave in the forest, tends the earth, comforts souls in need and grows vegetables in his garden - and has the chutzpah to stand up to any mech that tries to trample his radishes.  And I do mean you, Rekkon.  And I have this thing for haggis...

I will be back as time permits.

I bhfad uainn go léir an drochrud... <Far from us all be the evil thing...>

Welcome to my other sanctuary of insanity.

Beware of boxes and people telling you to beware of same.

Welcome. Welcome to Clockwork Mansion. It's safer here.

Well, actually, it isn't. Good people above has already warned you about most dangers here. You should also look out for spiked floors and bottomless pits. And guys with swords - they are totally unpredictable. :paranoid

Thank you for your kind warnings.  Before coming on board I rolled a 200d8 against traps and read the rules and the FAQ's very, very carefully.  :)

*appears in a flash of blue light*

Greetings, Old Wolf! Another familiar face here. Or at least somewhat familiar (I hope).

Since you have done this backwards, I'll give you a backwards greeting: !murof eht ot emocleW !sgniteerG

Have a welcome gift. *gives Old Wolf a souvenir coffee mug*

Enjoy the place.

Oh, and greetings to the other new person who snuck in in your intro thread. Have a welcome gift, new person. *gives the new person a souvenir coffee mug* Watch your sanity (if any) and don't trust anything the box says.

*waves, and vanishes in a shower of coloured sparkles*

we should almost have a bestiary covering descriptions of our more prevalent forumites so we can just point to it instead of having to issue individual warnings.

perhaps restrict it to the 10% of those that have over fifty posts and have been active at least once in the past year
