Greetings and Introductions

[DamianaRaven]

Hello! My name is Jenna and this is my first post. I'm not sure if there's already an introduction thread - if there is, the mods are welcome to move this post to wherever it belongs. Anyway, I'm 39 and... distinctly atypical, as will become increasingly apparent over time. I'm looking forward to lots of interesting discussions, debates, and general camaraderie.

Any questions? I like questions!

Welcome to the Escapist, DamianaRaven. Do try to have fun!

 

[DamianaRaven]

Fun is what I bring to the table - hopefully, we'll all have some!

 

[PsychicTaco115]

I'm the resident memer :^)

Always nice to see a new face, we're quite low in that department

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Hey Jenna, ain't too often we get threads of people introducing themselves, usually when an account is made, they just jump right into posting

Hope you enjoy the site and hit me up if you are in the Roleplaying section, that's my main haunt

 

[DeimosMasque]

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

Welcome to the corner of the internet that many of us call home. The Escapist. Its not perfect but it's still a great place to be.

Avoid the Cesspool and bring your Sources to the basement and everything will go fine.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

Welcome to this forum. It's pretty alright most of the time.

Always nice to see a new face, we're quite low in that department

It's okay, I change to a new face like every few days or so to make up for the loss. I just need to find my next avatar.

Hi! Questions? I have plenty of questions!

What is the meaning of life?
How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Roll flavoured Tootsie Pop?
Have you seen my left shoe?

Taco, you forget yourself. Most people are not anthropomorphic objects with mental abilities. That's not a face. It's a flower.

 

[JoJo]

Welcome, you're the first user of 2016 I've seen. Make sure to press any red buttons you see, and to stay out of the basement, and you should do just fine here.

Wait a god damn minute...

To DamianaRaven: In case you're not familiar with the website's formatting code when it comes to posting:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.850242-The-Escapist-Users-Guide-to-Posting-Commands-and-How-to-do-Fancy-Code-Stuff

That has all the fun stuff: Bolding, Youtube embedding, the works.

Also, since others deemed fit to tell you what their roles are, I suppose it's only fair that I warn you that I'm the resident trash poster. I mostly just sit around and type angry, indignant post and hope I don't get the thread closed (Which I fail at remarkably often).

So, you know... if you see the Davion Starburst over on the left, best the flee!

Roles? We have roles?

Is generally ambivalent but sarcastic idiot taken?

Yes, but it would be a violation of forum policy for me to point out who.

Though I suppose it wouldn't hurt if we had a handful of ambivalent idiots. This isn't a D&D campaign - We can stack one class without consequence.

Don't be absurd. A party of clerics is pwnage.

 

[LongAndShort]

Shit, I haven't seen a new user introduction thread in fucking yonks. It's nice to see.

Hi, I'm a random hard-swearing Australian.

Welcome to The Escapist mate. You'll do well here. Pay attention to what the above lot have all said, read the forum rules and stay out of the basement.

 

[Frankster]

I +1 the sentiment it's been a while since a new user thread.

Questions:

Well let's play it safe:
-Favorite games?
-Favorite genres?

Now let's get a little more fancy:
-Which MMO archetype do you tend to gravitate towards? Tank, melee DPS, healer, Caster or something else?
-What bought you to the escapist and made you want to sign up?

And a warm welcome to ye.

 

[Ragsnstitches]

New faces are a rarity these days, introductions rarer still. Give me a moment to soak up the novelty of this moment...

...

Okay, now down to brass tacks... Dinosaurs in fiction: Feathers or No Feathers?

 

[IceForce]

Who are you and who do you work for??

 

[Parasondox]

Who are you and who do you work for??

Agent Force!! Calm down. She has been cleared by those up top. She isn't going to sell your secrets and double cross the agency.

Welcome. I'm Parasondox, or Para or just PSDX. You can take your pic. Buzzwords are a bit dangerous at this time of year so try not to get stung. Users here are a strange bunch but they are the strange bunch I love. Some have "unique" fetishes. I say some, I am included in that. Yes, quite right.

Just relax, enjoy your stay, do not take everything you see to heart. Trust me, it will only drain you if you do and be natural. And by natural I mean beautifully different.

Now, I need to report back to ma'am. Something about prostitution, I don't know.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Welcome welcome! Enjoy the forums, stay out of the basement, and such. I'm the Goat Emperor (thats what my name means), leader of the Henchgoats and member of the Injustice League. My esteemed colleague in villainy and minister of disinformation, propaganda and general memery, PsychicTaco already introduced himself so I figured I'd toss my hat in the ring to formally welcome you.

It warms my frosty, villianous goat-heart to see a new person here to subvert... ahhh... converse with.

In all seriousness though, welcome! Hope your stay is wonderful, just ignore the cynicism that crops up from time to time and you'll be fine.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Welcome to the Escapist. Enjoy your time here and do try to stay out of the basement. I highly recommend checking out the forum games section.

You said you were taking questions so here's mine:
Do you prefer the easy handling of a soft taco, or the satisfying crunch of a hard taco?
