uh... Hi everyone

[Pimppeter2]

Here it is

I am Pimppeter2, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No" Says the man at Ebay, "it belongs to the poor". "No" says the Man at religioustolerance.org, "it belongs to God". "No" says the man at Youtube, "it belongs to everyone". I rejected those answers. Instead; I chose something different. I chose the Impossible. I chose. The Escapist. With a forum where the opinionated would not fear the censor (within reason), where the Moderators would not be bound by petty morality, where the Gone Gonzo would not be constrained by the troll. And with the ache of your fingers (and perhaps a new keyboard), The Escapist can be yours as well...

Edit: Was ninja'd by IdealistCommi without realizing it.

Welcome to the Escapist! Learn the following and you will be fine:
I am god here.
The moderators may not be God here but they do have the power to ban you and are generally working towards the greater good.
Be civil.
If you see a troll do not acknowledge their existence by posting. Simply hit the report button and move on. Do not post report and move on, it bumps a troll thread.
Think before you post.
Have fun!

Hihi

I only joined this like, yesterday, so this has been kinda useful for me too lol.

I'm no expert because of this, but I will add that the community seems errrr 'critical' of spelling, grammatical and semantic mistakes. Critical is a nice word for it xD

Just make sure you communicate clearly and, like these nice people say, try not to bait the flamers by accident!

Edit: HA, i lied, it tells me when i joined at the side. D'oh.

I've been going to this site ever since I saw a Zero Punctuation review on G4, so I figured I should at least make an account,
so if you guys don't mind telling me the basic stuff I need to know about the site that would be great, like what to say and what NOT to say etc, thanks

Hey man

Basically,don't be a dick and you'll be fine.My advice,start talking to some people and get some friends,it will make your stay a lot more enjoyable.Join a group or 2 and have fun.

Oh!

and don't piss of Max the reaper

i feel like i missed out in not making a "hello" thread ¬¬

HI!! hope you like the escapist. personally i think its excellent

 

[OmegaXIII]

How-de-do good sir/madame, nice to see someone try to ease themselves in gently rather than go in all guns a blazing proclaiming how the Wiistation 360 is the paragon of teh hardcorz. Consider yourself friended, that should get you off the ground

And as everyone has already said at length, check the forum guidelines, everything you need to know is there in plain English.

Welcome to the escapist bro

Ok, cool Im sure we'll get along then

 

[Disaster Button]

Hello. Would you like a dance?

I know I would

*Gets dancing suit*

Sweet. Oh and if I step on your toes I'm probly just showing my hatred for you passive aggressively.
Do you wanna lead?

 

[ma55ter_fett]

while sucking an a mini candy cane i managed to impair my tongue on it's sugary goodness... I'm bleeding...

if you must use coarse language use it in a creative fashion

ALSO people have a thing about CAPS LOCK CRUISING they really don't like it

from here on out you are a Firefly fan, if you have no idea what that show was about go rent or buy it and watch it through several times.

If MS Word says it a word then it is a word

Haha, you got ninja'd pretty badly there .

Anyway, Hi, and welcome to the Escapist. Mind the bodies under the staircase, I've been going onto Max about those for half a year now. He swears blind they aren't his, he said he's alrady eaten his bodies, but frankly I don't believe him. Sadly one of those bodies is George, our friendly troll, who succumbed to Swine Flu after he caught it when sodomizing a wild boar. Apparently the boar had no complaints. But regardless, someone needs to clear those bodies away, and it ain't gonna be me. I had enough trouble clearing the kitchen of cake after that last "Where is Portal 2???" thread, and I'm NOT doing that again anytime soon. We should probably hire Morgan from LoadingReadyRun to clean this place sometime, it needs a damn good scrub... What were we talking about again?

Oh yeah, welcome to the Escapist, OP. Enjoy your stay and don't get into trouble.

The Escapist. It's Safer Here.

Sorry to be the one to point it out, but I think someone already has that Avatar. I suggest switching.
