Introduce yourselves! (A friendly topic for new members)

[OzHatke]

Hi other LRRfans! I'm new to this forum (and forums in general!) and this seems pretty cool. I recently got into tabletop game design and need all the help I can get and everyone here seems like an awesome resource

Dibs x 2

[Ptangmatik]

I would say hi OzHatke, and welcome to the forums etc, but since Michi's double dibs'd you, there's very little I can do at this point. If he offers you anything, set fire to your shoelaces and run in a circle screaming like an owl.

It's the only way he'll learn.

[General Michi]

I TOLD YOU THAT IN CONFIDENCE

[OzHatke]

Consider my shoelaces singed and the hooting circle run, with a cartwheel thrown in for good measure.

[Hekla]

Good Evening.

Well, I thought it would do me no harm to introduce myself. My name is Owen. I'm also, as you can see Hekla (or other Icelandic volcano depending on username availability), or Quinton (the cat you can see in my avatar – 'tis totally me). On Twitch I'm QuintonDreaming (Because... username theives everywhere).

But you will have likely never seen those names because I'm hardly vocal.

I started watching LRR content a couple of years ago, and have been hooked ever since.

I'm from the UK, but living in the US for this academic year. Exciting times.

Dibs squared

[W1LG3RtheCyan]

Hey guys! You may have seen me in the stream chat, but I am reasonably quiet.

My name is Bryan, I'm 21, and I am a certified Java developer with my own business.

Caution: The next paragraph is not 100% relevant to who I am. It is a wall of text that has nothing to do with the rest of the post, but rather introduces my work. Skip if you must.

The game that I'm working on is being slowly phased out at the moment as it is just too large. My username originates from the name of my character in this game, as he is a Chaos Elf sorcerer who once led his people to war against those who banished them to the edge of the galaxy. I could go on for days about this project, but I think that it is best if I contain it within its own thread. The name of the game is Ecalepafem, because all of the other names that I came up with were used by some small project or other that nobody had heard of, with a major corporation now holding the IP. In a nutshell, Ecalepafem was a manageable project that snowballed ridiculously.

In my spare time I watch LRR, play games on Steam under the same name,and attend FNM with my friends using janky theme decks that contain even jankier combos. I was a part of the TimeLords on PWI's RagingTide server, and I still identify myself as one, although my allegiances now lie with the Empire of Darkness in Star Conflict. What can I say? They made really good cookies.

There is a strong possibility of me going back to school to round out my skill set a bit, but code is my life.

I hope to be around more often.

TL;DR I'm new-ish and I make stuff.

Edit: The Ecalepafem paragraph is a lot shorter than I thought it was going to be. I may make a thread explaining it in more detail in the future.

System.dibs();

Di-

damnit!

[My pseudonym is Ix]

Michi, you have been handed a dibs warning. Excessive dibbing will result in further sanctions.

On an unrelated note, welcome to all the newbies and don't feed the Elomin. He bites

[Ptangmatik]

What about dobbing?

[My pseudonym is Ix]

Dobbing is covered under Section 4.1.2 a) Part ii) of the End User License agreement, and thus comes under Kevin's jurisdiction. I know not who Kevin is, neither do I want to find out.

[General Michi]

But I need my fix

[ChemPrincess]

Hello,

Since I just met the LRR crew I felt the need to finally make an account on here.

Real name is JJ, and contrary to the name, I'm male.

Graduated last year from the University of Michigan with a degree in chemistry, so Cam's my boy. Currently working as a chemist for a chemistry startup company in southeastern Michigan called Resinate. Shameless plug, but we do good work.

Big into fitness, cooking and Magic. As for media, my tastes tend to border on elitist to the point of caricature, but I'm painfully sincere about them.
Anime: Utena, Madoka Magica, Evangelion, Kare Kano
Music: Pains of Being Pure at Heart, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, 2Pac
Etc

Hope to get to know some of you guys better while learning about Canada, the country that has a lot of the sensibilities of Michigan but seemingly without the sense of quiet desperation common to this state.

Dibs.

I say this not out of genuine dibsing desire, but purely to get in there before Michi. Welcome to the forums ChemPrincess!

[Ptangmatik]

But wait, didn't Michi dibs you? Then by the transitive property, anyone you dibs is then inherently dibsed by him!

[My pseudonym is Ix]

I thought we'd recriminalised the transitive property of dibs?

[General Michi]

Oh! Have I been saying dibs this whole time? I'm so sorry, I meant dips. I ordered too much food and was wondering if the new folks wanted some as a welcoming to the forums. "honestly"

[Ptangmatik]

I will BURY you in salsa

[Phailhammer]

Dips? Dibs.

[Cossak11]

Hey all, I'm Cossak11 and I sip coffee *Sips Coffee* anyways I play lots of mtg, walked fourteen miles for a prerelease event, play paintball and am completely crazy.

[General Michi]

Hey Cossak, fancy some dip?
