Greetings from a n00b!!!

[Locutus]

Hey all you WoT fans!!

Here is my lame intro :D

 

My brother is a big fantasy fan and had me read The Hobbit when I was nine. I loved it and was blown away...and than he told me the story continues with the Fellowship of the Ring. I was so excited that I read the LotR as fast as I could. I finished it shortly after I turned 12, so, I asked my brother what I should read next. He gave me the most battered book I have ever seen, it was called The Eye of the World. To be honest, I skipped the prolouge and started chap 1 :D

I was addicted to WoT ever since and have read few other series. I have read the series as a whole only twice but have read each book individualy probably 5 or 6 times. I have also listened to the books on cd countless times. Im currently re-reading Fires of Heaven. My favorite WoT book is...whatever one Im reading at the moment ;D

I have listened to all the 4th age podcast and have lurked on these boards for a while, so, I decided to finaly register!

 

about me:

Im almost 18

Live in the beautiful state of Colorado

hobbies are: reading, listening to music, science, and making obscure WoT references that make people just stare at me and wonder if its time to call the psychiatrist again ;)

If you've been lurking around you probably know the board layout well enough to find your way around so I'll leave you to it.

 

Hi, by the way. I'm Justen, my (self-appointed) job is to make new members think I'm insane.  Because I don't want you all surprised by it later.  I mean think about it, three weeks down the line I post in a thread you're involved in and you're like 'man, that guys insane. I wish someone would have told me.'

 

Anywhoo, if you really want to experience the full community experience you should join an org.  It's a great place to meet people and generally have fun.  Check em all out and then decide which one would best suit you. 

 

JD,

In a welcoming mood.

[Jelly]

Welcome to Dragonmount!!!  ;D

 

Come over to the Wolfkin!! We're Dragonmount's nature org, and you'll have fun. *nods*  ;) You know you want to. You'll get TQ, and chilli!!!  ;)

 

Also. Shayol Ghul. *Swings chocolate in front of Locutus* You see, dear, you get the GALAXY chocolate bar if you join Shayol Ghul.

 

Whatever you do, have fun!!

And come to the dark side..

[Locutus]

Sorry Justen, Im not quite convinced you are insane, most insane people dont admit it...I think you are just jealous of us. :P

[Barmacral]

He's not insane, he's full of it. Just like me. I'm awesome. Bow down to my will.

[Justen Diablos]

*starts to bow down to Barms will then catches himself*

 

Dag nabbit! you always get me with that one.

 

Anyway you're right, I'm not insane. I'm insanely cool.

 

JD,

Cool

[Toy and Minion]

Welcome to Dragonmount, Locu!  :D 

 

Seems we have many things in common.  1) We love WoT!  2) We were both introduced to the series by an older sibling.  3) We're both nearly 18.  4) We live in Western US.  5) We both have some things in common.  6) Well...6.

 

Yeah...so, below are some Organizations you may want to check out.  They are small communities in which people of similar views can mingle and have fun.

 

The Aiel Org

 

This is a great org that has undergone some changes.  Come and have a look around.  Post a thread and ask questions (This should be done in ANY Org you are thinking about joining, if any), people will be glad to help.  You'll enjoy the fabulous Aiel drink, oosquai, just for posting aforementioned thread! :)  (the Aiel here are really just a bunch of softies ;))

 

The Band of the Red Hand Org

 

Come join the Music and Travel Org!  Have a few brews while you're at it.  If you like brawls, this is your Org!  A brawl can happen at any moment on any thread (though it is usually in a Tavern) and usually involves chairs, empty beakers, and miscellaneous items. ;D

 

Shayol Ghul Org

 

Join only if you like stabbing people and getting stabbed in return.  If you get offended easily, don't bother.  We're evil here.  No, really.

 

The White Tower Org

 

You can become an Aes Sedai or a Warder!  Gender matters not!  If you join the Warders, you can join one of three Disciplines.  (But Cuen'd'eren is best! :P)

 

Wolfkin Org

 

If you're wondering what the Wolfkin are, it's what Perrin and Elyas are.  Besides that, though, we are the Nature Org.  We love everything to do with wildlife!  And chili and TQ (tequila), of course. ;D

 

Also, you may want to drop by Fiddlesticks, home of Spam, conveniently located just a small way below the New Members board.  A place to just relax and have fun posting about nothing in particular.  Let your imagination run wild, but be sure to bring some tranquilizers just in case it gets too wild… >.>

 

Also, Organized Games is a great place to…er…play games! ;D  Not far from Fiddlesticks, the biggest game is the Mafia Game – test the limits of your brain to find the Mafia before they find you!

 

Above all, Locu, have fun, and don’t be afraid to ask questions! :)

[Corki]

Welcome to DM!

 

Firstly, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them and we'll be more than happy to help.

 

Now, DM has a lot of variety in what is available to members. Feel free to look around, but take an extra long look at the Band of the Red Hand ORG, DM's very own music and travel ORG. We review album, gigs and anywhere in the world that you've been to, and we are venturing into the world of restaurant reviews as well. The Band is a fun place to be...and you'll be joining the best ORG at DM. The Empy Awards don't lie! ;)

 

But whatever you do at DM, have fun!  :)

[Elgee]

Hi there Locutus, and welcome to DM  :D

 

Good to see that older siblings have their uses *winks*.  I've read the series a few times myself (just a few, mind you ... about 10 or 12 times only  ::))

I've found that the nice people in the pretty white jackets are really quite understanding about obscure WoT references ... although the phrase "May you sleep well and wake" sometimes makes them back up a bit ... what's up with that?  ???

 

Anyhoo ...

 

I'll just expand a bit on what DSage said about the WT:

 

Do you like to wield The Power, to be bonded or to bond or maybe just have a big shiny sword, but without creating and roleplaying a character ?? Then the White Tower (Org) is the place for you - come as yourself!

 

We from the White Tower (Org) would like to invite you to join us. We are a community forum: we talk, play, discuss serious matters, get totally silly - the WT has something for everyone.

 

You join as a Novice or an Algai, and can become either a Warder (Der'Manshima) or an Aes Sedai - we have female Warders and Ajah brothers! Each Ajah is themed (for example the Greens are the most social and the Whites like logic) and the warders are working on building new disciplines that look very exciting. You can bond, or not - whichever is your choice. Something interesting to note...the Ajahs are not always like the book ones. For instance... we Reds love men! (And we're famous for our snugglebites *winks*)

 

So please make yourself comfortable and have fun around here!
