Having been poked with a shocklance repeatedly...

[triadruid]

Here I am. Finally on the forums, so quit hounding me, eh? :P  ;D

 

Lesse. I tried to pick a neutral username here, so you get my blog's title. My biggest online WoT presence is as an admin over at A Wheel of Time Wiki, on wikia. I know there are other encyclopedias out there, but we wanted to take an in-universe approach, and so far it's been going well, if slowly. Okay, glacially, of late.  ::)

 

In the real world, I've met several of you at Dragon*Con for the last 3-4 years. If I'm costumed out for WoT, it's usually as "Twitchy the Asha'man". Picture from this year:

.

My next big costume is going to be Sammael as Lord Brend, if I can ever find the Light-blessed fabric...  >:(

 

Started reading the series in high school in 1991 with TEOTW, dropped it for a few years, then got all four of the books for Christmas and it was off to the races. I've pretty much read them 12! times by now (that's factorial, not emphasis - yes I'm a bit of a geek).

 

I'm a little unclear about all the fine details of DM so far, so I'll be starting slow. Questions welcome, I'm no good at these introduction-type-things...

[JenniferL]

Welcome David! It's very nice to see you here. I'll let everyone else jump on you regarding explanations and "Join my Org!" nonsense. =)

[Barmacral]

I remember you. And so you aware, we do have a member of this forum named twitchy, so they aren't always referring to you.

[triadruid]

Sure, that's what they always say... *twitch*

[Liitha]

welcome, and have fun exploring DM is huge so there is plenty to find here...from discusion to org to RP..and one nuttier then the other :P

[Corki]

Welcome to DM!

 

Have a good explore at everything the site has to offer! You are bound to find something that interests you!

 

Again, welcome, and have fun whatver you end up doing! :)

[Raena]

Welcome to DM! I totally read that as 12 factorial, guess I'm a geek as well.  ;)

[Naeann]

I remember seeing you at Dcon too.  I also see that we are from the same city.  (You mentioned it in another thread).  It's nice to find other Kc'ers that are fans as well.

 

Welcome to Dragonmount.

[Dragon21]

Welcome....

 

I suggest following Nae around...she knows all the good spots.

[Loreina]

:) Welcome David, glad you gave in to the nagging! Have fun visiting all the Orgs.

[triadruid]

I suggest following Nae around...she knows all the good spots.

If she's going to wear that little skirt around this town, I'll be d*mn sure to follow her!  ;)

[Dragon21]

haha

 

Aye, she often wears those skirts  ;D

[Naeann]

If I looked like that in them I'd wear them constantly.

[Dragon21]

*hugs scarlett....I mean Nae*  ;D

[triadruid]

Hrm. I didn't see a 'Help' or FAQ location for the forums, so I guess I'll have to hijack my own thread to ask a few things:

• Is it possible to increase the number of posts you see per page of a topic? 12 seems awfully short to me...
  
• Apparently in the changeover from phpBB to SMF _{(which I keep reading as Secret Masters of Fandom)}, the 'Add yourself to this org via [tt]Forum Options>Usergroups[/tt]' concept went away, right? A bunch of the Orgs still list this as their instructions, but maybe I'm blind and not seeing how to do it myself.
  
• It's insinuated in one or two places that you can join more than one Org. Is that accurate at this time?
  
• Are the offsite Org/RP boards still active, or have they archived? _{Don't shoot the messenger, I read all 237 pages of the announcement by Kath...}  :-\ I only ask because I can't really justify adding yet ANOTHER forum/board to my busy social schedule...  ::)
  

[Naeann]

*hugs Dragon* You can call me either.  I've started responding to Scarlett because of Myndjack anyways babe.

 

 

Ok Triad...

1. I have no idea.  Let me know if you find out.

2. No that is no the method anymore.  Depending on which ORG you are looking to join.. some have threads saying if you want to join post here or something similar.  Some ask you to pm a certain person.  I'd say look for the sticky threads about joining but apparently some of them have outdated info. 

3. Yes.. you can join any and all Orgs that you wish at this time.  I don't know if or when that will ever change.

4. Most are not active anymore. It again depends on which Org you join.  One in particular is still very active.

 

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.  :)  I'll help where I can.

[Corki]

It looks like Nae has answered all your questions.

 

It may be an idea to let Barm know which ORGs still have the 'Forum Options>Usergroups'' sign up option. Then he can get the ORGs to change it.

[Barmacral]

To the first one: We'll need to check with Matalina/Segurant/Jason on that. I don't think we have an option to change it ourselves, but they might. I'll look into it.

 

The second and third... what Nae said

 

To the fourth, All orgs should no longer have offsite boards, any offsite boards that are still there are no longer affiliated with DM, the Band excepted, and they are working on that with Jason.

[Liitha]

no more offside boards but offsite info pages still exsist well with the exception mentioned lol

 

but you dont see all boards, as you are joined into usergroups the rest of the boards pop up, thus you dont have to go crazy over unesicary boards ;)

[Cadsuane]

I approve of your use of subscript as an alternative to parentheses. It looks good on you. As for joining orgs, I suggest you PM me and tell me you want to join the Seanchan. And by suggest, I mean do it now.

 

Oh, and, welcome, I guess.  ;D

[Emperor]

I love when Caddy brings out the leather and whips....

[triadruid]

I approve of your use of subscript as an alternative to parentheses. It looks good on you.

Much appreciated.

As for joining orgs, I suggest you PM me and tell me you want to join the Seanchan. And by suggest, I mean do it now.

Funny, I have this allergic reaction to Aes Sedai telling me what to do. Hence the signature... :D

 

Barm: I'll send you a PM when I re-discover which Orgs still reference the old instructions. Nevermind, all references turned out to be in old threads from July 2007 or earlier.

[Corki]

I know Barm has brought it up in the Staff Board.

[Cadsuane]

Funny, I have this allergic reaction to Aes Sedai telling me what to do

 

Is it hives? Because if you join the Seanchan family (and by family, I mean the mafia kind, not the "daddy-touched-me-in-a-bad-place" kind, though sometimes Paityr will touch you in a bad place), we can get you truckloads of boosted Calamine lotion. Mmmmmm, calamine lotion...

 

 

 

Also, I'm no Aes Sedai, just named after one.  ;)

[Justen Diablos]

First of all her breasts aren't sweaty they're wet.  I like to think from a nice morning rain...that she happened to be out jogging in a bathing suit in. 

 

Second of all I'm two and one in my fantasy football league.

 

Third of all Cads isn't an Aes Sedai, she's a beautiful long legged mafia Capo.

 

Fourthly Daniel Tosh is the funniest man alive.

 

Fifthly I am the second funniest man alive (It's on my resume right after my appearances in porn)

 

Sixthly you can join as many orgs as you want but remember it's better to do one thing with your whole heart than ten things half arsed

 

Seventhly When was the last time you heard seventhly?  never? I thought so.

 

Eighthly I would second that you join the Seanchan, but I'm not sure you're cool enough.

 

Ninethly, did my insuation that you're not cool unless you join the Seanchan work to make you join the 'Chan?  If so, why? if not, why not?  Explain your answer in no less than two sentences and use the word salatious (preferably properly spelled when you do it.  I don't have to because I'm special (like short bus special))

 

Tenthly, Welcome to the Circus, I'm Justen Diablos, and I fairly rock.

 

JD,

'Chan
