G'day All

[Senexx]

G'day all.  I am Senexx!  I am Australian!!

 

I have been reading WoT and re-reading it for years now. I couldn't possibly tell you when I started - mid to late nineties maybe.

 

I re-read all the other books before I read The Gathering Storm.

I flew through books 1-7 and struggled with book 8 but I made it and recently read TGS in a little over a week.  It flowed smoothly.

 

I'm male.  My age is inconsequential. This time around I find quite an affinity with Egwene.

 

Now that I have finished TGS I feel empty and I guess that is why I am here.

May you find water and shade  :)

 

I know that feeling, since I am going through the series for the 3rd time, and no one to talk about WoT around me. I feel satisfied here.

[Amadine]

Heya! We Aussies will takeover DM eventually!!!

 

Where you from? I'm on the NSW North Coast :)

[Senexx]

NSW Central West

 

West of the GDR (Blue Mountains)

[Amadine]

Nice! Is it freezing out there yet???

[Senexx]

not yet, the days are quite warm and the nights are starting to get cold.  Some say we've had our first frosts, others doubt it.

[Bela_theDo]

And I am sweating here! BAH indeed  :P

[Amadine]

BRRRR frost = cold LOL

 

Our days are still aroun 28C and nights only getting to around 17C.

[Senexx]

Not sure about our nights but our days are about the same.

[Bela_theDo]

It does not erase the fact that I am sweating  :P

[Senexx]

That's OK.  My reply was to Amadine.  Best that you said BAH though and not BA lest I mistake you  ;)

 

On a more serious note:

 

I do not understand the Social Groups.  Take the WT Social Group for example.

 

It says

 

we focus on creating friendships within our Ajahs and Disciplines, and promoting unity & cooperation here at DM and in the real world.

 

but what does that mean?

 

Advance apologies as this may be the wrong spot to make such a comment.

 

[Bela_theDo]

I think it is not. SG are not for RP. They are here to discuss, spam, friendship and so on. Join the WT,really, it is fun  :) I am in BotRH,The Kin and Aiel  :)

[Amadine]

The Social Groups are just that social. SOme of them are for specialised interests others are more friendship based. Head on in and have a read of the threads at the top of the page to get more info. Personally i am a Novice in the WT and a Darkfriend at Shayol Goul. Lots of people are active in way more groups than i am though :)

 

The RP boards are for those who are interested in Role Playing in Randland, they are fun too :)

[Bela_theDo]

Fun and takes too much time than SGs, novice-sissy  :) I personally wont find time over reading every one of them to understand what is going on in RPs, and then create a character,then start to write with them  :)

[Amadine]

I love the RP side, but then i love writing, and immersing myself in Randland is even better :)

[Corki]

Welcome to DM!

 

I think some of the descriptions for the Social Groups could be out of date...maybe because of changes in staff in certain ones. I do know the Band one is pretty much up to date, but I will mention this in the Staff Board that it might need looking at.

 

The easiest way to describe a social group is that they are groups picked out of the books that focus on certain themes (i.e. Band of the Rand focuses on Music, Travel and Eating Out) and an area to make friends. Each has a host of different activities, so feel free to nose about.

 

And do not hesitate to ask any other questions - we will do our best to help answer them. :)

[Senexx]

I haven't been here as long as these dates indicate have I?

[Senexx]

Wow, those dates - in my case - are correct.

 

Amadine, if you're out there (and I know you are) and happen to read this, I am wondering what the best way to contact you is since this forum doesn't seem to have a PM system. At least not one I can find.

[Amadine]

I'm here :) I'll PM you and you should be able to reply to that :)

[Senexx]

Thanks replying now, I hope

[Senexx]

No idea why I'm posting this here.
