I have arrived

[Anthile]

First, I have to admit that I am one of those nasty lurkers. I discovered this nice Forum about six months ago, but I didn´t dare to register here, because, well... I feel a bit sheepish about registering anywhere. It always costs me quite an effort to do so.
Second, as you may already suspected, my English is not very good, because - *drumroll* - I am not from an anglophone country, but from good ol´ Germany.
To be exact, from a small town near Dortmund in the western part of this country. So please, don´t hate me.

It´s in the nature of introductions, that now I have to tell you rather unimportant stuff about myself. Well, let´s get it over with.
I am twenty earthly years old, unemployed (and currently looking for a new apprenticeship) and I have countless (and sometimes even odd) Hobbies (just like every INTP, I guess).
Actually, I´m half-German, half-Croatian and together with my terrific INTPness
you can guess that my youth was not what "normal" people would call nice.
But I do not want to complain. I am tired of complaining.

I am here to find something like a new home. Just a place to be.

Huh, I just hope I didn´t forgot something important. Feel free to ask for further information.


May I find interesting and enlightening discussions (yeah, I already know the ropes here).

Hi Anthile... so it was you all that time watching us? Making the back of our necks prickle...

...a disembodied brain floating in a cathedral!

No wonder we were getting the creeps!

Thank god you finally delurked.

Yes, but it is a nice, fluffy disembodied brain in a cathedral. Just look at the halo.

And thank you for the warm welcome.

 

[Kianara]

Welcome, fellow former lurker! Doesn't it feel nice to come out of the shadows?

I must say though, that brain is indeed interesting. What's the story?

 

[Melkor]

Go back to the mudhole you call home.


That is all..

-waves amiably-

 

[JoeJoe]

Yay! Another German! I think with me and Ogion we are still only 3 Germans in this forum. I'm from near Cologne and Ogion is from Gießen but currently in Göttingen (I think).

 

[Anthile]

Indeed, I feel much more like a free man now.

Well, the brain is blatantly stolen from this article. It´s about this topic.


@Melkor Do you have any prejudices against mudholes? Just curious.

 

[Ancalion]

Welcome. Don't worry about grammar, i'm not from an anglophone country either.

 

[Ogion]

Hi and welcome.
Yay, i can cut the rest of it, since you already said it yourself!

You're welcome here, no matter how your english is (actually i find it understandable enough)
Leben viele 'Deutsche mit kroatischem Migrationshintergrund' () bei euch im Ruhrpott?

@Joe: I'm from Bonn (and Eitorf an der Sieg) and now currently in Giessen

Ogion

 

[saffyangelis]

Hiya! <Another halo? Are you going to be an engel (HA! I remembered German for angel) too?>

 

[Da Blob]

Welcome. Don't worry about grammar, i'm not from an anglophone country either.

Weel, I'm from Oklahoma, the Buckle of the Bible Belt. And apparently there is s some question as to whether an Oklahoman could be considered an anglophone....

Welcome, however, I might warn you some of these INTPians have the strangest ways of expressing affection....(?)

 

[Jesin]

Welcome to the forum.

So, how much did you lurk? Discover anything useful?

 

[Fukyo]

Hi and welcome!
What made you register after so much time spent lurking,if you don't mind me asking?
Watch out for Noddy,saffy,lor and Melkor.

 

[Ancalion]

Welcome, however, I might warn you some of these INTPians have the strangest ways of expressing affection....(?)

That's just trash talk. We express affection.

 

[Anthile]

Welcome to the forum.

So, how much did you lurk? Discover anything useful?

As always, I was looking for myself and deeper insight. Some days ago then, I felt the urgent need to register here. I discovered many interesting approaches here, yes.

Hi and welcome!
What made you register after so much time spent lurking,if you don't mind me asking?

That is a very interesting question. Maybe it was just time for a change.

Watch out for Noddy,saffy,lor and Melkor.

I decided to like them... so far.


Thank you both for the nice welcome, but now I kinda feel like a shabby voyeur due to the lurking.

 

[Melkor]

I highly enjoy your signature by the way.

You're still a moron.


-tosses an axe Anthile's way-

 

[Anthile]

You're still a moron.

I´d like to say something similar to "You´re not!", but I really suck at lying.

*pours hydrofluoric acid on Melkor´s face*

 

[Melkor]

-dodges the acid toss and takes a hack at Anthiles face-

 

[Anthile]

*parries the cut with his teeth and pierces Melkor´s left shoulder with his right forefinger of doom*

 

[loveofreason]

*applauds*

This is a most auspicious beginning to your career here Anthile.

 

[Ogion]

You made your way into the ranks of the crazy murderers pretty fast
You may proceed to The Arena...

Ogion

 

[Melkor]

-Slices the hand on his shoulder clean off, and runs off with it giggling-

 

[Anthile]

*looks in complete bewilderment where his hand was and after few seconds an evil looking tentacle grows there out of extradimensional protoplasm* *throws some sharp-edged, non-euclidian rubber balls at Melkor*

 

[Melkor]

-dodges-


-Shoots a fireball in retort-

 

[Anthile]

Maybe we should relocate our... strife to a more... appropiate location?

Perhaps someone has something very important to say and it just gets lost here. I wouldn´t forgive myself for that.

 

[loveofreason]

I must say Anthile, I admire your style.

(Just announce your intent to meet him in the arena and go make yourself a thread there )

 

[NoID10ts]

Hello and welcome. Melkor and lor are idiots. It's best to ignore them. I, on the other hand, am the very heart of class and dignity in this place.

* quickly turns and throws acid in Melkor's face and pushes lor down a flight of stairs. *

 

[Anthile]

So, another meaningless thread with an horrible amount of even more meaningless, alarmingly vivid descriptions of gory-spitting violence, that will give even sane adults nightmares until eternity and beyond?
Sure, why not.

 

[loveofreason]

That's the spirit! Be sure and share the gore with that blue guy.

 

[NoID10ts]

Yeah. Lor likes it rough.

 

[Melkor]

Someone said strife!!!!!


-Is in actual fact the keyword for Melkor to fall over and become passive-


-THUD-

 

[saffyangelis]

Hey Noddy, If Lor and Melkor are idiots, then what am I?

*Glares* Am I not good enough for you to mention?

*Stabs Noddy in the shin*

 

[Da Blob]

*parries the cut with his teeth and pierces Melkor´s left shoulder with his right forefinger of doom*

Oh Gee Wiz Guys
Can't we all just get along?

 

[Ogion]

I believe that is theeir way of getting along just fine

Ogion

 

[saffyangelis]

It's the best way of getting along with someone, trying to kill them.

 

[JoeJoe]

Then you don't only have to go along, you can also go over, across, carry them or leave them behind. You have so much freedom!!

 

[Jesin]

Anthile. Your signature. Maplestory?

 

[Anthile]

Anthile. Your signature. Maplestory?

I do not play Maplestory. I found this signature on a Diablo forum.

 

[saffyangelis]

Maplestory = good or not?

 

[Jesin]

Not.

 

[saffyangelis]

kk's.
Why not?

 

[Chimera]

_________
____________

There's so much better stuff out there.
Maplestory is just...not.

[Jesin]

It's pretty much a standard MMORPG, but it's a 2D sidescroller.

 

[saffyangelis]

oh, okay.
I thought the graphics were pretty, and so I was wondering what it was like.
