Post by: JoshuaFH on August 23, 2009, 06:21:16 am: Hey, how ya doin'?

You know, you were participating before the name change, it's not like it's more official now.

Stany's a nice name though. How do you pronounce that?

Stain-ee?

Stan-ee?

Stan-eye?

Stain-eye?

Post by: Jackrabbit on August 23, 2009, 08:13:07 am: Aha! Forward thinking! This is why we don't have a meet and greet section. If someone actually starts his own, you know he's gonna do fine.

But for the love of God, seriously don't feed Sofia. And Martain is actually rather cuddly. And I hold Oldbeard in my iron grip so he has to do what I say. I can make him hug you if you want.

That there is the problem. Sofia and Okenido always seem to draw out fetish discussion. A discussion that the Adams brothers don't particularly want here.

What isn't Sofia?

I'd make some kind of joke at this point about her being the forums pet girl, using the well known implication that girls are very rare on the internet. That kind of falls down here where we actually have quite few girls and one has infact already posted in this thread. Well one that I know of, possibly even more.

Sofia is someone you don't want to run into on a dark night. Or a bright night. Or daytime.

Unless your into that sort of thing.♥
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Luckk on August 23, 2009, 05:20:41 pm: Hello Stany, welcome to the forums. What is with everyone and being scared of Sofia anyways? She doesn't seem to be that weird of a person, confusing maybe, but not that bad. Either way, its probably me taking everything to serious but once again, welcome.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Cthulhu on August 23, 2009, 05:24:57 pm: Okenido got banned? When did that happen?
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Cheeetar on August 23, 2009, 05:27:40 pm: I thought Okenido just got muted for a while, and then made a big thread (in another forum) about he was leaving because ThreeToe and ToadyOne were unnecessarily censoring him.

Ask Inaluct, if he's still active. He drew near everybody a penguin avatar of their choosing.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: JoshuaFH on August 23, 2009, 05:31:10 pm: The incident where she was muted was awhile ago, she was banned for real just a couple days ago.

Here's Toady's statement:

Quote from: Toady One on August 13, 2009, 04:38:22 am
I just removed and edited a bunch of posts. Despite the title of this thread, please do not use that as an excuse to derail it. Okenido went into his or her anime-shota-pedo thing again despite previous admonishments and has been banned permanently. Please refer to the forum guidelines.

She's still hanging around New VN though, kinda sorta.

Yesh, but Yanlin is a lost cause.

Few days ago?

It was more like 2-3 weeks ago.

You obviously didn't see the "stuffe" before.

I'm not scared of Sofia, she's my hero.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Jackrabbit on August 23, 2009, 06:50:40 pm: Yeah, I guess we have given Sofia a supernatural status. I hearken back to the days when the Various Nonsense board was active, and she was just a guy who played Russian Roulette a lot. And lost, repeatedly. Okay, so a bit scary.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Vester on August 23, 2009, 06:55:37 pm: I've counted the tropes that you guys have so far applied to Sofia.

Currently, they are Psychotic Smirk, Nightmare Fuel, Names to Run Away From Really Fast, Memetic Sex God, Memetic Molester, and Memetic Badass.
[not linking 'em because, well, Tropes Spiral].

From what I've seen of her she could probably fulfill all of them at the same time.

In comparison, Aqizzar just has Authority Equals Asskicking and Made of Iron.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Jakkarra on August 23, 2009, 06:56:38 pm: Hello Stany!

Nice to meat you.

what tropes apply to others in the forum? (me :3)
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Jackrabbit on August 23, 2009, 06:57:17 pm: I'm certain there's also one about a beard of authority that could apply to his chin.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Jreengus on August 23, 2009, 07:02:32 pm: Sophia and Aqizzar are beyond tropes, they are tropeless! And I would kill to be either one, but as it is I'll have to settle for stalking one of them. But which one?

Muhahahahahahahahaha!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Sofia, of course. She's a girl.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Vester on August 23, 2009, 07:06:08 pm: Hmm, checking tropes against the forum members would be interesting.

Maybe someone should make a topic!

also, Sofia seems nice. as does most of the forum. i still don't really see why she is considered frightening.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Jackrabbit on August 23, 2009, 07:10:32 pm: She's a friend, so she's not that scary to me. Woe betide you should you get on her bad side though.

Um... Stany, I welcome you officially to the Bay12 forums... I'd like to say we're not normally like this, but I'm not really sure that's true anymore. I used to be able to say that, but now I really don't know.

Eh, cheers.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone

Post by: Zironic on August 24, 2009, 02:53:02 am: This thread became derailed after the second post. As for the forums, They are very specific. You can find a great amount of tips and tricks from the community section if you find the game challenging. There's video tutorials (Captain Duck's infamous 40 part series - http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=28477.0). If you want to keep up with current developments - almost daily is an update here at the dev_log (http://bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_now.html). The community is very social however I will warn you about topics that usually cause flamewars - Multi CPU support, UI dicussion, Graphics Discussion, pretty much everything - mentioning Oblivion, Fallout 3 in the Other games forum ends up pretty bad.

good luck at enjoying the forums.

Zironic.
Title: Re: Hello, everyone
Post by: Jackrabbit on August 24, 2009, 02:56:28 am: I guess it's because if a topic is 'hi!' we don't have much to discuss and so the whole thing derails pretty quickly. It's good to meet you new guy, other topics aren't like this. Fear not.
