View Full Version : New to this sorta board...

Typically, I write. I write what's on my mind, current thoughts, events, and even rants. I write for pleasure and fun and I'm always thinking up new stories and ideas for various plots and adventures. It's what I do. Always thinking. Always writing.

As for an introduction, I'm just Jeff. Nothing special. Nothing explosive. I'll be an easy fit into a place like this because it seems fairly neutral and peaceful. I've seen a lot of boards get destroyed by flaming and pointless immature arguing and I'm happy to say, I haven't found any of that here - as of yet... ;)

If I had to tell a little about myself, I suppose I'd say that I'm twenty-three, soon to be twenty-four next month on the 17th. I'm engaged to a gorgeous woman and I live in Kansas. I work every 'frakkin' day, (For those of you BattleStar Galactica fans. ;) Lol ) except Sunday as a Granite Customer Service Lead. Pretty uneventful...

On my off time, if I'm not with Sarah, my fianceè - I'm writing, managing my own forums, or playing CounterStrike Source. ;) CSS is my vice.

Any questions or curiousities - please feel free to ask me anything. I'm not shy, by any extent of the imagination, nor do I get offended by internet bantering. So - you gotz' a question; shoot!

Welcome. Since a certain someone is temporarily gone, the cookies are safe.

Welcome Cookie?
*offers a tray full of cookies on a silver platter and a goblet full of milk*
It helps ease the decent into madness, but then so does a couple of whacks upside the head with a 4x4, or your favorite bludgeoning object of choice.

In all seriousness, enjoy your stay. Here's the keys to the mini-bar, the pool's closed for cleaning, it'll reopen on monday.
Happy hour is whenever the hell you feel like it, the bar is off to your left. You'll be staying in room 101, it's down the hall, and to the left. It's padded for your comfort, nevermind the screaming next door. If you need anything don't hesitate to incessantly pester someone until you get it.

Welcome, welcome. I look forward to seeing what you've got. First thing you've got to do is post a profile in the Character Registration forum, if you haven't figured that out already. Once you're approved, Althanas is pretty much your apple pie.

Welcome to Althanas. Beware the rabid spider monkeys, they're evil.

About time someone sensible enough to know what the frak a skinjob is showed up.

One thing I must make note of before you get confused: a lot of us have multiple accounts. Some of us use a single account as our main for most of our OOC chatter, and write with that one and the others. Others switch between accounts all the time and could post on any account of theirs on any given topic at any given time. Usually it's easy to tell who's who once you get to know them, though. I think the record for most accounts is held by my girlfriend, who has a total of about 22 or 23 accounts.

The Bloody Son
06-14-08, 06:57 PM
HAhahah, yes - I know what a skinjob is - sadly. I am a geek. And that would explain the 13,000 users, I'd imagine. ;D Lol. If a hundred people had ten accounts or crazy women with twenty ... ;) !! Lolol...

And my DESCENT (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/descent) into the forums will be just gravy, I can tell already.
Obvious typos are a major pet peeve... D;

I have a bat for rabid spider monkeys, also... >:B I come prepared.

All in all, thank you for the warm welcome! I'm excited to start up somewhere. And yes, Sweetest, I already posted my profile account and a brief intro post to begin where I'll be starting from. ;D

Karuka
06-14-08, 07:14 PM
Actually, a bunch of the accounts are spambots. I'd say the average number of accounts per user is something like five. Could be up to seven.

Don't worry, I type in two languages, English, and Typo. I'll try to warn you when I switch to typo.

Lololol. I'm just teasin' man. Typos are an every day thing. People who misspell there, they're, their and your and you're REALLY erk me off though. Lol.

How long does it usually take for a mod to accept the profile thread? I'm eager to get goin', but I'm stuck because of the ruling... D:<

Destrudo
06-14-08, 07:27 PM
Oh, weekends are slow. I wouldn't expect action until monday, depending on where you live, afternoon.

Though if your lucky, someone might respond to it before then. If your not the boards will crash and you'll have to start all over again. they actually did once too, before I joined.

The Bloody Son
06-14-08, 07:32 PM
Lamesauce. Seriously?

There aren't any mods or admins on, on the weekends who have the ability to skim and approve?! D;

Woe is me...

Karuka
06-14-08, 07:38 PM
It can take a little while to get approved, but our most active approvals mod is on vacation for the next few days. Maybe the other one will get to you quickly.

The Bloody Son
06-14-08, 08:03 PM
Bawls... well that's no bueno.

I suppose I'll just chillax here with all you cool cats until someone gets around to helping poor, lil, ole' me... D:

Karuka
06-14-08, 08:08 PM
In the meantime, you can browse other profile and continent information, browse the Crystal Ball to see what sort of writing scores well and what doesn't, pester the oldbies and get comfortable with us OOC before you plunge your poor character into this madhouse that is Althanas.

The Bloody Son
06-14-08, 08:25 PM
Ble! I'm ready to go NOW! Lol.

This isn't a madhouse, this is SPAr--..wait.

Anyone who knows what Ayenee is - KNOWS this isn't a madhouse. This is an elegant garden of bliss... Lol.

Get approved soon.
I wanna quest with you.

Welcome to Althanas.

:: With a winding swing and a narrowed eye, the batter grunts. An elbow high and a tilted head awaited the onslaught of the soaring monkey before the hard clap of wood and bone rings out. A sweat-pushed, power-stroke, muscle-ripping swing from the bat cracks roughly against the rabid spider monkey's skull and splits it open like a Japanese Exotic Buffet table - spilling brains, blood, and cute little MUNKIE gibbs across the forum in a Picasso-display of artistic talent. ::

Sir, yes - sir. I'm trying, but apparently the administration is ... temporarily unavailable. And danke for the welcome!

Winterhair
06-15-08, 12:03 AM
He's going to fit in just fine, gentlemen.

And the administration just responded. Go make the necessary adjustments to your profile, and then we'll talk about sex.

:D

I thought the sex talk was reserved for me. Bastard.

Oh yeah... welcome to Althanas. Yay.

I still love you, V.

Lololol. <3 I love you all.

Admin! Give me the go ahead, pl0x!

We could indeed just tag team her to shut her up, too?

Winterhair
06-15-08, 07:48 PM
Oh yeah.
I really like this guy. Approve him already Zook. If he power plays, I'll rape him. But I have the feeling that he won't, and that me raping him won't be rape at all. Dammit/Yessssss.

The Bloody Son
06-16-08, 05:02 PM
Lolol. Come get some, big sexy!

06-16-08, 09:11 PM
Welcome, this place really is a bit insane, but after a few years you tend to forget that it is... heh.

If you wanna get something going I'm game, I've been off for a few months now, but should be able to get back into the swing of things ASAP!

Peace fella and welcome again.

06-16-08, 09:15 PM
As was stated in my earlier post, the pool reopened today. Pleae, no more filling it with jello and encouraging jello wrestling.

Anyways, I hope your having fun now that your registered and all. Perhaps eventually, when the storyline is right, we can do something together.

06-16-08, 10:55 PM
so say we all :D great meeting you! I too live to write(though i'm about....nine years younger XD) and wish you well from this site. I am returning from a brief break to focus on school and do some soul searching. enjoy! ^^

The Bloody Son
06-20-08, 10:45 PM
Doop dee doo!

Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone. It's bad-ass here, so far.
Anyone else need some fillers for role play? n_n

I'm only in a soloish with 2 others and a spar. I could deal with a quest or something?

Destrudo
06-20-08, 10:47 PM
Someone had to drop out of a quest Mithra reborn was recruiting for. Though it's entirely up to her, (her because its a female character), I wouldn't mind seeing you fill up that empty slot.

Winterhair
06-20-08, 10:54 PM
Chee-yeah, because I owe Calx Vir a thread and Witchblade one too. :c Go ahead and take my spot, Jeff.

The Bloody Son
06-21-08, 10:41 PM
Link me where you need me.

I'll be out for the weekend; back on Monday! <3

The Bloody Son
06-24-08, 07:47 PM
Big Forewarning!

July 3rd through the 8th, I will not be around - due to I'll be having an imminent blast in Colorado, at a cabin, in Estes Park. Roughly 12,000 feet above sea level and out of reach to any mundane, life-limiting signals. <3

I will return late on the 8th.
For those in my fights and quest. I'm going to try ending the chapters by the 2nd of July, and those who wish to pick up with me for the shattered blade quest - Audio + Winter + whomever else, can...

Well, have fun for us oldbies stuck in classes and field works, then. Don't forget peekturz! :D

Young? I'll be 24 in less than a month. Closer to half a month, actually. But you can bet your booty that I'll be posting pictures. My finaceè will most likely snap a million and a quarter, so we'll be set on that front. ;D

It's here! I'll be able to post tomorrow at least once in both quest spots, but after that - I'm PERMA-AFK until July 8th!

EVERYONE! Have a kick ASS 4th of July!

Love you all! <3

Blow some shit up!

07-10-08, 10:29 AM
Alright, so I'm back from Colorado and it was amazing. <3

On the 4th, we launched TONS of illegal fire works. Joyous!
Tons of Artillery shells. Tons of bottle rockets

Then we were up at the cabin, passing through Estes Park.
Stayed at 10,000 feet.
Hiked 10 miles up to 13,000 feet.
Got caught in a 40° snow storm, including rain, hail, snow, thunder, and lightning.
Scary...

Crazyfun.

Now I'm back at work. wtfmate.

Winterhair
07-10-08, 12:11 PM
Wtfmate indeed! Glad to have you back.
As long as your going to be around in Fallien, lets do some questin' and get some Exp's and goodies. Anything your character wants/needs?

The Bloody Son
07-10-08, 01:20 PM
At the moment, nothing I can think of - but I'll definitely work with you for experience and random stuff that we can get. n_n! I can't think of anything I need right now except the level and some experience.
Maybe someone who will ACTUALLY fuckin' post on time instead of leaving me hanging for 2.5 weeks and while I was out on Vaca?! D; Wtfmate.

Winterhair
07-10-08, 04:11 PM
Wtfmate. -_- I'd most likely go insane.
As for the random stuffage, ahz was thinkin' about makin' a treasure huntin' thread to get artifact-like goodies. Nothing too big, but definitely exotic. Maybe something that could enhance your vampire abilities, like a blood shield or somethin'. Just tossin' it out there.
And why in he-el am I a speakin' lika dis? Eh, who knows. c:

I'm biding my time and waiting for Level 1, I suppose. Hunting for some quest items.
How the hell do you get XP in this place? D:

it's pretty simple. you finish a quest or battle then submit it for judging then you wait. judging can take a while, sadly.

just keep up the writing and ask for spoils and you can gain levels pretty quickly.
