Uhh... hi.

[Harrier]

I'm new. If you keep track of how people got here, I heard of this place from a friend, so call it word of mouth.

Anyways, I'm looking to improve my writing, so I'm here. Perhaps by tonight I'll have registered a character.

[Yari Rafanas]

Welcome to the site. Make sure you check out the FAQ's for tips on registering a character. My advice is to keep it simple, with a bit of mystery, a touch of style, and that way you can expand the character into anything you want as time goes on.

Welcome. If there's anything that I -- as a vet of the site -- can impart on the side of wisdom, is to keep an open mind. Always.

Oh, and stay away from Witchblade's poisoned cookies... If she still does that. >.>

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

Grittings and welcome!

[Harrier]

Thanks guys! Yari Rafanas, I used your advice and the stuff you linked to to make my character. I'm pleased enough with the results, so hopefully the aprovals moderator also is.

[Lightfoot]

If you want to add text to the URL to make it prettier just do this:
[ url = {input url } ] Wil Harrier(or whatever you want) [ / url ]

If you want. >.> And no spaces, of course.

[Harrier]

Thanks, that classed it up a bit.

[Lightfoot]

:cool: No prob, dude.

Greetings and Welcome.

1) Beware all things offered to you, for they might be poisoned.
2) Beware the resident trolls. Feel free to feed them, but know that you may not get your arm back.
3) If you need help, feel free to ask.
4) Mods have their names in Italics. Admins have theirs in Bold.
5) Serilliant is the head of Administration and rules this site with an Iron Fist clothed in Velvet. Cross at your own peril.
6) I'm a very weird person.
7) There's more, but I can't remember anything else you might need to know, and I'm sure the rest of the welcome committee will assist me with whatever I forgot.
8) Have a nice day. This is not an option, or a request. If you do not have a Nice day. I will send in the Wereclowns until you do have a nice day.
9) This site is addicting. You can leave, but no one leaves forever.

Hi there and welcome to Althanas!

Please keep your arms and legs inside the forum at all times or they may be removed by rabid, zombified characters. Do not feed the following people: Serilliant, Letho, Lord Anglekose, BlackandBlueEyes, Arsene, Max Dirks, Tainted Bushido and Christoph for they may become attached to you afterwards and are hard to get rid of. Any screams you may now be experiencing are the sounds of dying characters. Do not be alarmed for they shall be revived in new and inventive ways the following thread. Have a nice day. ^_^

*offers cookies*

[Lord Anglekos]

Welcome.

[Lady Blackwell]

-takes one of withcblade cokkies and casually eats it-

Welcome to the World of Althanas (wierd futurama guy voice)

i hope you stay around for a bit, and well once you start a thread you may think you have left. but really YOU WILL BE BACK

and Angelkosy do i have to backhand yeah? whats with the just blank 'Welcome'

get it in gear man haha j/k

anyways welcome to the site

and who said Witchblade's cookies were poisoned they taste just fine to me

[Harrier]

My plan was to feed Witchblade's cookies to the people listed above, since I've heard about the "poison" thing, but thanks for taking care of them guys.

[Witchblade]

*sniffles and pouts*

But... but... I swear, I stopped putting poison in them months ago. No one will listen to me!!!

[Lady Blackwell]

well i never believed there was ever posion... just never got hungry enough to eat them

tell now

[Aiko]

I only said things might be poisoned, I did not say they were...

[Visla Eraclaire]

I really wish that Intro threads would be about welcoming the person and not spamfests about poisoned imaginary cookies. It's really not the best way to make a first impression from the forum, especially when it all arises from a copy-pasted paragraph that's slapped in every thread.

In any event, welcome to the forum, Harrier. Best of luck with all your writing. Looks like you have already gotten your character approved and a thread going. I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you Visla. I like how you made everyone else seem like a jerk.

Run, everyone! It's the Quirky Police! Everyone start being boring and normal, quick!

[Witchblade]

No, not really. He's just good at making himself seem like a jerk.

*whispers* We've all learned to ignore him, kind of like we ignore Godhand. You just get used to them after a while.

[Visla Eraclaire]

Thank you Visla. I like how you made everyone else seem like a jerk.

Jerks? No.

My only real intention was to welcome you and show that not the entire forum is represented by the off-topic zaniness that generally fills up intro threads. If wacky antics are what you're here for, you'll find plenty of them, I assure you. I just like to stop by when I can to welcome people in case they aren't into that sort of thing, so they don't run screaming from the forum.

People have a tendency to immediately attribute insidious motives to me. As Witchblade says, it's something you "get used to."

[Lady Blackwell]

HEY! our off topic zaniness is what keep people coming back...

the newbies who are in it for fun will love our zaniness, those serious RP'ers who are no fun at all, like yourself

to not get or respect our zaniness Muahahahahah

and uhh .. Welcome again to the world of althanas

[Arsène]

Let's all remember to play nice, please.

Also, welcome to the site.

[Godhand]

Run, everyone! It's the Quirky Police! Everyone start being boring and normal, quick!

Don't worry, he's gone!

YOU CAN GO BACK TO ACTING LIKE A RETARD NOW!

OMG XD SO RANDUM WOLOLOLO

[Aiko]

Don't worry, he's gone!

Oh thank goodness!

*Wears a lampshade*

[Harrier]

Just so everyone knows, I'm here for the hatin'.

[Arsène]

Don't worry, he's gone!

YOU CAN GO BACK TO ACTING LIKE A RETARD NOW!

OMG XD SO RANDUM WOLOLOLO

See? This is an example of not playing nice. Other examples would've been insulting someone's mother or saying the Jews control the world.

We tend to avoid these things.

Are you part of the quirky police?

Are you part of the quirky police?

I'm The Althanas OOC Moderator. The quirky police don't have anything on me.

EDIT: Which reminds me. When I said play nice, I meant it. I don't like repeating myself, so I won't again (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=9794).

But they do control the world... :(
