Hullo! :3

[Nachende]

So, I randomly mentioned that I was looking for a place to roleplay, and a friend of mine randomly mentioned that he saw a place called Althanas that looked cool -- so here I am! How do?

I've already put in my registration -- hope it goes all right! Also, if any of you recognize me from another website ... I have no idea what you're talking about. >>

[Nirov]

Hey, welcome to Althanas. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or any other member that offers up help.

[Elijah_Morendale]

Why hello thur! Welcome to the fray!

Oh dear, another cook? Christoph and Krugor better watch out.

[Bullet Witch]

Indeed. Let the cooking festivities begin!!!!!

Btw, i'm also Whiteshadow and Seth_Rahl, so if you see those two its moi. :)

[Moonlit Raven]

Welcome to Althanas, glad you found us. ^_^

*Holds out a plate of freshly baked brownies* Have a brownie and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

[Nachende]

Woah, quick replies! ^__^ Thanks, guys! <3

Yes! Cooking festivities! Iron Chef! Hardcore meat locker fights (with salt & pepper) GO!

Hrrm, questions, questions... Well, I'm pretty sure I've got the character thing down, and the posting thing and all that. How do you guys tell time here? How do you know which thread takes place before or after another one, or who's in what place when?

I've come out of Alleria (bloody and black-eyed), so I'm familiar with fluid time or liquid time, but I don't see timestamps on your threads.

How freeform is this place? Can you make up whatever you need on the spot? Who decides the effects of a character's actions? Information like that would help greatly. :)

*edit* BROWNIES!!!! You found my weak spot, and so early in the game, too. T_T

[Elijah_Morendale]

Seriously, I want to see the Salvic Supreme chef Christoph face you in a cooking competition. My character can judge, but the winner will more than likely be decided through bribes and other such in-character trickery. ;)

And I believe that the timestamps you are looking for are posted right above your name and EXP/GP. Also, a lot of people (myself included) make up most of our posts and stuff on the spot. The effects of a character's actions are usually decided by whoever will be affected.

Like, say I send back a bowl of ramen because it doesn't taste right. You, in your frustration towards my ignorance of your totally radical cooking skillzzz, hurl the bowl of hot noodles at me. It's up to me to decide whether or not to duck and let it sail over my head harmlessly, or if I want a nice bruise on my forehead.

[AdventWings]

Oh, noes. A competition for my Neko Ramen Vendor! O_O

Welcome to Althanas from your friendly neighborhood (Other) Bazaar Kitty, Nya~!

Alleria, aye? Ah, well. You're forgiven. :D

As for the time stamps, it's right above your username in your posts. And you can be as free-form as you want. There are a few rules to abide by, which are...

* No Power-Gaming
* No God-Moding
* No Unapproved Bunnying
* No Not Having Fun

The last one is a must. :D

EDIT: Gyah~! I hate it when you Ninj4 me, Elijah! *Slaps you with a giant blue marlin*

[Nachende]

Bring it on, I can take him! ^___^

Ah, so threads take place in the order in which they are posted, no exception?

Best analogy ever, and very helpful (I adore this method, btw). Although, I wouldn't throw the bowl at you and risk harming innocent, polite future customers. I'd step right up and give you a nice hot noodle shower. :3


Alleria, aye? Ah, well. You're forgiven.
I have yet to forgive myself. T_T


No Unapproved Bunnying
What constitutes unapproved bunnying? I know you don't control another person's character, obviously, but where's the line drawn?

I also have to say, the fact that threads here are focused on writing, character and story just gives me the chills. Why didn't someone show me this site sooner? Why? :< *is sick of one-line wonders with uberpowers and mary sue syndrome*

[Nirov]

Ah, so threads take place in the order in which they are posted, no exception? That's more of an OOC thing. Threads occur when you say they occur. I could make a thread now that takes place ten years in the past. We allow very liberal liquid time for story purposes.

[AdventWings]

Well, it's just a rule of thumb that Elijah has shown you when he ninj4'd me. :p That was what I meant, although you can bunny another Player Character or their NPC if you talked it over and they allowed you to.

Which reminds me... I may now need to bring Rose over here from another site. She'll give you the Ramen Battle you might want! Bwahahaha!

[Cyrus the virus]

Hello Nachende. Consider PMing everyone you ever talked to on Alleria and having them come here, mmkay?

[Artifex Felicis]

Welcome to Althanas! I'm the Bazaar Kitty. Raven/Adventwings is the other one.

Moreso just a reminder, but you have 300 gold in credit that'll need to be used before the month is up. Yay gifts!

Still, glas someone found their way to Althanas again, and I hope you stay fora while. We cwazy here.

[Ataraxis]

You look familiar. I may have stalked you once!

Or fifty-nine times.

Welcome to Althanas! Everything here is special, you'll see. Especially our brownies.

Enjoy your new home! You can check out any time you like, but you can never leaaaaaaave.

[Reiko]

hihi and welcome^^

I hope you have lots of fun and drinks.

It's really nice to see a cook that cooks food that I like.

Hopefully we can RP some time.

[Whiteshadow]

Goddammit, Ataraxis, using lines from "Hotel California" is MY thing!

^^

Oh, hi.

[Zook Murnig]

Ignore the rest of them. They just showed up one day and we haven't been able to get rid of them.

Caduceus Grimaldi, resident Qaballistic Magician at your service. No pork. No meat and milk in the same meals. That's about it for my kosher tendencies, so cook away!

[Witchblade]

Ohh, I want to be a judge in this cooking contest, sounds like fun. Reminds me of the cook-offs you could do in Suikoden II.

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: Cyrus the Virus, Artifex Felicis, AdventWings, Serilliant, Letho, Christoph and Slayer of the Rot for they may become dependent on you and are hard to get rid of. Any screams you may now be experiencing are the sounds the dying characters. Do not be alarmed for they shall be revived in new and inventive ways the following thread. Have a nice day. ^^

*offers you a plate of cookies, which is good! but some of them are poisonous...which is bad*

[Nachende]

Thanks, all! *offers popkes, caek, and huggles to everyone* Feel the luff! <3

[Witchblade]

*makes sure no ones looking, then stuffs Jiala into a bag and drags her off somewhere*

[Nachende]

O.o Nyuuu!! *flails!* I'm being kidnapped! (do I know you? this feels very familiar) :3

Mya, thanks for the approval! :D :D Unfortunately, my friends are coming over to visit from the north (they'll be here in an hour! we're going to the haunted penitentiary!) so I won't have time to start playing until they leave tomorrow. T_T Don't forget me! :<

[Artifex Felicis]

I need to start being proactive in my conquests of other people. Witchy always gets the head start, what with the kidnapping and all.

*sad and hugs anyway.*

Either way, you'll also find Althanas is a fairly patient place, just keep posting!

[Moonlit Raven]

*glomps Witchy* No, don't steal the new person!


Oh, err, ello again. I'm the 'other' bazaar mod. Dun worry about me shedding on you I just nibble a little. :p

[Witchblade]

Who knows, I've been on a lot of other rp boards in my time. :p

*has been glomped*

...

*makes sure no one's looking then steals Jenn*

[Nachende]

Yaaay! Hugs! <3


*makes sure no one's looking then steals Jenn*
WHO ARE YOU?? :O You know my name! Furthermore, you know how to SPELL my name! Evil stalker! *points!*

..... *is stolen!!*

[Zook Murnig]

I do believe the Witchy one is referring to one Moonlit Raven. >.>

[Elijah_Morendale]

Please, can we all refrain from all these kidnappings?

Wait until we lull her into a false sense of security first, ferchrissakes... It's far more fun that way.

[Witchblade]

Nah, I like to get them right at the beginning, that way they develop those strange bonds with their kidnapper... I can't remember what it's called.

Oh, and Jiala I actually was referring to Moonlit Raven, but now that I know you're name to...

*plots evil*

[Ataraxis]

Stockholm Syndrome!

And now I'm definitely sure I know you, Jenn!

Be careful after midnight... there are no hardware stores open!

[Nachende]

Bah, I can take you all! :< *puts 'em up!*

Moonlit Raven, you have my name!! :O

[Witchblade]

o.O

>.>

*throws a bunny at the other Jenn... err, Jiala*

[Nachende]

BUNNY!! *snatches it out of the air, runs!*

edit: I thought of a question! *grins proudly*

If my character decides to learn a new skill, how would I go about gaining said skill and changing the profile appropriately?

[Artifex Felicis]

Hyper-active = Check
Insane = Check
Amusing = Check

You're part of Althanas now!

*gnaws on new jenn*

Have a good time here, you won't be leaving anytime soon.

[Godhand]

You know, I've always wanted to ask this question to female writers new to althanas: how does the nerd rush here compare to other sites? I mean apart from the obvious (no girls on the interbutts, it's a trap, etc.), how would you rate the quality and quantity of the billion nerds who charge you shouting tits or gtfo as opposed to, say, Allerion?

Edit: To answer your question, you don't. Not really. I mean you get the skill if you quest for it and it's approved as a spoil, and you can use it as soon as that's done. But there's no need to put it in your profile as soon as you get it; you do that at level-ups along with any other updates you choose to make.

[Nachende]

*flails, has a nekosommat on her arm!*

Thanks for the answer, Godhand! <3

As soon as you guys started replying to my intro, I immediately felt right at home. ^^ The community here feels just as enthusiastic and intelligent as the cool kids back on Alleria (I still keep in touch), and that's what I've been pining for in the past rp-less month. T_T I actually haven't gone through the motions of joining a site like this in a very long time, but I can truthfully say that I've never seen a 4-page-long introduction thread -- nor can I say I've been hugged, kidnapped and gnawed on so quickly by a group of strangers (at least I think you're all strangers >>). You guys win out there. ;)

Eat that, Cory.

Joking, of course. Words are very difficult to swallow. Too many angles.

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

Not if boiled and tenderized properly.

I've heard that adjectives taste better when marinaded.

[Nirov]

Yes, but now I hate you all so much.

It's a trade off.

But at least no one got pregnant this time.

[Zook Murnig]

But at least no one got pregnant this time.

We won't know that until the test results come in.

[Nirov]

Well, lets at least hope they're not under aged again.

[Red Lightning]

And then you find out that the baby is really a althanastic zombie bred from stupidity and hate. Specifically Nirov's hate. And Zook's stupidity.

With a pinch of my randomness thrown into the whole spermy mix.

Hello to you too.

[AdventWings]

I just noticed you are a Neko, Red Lightning.

And for that, you are unforgivable. Unforgivable!1!11!!onethousandonehundredandone!

*Chops Red Lightning's head off with a fillet knife*

And "The Althanas Sometimes Witty Words" for today is...

"I know who you were yesterday."

Yes, Seth Rahl. I know it's you. ;)

[Red Lightning]

Lmao I know I'm me too. Neko's rule, bastard. Of course i'm gonna be one. ^^
I'm gonna be the best EVVA!
*naruto moment*
BELIEVE IT!
*cough geek cough*

[Godhand]

Whoa whoa whoa! you don't have to take any shit from Cory, kid, even if you do have a girly avatar. You need to man up and tell that queer to blow it out of his pummeled asshole. Hell, I'll do it for you this time. But next time you'll have to do it yourself or else you'll never learn.

Hey, faggot! I'm glad that you took time out of juggling some dude's balls to post on here but maybe you should go fucking catch AIDS and die instead, alright?

See? It's that easy.

Edit: Jesus Christ, not another fucking furry...

[Nirov]

Well, Godhand; while I do commend you on your need to stick to that wilted six shooter you still cling to, I must ask you get some better values.

It may be alright where you live, but impregnating teen girls who think you're taking them backstage at a concert is no way to live life.

And I'm not talking the Rolling Stones or Beatles from your generation. He took her backstage at a Green Day concert. It's not exactly hallowed ground to be conceived on.

[Godhand]

Green Day?

Pfft. You're on your fucking own, kid.

[Red Lightning]

0.0 And I thought I had problems. I was proven wrong, apparently.

*bring popcorn and furry female friend*

Aight, lets get this party started. *dance music pours out from boombox*

Although I have to agree w/ Godhand on that one...Green Day? Puh-lease.

[Nachende]

o___o

Rammstein! :D

[Red Lightning]

Now that's bitchin'.

[Zook Murnig]

Allow me to set the record straight and explain what's going on to the newbie who began this thread.

I am a 19 year old father of an almost 8 month old little girl. Her mother is 17 years old. I did not impregnate her at a concert, and most certainly not a Green Day one. We were together for over a year and a half, and we still maintain a semi-friendship. I help out any way that I am able with our daughter, I play with her every chance I get, and I give her mother money every other time I get paid. That entire paycheck.

And, Nirov, I'd appreciate it if you kept certain comments to yourself about how you think Kaleigh was conceived. I will not, however, reduce this legitimate thread to a flame war between the two of us, and I am sure you would not want that either, given your position regarding spam.

To the new blood: Welcome to Althanas, where the resident Qabalist has the ability to impregnate women (and some men) with a mere touch.

[Reiko]

and no, none of my Kits are from him.^^

*makes a note to keep away from zook*

*pounce huggles new Jenn*

Sorry for the bad chi... er ki^^ we're only human, well most of us and I'm human enough.

[Red Lightning]

Oh, so that was what this was all about. >.< I just went with the flow. Congrats on your daughter, btw Zook. "Were together"? You guys broke up afterwards? I'm sorry to hear that man...

yes, newbie, we can be crazy here, but as you can tell sometimes the craziness can sweep you in to drama. Grab a rowboat while you still can.

edit: Ninja'd by a samurai. Nice. >.<

[AdventWings]

Dude, that's bad omen.

*Glares at Red Lightning*

They're still together. No bad-mouthing people, mmkay? ;)

*Whacks RL with a giant mackerel*

[Zook Murnig]

They're still together.

Err... No, we aren't. Elizabeth broke up with me in June. I'm with a certain beloved FEMALE Althanian now.

[Nirov]

Hush Zook. You promised not to say anything. *blush*

[Nachende]

Thanks, guys.

Now I know who to keep chained to my wall, who to poke with a very long stick, and who to put on my hit list.

*checks it twice, nods*

[Elijah_Morendale]

*wonders what list he's on*

[Red Lightning]

I hope I'm on the chain list. *whistles* Kinkiness has always appetized me. ;)
