New Member Introductions

[Mew]

Hi everyone.

I am Mew/Zerodius/Zerophex. Been lurking on the site for a while and finally registered.

I'm a member of the development team for a freeware game called "Mushroom Kingdom Fusion" and the author of many stories on many sites, including Fanfiction.net. I've also been drawing sketches, which I've been submitting on various sites.

From what I've seen of this board, I liked what I've read overall. I hope to bring a pleasant contribution to the board as a whole.

Have a nice day people!

[Blayne]

Hi, I'm also kinda new registered only a few weeks ago and already pissed off several people.

Hopefully I can fit right in and figure out how to interact without ticking people off.

Am a student of Political science aiming to switch to a Bachelors in Computer Sciences and currently an artist using vector graphics in my spare time.

[BLACKSUN2000]

Hi my name Is blacksun2000.

I like writing short stories and drawing. A few of you know that already.

I have been lurking here for a LONG time. Now I hope to contribute positively to the board.

I vehemently hate trolls.

[Tiwaz]

Greetings.

My nick you can see on the left... It is something I picked from comig ages ago. Apparently one of the earliest gods in Norse mythology.

As for me... Software engineer by trade and education, live in land of low taxes and warm sandy beaches known as Finland. (neither of those claims is true)

Very long time lurker but decided to register and see how much mayhem I can cause.

[d'Artagnan]

Hey, everybody.

My name (as you can probably see from the handy infobox on the left) is d'Artagnan, chosen for the fact that I like Dumas and because he's the mascot of my university (Xavier) where I am a freshman history major.

I've lurked here for quite a while, but have only recently (today) decided to get off my ass and try to contribute something useful.

[hunter5]

Yo my name is Chris I am in the US navy learning how to operate Nuclear reactors, but at the moment a volunteer tax preparer. I used to post as chr335 but lost that email so now I am hunter5. Got drag into here by the SW vs ST debates and never really left.

[ShadowDragon8685]

Hello.

My name is Nathan. I've been lurking SDN for longer than I can remember, I'd guess about two years now. I pretty much never stray out of the News & Politics forum, which I basically use as my distilled news outlet with a heavy dollop of hot sauce and entertainment on the side.

I've tried registering in the past, but it's always never worked until now. Mainly I tried pressing the "register" button out of pique as I'd seen a post in N&P which I thought I could comment on usefully, and was completely shocked to see that it worked. I do hope I haven't accidently earned myself a black mark, as my email is a gmail account, because I have no access to any other.

[Krisnack]

After a lot of lurking, I decided to join up. I hope to have a productive stay here.

[SapphireFox]

Hello, I have been lurking here off and on since Wong-Sama was updateing his empire site. I hope my time here will continue to be enjoyable and fruitful.

[Einzige]

Good afternoon to you. I'm Einzige, and my usertitle is derived from the rough transliteration of the German word for "ego" or "self" and taken from the title of the German philosopher Max Stirner's work Der Einzige und sein Eigentum, or The Ego And Its Own.

Other than that, I've been lurking here for many years - at least since 2003, and likely well before; in point of fact, I really can't remember when I first noticed this community, but it's been a source of information and entertainment to me for many years and, I hope, many more to come.

[Iosef Cross]

Hi. I have been lurking SSD.net for about 7 years. Always been a healthy source of information regarding sci fi and pop culture in general.

[Brother-Captain Gaius]

Your avatar is most agreeable. Welcome!

[Benedick-Arnold]

Hi, My name is Mathew, i'm 35, and live in Texas. It's been awhile since i've seriously played any Role Playing Games, but I really like what i've been reading here, so I had to register. I'm a US Army vet. Studied PolySci at University of Houston, currently a TV camera operator.

Some of my favorite Sci-Fi writers include Robert Heinlein, William Gibson, and the guy that wrote The C.A.D.S. series.

[Iosef Cross]

Your avatar is most agreeable. Welcome!

Thanks. Your's too!

[Prannon]

I've been around. I got introduced to this site a few years ago by a friend of mine in college, and I've been lurking ever since. I majored in political science and completed a relatively poorly written bachelor's thesis on the NATO intervention into Bosnia-Herzegovina. Then, I found a job teaching English in Korea and I've been here for about a year. I plan to remain for at least one more year before I go back home and study something computer or engineering related for a second bachelor's.

A hearty welcome to all new posters. I use this site for a lot of political commentary on things and it's been a real eye opener as far as thinking goes. It also gives me plenty of laughs at times.

[Midnight Hope]

Hey!

After some interest I've decided to finally set up a profile. I chose this particular user name because I was born at night (Not until 2am - but figured 2am hope doesn't have such a nice ring to it!) and Hope because that's what my real name means.

So here I am, midnight hope.

I love keeping my mind active, my time productive and my life fulfilling and peaceful.

[Lord Pounder]

Welcome to the board my sweet midnight. Glad to have you here. Mind the Monkeys, they bite. Just give them beer and porn and you'll be grand. Also don't mind Stark, he hates everything on principal.

[Midnight Hope]

Thank you pounder, love! Teh monkeys, they will bite! I will give away my beer but I will never give away my porn! I'll mind myself against stark... *has a fear*

Why go into close combat when you can fling from a distance?

[Temujin]

Well, now that I’ve finally gotten around to joining, I guess I should get my first post in and introduce myself.

Greetings everybody, my name is Temujin.

Like many, I’ve been a long time lurker here, pretty much since Mike started the board, and a visitor to his and the other related sites since long before then.

I’ve been planning to join for some time, just never got around to it as I’ve generally been more of a spectator when it comes to the internet. Hopefully that will change now!

[Eudoxia]

Heya all,

The name Eudoxia is something I came up while playing this interactive fiction game, Emily Short's Galatea. 'EUDOXIA' was Spoiler

the deactivation code for the statue (In the end I didn't know whether it was a robot or some statue brought to life by PLOT. I still don't )

And what else can I say... Well I enjoy browsing the internet, reading, writing, movies, etc etc.

[Invader Taz]

Hello everyone. The name Invader Taz is from a Invader Zim fanfic
I'm working on, but currently I'm having a bit of writers block so I
haven't gotten the first chapter after the prologue up yet.

Expect to see mostly in the SF, Game and History forums.

And as always: OBEY THE IRON FIST OF THE IRKEN EMPIRE.

That will be all for know.

[Malagar]

Hello

My name (as can be seen on the left) is Malagar.

I came here for The Salvation War, and have so far found the rest of the forum to be entertaining enough to join, though I don’t think I’m going to post much. (a combination of a lurker mentality and not being on enough)
