Introduce Yourself!

[ThatNickGuy]

Hello? Is this thing on?

I kept seeing some of y'all pop up on my steam, so on a whim I decided to check if this place was still alive. Color me surprised, but here I am, back again from long ago. Happy almost-new year!

 

[Wahad]

How ya been, buddy? As long as 2016 hasn't taken me the doors are open. And if 2016 is a dick, there are steps in place to keep it running in my absence.

Pretty good, old man. I shoulda figured you wouldn't let this place go so easily. It's good to be back.

Heya, still playing DF?

 

[Wahad]

Not in ages. Kinda quit when Toady put in the new medical system, it finally got too complicated for me.

 

[Gus]

Hello my name is Aries and I just joined this place. I think I will go have a look around.

 

[Emrys]

Fresh minion material!

Hello Aries. Welcome!

Are you really a ram?

 

[Dave]

Welcome, welcome!

Hello Aries. Welcome!

Are you really a ram?

Are you, perchance, questioning our newest member? Calling him a liar?

 

[bhamv3]

Are you, perchance, questioning our newest member? Calling him a liar?

What? No! No, I... I...

Aww crap, I've scared off another one, haven't I.

 

[Simfers]

I think it's your piercing stare. Look at that face, man, who could withstand those peepers?

Welcome. Please be advised there's really quite enough animal-based forum personalities around here already, so please choose a different schtick to differentiate yourself.

Quiet, bird-brain. Let the ram do his thing.

 

[Bubble181]

bird-brain.

That's rich, coming from a parasite.

 

[Gus]

Hello Aries. Welcome!

Are you really a ram?

Thanks, no but I play one on TV.

Welcome, welcome!

Thanks!

I'll get right on that boss.

 

[Bubble181]

I'll get right on that boss.

See folks? Finally someone who recognizes my position and authority.

 

[Dave]

I feel slighted.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I, for one, welcome our new owl overlord.

 

[Bubble181]

I feel slighted.

I'm sure I can find a place for the old and wise adviser.

Well, you may have some competition from @Grytpipe-Thynne, I guess it depends which of the two characteristics I want to stress - his wisdom or your age

Ehh, I would, but I saw the doomies setting this up earlier

so I don't think his rule will last long enough to be worth the bother.

I could tell it was a rogue faction by the fact they didn't have their Queen's intellect at their disposal. Their lack of threedimensional awareness will be their undoing, as I flew out.

Funnel lid. You can get in, but you can't fly out. Thanks for the lock though - I'll be sure to attach it to the door of your new cage.

That bird just ALMOST looks like it's holding a shotgun under it's arm/wing/whatever

Yes. Almost.

Aw, gee, tanks Bubble.

 

[Gus]

So... Who is Hal?

 

[Emrys]

Oh dear gods, he asked! Everyone, head for the underground bunkers!

 

[GasBandit]

So... Who is Hal?

Actually, halforums is a portmanteau/modification. Half-forums, because we were formerly hosted at halfpixel.com before our benevolent hosts decided they no longer needed a forum and shut off the power and locked the doors on one fateful thanksgiving day.

 

[Dave]

Well, it was SUPPOSED to be Halfforums, but somebody did a typo when making the site.

[Gus]

Interesting way to land on a name for this place.

 

[Zappit]

We have quite the little history - and the resiliency of cockroaches.

Clark, we need you!
