Its great to have new members and I hope you guys are enjoying your stay!!! There are a lot of great folks here that can help you get the most out of your games, not only that, they are really friendly and love to discuss just about any topic suitable to the subject matter within each thread. ~:)

You were close, but new member BansheeBarron registered the 10,00th user name (you were 9,991st).

Keep posting; be friendly & helpful (as you have been). You'll be Member soon. Welcome! ~:wave:

Howdy Joker! A hearty welcome to you! ~:wave:

IMO, BansheeBarron should get a title like 10,000th member or member #10,000 for registering the 10,000th user name. ~D

Hey Joker, feel free to join the discussion, it's a free for all! :charge:

is there a set point as to when you become a member or will it just happen?
i was thinking it would be at 75 or 100 posts but i don't know for sure..

10,000th member would be a pretty cool title! ~:)

We don't use post count. We look at level of contribution, ability to "play well with others" , and continuing interest (measured by repeat visits to the site). In addition to running their own forums, our 30-member volunteer staff keeps a special eye out for new members and their contributions.

So, how can you influence that process? Keep doing what you're doing: visit often, contribute or help where you can, be friendly. It will happen.

thanks i'll keep being friendly and visiting often, i think this site is great...

I'll answer that, after this drink... ~:cheers:

Hey i'm new here, i play MTW and would love to try RTW but alas my computer is crap.(its a 1.7Ghz, 256mbram, 32 mb graphics card if your interested)

Welcome Leftenant!!! Do some exploring, there's some techies here that will make your "crap" computer run like a well-tuned gaming beast. The Tech libraries a good spot to check first. Get to know the folks here and they'll be more than happy to help you!!! ~:)

Hello Leftenant Moley and let me add my "Welcome to the Org!" ~:wave:

There may not be any Loo-tenants in your land, but in lieu of sending your post to Tech-land, maybe you could let us know a tiny bit more about your rig. 32MB vid is indeed stretching its ability to render RTW well...but it has been done. Please run dxDiag & post the report here (or in the Apothecary, our tech forum) https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=15
we'll get you sorted mate.

See what I mean Leftenant, you have posted 2 messages in the guild and you have expert help already trying to give you some help!!! I love this place. I couldn't get RTW to even install on my machine and these guys got it DONE. Just be sure when you get everything running, come back and tell us some battle reports. Again, welcome to the best TW site on the net.

**recieves 21 lashes from Creative Assembly**

err, I mean the best "unofficial" TW site on the net!!! ~D

Craterus, that's the spirit, a brand new member welcoming others who are almost as new as you. 90 posts already, a very active member. :bow:

Dave and AdrianII, couldn't you hold this 'fight' somewhere else, this whole thread is full of your posts, please move to frontroom. :whip:

Welcome leftenant moley, why don't you try STW (if you can find it somewhere, it's kind of old. ~;) ) in stead of RTW? it's great!

WELCOME joker and king ragnar!

btw: king R, if you become full member you'll get lots of more avatar's to choose, so keep posting! ~;)

drisos, there is no fight between Adrian and I, this is just the sort of friendship we have. You see, I'm always right and he's always wrong. Opposites do attract you know. ~D

Hi, I'm Malachi. I came across this site only recently, but playing MTW since it came out and have become an avid lurker. I was so impressed by Katank's Early Turkish blitz that I felt I had to join if only to say well done. ~:cheers: Please also permit me the honour of a bow to the noble Froggbeastegg for her unsurpassed scholarship; your work has proved most useful, especially in encouraging me to move from a production line approach to my armies to a valour based one. My victories are now sweeter and my defeats more comprehensible. :bow: I look forward to expanding my understanding of the game and perhaps even to contributing to it. I live in Cambridge, UK and work in the field of mental health.

Welcome to the Org Archery

ichi :bow:

~:) Welcome new members!!! ~:)

I'm a long time lurker. Just registered. And I just would like to say hello to eveybody.

People call me Batan or Bat. Either one is fine.

~:)

Hey everybody!

Ive been lurking for awhile in the org forums and just registered now.
Ive played shogun, medievil and rome on the day they came out and they are still some my favourite games. ~D

ps. Happy Easter ~:cheers:

Well, I have been here before, although the last time, according to this, was the 6th June 2004, which is actually quite some time ago. I was in charge of some wierd hybrid game where people took up roles as governors/generals etc of different provinces in MTW. Of course, personal problems and some unrelated problems forced me to quit that idea, which was annoying as it was going well, but as I have gotten over them (mostly) I have more time to dedicate to this site.

It is good to be back.

WELCOME BACK! you sure have been out for a while ~;) ~:cheers:
WELCOME BATAN! ~:cheers: enjoy the forums
WELCOME NobleRubberChicken!! ~:cheers: enjoy the forums

And good to have you back Grothgar.

Hearty welcomes to NobleRubberChicken (love the name ~:) )

and Batangueno, who we will call "Bat".

~:wave: welcome to the Org!!

Hi all. I have been a viewer of this esteemed forum for some time but have only just decided to contribute. The shame weighs heavy on me. :shame:

welcome jammy dodger! ~:wave: :cool4:

Greetings to all. I have been quietly browsing this forum for about 6 months now. I am in debt to Frogbeastegg for her comprehensive and eminently readable RTW Guide. Other threads started by many others have also provided me with useful information. My main purpose in breaking my silence is to thank the Guild and its members for sharing such a large body of generally excellent and useful RTW information.

By way of brief history, I am an old time internet gamer and an even "older timer" Avalon Hill and SPI war-gamer (the Squad Leader Series, Panzer Leader, etc). I enjoy real-time strategy games, delighting as much in the learning & employing of tactics as I do in actually winning the game - although winning is ALWAYS the preferred outcome! I enjoy RTW and play it online regularly, although I do so under a different ID (that I will be happy to share in order to arrange for a game).

Again .... Greetings and thanks.

~:wave: Olorin I

welcome to the org. ~D ~:wave: ~:wave:

Welcome Jammy Dodger and Olorin I to the Org.

Always good to come forth from the shadows

ichi :bow:

Wow. We have a host of new and (returning) members! (if I read that correctly).
Greetings to: Archery, Batangueno, NobleRubberChicken, Grothgar, Jammy Dodger and Olorin I!

Bat, I assume it's you from the .COM? (now we have KukriMan and BatMan ~;) )

BatMan lol, cool nick.. ~D ~:cool: ~:cheers:

Welcome everybody! BatMan, NobleRubberChicken -- LOL, I believe it's time to do a little reskinning of myself.

Welcome to the one and only .org!
Man, you'll be buying those other games before the next Christmas comes along. Five bucks now buys you S:TW/MI (Shogun + Mongol Invasion) and M:TW/VI (Medieval: Total War/Viking Invasion) won't be much more expensive soon. Check out the mods on the .org as well.

BTW the avatars are getting better and better. Oompalumpa... LOL! What's next?

Man the new folks have the best names!!! Welcome all and enjoy your stay. ~:)

i'm 15, just one year older, please say your age in the 'age' poll i posted a while ago.

Hi everybody out there,

I'm member for three weeks now. I am 39 years old (shock!!). I am very impressed of this forum and I am a big fan of Froggbeategg. Great work!!

I live in Augusta Vindelicorum, Roman foundation in the land of the Videlans (Celtic tribe). Today it is part of southern Germany.

RTW is fantastic. I really loved MTW, but RTW is much better!!

Looking forward for many discussions and informations!

Cheers!

Hi franconicus! ~:wave:
39 years old is not a great shock, most people seem to between30 and 45, according to my age poll.

Hi Franconicus, nice to hear you like several of the games.

When you're through with them, we have a list of hosted mods waiting for you. Some are not yet finished though. You might take a look at the threads for them and see what you can contribute. That's the way the .org works.

Nice one. Here's another one that is relevant to the Total War games.

'When a general complains of the morale of his troops, the time has come to look into his own.'
George Marshall about Douglas MacArthur, january 1951

Hello, everyone! I've been a Playstation gamer for years, but I just recently got a Dell PC powerful enough to give PC gaming a try. In the last two weeks I've gotten Morrowind and RTW, and both are sucking up so much of my time I 've hardly touched my PS2 lately.

I near Baltimore, MD and I'm a mainframe programmer/analyst with the US federal government.

I've always wanted to give strategy games a try, and I nearly bought C&C Generals (a modern day wargame seemed more appealing) but the reviews for RTW were so overwhelming, I had to go with it, and I'm glad I did. I'm still struggling through the prologue (being a first-time RTS player), but I'm having a great time with it!

My Dell is a 3GHz, 512MB machine that came with a ATI Radeon X300SE video card which seems to be doing an impressive job with the game so far. The only problem I've encountered is that the intro sequence freezes up on me every time, but gameplay is OK. I wonder how much the game will improve if I upgrade my video card?

Lastly, I thought I'd mention that my username comes from the the code for George S. Patton's 3rd army headquarters!

Welcome to the org ~:wave: ~D

I was once a PS2 gamer too but I haven't touched my PS2 in 2 weeks.. I've had RTW since Jan but I find myself going on the PS2 just once a week nowadays rather than the 7 times a week I used to in 2004.

Hail!!!!!!!!!!I finally registered and very happy about it

Welcome to the Org :bow:

Thank you, and indeed the sugar is good.

Hi there: Oompalumpa, Franconicus, Lucky Forward, IliaDN, and Gladius of Germania!

Cheers and balloons to each new member! :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2:

danke for the ballon.

How many posts do you need to unlock new pics for avater?

Welcome Gladius,

I think it is initially 200 and 400 and so on and so forth (but don't quote me on that). However, Tosa is implementing a new system where you can use your own personal avatar. Go to the Watchtower and look up the thread "Avatar selection" and post if you agree with the proposed maximum size and dimensions (as well as add any comment you can think of). ~:)

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

So then - let the games begin ~;)
