Hi,
I've been watching and reading the forums here for years. (I think sometime between Shogun and MTW came out.) Finally took the plunge and registered.
Want to say that I appreciate all the information and especially the thankless work the moderators do. (I do that stuff for another website) You guys run a tight ship and it shows. :yes: :2thumbsup:
Anyways, just wanted to say Hi so that "please post of the first time" feature will change. (Great idea by the way. :beam: )
Welcome Daaraa!
Welcome! :2thumbsup:
Welcome Daaraa, good to see you join us. I think that's the longest lurkdom I've ever heard of!
Feel free to post even more than once ~:)
Welcome Daaraa!
Hello Daaraa.
Welcome Darra!! :thrasher:
Thanks.
I think I am a true lurker. I guess I just figure you guys are the experts, why clog your forums with my questions that have already been asked and answered 4 times over. :dizzy2: The search feature enabled for non-registered people is what kept me lurking.
So, how many posts do I need to make here to be allowed to post in other forums?
Welcome to the Org, Daaraa! :bow:
Promotion to full membership isn't really based on the number of posts you have. It's more determined by the *quality* of yours posts, not quantity; your overall participation & attitude are factors as well. Basically, just continue being the pleasant individual you are, and you should be promoted in a few weeks or so. ~:)Quote:

In fact, the game-related fora have been open to junior members for some time now, it's just the miscellaneous that require promotion (and for Tavern Backroom access you need to apply as well, but that's usually just a formality).Quote:

As Ludens has just pointed out (which I should've done myself), most forums here are actually open to junior members; only the message boards in the Miscellaneous section require full membership to participate.Quote:

And Welcome be thee to the humble halls of the orgah civilization. May you soon find you destined place among us. :bow:
:inquisitive: Couple of questions then, what is the gameroom and who are the mafia?Quote:

Welcome Daaraa ~:wave:
Enjoy your stay. Although with this community I don't think that willl be a problem.
The gameroom is one of the three divisions of the tavern, a members only location way at the bottom of the forum (considering the backroom, its for a good reason...) The mafia is just the most popular game series in the gameroom, and has been for a good year. There are always new ones, and there are always seats available. When you are promoted, you should come check it out.Quote:

Welcome Daaraa ~:wave: Besides interest in TW games we have something in common : a mortgage.
*sigh*
~:cheers:
Welcome Daaraa!
Welcome, Daraa. And to think I thought I lurked a long time -- you have me beat by a wide margin. There should be some sort of award or badge for such an achievement ...
~:wave: PLAY MAFIA ~;)
I'll look into it.
But I think I need to be a good boy first. :clown:
We can hook you up....for a price.:evil:Quote:

While you are a Junior Member though, you have to get yourself a promotion first. You can do this nice and quickly by simply sending a Private Message to Sasaki Kojiro who will also place you in the game of your selection, which has to be in the sign-up phase.
Once you are in the game, and promoted, simply play away and enjoy every second of it!
Award: Longest Lurking Person:
Daaraa.
I can already see it before me.
That would be funny. So if someone wanted to beat that they'd have to start now and lurk for 6 years or already be lurking and just waiting. :bow:
Pretty sure it was six years. I know it was before the attacks in NY and Shogun had been out for less than a year.
Yesterday a few minutes after I posted I got the error message. I'm sorry if I broke the website. :help: It's not my fault I got a pooped Win98 computer at work. I really meant no harm. :embarassed:
It's Ok Darra, it's not your fault - the server semi-randomly decided that it wanted to cause some chaos by burning the database at that time. It wasn't anybody's fault.
The punishment will be severe :whip:Quote:

:devil:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I really didn't think it was my fault. It was just really freaky.
I pressed the post button.
I go to the next screen saying post is successful.
I then get all hung up..........so I try coming in from the homepage again.
And poof, error. :oops:
Anyways, another gaming community I'm involved with just had our server moved around but we are missing all data from mid-may to mid june. And yeah, it felt like a major disconnect. I'm only a minor admin there but it sure hurt.
Well since we are on this topic, Daraa, wow..i did it for about 2 mo. Nice work! And, as you said with your first post up there, as i was "lurking" i noticed all the trouble you guys go through to manage such a nice comunity! Thats saying alot from someone who lived in Detroit:sweatdrop:
Ha ha ha!!! I still live in Detroit, very far Westside, one street from not being in Detroit and being in Redford. Once spent many years on the near Eastside, Chene St. and Warren Ave. area, a warzone more or less, a very high crime and arson rate, very bad, about 1.5 miles east of WSU, What' Sa' matta U, Wayne State University, the largest U in Michigan, and my alma mater. :2thumbsup:Quote:
