Hi
 
Hi I've been looking at the forums for some time and I thought it looked good.
The sad thing is I've never played an oddworld game before!
But I'm hoping to get one like strangers wrath.
So I hope you'll like me as a member.

Nate 12-16-2009 02:56 AM

Welcome to the forums!

Pre-empting what I know other members will ask rather less politely, but why were you looking at the forums if you've never played an Oddworld game?

hellfire 12-16-2009 03:00 AM

Well I typed it in on the internet randomly thinking something silly would come up(I typed in oddworld) and I looked at some websites and wanted to try it!

Wow! You're an admin! What do you do?

1.What i said to Nate.

2.Ok will do.

hellfire 12-16-2009 03:08 AM

BTW Welcome.

What does BTW mean?

Nate 12-16-2009 03:15 AM

BTW = By the way.

And, as Ridg3 said, please do not double post. As admin, it is my job to keep the peace and enforce whatever arbitrary rules take my fancy.

Ok i will remember that but why aren't you allowed to double post?
EDIT:I saw on the rules that you're not allowed because of spamming but now it's making me confused.

Wings of Fire 12-16-2009 03:22 AM

Because you can edit your post instead.

Ok thanks.
Are you allowed to give posrep saying thanks to someone?

Wings of Fire 12-16-2009 03:24 AM

You're allowed to give rep for whatever reason you want ;)

I'm not the newest member any more so be nice to the newbie.

slig# 5719 12-16-2009 03:48 AM

Hello hellfire. Welcome to the forums.

so many questions already :). That's good.

I have only played the first two games; Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus, myself.

Wait... Your 12!!!
That surprised me, i'm not used to younger people who don't shout OMFGNOOB! Every few seconds :p

This is my third forum that I've been on. But the reason i have so many questions is 1. I don't want to get on the wrong side of someone and 2. Is that the other forums I've been on are very different to this one.

hellfire 12-16-2009 04:27 AM

What do you write in blogs?

I haven't been on any other forums besides this one (Yay for non-conformism :p) so I wouldn't know.

As for the first point; I entirely understand, I did a similar thing myself :D.

*Starts talking to self* Hmm... Maybe I should have put this post the right way around...

To show I am in fact sane here are some wise words of wisdom:
"Knowledge is knowing a Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."

I'm rambling on again... Best if I shut up now :p

Oh, Blogs well... basically something that has happened in your life. Although I don't think they're used very much for that here :p.

(Again with the sticky out tounge oddicon. I need some new ideas.)

Ok NOW i'll shut up :p.

Ok this is gonna be my last question(I hope!)
Am I the youngest member?:fuzconf:

hellfire 12-16-2009 04:42 AM

Slig# 5719 can I call you sliggy? Should I just ask you questions in PM's?

EDIT: Woops! I double posted!

slig# 5719 12-16-2009 04:56 AM

My vow of shutting up has been broken... Already.

Slig# 5719 can I call you sliggy?

You wouldn't be the first to ask that.
I have so far been called; "sliggy" and "hash"
You may add more at your lesiure (Knowing some members I may regret saying that :p)

Should I just ask you questions in PM's?

Nah... It's best to let others answer too. I haven't been here for very long. They should start appearing in a couple of hours. Around this time is when the forum is slow.

hellfire 12-16-2009 05:01 AM

I'm only on here at this time because Mum called to say I was sick. Obviously she called the school! So later all the other members will be on?

abeglukkon 12-16-2009 05:16 AM

Hello hellfire and welcome to the forums.

hellfire 12-16-2009 05:21 AM

I got some rep but it had a purple square! Why did it have that?

On the computer when you should be at school, naughty, naughty :p.

Ha, I didn't even notice, even though it was so obvious.

A few of the members will be on soon. But don't be fooled, there aren't as many active members as the forum says there are.

I think a purple square means no rep points.

I am sick, well I've just got a sore throat, but that counts!

EDIT: Do you have to have rep power to give rep points?

EDIT EDIT: Sorry for the rayman avatar but I've never played an oddworld game!

slig# 5719 12-16-2009 05:37 AM

I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Although I wouldn't get away with it so close to the Christmas holidays.

Yes you need rep power to rep someone. Otherwise you will just rep them by 0 points.

In order to answer your next most possible question: You should get your first rep power point after about 50 posts (I think). However posts in the welcome threads (such as this one) don't count.

Oh so I'll have to create a thread that's not in this part of the forums. thanks I'll post in forum suggestions.

Anyone who doesn't immediately recognize that this is a troll is a blind fool.

hellfire 12-16-2009 07:25 AM

What's a troll?

OANST 12-16-2009 07:33 AM

You. I would be surprised to find out that you don't have Multiple Sclerosis.

this is what i thought as soon as i saw him put "wow. you're an admin. what do you do?" or something like that. who has that good grammar, has apparently been to many other forums as stated, and yet does not know what an admin does?

and it isn't me, this time.

Well I am a bit dumb.

MeechMunchie 12-16-2009 07:56 AM

I'll play along with it for now. Welcome, Hellfire. Please don't double post; trolls are members who annoy people for the fun of it; Administators are the Heads of OWF, enforcing the rules. Enjoy your stay, HF. You seem like a nice boy. However, I am disappointed that none of you noticed that you need to EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT THIS ODDWORLD THING IS.

MA 12-16-2009 07:58 AM

That was quite an oversight on our part. I'm glad I didn't notice it, though. Nate would have negrepped my face off for bringing it up.

hellfire 12-16-2009 08:09 AM

Drmopzodiac is definitely a troll. Did he get banned? He did get me mad!:flames:

MeechMunchie 12-16-2009 08:12 AM

No, he got sick of the fact that we had all dealt with trolls before, so he resorted to PMs, at which point I managed to talk him into leaving.
