Happy 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.

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?

Why were you looking at the forums if you've never played an oddworld game?

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.

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

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.

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

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

*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

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

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

Ok NOW i'll shut up .

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 )

:
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.

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

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!

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.
