The transition team has drafted a new document of Guiding Principles and New Rules for our community. These rules will go into effect on November 25. 2024.
I just noticed that @Sassori did not put her name on the list at all, so that's TOO BAD
@Sassori - I am the reason sassori joined the boards so you are ALL WELCOME, and she is a great friend and helped me a great deal during grad school, and we've had some great board game nights and it's a big reason that I miss DC.
Well now my opinion of @Langly is that he is a jerk because he's going to make me cry.

@Langly Feel free to talk to me anytime! I love talking. Conversation is excellent. Words are very necessary unlike what those fucks Depeche Mode might think.
i do not know if any of you have ever like...introduced the forums to a person and then they started posting but that is a height of anxiety that I have rarely dealt with.
oh nooooo what if they post and everyone is mean to them, I have to see this person like every day, oh nooo what if they think it's the worst and think i'm dumb oh noooooo why did i talk about this with her ahhhhhhhhh
i seemed to have threaded that fucking needle, though.

Now imagine that anxiety in the 2004 version of the forums, where "everyone is mean to them" was a complete inevitability
Really? Why did Sassori join this forum to see the horror for herself?
Because @Langly is addicted to his phone and was constantly posting here while also carrying on conversations with people in person. I was curious.
My first real experience with the forums was actually while Langly and I were on a field trip in NYC and he got @Crwth his hat and he was telling me all about you fine people.

When meeting people at PAX I was using both names to introduce myself, to the point that it was really tempting to start saying, hi I'm Graham, but in some lands I am known as (Dr. Orpheus voice) THE GRRRRRREEEEEEEY GHOOOOOOOOST
That's a good strategy. Every time I have to tell a real live person in meatspace that I'm The Hanged Man, I feel the need to apologize for the Me of 20 years ago, who registered it on the original Mage: the Ascension forum because it "sound[ed] hella occult."
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

what if someone....... goes through my post history
Things are so much better! I am over most of my money troubles and am dating a wonderful girl who gives me the honeyglow something fierce.
I notice every time I change my avatar people stop responding to me as much as they do when they recognize the picture in front of the post. I take this as a challenge to make good posts until people recognize me again.

I mean it's one of the major arcana so it's p occult
@Speed Racer your stupid metal gear streams are the best thing to happen to (my intersection of) this forum in a while. hanging out with all you dorks is great fun and i thank you for it. i don't know how you stayed/stay motivated to grind through all of that stuff. i am jealous of your ability to focus on something and actually get it done, and especially how you're trying to teach yourself to make a game, which is something i gave up on a long time ago. 4.5 stars out of 5

Sassori Fact: I made money in middle school by pretending I could read Tarot Cards and giving readings to my classmates. I proved my "knowledge" by pulling the Death card on the same student 23 times in a row.

When ms chincy started reading the forums I had a god damned heart attack like once a day for several weeks
Thankfully she enjoys that I am a huge dork with dumb opinions
Sometimes I'm surprised that @Langly was ever willing to be my friend because he reveals all of these secret anxieties and I just do whatever the hell I want.
He is the Tina to my Louise. (Complete with weird zombie butt fanfiction.)

she saw me posting in class and was like what's that and I was like uhhh...it's a forum about...stuff?
and she was like oh huh guess I'll join and I was like
You told me to join!
ahhhhhhhhhhhh
i probably wrote secret thread like 50 times in that post
it's the first real tragedy of the decade
The episode about Louise's first crush really resonated with me.

Maybe someday I'll go back to the M.A.S.K. gif or laughing Homer covered in gold.
