A warm welcome to various new users!

Please keep in mind that I can tell when multiple accounts log in from the same IP address. If you’ve created an alternate account for playing one of the games, just let @staff know so that we don’t get paranoid about socks.

Hi, everyone. Not sure if I was supposed to drop in here first. :cold_sweat:

I plan to be less active here than I was at *cough* the other place since I’ve made tons of progress on some of my projects by giving up my forum reading habit. :joy_cat:

What about if the “sock people” are paranoid about the staff?

Do the royal ‘we’ have terms of service that define and delineate how the powers that be will not abuse the power and the privilege that they wield?

We are currently working on these for this board. It is important to the @staff to make sure everyone feels like they are heard and welcome, and that there are rules that are evenly applied.

If you have ideas from the user perspective of what these should be, I, for one, would like to hear your ideas.

We are aware that a huge issue at BB was the lack of even application of rules on moderation and want to have some steps to take when there are problems that everyone on the staff is using and using in the same way.

The instant instance is: who has access to the nonpublic user info (e.g., IPs, emails, etc), and what guidelines do staff follow to protect and not misuse this sensitive info?

Did I make in time? or did I miss my departure?

You’d only be off-time, Mr. Collins, if you insist on subscribing to a unitary philosophy of chronology.

Bastard time taxonomies like the Julian Calendar are fiat currencies of the timecube.

Regardless of your proclivities: we welcome you to now.

A deep honor to be here. Thank You.

Which way to the library?

[Obligatory lounge act ambles up on stage]

Left that forum with a friend of mine
Gone two months and I don’t know why
Now I’m happy all the time
I can’t think and I’m feelin’ fine

Owl put me in a situation
Going through soft core mutation
Think you heard this all before
Now you’re gonna hear some more

I know a place where dreams get told
Hopes are raised if I may be so bold
Voluntary experimentation
Going through soft core mutation
I’m going elsewhere

Down elsewhere where the lights are low
To a place where all the mutants go
Posting things I never did before
Inside out and coming back for more
No one hocking any bamboo sheets,
New Bluetooth every other week
You put me in a situation
Goin’ through soft core mutation

Thought I should say hi.

I’m Brett, I’m a web developer, remote worker, husband, dad and board game player from Wellington, New Zealand. I’m @glutnix everywhere, especially Twitter.

I’m currently roleplaying an immortal bipedal moose named Maple Clamphoof in the Badass Dragoons of the Highlands forum game running at the moment. I draw derpy art for these things on my phone.

I also remotely GM a weekly Pathfinder group at my workplace at lunchtimes. We’re playing through Rise of the Runelords.

I like :cheese: and :computer: and :couch_and_lamp:

Don’t throw the past away
You might need it some rainy day

This isn’t my first arrival here, but I’ve been gone for long enough that I thought it appropriate that I post here.

To anyone who worried about me during my long absence (and especially to @Wanderfound for screwing up the Banestorm RPG in the Other Place): I apologize for leaving without any warning.

I have a bit of an obsessive personality, and I’ve found that cold turkey is about the only thing that works when I get obsessive, but that’s no excuse for not giving notice before I went cold turkey.

It’s been long enough now that I might be able to reset my usage patterns to something a bit more moderate (add opposed to resuming the old ones and trying to catch up on everything is missed in the interim.

How’s everyone been? What have I missed?
