A Belated Hello
« on: 03 Nov 2010, 19:31 »

I realized just now that I haven't posted an introduction thread.   :bash:

To remedy this situation, I would like to point out the following:

1.  I am a David Tennant fan.  There is no new Dr. Who.  The new Dr. Who is simply a myth propagated by the BBC in order to maintain the real Dr.'s identity as he lives a quiet, unassuming life and tries to stay out of history's way in Montana.

That's also how Star Trek: First Contact ended in my mind.

2.  I am a Douglas Adams fan.

3.  I am a fan of A. E. van Vogt.  I am not a fan of Tony Gonzales, despite the similarities in their writing style.  However, I do not hate Tony, and merely wish his writing style improves between now and when Dust 514 hits the stands.

I also hope that the tenuous strands of brilliance that I've seen threaded throughout EVE's backstory is not simply the idle imaginings of a delusional mind, and that there really is significance to the setting.

4.  I write a great deal of fiction.  I rarely finish a story.

5.  I am in love with the EVE setting, though I currently do not have a character in EVE.  This is a situation that will be remedied within the next two months, however at this time it is unfeasible for me to maintain an account.

6.  I am a proud father of two. 

7.  I feel far older than I am, and act half as old as I should.

8.  I'm also a fan of the Lord of the Rings movies, Tokien, and a great deal of fantasy fiction, though I have neglected to read much of the genre in the past decade.

9.  I consider myself a Transhumanist, though I think that many transhumanists have an overly optimistic view of humanity and artificial intelligence (and the prospect for both making a better, brighter tomorrow).

10.  There is no number ten.  It is, like the new Dr. Who, simply a propaganda move in order to make more money off of exchange rates.  :P

Oh, and I used to have a character in EVE who was of no consequence whatsoever.  8)

I would've preferred a bleated hello, but that'll do.

Especially given bullet #2.

*Esna watches the forum go nuts trying to figure out who your characters were/will be.*

Would you like some tea or coffee while we watch?

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Well, hi there. Beer is also an alternative to coffee and tea.
