We have a lot of newbies on the boards as of late, so I'm interested in how you found us and how you like this place. Please post your answers if you feel comfortable.

[Nowe]

So do tell!

Oh my, could it truly be story time? My selections match yours Maik.

I was directed here by Lyon, Armos, Carol the Fool and McDanil. They told me about RPG Frontier a while ago, but I wasn't really interested. Then yaddah yaddah yaddah, some depressing stuff happened, and I decided I wanted to check this place out and see what was up. So far, it's really been a joy for me to participate in all of the wonderful RP's on this site. The community is inviting, the moderators are helpful and it also helps that I know a handful of people that use these forums, too. All in all? I love it.

LOL, the Lyon option was definitely needed.  I'm a follower myself!

But yeah, love the site (obviously).  It has a unique look, the people here are awesome, and I've never had any better RPing experiences on other sites.  'Nuff said.

And half of the "Another person did it" was probably my cultists spreading the RPGF gospel...

I am a founding member, and I love this place!

[Durandal]

I was here since the initial migration from Revora to RPGF. (AKA a Founding Member)

Given the community I've been introduced to, I don't think I'll ever regret tagging along with Nowe.

I think it is fair to say that I am a founding member.

Also, I tend to be here a lot. Which would be odd if I hated this place. Obviously.

[Armos]

As  they say in Top Gun, "You've got a wing man in me" I'll follow RPGF and my fellow Brothers and Sisters in text based adventure anywhere other than that weird part of Youtube.

[Chef]

I think we can all agree to stay away from the weird part of Youtube.  It's a place where no man has gone before (and lived).  Even Captain Kirk wouldn't dare to explore its depths.

Is that a challenge? I think it is.

Whoever spends a full day there gets a cookie mailed to them.  First class mail from Chef, baby.

I was referred here by Carol, who was told by Armos, who I do believe was lead here by Lyon.

I never really knew that you could RP via text. So when i came here i was a little unsure about what this was and what I was to do. But I have since learned that this is an amazing community of people and that text based RPing is probably my favorite way to RP.

OK... I have an intredasting story to tell everyone. The Origins of Bleach (Burrichi).

SO! I found my way here through a daring journey that calls forth images of... great wilderness trekking and wrestling bears. Yes, it was harrowing indeed. But to the story at hand!

There was once this little site named Pandemic Studios. There, almost four or five years ago, I met a Shepard named ThElderGod. I chose to denote him as "TEG" for shorthand. From our first meeting, I knew he was wise beyond his years, and began a rather fantastical friendship with this TEG. Years would go by, about two in fact, and we would make countless (like three) sites together in an attempt to splinter from the slowly dying Pandemic Forum. A pilgrimage of extreme effort was placed, and with our fellow Pandemites, we escaped the burning forums and founded Soul Games Society (SGS), the last hope of our kind to exist in peace.

And that is when they arrived. TEG came to myself and a colleague with tidings of another bastion. A bastion of roleplaying games. I was baffled. Perhaps... we were not the only ones of our kind after all! And so, I journeyed to this new plane of existence named Revora, only to find it gigantic in scope and size. However, after a single day of serving within its government, I noticed how akin to the Holy Roman Empire it was, and shuddered.

I could not serve in a government so spread and divided. It frightened me, and so I left back for the old forums I had always called home. There, by TEGs masterful hand, I was introduced by a splinter group from Revora. They were the harbingers of a new realm. A frontier even. The leader called himself Nowe. The ethereal light he gave off was blinding on first meeting, however I and this almighty administrator from a far off land shook hands (figuratively), and forged a bond of friendship that has continued to this day.

I also met his right-hand general, Redcoat. His flamboyant apparel did nothing to detract from the hidden, nearly endless well of douchiness he had, yet was compensated for inhuman amounts of logic and kindness. I formed a bond of friendship with him as well.

Lastly, I met the Silent One, named Vithar. Or Maikeru. I don't remember his native title... But since we met, I knew we would become fast friends due to a mutual interest in the history and culture of a certain far off country.

Knowing these people, a new binding contract was born! Our two planes of existence (after I created Legacy Society) were hence connected in affiliation. Our worlds are connected, bringing a blend and mix of cultures, and new peoples together as one continuum! Still, great pilgrimages occur annually with members moving from one site to the next. Affiliates have grown in number as well, creating a vast expanse of worlds to visit.

A golden age began and ended. War has come and gone, and I just completely derailed there.

Yea, that's how I found RPGF. =P

[Chef]

And then you met Chef.  There was much rejoicing.

[Vithar Megilaglar]

Yay.

[ThElderGod]

That was significantly entertaining if I must add.
