Author Topic:   Welcoming all newcomers (and others)

BoomBoom posted 12-20-98 02:00 PM ET
Hello, welcome to SMAC (Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri), make yourself at home. This is a forum for all people of all ages and political opinions, but it generally goes down better if you respect somebody else's opinion. Now, the people that have read some of my early posts, know that I did not always follow this rule, and that in doing this i did offend quite a number of people (Destrider, Aga1, Saras, the CTPers). I have been converted however to be more benign. I will still however release some of my frustration on this board, but I'll put smilies in them (see the FAQ on how to do them).
There is a number of clubs to join (which I have never done), factions to join (which I have never done), and general off-topicness to chat about untill the demo comes out (hopefully this Christmas Eve).
Any questions can be asked of our old guard, and some of the newer ones (like me) might also be of assistance.
Enjoy your time here, you'll never want to leave.
Season's Greeting

Sorry, I was a newbie myself about two months ago, so I didn't have the moral authority to do it.

OK sorry BoomBoom I wasn't actually blaming you just got mad that no-one had invented that idea before.
Now calm down and put that CK-12 away.
Now why aren't there any newbies posting in this thread?
Btw: Life is unfair. I've been here for a while for now ( I've been posting here since the birth of BoS) and I was quite proud to get 100+ posts with usually some meaning. Now that Jimbo made his comeback he already rocketed past me. *Sob*

Yikes! My dark twin is becoming benign?!?!?!?!? WHAT?!?!?!? I command you to continue being evil, frustrated and an ANGRY YOUNG MAN!!! You ARE my dark side!!! Without dark there is no light, only gray!!!! I don't want to be gray!!!!! Oh well, maybe I and BoomBoom are converging to be an unsplit personality.
Nice message anyway, BoomBoom

is being a lurker since march/april count as being a newbie?
one thing i never did bother to figure out is why all these wierd smiley faces keep popping out of the screen at me.
is it me or is it the NSA playing mind games again?

Smileys a NSA conspiracy ? Now I understand why Maya says they are evil...
