G'Day to Ya

[Alyssia]

I like it a lot, thanks for asking. I've gotten the hang of the battle system and I've found that if I decide to get really chatty with someone and end out making a wall of text it can be rather rewarding. I made ma first 100 silver post I was a little shocked cause I'd never be on a site where that much was possible from a post. Rather nice.

Your response made sense to me, I had to read it slowly though. Still sleep..what time do you get up on the mornings...is it morning where you are? I've generally got a thwarted sense of time....dealing with people that are seeming always in different time zones doesn't really help

O before I forget, I remember you talking about how you were the one that had something to do with making the event on the site or something like that...so what I was going to ask (even though its a ways away) was that for the halloween event, instead of the normal types of items...do you think it'd be possible to have some that had to do with scary movies? I don't think its something that I've ever seen on any site before so I though it'd be kind of cool as like an extra to go along side the usual items.

@ecco, sounds like events can be hectic, how many of them have you been here for? And what was your favorite one...if you've had one that is

[Maeve]

Glad to hear that! ^^
Yup, the admin tries to encourage people to make longer, more developed posts instead of a ton of small spam-like posts, hence the higher limit for silver. I always found it nice too

I get up around 9AM right now. School hasn't restarted yet, so yeah, I can still sleep XD Then I'll be back to the usual (and annoying) "one hour before morning class starts".
And it's around 4PM right now in my lovely eastern Canada timezone. ^^

All the staff members collaborate to the events planning right now (we're a small site, after all). And that sounds like an interesting idea. Not really sure how it could work or what could go with it, but yes, it'd be nice.
Just in case I forget about it or it ends up lost somewhere, I'd suggest posting it in our event suggestion/feedback thread.

[Alyssia]

Aww, you guys are just so wonderful~ I've been to quite a few sites, and I dunno the staff just don't seem as nice as you do here, maybe because its smaller here though.

As for the idea, well I was thinking the staff members could dress up as one of their favorite horror flick characters and the users could gain maybe event currency from posting and whatever else you all had in mind to earn the items that you all were wearing. I'm still mulling over what I had in mind as well so yea. I wonder if it makes sense

I'm not sure how you'd pull it all together though because I've never really been involved with event coordination, plus most of the events I've been involved with had currency which you earned from posting or from "battling" with other users and then trading it all in later for the items. I'll be sure to post there as well though.

@Sia - Oh, I just meant the name Sia was pretty, hehe, but I looked up the Clap Your Hands video and a couple of her others.
She does have an amazing voice. And I think she has decent features as far as her looks. ^^
Odd video, but entertaining, haha.

On here, I've stayed mainly in the Hangout forum and in here. I'm going to start exploring a bit more though.
Maybe check out the discussion threads more. ^^
And on Ernya, when I do post, it's usually all over. A few hangouts, a bit in the Avatar Corner forum, I'll hang out in the exchange a little, and welcome the newcomers too.
Sometimes answer questions in the Support forum too.
I usually don't have a problem making friends online, though all you have to do is just strike up conversations here and there and you're bound to make a friend out of someone. 8D

[Alyssia]

@Soleil lol sorry I misunderstood a bit it seemed. Oh well~ Either way I'm glad that you found another artist that you could like. Admittedly the video for Clap Your Hands is on the strange side, I think that's why I think its funny *nods*

I think while I'm on here I try to go all around and look at the threads that I've posted to see if they've made progress. I'm a little glad that we can chat in this thread though. Its rather nice. I don't think I'm ready for a full fledged hangout thread~

As far as the online friendships go, I guess I'm making progress...I mean I feel like I'm rather chatty here so that's a start...plus I've got a few folks I like to chat with as well. I'll get there sooner or later. Nice to see you here again though. Oh I meant to tell you sooner, I like your name~

[Sly]

Hello!~ Here's a very late welcome from me. My apologies, but I've been very busy with work and the like lately. Anyway, hope you're finding this place fun and inviting and such....

[ecco]

i actually joined during the last winter solstice event, haha ^^ seems like so long ago (what can i say, 2010 was long and painful for me hahaha)

i looooved that one, though i think i enjoyed the spring event more, but probably only due to the fact i knew people around here better so i wasnt shy to post anywhere and everywhere XD

aaaand then i got unlucky, i was on holiday pretty much the exact dates of the summer event, and during the halloween one i had just moved to london and didnt have internet at the new place yet XD

[Alyssia]

@Sly, thanks for the warm welcome. I'm finding this place to be all that you said and more. A late Welcome is better than no welcome at all so its fine. I do hope to see you around the forums too~

@ecco Wow, well I do hope that this year is a better one for you dear~ What was that event like? I hope that I'll find a few places to post around...I wouldn't say that I know a ton of people though we I'll have to see how it goes.

Wow, what a time you had while the other events were going on. What's it like living in a major tourist destination? Plus is it hard to get around there? I didn't care much for being in cars there....I felt like we were going to get in an accident constantly because for me its the wrong side for the road...and the steering wheel location...I wonder if its hard to learn to drive there.

[ecco]

i cant speak from experience, as ive never had driving lessons, but i think driving is more complicated here, mainly due to roundabouts. those things are evil.

i dunno, people that live here complain about TFL (transport for london) all the time, but for me, it's SO much better than the public transport back in my hometown, that i really can't complain. it's not perfect, but it works.

however... technically i live in Essex. but the area i live in is part of "Greater London", so yea... it's kinda both... i dont know how it works either... XD

[Soleil]

@Sia - Yea, the video was strange, but I did enjoy watching it, and definitely listening to it. ^^
It's always fun to discover new artists (or get introduced to them by others), so I'm glad about that!

And I've seen you in the hangouts, so it's wonderful you're comfortable enough to be chatting there and meeting the other users here!
It seems like you have no trouble at all making friends online. 8D

And thank you... I just like the sound of the word, and I love Cirque du Soleil, so I kind of adopted it as a name. Plus, it means "Sun" ^^

[Alyssia]

@ecco, I don't much care for roundabouts they tend to give me motion sickness after so many of them....they keep people from speeding though. So I guess they serve their purpose well.

Can't say that I've had a ton of experience with public transport myself. I tend to score rides more often than not, but if things keep going the way they are now I'll have to learn~ The bus isn't as hard to read as the train though so not too big of a deal...it just takes forever though I'm used to walking where I want, and since the move that isn't an option anymore.

@Soleil I also like Julian Perretta...I can't say who he reminds me of, but his songs a generally catchy even if the lyrics aren't always the most positive of sorts.

Yea, I tend to post massive blocks of text....sometimes I feel like it can discourage others from chatting with me...I'm just a really curious person that tends to be reminded of something no matter what I'm talking about.

I think I've got a hand full of folks to chat with now so its rather nice. My mom and I would watch Cirque du Soleil when they had shows on tv. It was so amazing. I would love to see them live one day. We've got some on dvd too.....somewhere amongst the cardboard boxes in this house.

[Alyssia]
