Hi! I'm me. I just started out on this site. I have been lurking for some time as a mysterious 'guest', but have decided to shed my standard anonymous guest uniform of black cloak and glowing blue eyes and have instead put on my standard anonymous angel uniform, you know the one that rich kid wears on Halloween and everyone wishes they could afford? So, yeah. I'm great at coming up with ideas for stories or games or things like that, but I am terrible at sticking to them and finishing them. This is one of the reasons I haven't made an account before. So you can come to me for ideas, but I probably won't be writing any good story games unless I get help from someone with unlimited patience (or at least a lot of it). So, I'm hoping my time on this website will be cool!

So, are there any things I should do to get my account started and stuff? 

Hello me, your best thing to do is get a profile picture. And welcome to the site. ^_^

Okay, cool. Thanks! And sorry, my name is AngelOfThatThing, or Angel for short. I kinda forgot to mention that little detail. :)

Welcome. We have forum games, an assload of stories, a bookclub; help yourself.

Awesome! Thanks. I'm having a bit of trouble getting my profile pic up, but I'm doing pretty well so far! 

You're going to want to go to MyStuff > Pictures and upload a picture that is less that 550 X 450 px to the site. Then, go to MyStuff > Profile and use the dropdown menu to set your profile pic to the uploaded picture.

Yeah, I'm doing that, I think it's just my internet. I will try again tomorrow or later. Thanks for the help!

Sorry, I don't mean to sound bossy. It's just that some people honestly don't get that you have to upload the picture to your account. Regardless, enjoy your stay.

S/he wasn't complaining about anything.  Why're you apologizing for being nice?

No, you didn't sound bossy. Thanks so much for the help!

He didn't get the nickname the apologizing fox for nothing. 

Haha, I'm guessing he does that a lot?

I guess I would do that too, you can never tell emotions with writing.

Person A: "Hey James! It's good to see you, man."

James: "Oh hey. I'm sorry, I didn't see you there."

Person A: "..."

That explains a lot.

Person A: "Hey James! What's for breakfast, man?"

James: "Sorry, I'm not sure yet."

Person A: "..."

Person B: "Hey, James! How are you today?"

James: "Sorry, I'm actually not feeling too good."

Person B: "..."

Person A: "Hey, James! I like your shoes."

James: "Sorry, I should've worn a different pair."

Person A: "..."

Person B: "So James, are you writing any storygames?"

James: "Sorry, not at the moment."

Person B: "..."

Person A: "Hey James! What do you think of my new cell phone?"

James: "Sorry, but I think it's actually pretty nice."

Person A: "..."

Person B: "Hey, James, do you want some gum?"

James: "Sorry, but no thanks. Sorry."

Person B: "..."

Person A: "Hey, James. How did you do on the test?"

James: "Sorry, but I only got a B."

Person A: "..."

Person B: "Hey James! Do you know the answer to homework question 4?"

James: "Sorry, but I think it is 27."

Person B: "..."

(I feel bad that I'm making fun of someone I don't actually know.)

Sticks, stones, explicit porno picts, spamming, really badnotcleveratallhaha trolling, immaturity, and other things might hurt this site, but words will never hurt its members.

Well, unless you're butthurt over some injustice that no one feels like fixing, then maybe.

Okay, then let the teasing continue!

Person A: "Hey, James. What to go on a date with me?"

James: "Sorry, but I think I want to do just that."

Person A: "..."

Person B: "Hey, James, I saved you a seat!"

James: "Sorry, I will take it."

Person B: "..."

Person A: "Hey, James. Want some popcorn?"

James: "Sorry, but I'll just have some."

Person A: "..."

Person A: "Hey, James. Do you know you say sorry a lot?"

James: "Sorry. Really sorry."

Person A: "..."

Person B: "Okay, James. Don't say sorry."

James: "Must... resist... Urge..... ARGH! I'm so sorry, I can't resist! Sorry!"

Person B: "..."

James: "Guys, this is a thoroughly exaggerated depiction of me, and I'm slightly offended by this."

Person B: "Sorry, I couldn't resist the urge..."

James: "..."

Im not sorry.

Ivan Doroschuk: "We can dance if we want to, you can leave your friends behind. 'Cuz your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they ain't no friends of mine!"

James: "Sorry guys, but this is too good an offer to pass up!"

Ivan Doroschuk: "We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands! We can dance, we can dance, everybody's takin' the chance! Safety dance!"

Grumpy Cat: "I hate that song."

James: "Sorry, I love it heaps. Sorry."

Grumpy Cat: "..."

Internet: "This should be a meme!"

James: "Sorry, but that'll never happen."

Internet: "..."

Death: "What is your biggest regret, James?"

James: "Sorry, but I honestly think I should have made myself into a meme."

Death: "..."

That is just... Awesome.

Jame's father: "Hey son, can you pass me the salt, please?"

James: "Sorry, father, but that was slightly offensive."

Welcome to the site, enjoy your stay!

Thank you very much!

For some reason this feels like I'm on vacation at a hotel. :D

Welcome, I recomend joining a forum game, checking out the lounge, playing a dark room (google it, not on this site), and making and playing storygames.

Thank you! I love a dark room, it is so much fun! My friend introduced me to it a while ago and I've been hooked! :) 

For he forum games, I'm not particularly sure how to join. What games do you recommend and how do I start playing without butting in rudely?

I recommend Legendary, there's a sign up sheet if you dig far enough in the forum games. Or WWIII.

Cool! I will try and join. 

Bonjour!  Je m'appelles Boringfirelion.  J'aime dormir, mais jaime mieux la glace.

Bonjour! Je suis l'ange de cette chose . J'aime dormir aussi, mais je préfère crossaints de chocolat .

Es poco gracioso que yo comprendo Francais.  Jaja.

Tu aime les escargots?  J'aime les escargots et l'anglais.

EDIT: Je déteste les hamburgers.  Et toi?

But hamburgers are good.

Well... they are just so... juicy...  *shudders* 

Je préfère les hamburgers de poulet.

That would be a chicken sandwhich.

CHICKEN BURGERS ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN A BORING CHICKEN SANDWICH, AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE YOU UNCULTURED SLUT.

DAMMIT, BETA, THESE WERE FRESH UNDERPANTS!

Oh god, I gotta dry this off....

Lol

IT'S NOT FUNNY! I didn't even get to pleasure myself beforehand! Don't surprise me like that, man! NOT COOL!

So, is it burgers too? I'm sorry, I had no idea.

You kidding? Burgers are bigger, juicier, curvier sandwhiches!

Burgers are the doom of mankind!

BURGERS ARE SEXY, SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!!!

Burgers are awesome! GOOOOOOOO BURGERS! The burgers are better than everything else!

Pshh!!  Of course I'll shut my mouth.  I'll shut it very tight, if someone tries to feed me one!

But then we will have to put it down you nose! Or take out your eyes and put it in through the sockets!

I'LL RIP YOUR LIPS AND CHEEKS OFF, BOY!

Violence is not the answer!  Well, at least not the answer to my math test... 

What's the answer  to question --  POST DENIED

Howd you get such a big picture on here?

I can barely get any up.

Assuming you aren't trying to upload it to your pictures, the same way you get any picture on here.

I dont know any other way. -_-"

xD

Well, if you use Firefox, you could just move the picture from one tab, to this tab and drop it into the box (Move from one, to the other bassically).

Otherwise, you can just get the HTML (Right click, Inspect Element, copy/paste the highlighted text) and paste it in 'Source'. Or you could just simply copy the picture and paste it here.

Or you could actually upload a small picture to your pictures, copy/paste it. And then right click and resize it to make it bigger.

I dont have firefox though I prefer it to chrome.

Most pics I try to upload are my own drawings so they have no html.

I think I did the last one before but forgot how. Let me try.

Hey it worked.

I love that drawing. It's really good, by the way. 

Thanks I spent like 3 minutes on it.

Well, it's way better than anything I could draw.

You could always upload your pictures to imgur or something. And then get the HTML that they provide you.

Guess I could for bigger ones.

Any of you have a wolf on wolf paradise? I'm bored and I wanna play a forum game, but nobody is online.

Yes but I quickly realized how bad it was and my attempts to help were futile.

Yes, it is quite crude, isn't it? I just can't find any other forum games, so it is my only boredom solving hope.

Thanks! Also, how much is the room service? I would like to get a chicken burger for dinner.

... Chicken burgers, eh?  Well, you can have mine... if I ordered any.

I think if you look up just a little bit, you can see a huge burger somewhere up there. 

Oh yes. Thanks! You guys have great service here! I love this hotel!

Woah. That was deep. I was literally laughing out loud. My dad was all, what are you laughing at? But I couldn't answer because I was laughing too hard. Lol. 

..............................................

I'd love to see the comments on that!

I'm gonna go look it up now.

What?

Curese your giffing sourcery.

Hence SOURCery, as in source code.

ARGH! They draw your eyes... I can't look away...
