Hello everyone. Even though I believe this question has already been asked on the forums a while back, I have decided to ask it again.

Who was the first person you had a conversation with via PM?

I asked myself this question. After a while of recollecting memories and thoughts, I finally remembered. My very first PM was with  a member named Frost. I can't remember whether She sent me the message or if it were the other way around, (as it probably was) She welcomed me to the site. (She also asked if I was interested in her RP. Which at the time, I had no idea what she was talking about. I said yes.) I then went inactive for a long while, and I have not heard from Frost since then. But, she probably left because Warrior Cats was banned. Oh well.

So, I ask again, with whom did you guys have your first PM with?

Ooooh. I like this game, I'll play. Um. Gonna guess Aman because of Aman's Army? And also he was my first player in the Freeform 101 thread? Buuuut I could be wrong. Tempted to flip through my entire PM log to find out... XD

Edit: Nope, 3J! Nice with a dash of irony, so I'll post it:

Hey, thanks! Hopefully pretty soon I'll start publishing storygames instead of just talking about them. ;)

I'm not one for sending out welcome messages to really new users, I find that it's generally a waste of time, but I've been consistently impressed with your conduct here so I'd just like to say thank you and welcome aboard.

Wait, you don't delete your PM's?

I don't. :/

Funnily enough my first PM was a rant about Warrior Cats and Fan Fiction generally. I think Fan Fiction can be quite a good genre now having seen some examples of that but my opinion about WC remains that if there is a merciful God who loves us all he'll have a special circle in hell for bad WC writers...

Hi Tev 

Good to meet you too and thanks for the info on the Warrior Cat series, it's a bit ironic that the fan fiction actually puts people off the series which is presumably well written enough to attract fans in the first place :) I think fan fiction by default is not one of the stronger genres as it is copying something successful, even those few who can write to the same level of quality as the original could never publish their work because they are using ideas and characters that are copyrighted :) I never go on the forums so I miss a lot of what you might call behind the scenes stuff so thanks again for letting me know about the Warrior Cats fan fic's reputation :D

The first pm I can find is from Fergie14233, in the halcion days of 2011. She asked me if I wanted to join a mafia game. Don't know if I did, but I did not pm her back :p

Earliest one I remember being sent to me was from Drak, but I know there were ones before that from other people, I think...

Ah, right! First PM I ever encountered here was from PenguinSharpShooter when the site was engulfed in a most bloody civil war. I then sent some PMs to Aman to plot a backstab.

Ha ha, I think I remember that. 

Well, my first PM was from Fireslugger_ICA (who made several more accounts and is now known as Virtualide(I think)) asking me if I was new to the site or if I had signed in before since my username seemed somewhat familiar.

I sent one to fleshnblood_78 thanking him for leaving a comment on my game, and he replied. 

Um, I really don't want to state my first PM. Well, he kind of contacted me. That's all over now, thanks to Berka.

Well, other than him I think it was Zag. Lemme see.......

Yep, it's either Zag or Wiggle.

I'm guessing it was Ryder.

The first PM I ever sent was a reply to nmelssx. I believe he was complimenting me on my first game.

First message I sent was to solostrike. I was telling him that I beat cryptode, because I guess that's what he wanted people to do if they got the Best ending.

I think It was buttercup telling me he made me a coauthor of a game. Or it was me telling tim i was sorry for necroing a thead back when i was a blueberry*.

* blueberry = noob

I actually did the same. Bastard never replied back.

@Morgan_R yeah, my first pm was asking you about joining the Tavern, ha ha. Wow that was ages ago

It was a WC fan. Scripting help.

I have no idea. I'm guessing the server was made in a different time zone and that the third set of numbers would be seconds. To be honest I never really pay attention to the time, since I live in a different timezone too, so the numbers are all wrong. :p

I just noticed something, my clock says it's 11:40, and the time stamp on the post says it was 2:38:52 PM, Do you know why that is?

what is the third set of #s for? I know this probably sounds stupid, but I don't know a lot of things...

Okay. >.< The other nine better riddlers are a few other people that were not only good a reciting riddles, but also really good at solving the ones they haven't heard of. I can sometimes solve the ones I haven't heard of, but not often, though I have heard of LOTS of riddles. >.<

Who are the nine better riddlers? :p 
Co-authoring basically means that somebody else is writing the story with you. You have to ask somebody if they'd like to be a co-author and then add them as one. That gives them access to your game and they can add or change things as they like. 
I'm not looking to co-author a game right now since I'm currently busy with my own game, but if you've got any questions I'd be happy to try and answer them for you.

Also, how does the whole 'Co-author' thing work?

I'm doing a story game called werewolves an' magic and I was wondering if you could help me with it. It's my first game and I want to make it good. I'm also not good at the tech-y stuff like making items. I've read all the help and info and I still don't get how to make them or how they work. I would really appreciate your help. Plz send me a reply on whether or not you'll help. ~TacocaT, the tenth greatest riddler. (>.<) 

(I've never deleted a pm before - 253 separate pm conversations total. I believe that 2 or 3 were with myself, seeing how things like text art or Chinese letters translated through pm. Turns out that anything other then English letters turns out as a '?' and text art is completely messed up.)

Of course you can join. It's open sign-ups. The only restriction is a requirement of 9 people.

O-Kay!

Someone named Andrea sent me a pm that said "hi". When I asked why they were talking to me, they demanded I tell them who I  was. When I refused to tell them, they said not to "tqlk" to them... whatever that means.

I KNOW that my first PM was to my best m8 Chris, I just can't find it in this sea of PMs...

I believe we were talking about Fallout or something.

EDIT: Damn, I have a lot of PMs. I remember all of these times, way back when...

EDIT 2: Hey, I remember when Morgan did art stuff!

... wait a minute...

I NEVER GOT MY ART!

@Morgan_R

GIVE ME MY ART, DAMN YOU!

Or don't, I don't really mean it. It would be sick if you did, though.

Mine came a little while after I published my first storygame. (I never made a "Hi, I'm New so Say Hello to Me" thread, so I was largely silent until I published that storygame.) Steve24833 told me... well I think it is pretty funny (in a good way).

Hey, I'd just like to take the time to point out over the dozens of new storygames I've read and criticized over the past weeks, I'm impressed that you're one of the few people who didn't either simply ignore criticism or even bitch to me and complain about the community at large, so well done. Best of luck with your next storygame.

I published the storygame in a torrent of 1/8 and 2/8 games, so I supposed a 3/8 looked pretty good at the time... Still, nobody told me hello yet. (Ha ha.)

That's probably the best PM anybody could get for their first. Congratulations, have a button. Button not included.
