Hello, Bay 12 Forumers!
I first heard about Dwarf Fortress through my friend, who urged me to give the game a try.
This was about a year or so ago, and I was pretty much immediately put off by the rather steep learning curve.
I put down the game, and came back about a month ago, when my friend offered to guide me through it, and introduced me to the Mayday Green tileset.
So! I'm here, about a month later, and absolutely addicted to the game, though I still get pretty flustered with figuring things out on occasion.
I thought I'd introduce myself, and I hope that eventually I'll become a part of the community and come to learn from everyone.

This is the first of the many crazy messages you are about to receive.

Welcome! I claim you as my personal blood bag.

Hey there, welcome to the underside of Bay12!
On a different note, we've been lacking a real introductions thread. Perhaps we could get this stickied.

Hello Segnaro.
Just roll over, close your eyes and think of a happy place.
Its better that way.

WE HAVE A DRINKING GAME HERE ON THIS FORUM. YOU HAVE TO DRINK EVERY TIME YOU GREET A NEW GUY, ONE DRINK PER NEW GUY YOU HAVE GREETED IN YOUR FORUMGOING.
I AM PRETTY DRUNK NOW, THANKS FOR THE EXCUSE TO GET LOADED.

Welcome to here, my friend. I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
I will tear you limb from limb.

Welcome to down here!
I'd say Ironhand's graphics are nicer, though.
RAWR! I IS DRAGON!

Oh man, I had forgotten about that. Hehe.

Heya, glad to have ya. Unless you are, ya know, actually a bot, in which case we're probably less happy.

I totally own the only 100% normal response they're going to get.

Bay12: where being normal takes conscious effort.
Heya, doodabuddy. Come try out a game of mafia in the subforum =)
-
I totally own the only 100% normal response they're going to get.
With so many members in the forums, and normality a measurement of the center of the responses gotten in a bell curve, the only "normal" response he will get is not getting a response.
As such, you own everyone who doesn't respond. Nice claim.
-
King of the Lurkers? I'll take that. The revolt will not be pleasant though.
-
Lurkers can't revolt, they're lurking.
-
Hello. These threads are the place people prove how wacky they are, and I blame you for encouraging them.
-
(Jazzy welcoming greeting)
(Quirky comment on community)
-
Woah- I almost missed out on welcoming a newbie!
... Uh...
-
I like these kind of threads. Makes me look relatively sane compared to other forumites.
Relatively.
Oh, and greetings I suppose.
-
We are all sane, so some extent that is.
Welcome.

In any case- General Discussion is more or less the place where B12 becomes less of a Dwarf Fortress, and more of a Forum.
All of 'Finally...' follow this basic formula, but certain boards have their own set of regulars and their own quirks.
Whatever.
Hey guys, ever noticed that every new guy who introduces himself with a thread never actually sticks around?

Hey, I'm actually sticking around!
Also, I think of the forums as being like an ocean. People start off in DF Gameplay Questions and Dwarf Mode Discussion when they start DF, then they get bored and try out Adventure Mode. This is followed by Community Games and Stories and DF General Discussion. Then they try out LCS and Other Games after getting bored of DF, and finally drifting down to here. Then they go down to Forum Games and Roleplaying before vanishing off the boards.
-
Naw man, you'd be surprised. The more prominent lower forumites are very active in GD, and some of them are incredibly active in Mafia.
-
There are some people who don't post anywhere except mafia. It can be a whole forum all on it's own.
-
Webadict comes to mind.
-
What with all the forced wackiness, I never post in these threads.
Hi.
-
A perfectly reasonable sentiment.

Is there really any need to hurt your keyboard so?
-
Welcome to Bay 12! Leave your sanity at the door.
-
Why does everyone act crazy with the yelling and the flailing whenever someone makes one of these threads?
-
It's like when someone rings the doorbell and the dogs bark and the parrots scream and the fish splash the water and the cats dart away and then someone wants to trade pizza for money.

Have you seen our other threads recently? More specifically, the happiness/sadness threads?
I'm just grateful this hasn't been colonized by Double-Down Man yet.
-
Yeah this is about normal. So... I don't see what the problem is.
Maaaaannnn.
-
Hello Sagnaro. The sanity wears off in about a week.

Funnily, while everyone is acting insane, guess who's not.
Hi there, welcome to Bay12. I'm Jervous.

It is insane to not be insane in insane forums.
Anyways

I go there frequently to observe their behavior.
-
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't this many replies :O
Fellas sure know how to make a guy feel welcome.
-
Ah! I'm late to the party!
Welcome! Welcome!
Mind the wiki, and enjoy the madness.

I laughed.
Every Mafioso knows you don't do that. You're obviously only saying this to make the rest of us think you are.
Just as planned.

Mafia, eh?
I played that once. I won three times in a row, so it got boring.
*sniff*

High and mighty, eh? Try playing another to see if you really are 7forf7 (http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=7for7).
-
Right. I'm just going to swallow my wor-
I mean, there's no games open. How could I possibly?
-
Just DF mafia.
-
why would you be seven for eff seven?
Makes as little sense as me returning to this thread.

Greetings, comrade, and a belated welcome to the last bastion of sanity on the internet.
If you like getting graphics in your Dwarf Fortress, might I shamelessly plug this here utility (which, might I add, I have poured countless years hours of my life into making look pretty):
Stonesense - Isometric DF Visualizer (http://tinyurl.com/28p2d2m).
** It is wonder-utility, for to seeing of Dwarves Fortress in glorious Sprite Graphik. Praises the Miners!
