Well.... I'm pretty new to this board, and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in being the only bloody Norwegian in here! Damn! Oh, well... at least there are some Danes and Swedes here! Morn, morn!


Weather report is sunny weather and pretty cold (-10 or so when I checked.... celsius that is)

Moiraine 01-16-2001 06:10 AM

Don't tell me I am the only one from France on this board !
Hey, Frenchies mates, c'mon, that we can make some private jokes ourselves.

WOLFGIR 01-16-2001 06:36 AM

Gothenburg, Sweden.
And no no polarbears or topless blondes are harrassing at a daily basis and no, it´s not that much colder than in London... Not that much be sometimes we get some inches of snow and some - degrees too..

Sylent 01-16-2001 06:40 AM

Melbourne to be exact...

Tobin and Nabus has wonderful signatures... such creativity and uniqueness... WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GET THOSE??? ITS SOOOO COOL!!!

Tobbin 01-17-2001 08:34 AM

I have the web-site listed where I got mine at. I'm "borrowing" it until I can finish making one up. The picture is spell animation from the game Torment. It happens when you cast horror. They have some really awesome spell animations in that game.

Nabus 01-17-2001 02:01 PM

Well, I got my signature from a danish site, wwww.krank.dk, it's most funnystuff and so. My picture is under Jpg i think, fink the pic named "Sorte prikker"

Ladyzekke 01-17-2001 03:27 PM

Nabus, a while ago I came across a site that looks very similar to that. Stickdeath.com. You should check it out if you like that sort of thing. Some scenes are pretty funny and some are a bit on the rude side.

Oreon 01-17-2001 05:11 PM

Well, like Lord of Alchohol, I'm from Charlotte, NC, USA. And I too have lived in Colorado Springs, CO. As well as Cambridge, UK .. Cagliari, Sardinia ... and that's it. I'd love to go Down Under, I hear it's awesome.
I love partying with you Euro's. Always a time to remember.. or try to remember

It's awesome to see so many gamers from all over the globe.. and typing great english as well! Better than most I work with.

Is BG2 played online? It'd be great to get some of you regulars together in an Amn pub!

Bahamut 01-17-2001 08:13 PM

Zoratorak 01-17-2001 08:21 PM

Memnoch 01-18-2001 04:20 AM

Yeah I heard about that. That totally sucks dude! They should hang Estrada, he has singlehandedly fucked up the entire country in less than two years. U know the peso has fallen to P55 to the dollar?

Hey Nabus, I love your signature and Karup is in mid Jylland.

Moiraine 01-18-2001 06:27 AM

Anyone of you Aussie guys, could you please give me a picture of Sydney that I could put in the background of my work computer ? Please ? (1024 x 768 or more)

Here the snow is falling and falling and falling today, and I would welcome a change of weather !

I searched on the Web, but I could only find very small pictures.

Thanks !

Armisael 01-19-2001 07:23 AM

You can't? Christ, could've fooled me with the way my boss carries on.

Hoggar 01-19-2001 07:49 AM

Actually he's from Uppsala as well (at least he studied here, since it's out oldest University... from the 13th century... which, I might add, is older than both the States and Aussie-land =) *ducks*).

H'tiek-Ogreslayer 01-19-2001 01:45 PM

Just getting back in the swing of things on this forum and posts. If your reading the "What's in your name" post you'll know why. I'm from St. Louis, Missouri.

Asphyxiate 01-19-2001 03:17 PM

After a long hibernation period, the snow has receded and the cold-blooded Asphyxiate emerges once again, groggy and cantankerous. Story of me life you say? A long one, the telling best left to those mincing bards, their long flowing hair, rugged good looks and lyres, whatever those are. Whats that? Persistent little oik aren't you? Very well, if it will get you off my doorstep and I can get back to my morning cleric-flogging activities.

Born in ye olde town of Stockport UKe was I, where nothing much happened. After several moves around the UK (London, Manchester, Cambridge, back to London again) ravaging the countryside and collecting interesting speciments I turned my attentions elsewhere - richer pickings and better weather to keep my bones from freezing together. For the last 4 years I've been terrorizing the residents of Fairfax, Virginia (I've noticed the price on my head is once again up, Ladyzeke) to much greater effect. However the winter still affects my limbs and I'm not as spry as I used to be. I feel the warmer climes of San Diego calling me, afore too long.

Feed well, my children. Daddy will be home soon.
