Just wondering http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/confused.gif

How is it that everybody seem to know everybody else? Are some of u guys friends in the "real world" or something? What ur relationship to anybody in this board???

------------------
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

mostly we are friends on the board (i think)
but a lot of the members have actually met the others in RL
which is amazing considering the international nature of this board http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Alot of us have been here on or near the beginning (before the new brown forum http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif) , so we have shared alot of our personal histories with each other. We have become close friends throughout our time on the board. Don't be afraid to ask us or tell us about your story. We love to hear about each other's experiences. I personally have never met any of the people on the board, but I have talked over MSN with a couple of folks. In fact Cloudbringer and I talk over MSN while we play our Multi-game of IWD and BG2

Just being around alot and getting to know people, playing multis, chatting on MSN, sending e-mails. I don't know a soul in real life. And alot of us have been around a while like Turbovee said in the pre-brown-board days. Just takes time.

We're glad you are here!

Read posts. Post posts. Give/take. Share and share some more. Email.

I became close to several board members in email and posts in the early days. We now post/email/msn each other regularly. And as turbovee says, he and I actually talk with one another several times a week. Fun to talk while playing and even just talk for the heck of it.

I will also add that people with like views or similar interests just gravitate toward one another like at any party or social gathering.

i Nostron, and welcome ! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/xyxwave.gif

(I am a VERY BAD spammer - I manage to reply to 2 threads in only one post ... http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif )

I think most of us have met here, and are not friends from RL. But, as you may have noticed, here is a VERY special Board !
For those who don't know the story already, I registered somewhere in mid-December. I had a car crash in January one Thursday morning. I was in my car with my 10 years-old son, the car slid on a very thin layer of ice and turned right, and the right rear of the car smashed on a little mountain bridge. Nobody got more than bruises, but I was very shaken : first, if the car hadn't hit the bridge, it would have fallen down in the little ravine under the bridge, and second, my son was at the left side of the car, but what if he had been sitting at the right side, the one that smashed the bridge ... All that to say that I called the garage, waited until they picked the ruined car, then went to work.
At work, I didn't want to talk about this, why should I have ? So I posted a bit in general threads, and Yorick noticed that something was wrong with me ! How did he notice, I will never know, since although I was pretty shaken, it shouldn't have shown, without any body language involved. Anyway, I told about the car crash, and then, to my utter amazement, Yorick started a 'Hug for Moiraine' thread, and LOTS of Board members posted in it to hug me ! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
Even people who had been lurking but not posting before, and who had read and liked my previous posts. I had no idea so many people liked me ! And all these hugs gave me much needed warmth and comfort. That is when the Board became a very special place to me. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/fairy.gif

Although I haven't got time to travel these days, I have been lucky enough to meet Yorick in the flesh for 4 full days, during his European journey back in February. I had a ball, and so did my family ! I tell you, he is exactly like he sounds on the Board. A very friendly, clever, witty chap with a number of amazing stories in his hat ! And great music too, since he is a modern Bard.

As soon as my husband's schedule will be less hectic and we at last can have some free time, we will sure travel the world, and that day, I hope I will meet other Board members in the flesh. And I welcome any Board friend who would happen to pass through France.

Does it answer your question some ? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

I have yet to meet with any of them in the "real world" but I much rather not because I'll have trouble talking to them

Hi Nostron!
I've never met anyone from the board in RL, or at least I don't think I have! Who knows, I could have sat next to one of the Londoners on the bus! LOL

I knew most of you guys by reading loads of threads too. Although I also knwe some of you from the old forums, which is a nice thinghttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Yeah - it must be thathttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

You never know Epona.................maybe fate has it sometimeshttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Well, I feel like I personally know many people here at Ironworks...most of them at Wizards & Warriors, but some more as well here now. In fact, a lot of friends here (Black Knight and RudeDawg) have, as a result, moseyed over to Wizards & Warriors, picked up the game, and are having a ball with it...and I, conversely, am playing Baldurs Gate 2. Go fig. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Thanks in retrospect to everyone who wished me well for my new sig! I was pleased with the results and will probably incorporate something like that for my website.

Cheers!

Hey, now those are some nice Sigs BladeMaster, and Sazerac!

I don't really know anyone on this board, but after a while, its almost like you see a familiar face. So I guess in that way you get to know someone.

There's a little restaurant here in Minneapolis that is constantly winning BBQ Ribs competitions (nationally) called the Pickled Parrot. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

I’m like moderately spicy foods myself (but don’t mind Jalapenos on Nachos) so take my description in light of this. The BBQ sauce is, in my estimation, between moderately and seriously spicy. However, it is the type of spicy that sneaks up on you. So by the time I down to the last few ribs my mouth can’t take it any more but the ribs are so good I can’t stop. So I just finish the plate and deal with the pain. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/crying.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

It's funny you should say that Epona because I'm sure I saw you on a number 38 recently.
