Come one come all! (although mostly aimed at the newer people, rather than the oldies)
I think it would be nice for all the people who are new to the forums to get their voice heard and known! give us a flavour of who you are and what you do...i'll start off:

IRC:Inferno (recently got a nice shiney @ infront of my name :D)
ingame name: Inferno
real name: Laurence
Exp: been playing bush since R11 or R12 i dont recall. made a few mateys lead a few alliances.
IRL: so im from jolly old england, where we sip on tea and eat crumpets most the day. Im a university student at Oxford Brookes (not the real oxford, thats for poshies;) ) i study mental health nursing so i am a MALE nurse which is pretty win because i live with a LOAD of hot nurses. I am one step away from being sectioned myself tbh!

fire away next person...dont be shy!

User Profile: Martin
Real Name: Guess.....
Exp: Round 5
IRL: English too, I'm a 20 year old Estate Agent. I am also doing my degree in Economics and Mathmatics via the Open University, which means I get it all sent to my house then I just send off my essays and assignments, this means I can also do this full-time whilst working full time!! I wouldn't say I am loud but I am very confident and have no problems speaking to people (as it's my job to speak to hundreds a week). I like keeping fit and am hoping to run in the Northern Run in the later part of this year.

IRC:IceOfFire - Was my first in game name, didnt quite understand the IRC rules back then! Or SiderGuy (SG) - After my favourite bush players (DarkSIDER and CityGUY)

Ingame name: IoF

real name: Ollie

Exp: Played every single round except the first 3, one of the most constant and longest players, altho i didnt use IRC untill around round 10 or so, so was fairly unknown

IRL: I live in good old England, used to live in North London, but moved to Exeter University to train as a Physio. I once played England Under 16s rugby and for Saracens, Rugby still takes big slice of my life up now! (Not quite the same standard, only doing South England at 18s level)

I think it would be nice for all the people who are new to the forums to get their voice heard and known! give us a flavour of who you are and what you do...

The idea is good Inferno, giving the new players a thread where they can post a join instead of having to make a new one when they join forums. :) Unfortunately people seem to have misread the original post and we have (almost entirely) oldbies posting here. Sort of defeats the purpose does it not? We already *know* who the oldbies are, and what they do. This thread was for players new to the forums, right?

well from wot i read of the first post its aimed at all players but mainly new players, now im breaking my own view on the thread by posting this but i think all posts that are not an intro duction should be moved somewhere else, i dont know where but this is a thread for introductions and nothing more. as it is a very nice idea to have everyone introduce themselves, old and new players.

*EDIT abd by remove i do mean my own psot(this 1 not my introduction post) should be removed and placed somewhere else.

This thread is for introductions, please stay on topic.

(And although aimed at new players, anyone can post an introduction if they wish.)

Thread moved to Goodbye Country, Hello Nightclub Sub-Forum

Whilst I appreciate this thread is a good idea, it essentially serves the exact same purpose of this sub-forum.

New players can continue posting on this thread or begin a new thread.
