Newbie hits the fray!

PhoenixIncarnate · Post by **PhoenixIncarnate** » Fri May 20, 2005 9:03 pm

Hello! Just thought I'd introduce myself before I start posting here. My name's Kenny, I'm 19 and go to Albright college. I am the author of Phoenix Incarnate (somewhat slow in progress at the moment, but I'm aiming towards rectifying that this summer), and I like role playing and writing stories. I like surfing message boards, so you'll probably see me pop up in other places.

If I'm doing anything out of line, feel free to knock me into place.

Box? Somebody needs to share the lingo . . . ?

I thought originally the title was "Newbie hits the fan".

The box is a trans-dimensional entity, with the ability to adjust its size: the box is always big enough to fit one less person than the number of people in it.

Newbies get put in the box and kept there until such time as they are no longer newbies.

I made both paragraphs up, but it's entirely possible one or both is correct. In short: watch out for Nike. He is the box's guardian.

Woot, it's Box-fodder extravaganza!

Two for the price of one! Hahahaha...

Get in the box.

All new spacers must report to the box.

The Box, is a running gag in these forums. All newbies who so much as say hello are thrown in the Box. Usually newbies are boxed by DarkMagician.

Hey guys, I'm new too!

...new to your MOTHER!

My reasoning:

-The box is always big enough so that it accomodates the number of people needed, minus one.

-There's TWO of us . . .

. . . *rushes to take the only remaining spot in the box*

Hang on a sec . . . I forgot to check whether or not being in the box was a good or a bad thing! Argh, too late!

Hello new people. I hope you enjoy your stay at the forums.

*gives the new people cookies*

I hope for your sakes they cleaned the box since the last newbie.

There are also infinite, all powerful, omnipresent and indestructible Boxes.

I believe one of them is sailing through the Pirate Jam right now.

Another incarnation has been spawning Crossfire clones in Keenreality, though that one may be more of the Box's strange inbred cousin from Mississippi than the Box itself.

I'm still cleaning out all the clones from that... It's damn near impossible to get clone out of the carpet! I resorted to a flamethrower and a baseball bat last time. And you'll never guess what we found in the gutters... I never knew a tutu could burn like that.

That was the Box 'o Stuff, not to be confused with The Box!

Well, staying i the box is quite uncomfortable, but, trust me, it's necessary! It makes you grow stronger... otherwise you wouldn't survive the madness around here.

Time to whip out my usual newbie-greeting form letter...

*waves*

I'm also a newbie. So I'll just jump in the box, right?

Yup. Three for the price of one!
