Welcome to the site. Although I must say you picked a bad time to sign up, the site could die at any time.

Welcome, it's a pity you've joined at this time. Man, you should've seen this place five years ago...

Welcome to the Escapist, enjoy your stay and stay out of the basement.

There are ... things ... down there.
The basement? Bro where do you think we're seeking refuge!

Welcome, brace yourself for support, complaint, and threads with screaming matches that move further and further from the original topic, but can still be enjoyed from the outside as a kind of examination of increasing ideological dogmatism in the face of opposition, where normally polite and rational people become increasingly melodramatic and vitriolic; I'm waiting for one of them to reach a point of critical mass at some point, but so far no dice.

That said, welcome again! Which version of RPG Maker are you using?

We don't have any introductory threads because it seems that, invariably, the people who make these threads don't stick around for very long.

Let's take a look at the last person to make an introductory thread. Gee, 7 posts in 10 months, glad she took the time to introduce herself.

Hopefully you'll prove yourself different. You set an avatar, so I like you more already.

However regardless, welcome to the Ricefields, my dude.

You enjoying your stay is subject to change at any point and you may yet just end up hating every single one of us for a number of different reasons, but hey, what's life without a little adventure?

Welcome to the Escapist!

Never mind those warning you to stay out of the Basement--fresh meat is always tasty welcome!

I'm big on Dragon Age, too! I'm one of those players who run up a dozen (or two dozen) characters to squeeze the whole experience from BioWare games so it's good to have a fellow DA fan join up.

Sadly, that's more or less true.

Makes you wonder tho. Are we the things? Or does our seeking refuge with the things mean we're worse than them?

'Ello new person, I happen to be playing Dragon Age Origins and am frustrated with the small number of Party slots so is there perhaps a recommendation for which Party members to take[footnote]Though I'm not leaving Morrigan Behind and I do need a Rogue because I'm playing Wizard so for the moment Leilana is staying, Alistair is fun too but I can swap him around if necessary[/footnote], I only ask 'cause you said you liked it.

It's always nice to see active and lively new people joining the forum.

Seriously though, why do the people who make these 'hello' threads never seem to actually bother returning? What is even the point of making these threads if you're only ever going to make 1 post anyways?

I don't know, seems mostly pointless and a bit exasperating to be honest.
