Chit Chat Thread
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2015 7:24 pm
I'm creating this thread for any out of character posts that aren't about events in the game itself.
To start with I'm going to post some general boring/serious stuff about posting frequency, game length, etc. And also introduce myself! I should have posted this in the recruitment thread, but you took me by surprise, as most of you recruited yourselves before I’d even started recruitment!!!
My real name is Gary, if you don't want to post a real name on here then that's fine by me, but at least half the players already knew my name, so I put it here. I live in the UK, in Lancashire. I’m a software engineer and although I’m usually fairly busy I doubt that I’ll ever be so busy at work that I cannot keep up with the game. I can’t access the site from my work PC, but I can get on by phone, and I can email posts to myself at lunchtime.
I’m very busy at home, I’ve got a very big family, but I can spend an hour or two online every evening, so I’ve no excuses for not posting without warning.
Just in case I disappear (nothing kills the game like a vanishing Keeper) I’m going to PM contact details to every player before we start. I’ll include a different email address that I always see, my facebook page and my mobile number (I’ve got WhatsApp so it’s actually the best way to get in touch). I’m not planning to do any disappearing acts, but if I do then give me a nudge and I’ll be back. The only other forums where I’m currently active are the official Elite: Dangerous forums where I post under the same name. I’m most active in the Buckyball Racing Club threads, especially this one – it’s actually thanks to the awesome community on there that I realised how much I missed this place!
My favourite PC game is Elite: Dangerous at the moment (for the last year!), other PC/Video games that I like are the Company of Heroes series, the Arkham Batman games and the GTA games. I’ve never tried any MMO games other than Elite.
On TV I like Game of Thrones (I also love the books), Walking Dead (I’ve not read the comics), True Detective and Breaking Bad (not finished watching it yet on dvd, so no spoilers!). That’s all American stuff, from my side of the Atlantic I most enjoy Doctor Who (new and old) and Sherlock.
