Hi, hello, howdy.

[Fall From Eden]

So, hello, everyone. We made a brief introduction in the IRC channel, but decided it was probably best that we introduce ourselves here, as well.

And... you've probably noticed the use of the plural "we," and no, I'm not a grammar 'tard. We've been diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (you might remember it as "multiple personality disorder") since 2009. So yeah, we make odd use of personal pronouns at times, but it honestly does make some sense (usually). Basically, when we're talking about ourselves singularly, we use singular pronouns. When we're referring to the totality of the system, we use plurals.

As for having separate identities, well, that... sometimes gets interesting when navigating forums or other online communities (much like it does in real life, actually). Basically, I imagine that I (Eden) will be speaking most of the time. There are three others who are interested, but I expect them to talk less in general. Just in case, though, they should, hopefully, prepend their (user?) names when they make comments and such just to make things a little easier to understand.

As for who they are and how to tell them apart... I guess I can let them make their own introductions here. (That should also make for a nice demonstration of what I meant by "prepend their names," too....)

Solistra:

Whoever wrote this introduction for me before, do me a favor: don't try to pass yourself off as me. It's incredibly offensive. - Sol

foad:

hey. name's jake, or foad. i don't really do this shit, so... ok. i'm a musician, i work on just about any songs we need for what we're workin on. don't do them all on my own cause my style doesn't always mix well. tend to be the 'protector' of the group, tho i didn't really ask for that, but i don't really care either. don't talk too much

Marc:

Salaam. My name is Marcus, and it is very nice to meet you all.

I am a scripter, though I admit that I have not worked with RGSS2 much. As such, I am still learning it, but I am quite impressed by how quickly I have been able to throw some things together. I am not new to Ruby, though! Just the newer versions of it.

Honestly, I imagine that I will leave much of the conversation to the others, but if I see something of interest, I will certainly add my thoughts. And having said that, I believe I have run out of things to say, so I shall end my introduction here.

Eden:

Okay, so... with all of them out of the way, I guess I can properly introduce myself. I used to be an active member of the RPG Maker scene back in the 2k/3 days (back when this site was Crankeye, actually). For some reason, I've never really felt like making traditional JRPGs with the Maker series, but I keep coming back to them whenever I have an idea for something. Can't really beat the familiarity of the interface.

So, yeah, I'm back into the swing of things a bit more now, and interested in cranking out a rather simple idea for a horror-themed game. It'll be interesting trying to do that given the resources I have, but I hope I can make it work.

And... yeah, so, that's me, me, me, and me. Hopefully that wasn't too confusing for you (and if you TL;DR'd down here, could you at least try to read the bolded parts, please?), and I'm always open to questions if anyone has them.

And... off we go.

[Irock]

Haha you're weird!

[Irock]

But really it's all good.

[Fall From Eden]

Haha you're weird!

Indeed.

Solistra:

Quite.

Marc:

Very much so.

foad:

my name stands for 'fuck off and die'

Eden:

Really, though, disclaimer of "it's all good" not necessary. I didn't join the community before watching how it works.

[Irock]

Fuck you.

[Fall From Eden]

Fuck you.

To whom is this directed?

[strike]

okay venom.

[Acolyte]

Welcome to RMRK.

You said three who are "interested". Are there more of you?

[Dwarra?]

foad:

[Fall From Eden]

Welcome to RMRK.

You said three who are "interested". Are there more of you?

Twelve total, although the level of involvement with our daily lives varies greatly. Honestly, the ones who are interested in posting here are also the ones who are generally the most active in our day-to-day life, so... I suppose that means that we generally have a genuine interest in making games with RPG Maker VX.

foad:

to DrSword: HELL yes

[strike]

well at least you won't need to recruit for a team.

[yuyu!]

Uhh...

Too true.

Actually, we're all working on different parts of the same project right now, interestingly enough....

[yuyu!]

How many of you are girls?

[Holkeye]

I'm calling bullshit.

[Malson]

Welcome!

something just flew out my nose

[IAMFORTE]

Welcome :3

[EvilM00s]

I'm calling bullshit.

But quite creative.

[Fall From Eden]

How many of you are girls?

Two. And three others are genderless. You know, you can always ask us through PMs, most of us don't mind answering (most) questions.

I'm calling bullshit.

You can if you'd like. I just wanted to make an introduction this way so that inexplicable, sudden changes in behavior / style / etc. aren't just completely random, and I've taken a policy of transparency over the past six months or so (not sure how long, actually, I'm exceptionally bad with time). I have to admit, I'm surprised no one's called "troll" yet, though.

Really, though, if anyone "calls bullshit" or thinks that we're otherwise insincere, that's fine with me; I can't change your opinion, and it would be pointless to try to. Just... treat us like any other member, really. Like I said, the whole point of us introducing ourselves like this was to avoid the inevitable "who are you" that always happens (not to mention others believing I've been hacked, etc.), and just to be generally open and honest.

Oh, and Omar Little is an awesome character, by the way.
