Title: Why, hallo thar!
Post by: Loorachnid on April 27, 2007, 02:47:00 PM
I'm Loorachnid (you can call me Loorah or something), the creator of The Republic of Eli Zephyr.  My country is pretty much brand new, but I played on NationStates a few years ago and just rediscovered it.  I've also read Jennifer Government AND Barry's first book, Syrup.  Company is at home, waiting for me.  But anyway, this seems like a really good group of people and I'm excited that I'm a part of it now.  I think I remember everything I needed to know about NationStates, but if I can't figure out something, expect a few questions. :)

Welcome and feel free to ask if you have any questions, even though this place isn't all that NS or Max Barry inclined.

I have a question for you, though. Who said you could take my cookies?

Why hello!  Welcome!  Your name makes me think "loopy arachnid", so I shall call you Spidey.  Or Spinny.  I might alternate.

Nevermind, Spinny is way better and thus you are named.

It reminds me of someone saying "Loomchild" but sneezing midway.

Howdy, Spinny. Welcome to Taijitu. Ignore the lunatics, don't go near my hat collection, and have fun!

Well, I figured the forum was more for socialization purposes, but I just figured I'd throw that stuff out there.

And... I did? 'cause... I like cookies.  Sorry.  As for my new-found nickname, I much prefer Spinny to Spidey.  I'm a DC Comics fan (Batman in particular), so... you know, I'd rather not be associated with Spiderman.  I'm much cooler, and so I'm glad that Spinny has been made official.  And Larry, I have my own hat collection, so you're safe.  Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm more of a Marvel girl, myself, but I forgive you.  In the end I just thought Spinny was more fun to say.  ^_^

Well, I mean... Marvel's cool, but... yeah, I forgive you too. Spinny works fabulously.  (And yeah, yeah, fine, I'll join the RP section. xD)

And thank you, Solnath. I was inspired by my newfound nickname.

As Minister of the Community would like to welcome you warm-heartedly to Taijitu Lloorachnid :)

You might be interested in some of the following...

The How To Section (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php/board,7.0.html): Consulting some of the posted stickies here might provide you with an answer for some of your questions, and ought to help you off to a good start.

Office of the Minister of the Community (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php?board=54.0) If you are at any time lost, have any questions, or need help, have a complaint this is the place to go. I will be more than happy to assist you in whatever way I can.

Games (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php?board=12.0): An urge to spam? Just need something to do while you wile away the minutes? Then the game thread is the place for you. Especially useful for building up your post count.

Office of the Minister of Internal Affairs (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php?board=13.0): This is where you want to go if you wish to obtain a Taijitu citizenship. Very simple to obtain, and very much something that you want to obtain if you wish to pursue and ever more in depth approach to Taijitu. In particular, it opens the way to Taijitu’s political realm, and affords you certain rights and privelages.

The Senate (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php?board=55.0): The heart of Taijitu politics and legislation, it is open to any that have met some rather simple requirements. If you have held citizenship for fifteen days, you can apply for membership in the Senate.

And one of my personal favorites to finish...

Roleplay (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php?board=8.0): Perhaps one of the best I know of in NS, it’s worth checking out if you are so inclined. And don’t forget that wonderful map (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php?board=11.0) which Oz has blessed us with. Just remember: you need to have 30 posts, provide a link to your nation, and give coordinates.

I hope that’s enough to get you on your feet and started, but if there is any questions you have, any help you need, don’t hesitate to ask. I am more than willing to help.

Thanks for the forgiveness.  Must I do Hail Mary's or should you?

I feel all kinds of special for inspiring an avatar, hooray!  No one usually takes my inane comments to heart thus; I am flattered.   :-*
