Sure I like Shadowrun alot. I've got a special need to talk about the subject because I'm too busy or tired to make my gaming plans reality nowadays. But I'm interested in a lot of things, and I'm not checking any other forum almost daily like I do with this one. At this point I no longer engage in a lot of lengthy debates or read very long threads. I just hang around.

My reasons for being here are approaching what AH expresses in his signature. I simply like it here. It's like having your favourite dive. Everyone knows who you are, and you feel welcome—even if the other patrons are all eccentrics and some of them tries to hit you with a flying beer mug now and then.

::::::::::::::::::

Maybe this is not that relavent or unusual a subject. I'd just like to give people an opportunity to express some touchy feely stuff in between the usual flaming. Mainly because we've splintered into two groups over the new edition, and that situation has the potential to be worse than some random disagreements.

It's my conviction that I would never have stayed around in the first place if everyone was all kind and conciderate. I respect hard-liners, even if they're not on my side. I'm not like that myself, if I was I'd be locked in an argument with someone right now—unable to get out. On the other hand, if I was in a forum made up of people like myself, I wouldn't have any fun. There'd be no arguments at all.

I found forums are an excelent way to collect different views on things such as rules. It has happened more than once that I played a rule a certain way for a long time and then suddenly a different interpretation appears on a board that makes more sense then mine.
That and I like the whole thing about forums. Dunno why, I just do.

Fun smileys? :cyber:

Edit:
Actually, I´m possibly a chatter, only too slow for real chatting. Allso, my SR enthusiasm has, due to scedual conflicts and a bit of burnout (not the :cyber: ), degraded a bit over the years and then there is SR4 and the 2070 which I´m still trying to get the feeling for. The forum is also a nice place to compensate for games unplayed becaus of less time.

This is also true for me. Especially since people around here pay much more attention to rules than I do. With SR3, I don't even know if I can say I even knew the rules at all before coming here :) .

Beating people up with my attitude when I'm not pulling some book-ninja stunt or pontificating on something that I know more about than the freelancers, like anything having to do with law or politics.

There was a time when I took you for a common bigot, James. I've come to realize that this judgement speaks grossly to my dissadvantage. You are obviously by no means common ;) .

Yeah... The last thing I am is "common" by any stretch of the word.

There used to be another person who could claim the title of Shining Ball of Pure Hatred. After he takes over Hell, I will have to destroy him to take his place or be exiled to walk the Earth undead like the Saint of Killers only more evil.

I like DS. It's a forum, about SR. Why else would one be here?

As someone who just signed up, I guess my response is more immediately relevant.

I just picked up 4th ed, after being interested in SR for a while. Unfortunately, no one around me has expressed much interest in running a game, which means that online is my best bet for a game. And my schedule means that I don't have enough time for a consistent IRC game, leaving PbP. Since this is a pretty major SR site with plenty of active games and posting, the choice was obvious.

I'm actually headed to the doctor next week for my carpel. Sucks.

I think the worst thing about it is feeling like a wuss. "I hurt myself typing." :D

Because this is one of the few places I've found that is gamers with & for gamers, especially Shadowrun. In the short time I've been here, I've been treated equally, fairly, and I have reciprocated in return.

But if you mean as in existing.....well, that would be telling.
