Kot and Focke, you are now members.

Hi! I'm Spanish, we used to had the 3rd ed core rulebooks translated from English (it's easier to get a grasp on the rules when they're written in your mother language), then my players pushed me to run a SR campaign, one of them read about the 4th ed and how wonderful it is and refused to play SR3. So, I got a copy I read it (I got impressed by the way) and I began my search for resources on the web. I jumped into DS, and I thought to myself "hey, this could be a wonderful place to spam all my doubts about the new edition!".

So, I'm some sort of spammer, I'm not a bot (as far as I can say) and I'm very happy, in a few hours the community have just solved one of my tougher questions.

I'm bound to make huge English mistakes, take no offense, please, I'd like to spam you all in the best way I can!!

Welcome Cazacurdas! Glad we could help!

Ok new member not selling shit

Another post proving not spambot

Isinghar - Welcome to the party.

Woot! I knew this thread had to be somewhere on the board. Cha-ching.

Shadowrun GM since first printing, retired my original campaign (a couple of times!) during 3rd edition, and after a 6 year break, I've finally signed-up for Dumpshock in order to farm paydata for a new SR4A campaign I'm starting next year.

Howdy!

Welcome Kurt-O-Matic. Hope you find everything else you're looking for.

I am not a spammer, I lurk muchly

Also, I am pretty sure you'll like my jobs website where thousands of companies are looking for Runners -- er.. workers.. just like you for thousands of nuyen a day!

Welcome Finis... what was that URL?

>.>
I have a website I run for my gaming group, there is campaign specific Shadowrun content in there, is there a rule against posting links to it here?

The more relevant elements of the Terms of Service would be:

As long as your site does not violate the TOS, links are not a problem.

Yay! I, like all those who came before me, am not a spam-bot.

Hey, an introductory thread, sweet! Well, my name is Explosive Donut. I'm fairly new to shadowrun and still trying to learn the rules, and like the person above me said the learning curve is painful, but sooooooooo worth it.

Hi there! I'm also pretty new to Shadowrun, only played it a couple of times before, and I'm pretty sure I still haven't quite figured out the character system, but it's fun *^_^*

I actually came to this board because I've had to move several hundred miles from my usual group, and the nearest game shop I've found is like thirty miles away :/ fun fun. But we can do pbp games and maybe find out that there are some games going on nearby (fingers crossed)

Anyway, disclaimer in the interest of fairness, I'm not a spambot, but honestly I am a salesperson, and realistically I should act like a spambot if I ever want to make money, but I'll be good and abide by the TOS.

Here, I'll prove I'm not a spambot too:

I've had the books for awhile but no one to play with so there hasn't been much of a reason to post here. I did try to run a mission a few months ago with friends but it was their first pen and paper game and they got distracted/confused too easily. I'm a terrible GM. : (

Anyway, this site is a good resource. Hopefully I'll find people to play with.

Don't feel too badly, my armed hobo friend. I tried to run a game once.

... it didn't end well.

Suffice it to say, after gaining superpowers and morphin crystals, battling Team Rocket was a breeze. About that time we realized that no one had any idea what the heck was going on.

Well, I guess I should probably post on this thread, as well. I've been lurking about for the better part of a year, with nothing to post other than a LFP request. In case you're interested, I have experienced with 3rd and 4th edition SR; as a player in an unfortunately small number of sessions, and as a GM for two short campaigns (one each in 3rd and 4th).

Right now, though, I'm trying to get a better grip on running SR while the group takes a break from it for a bit to play something else for a few months, so you can probably expect occasional bouts of confused rambling from me on here. (For example, like what you've just read.)

The reason why I am on this site is because SinN is a good buddy of mine and recommended this site as a good place to ask questions about SR. Looking forward to playing with you all.

Also, I'm a total noob, but whatever.


My favorite pastime is to play some old-school games like Sonic and Golden Axe. For the longest time I've been on the run from those damned Mormon missionaries, I swear those demons hunt in packs!

Just wanna say Merry Christmas to everyone. Or Happy Holidays if you are one of those overly sensitive, politically correct people.

Oh, and by the way I don't sell Viagra. I sell Extenze!

Deff, you're now a Member. Merry Christmas. Day late sure, but better late than never.

Old or new friend of SinN's? I've known the guy for a while. Trying to figure out if I know you.

Either way, welcome aboard, pick up your Dikoted Ally Spirit at the Front, enjoy, and watch out for Drop Bears.
(and no that shouldn't make any sense. I'd worry if it does;) )

Ah damn. Spoke to soon. Now I have to ban you. *sigh* *wanders about looking for Ban Hammer*

what does it say about me, that i do know what this means?

Too much time on Dumpshock. Come over to my place and we'll discuss a treatment plan over some Swordfish Mustardball.

Hey everyone! I'm new here and I suspect I am not a spambot. Anybody can apply the Turing test to ease my mind about this?

You failed.


But I made you member anyway. Not all dumpshock members are humans....

Is it me or are the spambots out in force this week?

Not just yes, but hell yes....

Well, we try and report them as soon as we find them.

Indeed. I am in fact a howler monkey.

Out of the shadows I suppose.

Hi!

I've been a member for a while but have never posted. Not sure why. Anyway I'm not a spambot, except on the weekends, and I'm posting this here so that I can start running a PBP game.

I was trying to think of something funny to type here but I've got nothing. Nipples?

If you have to, do it right:
Lusty brown elven nipples.

Ha!

Hi. I'm not a spambot.
Thanks

Isn't the correct phrase "lusty dark-brown elven nipples"?

Though he is evidently a great fan of brevity I can attest that Riegen is not a spamvit he's playing in my pbp and I've known him for years.

It depends.
Lusty Brown Butterfly is the title of a movie.
yeah, no, i did not know that it was x-rated, before i googled it either . .

You're a full member now.

Just a reminder to all persons creating new accounts, you need to send an email to dumpshock.sysop(a)gmail.com with your username to complete activation process at this time. Due to issues with captcha allowing spammer account activation, we are currently only activating accounts validated via email.

-Redjack

I have a few friends that made accounts so as to play in the IC section who have sent emails in but have not been activated, any chance anyone could activate Apertur3 and Leyline7? ty in advance.

Apertur3 is activated.
Isn't wolfgar the account for the same user as Leyline7?

wouldnt know tbh, I didnt know he had an account. If thats the case though he may have lost the password so I'll toss him a pm. Ty for the activation.

he says he isnt that guy and doesnt have an account could you activate it for him please (if it hasnt been already)? Ty in advance.

Hi folks, can I request that you make "Alyena" a bonifide user. Shes my wife.

We are a nigerian based couple and we are raising capital for our latest get rich plan. Please phone 0800-get-rich for details on how to take part in our marvellous scam

Thanks

The jury is out if I'm human or not, but I'm certainly not a spam bot.

Annoying, overtalkative, given to comments that are insulting in nature, but not a spam bot.

Not a spambot, but I do have some money tied up in Nigeria.

I'm not a spambot, I argue too much!

I had to send an email to get myself off probation coz I couldn't even post on this board to prove I'm not a bot



Hiyas everyone!

New member reporting. Been playing since SR1 and the FASA Battletech days. Went through SR2, SR3 and now SR4.

Man, SR4 changed the rules quite a bit.



p/s @admins, do you think it's possible to change the error message that unactivated accounts get when they try to post? You know, the error that says something like "you do not have permission, are on probation, wait for admins to screen" or something like that. I think it might be good to add a line to indicate that due to a recent attack of spambots, once they have verified the account, they still need to send an extra email to dumpshock.sysop(a)gmail.com to get full activation
