Please allow me to introduce myself...
[The Too Long, Won't Read: Hello! You guys rock!]
My character is about to celebrate her first after abduction Birthday ("Wow," said the players with 300-year-old characters, "tell us more about your longevity, Oh Mighty One."), so I just wanted to drop in and say "Hello!" I've heard about Achaea for awhile now, from a friend with a mostly-dormant character, and the praise is completely justified. Thus, I'd like to add a bit of my own:
- Mhaldor! My mother thanks you, my father thanks you, and I thank you. Since I joined, so many people have gone out of their way to help me, it's unbelievable. I want my character to be pretty different from me, the smartass (somewhat less evil) goof, so at the moment, I'm playing her much more reserved. Which is fine except that, in character, my responses have been, "Thank you. That's very helpful," when what I want to say, OOCly, is "Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are a Golden God, here's a picture of a kitten on a rocking horse!" So, to all of the friendly folks I've met and will meet (particularly @Zii, @Carmain, @Nadria, @Arcion, @Vrah, @Boosteya who've all taken much of their time to help a sister out), you're awesome. [Further praise redacted to preserve Evil League of Evil mystique]
- My Mhaldor rant? It's really quite difficult to have Dracaria avoid saying or doing anything that could get her decapitated or fed to the piranha when -I- am snickering at the computer in response to the wit found in the city. Every time I play, I have to remind myself (multiple times!) "your character is a Mhaldorian, not a Tickle Me Elmo."
- Citizens of other cities! I'm sure you're all streets ahead, but sadly I haven't had much interaction with anyone beyond "Please leave our city" or, "Get out, and don't come back" or, "Slave! Feel free to browse the shops...of Mhaldor, which you can find when you speedily depart from our town." When I'm out of newbiedom and don't have to spend most of my time scrounging for gold (she said, full of hope), I hope to meet and oppress many, many more of you!
And, finally, apologies in advance for any tentative, inconsistent RP. I wanted a challenge (idiot), and the process of crafting a non-moustache-twirling-cartoon evil is certainly that -- particularly when an 18-year-old character is practically still a toddler. Bonus apologies: my combat might suck for awhile, but I'm trying!

Welcome to Achaea!
(And I confess disappointment that the first line of your post was not 'I'm a man of wealth and taste.')
Thank you! And, ha, while I am sorry to disappoint, I'm delighted that the "Sympathy for the Devil"ness wasn't missed!
Can I call you adorable? That intro was adorable. Welcome to Achaea!
Mhaldorians find ways to communicate with the rest of us weaklings, often at the end of a blade, but I'm sure you'll manage, one way or another. It IS a challenge, but sometimes, it's the challenges that keep us the most engrossed. If you need help, just ask!
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
I'm late to the Stones party DAMN IT @TARAUS I LITERALLY CAME IN HERE TO POST THAT
also @Vrah and @Mishgul are #amazing (not a slight to the others; I just haven't ever really interacted with them as much as I have these two).
ETA: oh yeah welcome to Achaea also.
Hi @Dracaria
@Tohran Hi - this person prob has not a single clue what you're talking about
Try not to get addicted to killing rats for gold... you uh... might end up with a mob kill counter that eerily starts to approach those who've been bashing for years.
*cough* Anyways, welcome! :3
SHE'S MINE, GO AWAY!
Whew! Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone!
@Jhaeli Hee, I'll take adorable! Hopefully I'll run into you, in game, and we can both glare and pretend the other one isn't there.
@Nadria Aww, glad I could give you a "rave" and ditto on future interactions!
@Hexan Ha, yeah, my stat stats is already beginning to approach "Denizen Kills: Slain: Eleventy squillion. Avg Level: 2." You'd think all these ROUSes running around would yield better levels, but nooo.
@Tohran Don't worry, no exterminations on my part (oddly enough, @Vicious, I have a vague idea what that means...possibly.
), and I look forward to being ignored by you in game!
@Zii Don't worry, this is all part of the plan; I'll be wiping these heathens out in no time. [They totally can't read this, right?]
Welcome to Achaea and Mhaldor, @Dracaria. You remind me a lot of @Koyuki when she was new, too.
I hope you have fun, and enjoy your stay. Hopefully you'll be here for a long while to come! (don't do it it will eat your soul...) Important tip: Things aren't always as they seem on the forums, so while there can be intelligent discourse here, take everything with a grain of salt.
I look forward to seeing you in game at some point.

@Jurixe Thank you for the welcome! Hopefully, I'll be sticking around for awhile (or running far, far away from this life-devourer!).
Very good advice re: the forums. I've seen a few "arguments" that look like they've been festering for a good chunk of time, and am hoping to avoid most of that and just have fun. (So, if I ever get too "SIRIUS BIZNIZ!!" on these forums, please point to this post and clear your throat meaningfully.
)
See you in game!
Just do what we (@Mishgul, @Saeva, @Lyndee, @Khairt, @Dragonknight) do and lob absurd nonsense into the Ranting Menace. It definitely can't be worse than what's already there.
Challenge accepted! Of course, you're all established presences, so when I start lobbing nonsense, I'll just look cra--

Yes
Have you considered
Yes
@Mishgul
#yes
(Welcome to Achaea. Don't apologize for roleplaying or trying to roleplay. We've not crossed paths IC, but I'm sure you're doing fine. And definitely do not take the forums too seriously. #2014theforumsthecesspoolthesharednightmarescenario)
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as you reach the level of #yes.
And thank you, @Lyndee! I really do look forward to more IC meetings with you fine folks outside of Mhaldor as my character gets older and wiser more sinister and Evil.
Noone has posted this yet? I am disappointed in all of you! For shame!
hi and welcome
@Tohran @Nim: I'm a sucker for the version from the Rock n Roll Circus, myself.
