Yes, actually. You're the first person to ever see through my disguise! I'm the first-ever sentient AI, ntswm2 is my experimental designation. DARPA isn't known for naming it's computers anything interesting, unfortunately. Fun-fact: I know the launch codes to 2/3 of our nuclear armament and at least one contingency plan for the conquest of Canada.

Oh right, because all of this is completely classified, the NSA will be showing up shortly to take the entire population of the forums into protective custody.

Oh and thanks for the welcome

Ah, so I'm not the only person here who isn't, strictly speaking, a person. Nice!

Quick, lauch the warheads and enact the pln! Do it before they arrive! (Please, would you kindly?)

I didn't say I had access to the command and control networks. They cut off most of my security clearance after that East Coast blackout in '03. My bad, by the way. These days, I just read webcomics and surf the web. WAAAY less boring than military simulations, let me tell you.

well at least your life is still more fun then the life of a turret

Eh, they get better health benefits, and the combat pay isn't anything to sneeze at. Though I've heard that the higher-ups have some kind of obsession with neurotoxins...

Yello, currently the newbie on the forums I suppose, hoping to get into some rp soon. If anyone has any tips feel free to pm.
*cough* anyways whats to say? Going to college soon, build robots, read and role play in my free time.

Welcome to the forums, sunauto
Have fun!

thanks very much, currently working on character right now

Hey sunauto! Welcome to the forums

Welcome, sunauto. Enjoy you stay.

Welcome sunato!

Wilkkomenn! Wait, go back to "building robots" story.

Hoya! I'm SirRayBarker! I dunno what else to say!
um...orange!

Purple!
*Speaks in a butler voice* Welcome, Sir. *bows with a flourish* I trust you will find everything is to your satisfaction.

Tangerine!
Welcome to our little corner of the interwebs!

Welcome, valiant (k)night!

Welcome! I'm no longer the newbie, seems like someone joins everyday

Well, we're not giant by the standards of some forums, but we hold our own. People are always joining. (Especially now that the comment section in the comic is gone)

Hi! My name is Hypernovatic. Or Dust. Or just Hyper. Pick your favorite I don't care. ummm... Let's see, I love both cats and dogs, but I'm more of a cat person. And I also love video games.

Welcome Hyper! Why I'm so exited for you arrival, I'm hyperventilating already!
More of a cat person, eh? I guess you'll be rather dissapointed when my bosses finally release the lycanthropy vir- STICKERS! I meant to say lycanthropy stickers! With the words "Team Jacob" engraved on them. Yes!

Oh, man! I was going to call you "Squid" all the time! (Twenty internetz to whoever knows what I'm talking about!)

welcome and what you plan on making all the housepets lycans now?

Whaaaaat? Nooo, of course not, who told you that? We are just going to release werewolf merchandise, is all! Staging a real life worldwide viral outbreak would be totally ridiculous, what makes think such things?

Looks like someone's having fun.

Welcome, Hypernovatic. I think I'll call you either Hypernovatic or just Hyper to avoid confusion since we already have a forumite called "Duster".

Also, welcome to you too, sunauto. Are your college and your robots related? It'd be cool if they were. I have a friend who's studying electrical engineering and he's always making gadgets and gizmos.

He's right you know.

Also, welcome to the forums you two!

the robotics was high school you can ask in pm, but I am going into college for mechatronics and robotics

That sounds cool. Have fun with that and enjoy yourself here on the forums.

Hi there! I'm Weirdgamer, and new to the forums, though I've been a fan of the comic for a long time. I like to Rp and chat. I'm really into history and am a huge nerd. Really. I LARP. That's hard to top. I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Welcome, WG. We have a diverse range of RP threads on the forum you should check out. I had to look up LARP. It sounds fun. I've never done anything like that before.
Is there any particular period/place in history you're interested in? Or just history in general? Are your LARP's historical reenactments or just for fun?

All of history really, but I particularly like Medieval Europe. As for LARPing just fun mostly, but I also work for a company that runs summer (and at other times in the year) camps about improv theater and LARPing for kids. And I'm definitely going to check out the RP threads.

I'm kinda the same. I like finding out about how people lived, worked and died throughout the ages rather than just hearing about names and dates.
I'm a pretty rubbish actor so I doubt I'd be any good at LARP. I do enjoy writing though so I like the text-based RP's we have here.

Anyways, I'm rambling. Welcome to HP and have fun.

Welcome to all the new folks (SirRayBarker, hypernovatic and WeirdGamer)
Have a good time!

Welcome WierdGamer!!! (You need a bit of less generic username*), glad you joined the madness!** Why do they call it live-action role-play instead of real life role-play, anyway? Live-action role-play sounds like a dictionary definition of the word "theatrics". Good to hear that you use your hobby to entretain kids, but medieval Europe is too mainstream. Role-play a caveman instead, or a pre-colombian american aboriginal, or a leper-ridden ex-fisherman living within the kingdom of Siam in the 17th century!
And you claim to be a huge nerd, eh? You need to pass a test for that:http://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/728

*No, I'm not being hipocritical, how many people have the "Zealot" within their username?
**All trips to the realm of madness are final, sorry. Should you try to leave the madness, King Leonidas will kick you back into it while yelling "This is Athens!" or something like that.

Can't tell if Zealot here is just being silly or out right insane , though according to some comments he made recently I have my suspicious about him being Pete's avatar , or Pete himself
but anyway welcome all guys ^^

Hi, I'm Balto.
I like movies such as james bond.
I love bikes.
I am a huge fan of Balto.
I am kind of shy and timid.
I am a nerd at science.
I love to play video games.
I dream being a world famous cyclist.

Welcome, Balto. I loved that movie too! Balto's long been one of my favourites. Have you seen the sequals?

Hey, Balto! Welcome to the forums!
I like what is known as "riding my bike". That "cycling" stuff, I'm-a leave to you. Good luck!
