[Liquid Fire]

First off, I've been viewing this forum for some time now and have finally decided to start posting. While I may be a newb here, I'm not known as a newb elsewhere. I do the soupe du jour on planet descent, in addition to posting on 4 or 5 other forums. So don't worry about noobish behavior.

Second, I've downloaded the scp and it seems I can't access any more advanced weapons in the later levels. I'm stuck with rockeyes and tempests. This is...more than a little annoying.

Third, I'd like to thank Maeglamor for having a link below his avatar which reminded me to download firefox

Just thought I'd warn everyone that I'm posting now :devil:

Let the posting of welcome to hlp pics begin!

[Bobboau]

did you make a new pilot?

[color=66ff00]No worries.

Welcome to Hard Light.

[Liquid Fire]

Yes, I did make a new pilot.

Also, I was wondering if I'd get badgered for thread necromancy if I posted in the mspaint thread. The last post does say there's more to come.

oy, liquid! welcome to HLP!

Welcome to HLP. There are exits to the left and rear. Do not attempt to use them. Under your seat you will find empty beer cans, cookie crumbs, corpses of newbies, dog eared dungeon Porn mags left by Shrike... oh, and a Flamethrower. Unfortunately, we're out of napalm, so you'll have to bludgeon people to death with them.

In the event of serious conflict, there are plasma rifles in the forward locker, though these can only be opened by an Admin, [V], God, or Hyperintelligent shade of the colour Blue. If, for whatever reason, you find yourself crawling around in the ductwork, there's a better than average chance you'll encounter a Shivan. They're easy to spot with the five legs and all. If you're lucky, it's just Carl, who responds well to food rewards. If not, then at least you die quickly. Be aware that the entrance to the main control room is guarded by subspatial claymore mines.

Do not mention FS3. Karajorma's FAQ is your friend. The SCP team is über. Have a nice day.

Talk about a get-to-the-point way of initiating the newbs

[Corsair]

Welcome to HLP!
Exits are to the rear and left, in case of emergency shotguns are located under the seats. Knife fights are strictly prohibited in favor of more interesting 35mm mortar duels and machete jello wrestling. Heavy weaponry, such as plasma rifles, are located in the weapons lockers, but these can only be unlocked by an admin or a Volitioner. The giant rats in the barracks are not for eating. If you happen to come across a Shivan in the air ducts, don't worry, it's probably just Carl. Toss him your lunch (or your lunch money) and he'll go away. If he doesn't... pray. That will be all, we hope you will enjoy your stay.

EDIT: Oh yes, and in the event of a Steak flood, you may be used as a flotation device.

[Liquid Fire]

Hmmm...it seems I'm having trouble getting an avatar.

Quoth, the avatar info:

Here's the list of currently available avatars:

If you have more than posts, you may also specify your own custom avatar.

Notice the distinct lack of a list of available avatars and the fact that it didn't actually tell me how many posts I need to do a custom avatar.

Could someone please fill me in?

[Corsair]

You get no avatar unless you are on a project or an admin.

[phreak]

someone may want to change that message, if possible.

A steak flood?

...

That's messed man.  Seriously messed.

[Liquid Fire]

Thanks for the information. Just out curiosity, was there an incident of someone abusing avatar priveliges, or is it just to distinguish modders from mere mortals?

Even if there were a steak flood, unless you're on top of it while it cascades down, there's no way to float on it.

I don't float all that well anyways.

Shrike, you don't remember that part of the welcome message? It's from long ago... back when Steak was around a lot.

[Grey Wolf]

Corsair's welcome message was superior, due to being far closer to the "classic" welcome message with the whole shotgun thing, but the Steak flood thing is bizarre.

No, because I never pay attention to the welcome messages.

Well he does have a genetic predisposition towards bukkake.
