This is worth breaking my self imposed posting moratorium.

Holy ****.

You do realize that nobody has seen or heard from you in like 7 or 8 years, right (and by nobody, I mean me, screw everyone else)?



I believe my profile is up to date, drop me an IM on whatever service floats your boat. My ICQ hasn't changed in since 1998, but i very much doubt your still have that info, so, cleck on the little icon under my name

Good to see you didn't fall off the planet (though New Zealand is dangerously close)!

Gunnery Control, commence plasma core insertion; target Maniax... sensor lock aquired; Fire!

The kill is mine, what have you done?

He killed the debris?

(If you watch any large capship battle with beam-free-all, the beams keep shooting at debris for a bit after the ships is destroyed)

[Mobius]

But the kill is mine.

Congratulations.  *slow handclap*

Well, it proves that we are welcoming and warm to outsiders, even if competitively so.

[aldo_14]

I can't do a fast handclap because some bugger shoved me into a wall at 5s, and my hand is still store.

[Nuclear1]

I knew it!

22nd Kill!

You can't really call it a kill because your not really killing anything.

[redsniper]

Your mom can't really call it a kill because your not really killing anything.

My mum slaughtered a wild boar this morning*

+ it was a hobo

[Flipside]

So help me, I'm going to hire some NTF Sabotuers for the Welcome Beam, and make none of you get the kill

[Mobius]

I can UL it on imageshack and continue to beam newcomers.

Hello to all my friends and acquaintances from the ol' days! 

So I was wandering around the internet in my usual bored stupor, when by chance, I stumbled upon this place and to my surprise, immediately saw at least 4 names that I remember oh so well!  I'm happily amazed to see so many folks from the heyday of the FS universe still in one place (and active!), though it makes me feel a bit regretful that I've never stopped by here before. Oh well, such is life, and a long-delayed reunion can taste so much sweeter than a short one. It's great to see you some of you guys around!

Shout out to Inquisitor, Thunder, Ace, Hunter, Windrunner, BlueFlames, IceFire, and any other of my favorite wackos who might be around that I missed! It's hard for me to fathom that it's been more than 5 years since I last have seen some of you, but I guess it has. Short version of what's been up with me since: I traded my Ulysses for a sword and shield as I descended into fantasy MMORPG madness, started a guild, found a girl through said guild, moved 1400 miles to be with said girl, got engaged, moved to New Zealand for school, and am now doing some psychology and religion studies along with my fiancee.  I owe a lot to the old FS community for putting me on the path that my life's been following, so here's my five-year late THANK YOU!!! for all the good times!

Now what have you all been up to?

DUDE

Really a long time no see. It took me a few seconds before i remembered your nick. Its really awesome to see you again. You left Ross128 shortly aftern I joined the crew, great to see that you found your way here. Hope you can stay a litle bit long this time.

What have I been up to you ask, well pretty mutch the same as you expect from the moving 1400 miles part. I finished highschool, finished college, found myself a well payed job, bought a car and an appartment. And last but not least found myself a beautiful girlfriend. Thats short description of my life in the past 6 years

[IceFire]

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! I expect very few people will remember me, as I was more of a background member of the community. Maniax was my one and only callsign, and Ace has it right .  I was the founder of the old Ross 128 news site, though my contributions were eclipsed by the more active folks I mentioned above (excluding IceFire, who wasn't cool enough to be a R128 member ). 

Janos - I'm in Wellington's suburb of Northland. Are you in NZ too?

I'm sure I'll haunt this place once in a while now that I've found it still going strong. Was there ever any official word released as to the FreeSpace story post-Capella?

Ross 128!  RIGHT!  Yes I remember...you guys were awesome.  Nickname I now remember too!  Yes I wasn't cool enough for Ross128...I was busy with Planet FreeSpace at that time I think.  Hosted on Planet Descent at the time and then later FreeSpace Watch.  I can't remember exactly.  Wow...that was a long time ago

[Wild Fragaria]

Sounds like a big family reunion *cheering*

[Cobra]

Umm, I never got around to seeing those sites until I found a few dead links; what was the Ross128 site, anyway? A mod news site or something?

And uh, welcome back Maniax, even though I don't know who you are...

[EDIT] And apparently Fragaria's back.

[NGTM-1R]

They were SOC posing as NTF sabotuers.

[jr2]

But the kill is mine.

One would think that Maniax was a newbie or something... you can't kill a big old capship with one BFGreen!  : In fact, if my sensor readings are correct, he's now at 17% hull, so you may have the final shot, Lt. Gen. Mobius... but you'd better hurry up, before my beam cannon recharges! 

[Cobra]

Will you shut up? Who the hell cares about a stupid welcome and speech post?! It doesn't freaking matter, it's supposed to be a formality, not a goddamn spam fest!
