Title: Introductions
Description: Say Hi! Tell us what irritates you.
The Ref - August 15, 2006 07:00 PM (GMT)
I'll get the ball rolling here.
Hi.
You can call me The Ref, or Ref for short. I'm the primary administrator here. No need to fear me for that, though. I intend to participate on this board in a primarily admin capacity. Something need to get fixed or there's some modification that needs doing, I'll take care of it. I'll leave most of the ranting and debating to everyone else.
I do have an NS nation, which I may use to post here from time to time, I haven't decided yet. If any are aware of which nation that is, please keep it to yourself. For the purposes of this board, The Ref is administrator and nothing else. I hold no bias towards any particular faction or belief system. It would run contrary to the goal of this board were it to be otherwise. As such, I prefer the anonymity and would appreciate it staying that way.
The only thing that really irritates me is mindless anything. Mindless faith, belief, hatred, optimism, pessimism, devotion, obedience, or whatever else. If there is no logical backup for a thing, whatever it may be, I see little reason to adhere to it. Feel or believe what you wish, but have a reason for it.
That's me in a nutshell. Who the fuck are you? :ph43r:
Nihilx - August 15, 2006 07:43 PM (GMT)
:cuss:
Nihilx. You can call me Nihilx. Don't shorten it. That irritates the everlovin' fuck-monkey out of me.
I'll be your secondary admin. I'll also be the more vocal of us. I too have a nation who's existence is irrelevant to this site, so don't bring it up. I'm an arrogant, belligerent prick. I love to argue. If at any time it looks like a debate might be about to die prior to any real conclusion, I'll flip a coin. On heads, I'll come up with something really contradictory just for the sake of continuing the debate. On tails, I'll probably flip the coin again.
I can, and will, find almost anything annoying. Just depends on how much sleep and food I've had recently. I try not to randomly troll, but every now and then the temptation is rather too large to resist. If you think I'm out of line, scream at me. Call me names. Piss on my puppy. Nothing excites me more than watching people lose it - even if it's at me.
I'll mostly leave people's rants alone. Others can discuss them, but I prefer to let them vent in peace. Personal preference - just sit back and enjoy the show.
For irritation, apologetic tirades. I don't mean a tirade meant to apologize about something. I mean a tirade that is overflowing with statements like: I'm sorry, but.... or I don't mean to be rude.....or in any way attempt to apologize for what they are. If you're gonna vent, just vent. Let it out. Apologies can come later, if necessary, in private. Don't apologize for being upset about something. If something upsets you, it upsets you. Apologizing for feeling that way is simply belittling yourself. It says that whatever upset you has more right to exist than your reaction to it. If you honestly think so little of yourself, maybe you're right. Then you really have no right to be upset by people walking all over you and your beliefs.

Karmicaria - August 16, 2006 05:13 AM (GMT)
Okay, most of you should know who I am. If not, then I guess I'll have to tell you.
I'm Karmi. Full nation name is Karmicaria.
I'm a mod here in case anyone missed that. I won't get all mod-like on your ass unless I feel that you deserve it. Honestly, you'll have to try pretty hard to piss me off. I have a strange, twisted sense of humour. I play better with the boys than I do the girls(Enough out of you Kiv!). That shouldn't be an issue though considering that there is only one other female here that I know of.
So, yeah. I don't really have much else to say at the moment.

You behave now. There will be no threads about my boobies here. Wait a minute....what the hell is wrong with me. Maybe I should steal a quote from the DEFCON forum made by Kiv.
| QUOTE (Kivisto) |
Yes. Yes it really is. I think everyone should be able to enjoy the glory that is verbalizing the pleasure of your boobies. |
Good to see you've finally made it here Cluich.
You may now give in to temptation Cluich. :D

No.
THAT is hot.
Wogglesplat - August 18, 2006 03:35 AM (GMT)
Yeah, I have a UN nation. Yeah, you probably think you can figure out what it is. You probably also think I give a rat's ass whether you can figure it out. I don't. I'm here to be rude, obnoxious and negative. Comes naturally for me. I'll also try to throw in arrogant and condescending if I have time. <_<
Karmicaria - August 18, 2006 03:41 AM (GMT)
Good dammit! That's why we set this forum up. Have at it!
StEdmund - August 18, 2006 04:06 PM (GMT)
My, what an interesting selection of smilies this forum offers...
Testing, testing, :boom:

Discoraversalism - August 22, 2006 02:45 PM (GMT)
Hi. Glad to see this forum :) When someone is trying to lure me off topic I think I will now suggest to them we take it outside.
Hell, I think I'll put that in my sig.
Anyway, would anyone mind if I take things I post here and repost them elsewhere? I can leave out other nations names and whatnot, and make sure I'm not reposting anything anyone else posted (not even as a quote or whatnot).
It's just that to keep track of what I've been up to online I tend to post reminders to myself on my LJ.
tzorsland - August 22, 2006 06:41 PM (GMT)
I am Tzor, the guy who created the nationstate Tzorsland. I also have a number of other puppet nations all derived from tzorsland, Retired Werepenguins and Frustrated Franciscans.
I promise not to start any thread on Karmicaria's boobies, after all this is the place to rant, and I can only rave about them. :P On the other hand, if Karmicaria feels the need to rant about boobie threads, then by all means get it off your chest.
So let the ranting begin. I can't wait to rant. Wait, that's not a rant. :rolleyes:
Gruenberg - August 22, 2006 07:34 PM (GMT)
Gruenberg (usually "Gruen", or something to do with goats). Plenty of things annoy me, though I'm not fanatical about anything in particular.
Official HotRodian Puppet - August 24, 2006 02:57 AM (GMT)
A lot of things annoy me. I've come to accept some of them over the years, but there's still quite a bit to be annoyed about for me.

Welcome to the forum. :D
Ninhursaga - August 25, 2006 04:39 PM (GMT)
Greetings.
What annoys me? Alot of things annoy me. Too many to list here.
If you're wondering how I found this place, a friend told me about it. They also told me about NS. Seems like fun.
Ceorana - August 28, 2006 03:36 PM (GMT)
I'm Ceorana, or Ceo, or late for dinner. One of those... :argh:
A lot of things annoy me. Near the top of the list is excessive use of the word "fuck" instead of actual reasoning to make a point.
I shall now rant to my heart's content. :rant:
Karmicaria - August 28, 2006 03:51 PM (GMT)
Welcome Ceo. Good to see you here.
Now, to be the bitch that everyone thinks I am.
Fuck! Fuck! Fucking fuck! Fuck fuck fuck! :pttf:
There. I don't think that was nearly excessive enough, but I don't feel like typing that much.
How you enjoy bitching as much as the rest of us do. :P

Don't feel like going to find it, but I seem to recall at least one where you used something like "fluffy bunnies" in place of every swear that would have otherwise been there. It was frickin hilarious.

Hello, you may know me as Ecopoeia. Not sure how often I'll be logging in here, but I like ranting (not that you'd know from Jolt), so if I feel the urge, I now have a place to come to. Marvellous.
Oh, and smilies suck the big wang. Every time any of you use one, my estimate of your intelligence drops a notch.
Karmicaria - September 15, 2006 03:03 PM (GMT)
Welcome Eco.
Sorry you feel that way about smilies. I will at try to refrain from using them.
tzorsland - September 15, 2006 06:01 PM (GMT)
OK then I won't use them. After all I wouldn't want to give you an inaccurate estimation of my vastly superior intelligence.

This on the other hand isn't a smilie. It's an old picture of my St. Francis Garden.

:) Yeah that's how I read it.
What does a smiley mean? To me they qualify a statement some how. There are some people who will be genuinely pissed off, and lose all reason, if you say the wrong thing to them on an online forum. Sometimes sticking a smiley on the end of a statement that might otherwise drive them to madness soothes their fragile little egos some how.
To them I say, WTF is wrong with you! :)
Man or Astroman - September 17, 2006 03:10 AM (GMT)
To be fair to Eco, I'm not the biggest fan of them. At least, not outside of private messages.
I prefer to express myself clearly. Emoticons sometimes indicate that the author thinks so little of their audiance that they believe the audiance needs roadsigns. Also, they're frequently used to try and pass off honest flaming as "just kidding around".
"Fuck off and die you piece of shit; I hope you get hit by a truck! :P "
Somehow, that still strikes me as being a dick.
Of course, sometimes they're just amusing: :excite:
