Right then. Hello. I'm obviously new. I'm here because after constantly hearing one Linko_16 rave endlessly about this place for I don't know how long, I figured that if it's that amazing here, it's worth checking out.
Holy crap, is that a Strago icon? That's a Strago icon. Holy holy holy. I love you people already. I'm using that for this.
Anyways, you can just call me TK. I've been to dozens of message boards over the years, and it really takes a special one to hold my interest, so I may only be around for maybe half a year tops if you're not such a board. If you are - and from what I've heard from Linko that's the case - you're going to have a tough time getting rid of me, so if you have to hate someone for my eternal presence, hate Linko. Now there are probably a dozen other things I should be saying here, but I'm not good with introductions, so you'll just have to get to know me.
So that was for the most part stiff and awkward, but introductions are probably the only time you'll see me unsure of myself. See you around the board, I guess.
Hello then! Watch out for that Linko though, he's one baaaaad apple.
Welcome to vgc yo.
HI IM DAISY
Welcome :)
Thank you all. Especially Roger, 'cause that was quite funny, far as I'm concerned. Now if you could please indulge a newbie's ignorance, I have a couple questions about the board. You'd think -someone- might have explained some things instead of sending me in here blindly, but what'cha gonna do?
First off, I'm not sure what's up with "rep points" and "rep power". If it was just the points, I would probably have a good guess, but throw the power into the mix and I'm just bewildered. Secondly, I'm completely baffled by how some posts have "X agrees" or "Y disagrees." That's something I've never seen anything -remotely- like on any of the other boards I've been on, and can't figure out how those happened, so some form of explanation would be appreciated.
Those are really my only questions, but I feel it's worth commenting that this place seems terribly intimidating for some reason and I'm having trouble bringing myself to post somewhere. Please bear with me as I adjust to the board. Oh, one last thing, can I get a smiley chart or something? There's probably one somewhere, but I can't seem to find one. I don't know what all I can do, and I do so love expressing emotions. Text is rather cold, you know. ... Don't worry, I won't pelt you with dozens of smilies every post.
Don't worry, everyone, TK's a cool dude. Get used to it.

I know for a fact that I would never rave about this crap-hole.
Srsly, though, it has some cool people, and I do make references to both boards, since we often talk about the same new games and current events, and I want to share good points I hear in one place, but not the other. There's also when I was just talking about Linko Man vs. ZPC, one being the comic based on VGC in-jokes and the other being the comic based on ZP in-jokes.

Agreeing and disagreeing is rep, a.k.a. reputation. You can click the little scales icon in the lower-left corner of each post, and a pop-up will appear, and you can "agree" or "disagree" as well as give a short message. When you agree, however much "rep power" you have is added to their "rep points." When you disagree, half your rep power is taken away. Whatever message you gave will also appear on their post as "TK_hawk agrees: blah blah blah." I forget exactly what variable increases your rep power, but it obviously has something to do with your rep points. Check your user CP to see where you've received the latest reputation.

At the bottom of the reply page on the left is a little box that tells you what codes are working. Click on the "smilies" link, and there you have it. Most of them are just frivolous ones that are never used, added by our zany admin. Watch out for him. :/
Also, you should've removed the "K" from your name. Then you could've been named after a lost Street Fighter.
Hi, TK. :P
We used the same icon for our intro threads. That makes you my new best friend.
HI I LIKE SEX LETS HAVE SOME
Hmm, another new member that shows promise! By all means, stick around. Or don't. [I]BE THAT WAY.
HUGE BLOCK OF TEXT.
hi.
Well Mr.Awesome became a daily member and it's actually pretty interesting to read his posts.
Hope TW does the same.
Soon, you will no longer post walls of text. FIVE WORDS MAX REPLY ON VGC
lol
True story.
Welcome to the board. Have fun or something.
'Sup
From noob to noob, hello!
...and I seriously never knew this smiley chart was down here.
:bounce:
hahahahahahaha
:wacko:

That's too many words. :mad:
Honestly, I'm not really a "wall of text" guy. I just tend to ramble when I'm nervous, and to tell the truth, you people are scary.
And most of your smilies are kind of... you know. You know?
I know. :cool2:
We all know.
Little fuzzy teddy bears that shoot lazors from our eyes and spew forth pestilence and plague from our bowels amirite?
I don't **** lethal bacteria. I would thank you to stop slandering me with your filthy lies.
No Roger. Little fuzzy teddy bears that bring joy into the hearts of children.
I hate kids...
So you'll just be one of those grumpy looking teddy bears.
Is it strange that Grumpy Bear was my favorite Care Bear?
Just means you knew where you were going in life at an early age.
I'm a nice guy. Really.
Okay, Speedy.
Man, when you people get started, you really don't stop, do you?
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
I don't get it.
do you like us :-*
like us like us?
Singular? I'm the clear choice, then.
**** YES, YOU ARE THE BEST NEW MEMBER EVER.
Spice and Wolf is a good anime.
For the record, not everyone here is an enormous tool, just pretty much everyone you just met.
Thanks.
Well, after all, tools are what build the world, neh?
Oh, that was a good one, I have to remember that one.
Better to be the one who uses the tool.
Am I a tool? Am I? AM I?!
Hi TK, welcome.
I STILL LIKE SEX
Iris is the biggest tool.
I think you mean she has the biggest tool!
oh, linko
Oh boy im late...
Welcome to VGC
I'm bewildered but think it might be better that way.
You'll understand soon enough, bozu.
I read this and thought of you all. And this thread.
For the record, I don't see how that has anything to do with this thread at all. Well, one post here, maybe. It wasn't by me, of course.
The resemblance is uncanny. This is obviously a comic about VGC.
cad rule in full effect there
Hey.
