9/11 was a conspiracy.

[Selothi]

Yeah, so now you're here, let me apologise for the scam. I don't care two hoots about peoples' views on 9/11, this was just a base way to hook you in. Anyway, I'm not good at talking about myself, but whatevs.

Born and raised in France to British parents, so I speak both languages and have the benefit of not belonging to either nation, meaning I can criticise both at will. I'm 17, love music of all kinds from Autechre and Deadmau5 to John Cage and Claude Debussy going through American and, more importantly, Icelandic post-rock, electro ambient, metal, prog metal, math metal, a bit of trip hop, etc ... Just don't mention anything about rap or pop and we'll be fine.

I've been playing the drums for 8 years now and have the long hair to go with it. I love RPing, lets me get away from the real world and makes me feel I'm better than most other people I know as I can actually use the bloody language I've learnt and been taught since a kiddo.

I'm not altogether sane in the head, and I don't mean in the dull way of "Oh ho ho, aren't I a jolly fellow who loves a good laugh, ha ha ha !". I have mood swings, a lot, I may act as happy-go-lucky as can be and then do a full U-turn and fling hate, scorn and cynicism on all of you wretched dregs of humanity (favouring the former mood right now). As such, don't take anything I say too personally: I may either be maniac, hiding depression or simply not give a shit but not want to hurt your feelings. Besides, this is the Internet, why take ANYTHING people say seriously ? You're all either middle-aged men, middle-aged men acting as women, spotty teenagers like me, or FBI agents.

Aside from all that jazz (did I mention jazz before ? I like jazz too) I play a fair bit of video games (RPGs and the occasional FPS to let off some steam), and that about sums up my infinitesimally pitiful existence. Glad to meet you all !

I'd just like to know what this forum's policy is regarding swearing ? I'm rather liberal with it when I'm allowed, personal viewpoint and all that, but if that's a major no-no, fine by me, I can behave.

Anyway, here's a smiley of the effects of inbreeding:

Cheers.

Hello, Selothi! It's nice to meet you. Welcome to FoG!

That's really neat that you were born in France but were raised by British parents. So do you have a British account or a French one (when speaking English)? Either one (or even a hybrid of the two) would be lovely. :]

As for your mood swings - at least you keep things interesting! That's a good point though about not taking things too seriously, especially online. People tend to talk more boldly online anyway, as it's much less personal, so lots of people will say things they normally would never say in real life.

Swearing? Totally allowed in all its forms. xD Haha.

Have fun!

[Selothi]

Then let me start by saying: fuck yeah !

I don't have a French accent, at all, when speaking French. When speaking English, I have slight Queen's English pronunciation, but no real accent to speak of, which does set me apart: people notice I have no accent whatsoever. That said, I can do a spiffing impression of a Frenchman speaking English. Can't do the opposite though, sadly.

And while variety is the spice of life, things do get out of hand at times. Naturally though, I wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China.

Bienvenue au Forum!

Des que j'ai vue que tu parlais francais je pensais que ce serais drole si je te saluais dans ma langue! Je viens du Canada, et plus precisement Montreal, Quebec. Je suis donc francophone.

Dit moi, dans quelle partie de la France as-tu grandi et as-tu un de ces accents aigus qui ont tous ces francais?

Ooooooooooooooooook back to english. Sorry about no accents on my words there, I have a bilingual keyboard, I am just WAY too lazy to switch it french then to english, etc, etc.

Welcome to FoG! I hope... no I KNOW that you will like it here.

[Selothi]

Let's hope we avoid attracting the ire of the Gods of this forum by speaking le francais.

Mais non, j'ai pas une voix aiguë, au contraire, assez grave. J'habite dans l'Ouest, région des Pays de la Loire, un peu au Sud Est de la Bretagne si tu vois.

And I hate RPing in French, find it so clumsy and pompous at times.

[Tartra]

If being a British/French mix actually made you a cyclops, you've become my hero on a level I never thought anyone could reach. Kudos to you, good sir.

[Dax]

Ah oui, la Bretagne! C'est tres beau comme bout de pays.

I feel EXACTLY the same way you do on the french RP'ing. You will rarely, if ever, catch me speaking french.

And pff, don't you worry. Everyone is DROOLING over our ability to speak Moliere's language.

[Shadow Moonseye]

Haha, Nice way to grab a person's attention there Selothi!

OOOH, secret talking! Is it full of secrets? I MUST KNOW.

Heheh, anyways, welcome to FOG Selothi! Take a look around the OOC threads to get to know your fellow foggers and share a little more about yourself; poke around the IC threads to see if there's any open RPs that catch your interest! If you've any questions feel free as ask any members or staff, we're all happy to help out and most of us don't bite. Too hard.

Enjoy your stay here in the swirling mists!

[Loki]

Welcome to FoG, Selothi.

I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind with your intro statement was this:

[Kalon Ordona II]

Welcome to the FOG, Selothi!
Dax finally has a French-speaking buddy! xD

Don't worry, I'm not jealous of the exclusivity secretishness. All I have to do is say something like, Lle sildári telärdë níerin ärda, and most of the world will just have to wonder.

Don't worry about the crazies. We can dig it in the FOG. ^_^
Welcome again, and enjoy the swirly mists!

[Silvan Arrow]

Welcome to FoG, Selothi! I think it's really cool that you're bilingual, and you seem like a really interesting person in general. I hope you're enjoying your stay here so far! Sounds like everyone has given most of the good advice already, so I'll just say to have fun and ask if you have any questions!

[Selothi]

Welcome to FoG, Selothi.

I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind with your intro statement was this:

Funny video. Albeit anime. *Shudders*

I won't quote each and every one of you, but thanks for the welcome. I'm a bit busy with finals right now, but that doesn't stop me from procrastinating, and a good RP is kinda what I might need, so I'll search the OOC board this evening. See y'all !
