@Alligatoramberlee CoW always looked fun! And I was also at CoT2! Obviously there are better places than here, but I would absolutely love to chat with you about it sometime, learn who you played, etc! It’s possible we even ran into each other!
@BrokenVoid Thank you very much for the warm welcome! I’ve definitely been going through the various rules and guides on here, all very helpful! Unfortunately it looks like I need to wait until I’m at a higher level of trust before I can post in the hobbies or larping threads, although I have definitely taken note of both! (Unless there is some other reason those forums are locked to me that I am missing.) But I’m sure I’ll be seen in there quite a lot.
Yup, it’s just a matter of lurking on the forum for a little while. It helps make sure people get an idea of how the forum works before they start posting a lot.
Welcome to the Fam, Cyn! I just noticed the notifications about newbies, and haven’t really woken up enough yet to fully engage or read much, but I will shortly, and I’ll give y’all a proper welcome
Hello! My name is Rhiannon, but online I go by Rhino (which can be shortened to Rhi). I’m completely new to all of this. I stumbled upon a book on my phone while in school, and it led me to the discovery of everything that I have read today about today.
I went through the Guide, and I was told I was best suited for Thornmouth. Afterwards, I was taken on a new journey and found this server. I will say, I’m a rather shy person, and not good with starting conversations, but if its something that peeks my interest, like art and music, then I give full attention to the people talking.
I also limit myself from electronic usage (especially after a year in quarantine), but I get online as often as I can and when I remember to do so . Bare with me though, I’m good at heart, and I’m Told that I have a great voice of reasoning in difficult situations. Now I just have to catch myself up to speed with all the great things that I’ve missed.

Heyo! I’m going by Alecto, hence the username here, though I’m known by other things on various parts of the internet. I’m a new Lunivox-bearing Thornmouth, if I’ve gotten that phrasing correct.
I found this place through a friend (hi @Cynical ), and while I haven’t actually gotten around to reading the books yet, I’ve been lurking around on the forums a little, and really ought to introduce myself already. I am an avid reader of far too many things at once, a fan of larping, and I have an interest in puzzles and ARGs.
I am, ah… not terribly good at the social aspect of things, but I hope I can carve myself out a nice comfy corner to be shy and do puzzles in, while occasionally interacting meaningfully with you all.

I do believe I’m officially, formally, all caught up! Books read cover to cover, post-book forum posts read, and ideas percolating!
… Now to do my darndest to actually catch up on all the tasks I put off for a week to do this, because hyperfixation is a doozy. (And not, as my brain really wants me to do, reread everything start to finish but this time take notes.)
… I may have found myself in the deep end, friends.
@Erinyes, is Erinyes the username you prefer? I saw you mentioned Alecto above, but wanted to be sure you landed on the username you prefer as it’s MUCH easier to change in the first days of joining.
Hey! Thanks so much for the offer, but, ah, no thanks! While it’s true, I do like the name Alecto, as it happens, I like it so much it’s what I’ve chosen as a first name for myself. And I suppose I’m still in the classic “never give your real name out on the internet” mindset. Which, of course, I’ve sort of done anyway, but I’m still happy with my account name being at least one step removed.
The “hence the account name” was just me referencing the fact that Alecto was the name of one of the furies, or erinyes, in Greek mythology. (Yes, I’m a bit of a mythology nerd, if it wasn’t obvious from the name )
Y’know, a friend just made me realize you might be asking for the sake of making things easier on the backend, so I don’t have two names in whatever super secret database I’m sure you use to keep track of all the wonderful story things that happen around here. In that case, I’d be happy to take the change to Alecto, I’m not super attached to “Erinyes”. Especially with such an inviting environment around here, I don’t mind the first name at all!
Great to hear from you again @Lander ! Since it’s been so long I’ll give you the intro rundown again so you can pick up wherever you’re comfortable.
