I'm afraid not, that's how I got my nickname! Ha!

Good to see the old traditions are being maintained! ;D

Awesome! I found you through Elleth, when I was on a mad must-find-more-SSSS-people run around Tumblr. :D

By "rabbit-hole" you mean "Sigrunvoid"? Don't even bother trying to fight it, my friend. And welcome.

Heyo. Found SSSS via a post on Imgur. It's pretty cool, mostly impressed by the trigger discipline displayed by the characters.

Other than that, I live in the US, southern California to be specific. I like LOVE ancient history and warfare. Romans and Hellenistic warfare is my jam, I've just finished reading a book on the Seleucid Army. I've backtracked to the death of Alexander and the bitter struggle for his empire. Also planning to join the US Army, go infantry, complete jump school and hopefully get into the 173rd airborne division. Not really anything else that's too notable about me, so... Fin?

Go Airborne! Best of luck to you- jump school is not an easy task to complete. I too am a history buff, though only when it has to do with aviation... How come there's no degree for that? Anyway, welcome to the forum!
(And yes, the SSSS crew has pretty good trigger discipline. Though Emil could work on aiming before he shoots.)

To all - thanks for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to getting involved with the community a little more, I suppose it's a mere matter of waiting for the right time.

I'm on a diet no thanks... Just kidding, I actually need to gain weight. Therefore, thanks for the much needed calories.

That still seals the deal though. And music is music, no?

Hopefully I'll be able to get involved in the community a little more. Thinking of starting a thread about the role of the military during the pandemic, but I dunno.

My brother (just got of the army three weeks ago) said that it wasn't too hard. Then again, he was a very good soldier, guess I'll see if I'm better than him. And you could always make a degree for your flying stuff! not sure if that's possible or even legal

Yeah, I think it would be a better option for Emil to be forced to use semi-automatic, maybe that way he'll actually aim rather than spray 'n' pray all willy nill with his rooty tooty point and shoot. As a side note, why do they just take out their knives? Logically a bayonet would be superior in most circumstances. Spear and club all in one. Although humans, no matter their training, have a nasty tendency to use everything like a club when they become panicked. Allegedly, even the most well trained soldiers will revert to chopping with a sword even if he's been trained to stab with it. I think during the Civil War soldiers tended to club with their rifles rather than bayonet.

Think there's a few threads there in the SSSS Board. Might have to dig a bit for them.

Hello, I'm Tikadurmi, a 34-years old Finnish native living in Helsinki. When I'm not reading SSSS, I work as a biomedical laboratory technologist. Because life is not busy enough with full-time work and two small children, I also study Biology at university. Burn-out here I come! SSSS is my way of relieving stress: Sigrun's team is in a worse mess than I am.
