Hello! I am NOT Dane Murgen. I am 16 years old, so I am obviously still in high school. I live in New Zealand, where high school=college and college=university. I can speak English fluently and can hold a conversation in Filipino if you let me use English words.

I've been lurking for like one month now, so I think it's high time to make myself known to the greater populace. It's only the polite thing to do.

Hello everyone! I'm a Norwegienne (that's not actually a word is it) who stumbled onto SSSS not long ago, through the language differences picture that went viral. I liked it so much I read it all and then read aRTD in less than one day. Now I'm doing a second binge reading to get through this (for me) first break. Because sleep is for pussies (cats sleep a lot) and people with adult lives to maintain.

Speaking of adult, I'm now 26 years of age and may actually be too old for this forum thing. I have not been active in a forum since Warren Ellis left the FreakAngels forum in 2011ish, so this is honestly a bit scary. I make my very first post here in the introductions thread because that made the most sense to me.

Welcome!  There's no such thing as "too old" for this forum -- some of us are considerably older than 26!  And I at least had never participated in a forum at all till now.  This is a very friendly place.

Ooo!  Are you a "Twin Peaks" fan?!?  If so, did you hear that they're finally going to do a sequel? 

Quote
Friends and family affectionately call me a troll due to my hair, however that doesn't come off as very positive from a SSSS point of view.
So you can call me by my name, which is Oda.
Glad to see another curly-top!

You're the leaven in our loaf, Oskutin.   :)

Seriously, members are always surprising me with all the badass things they know about or can do.  For just one example, literature student OrigamiOwl, who's been sharing pictures of her fluffy kitties, spends most of her vacations doing heavy farm labor.  Then there's the biologist/self-defense expert, the Norwegian blacksmith/poet, and on and on... 
I'm sure if the apocalypse were to come, I'd be safer around any random Forum member than anyone else short of a Green Beret.

Even if I'm just an engineer/guitarist, I've at least got a veritable army of engis and doctors nearby at any given time... not to mention the actual military presence...

If we could gather our resident Vikings and self-defense people at my school, I'm pretty sure we could wage war on America, win, and become a small nation.  Though, the notion of secession receives mixed (see also: polar opposite) replies from the people of my home...

Dude, you're making a video game.  You are on the frontier of art itself!  It might not be cute, but it is artistic.

I didn't deny that :P

This forum seems to be attracting generally intuitive people, more artistic idealists than cold rationals though (if we go with the categories and definitions).

Yup, that looks true! Bu now that I've read through those articles that mentioned the Bridge-Myers oersonality test, I'm wondering what is everyone's personality like (If you have taken the test at all). I took it a couple of years ago, got INFP, it looked perfect at the time, but I think I'm starting to become more of an ENFP now.

I for one am an ISTJ. I went through a phase a few months ago when I was obsessed with personality tests. May still be in that phase.

((and oh, we're clogging the introduction thread with non-introductions))

I'm INTJ, but I don't take this kind of test seriously. There are so many things affecting the outcome, most of all the fact that it's based purely on each test doers idea of themselves. It's more like a test of how you feel about yourself than what you really are like.

Think maybe this discussion could be continued in the general discussion thread? (I'd gladly continue this discussion; I don't want to act as the amateur forum police)
