I just realised that I have been rather lax at welcoming people. My seal is meant to keep me on track but has been goofing off chasing fish and jamming with Tanzwut. Bad seal!

In any case, welcome G0vnah, MysteryClassic, spartandude, Regolith247, Sananjalka and anyone else I may have missed!

lol, well, okay then. Better late than never! :D

Also, welcome to everyone who I missed, too. Sorry for not getting here sooner. I shall be more diligent in the future! :)

My thanks for the warm welcomes.

Isten hozott a fórumon!

Köszönöm szépen. Jót tenne egy kis gyakorlás. Nem lenne kedved föléleszteni a magyar témát?

A cookie? :squirrelcookie:

I presume those are made of pure meme flour, with lots of sugar? I really prefer cookies to candy, so I'll be quick to delete, ahem, consume them!

(Oh, survive they did ...)

Thank you for the useful link! I am trying to catch up with "Survivor communities outside the known world" before commenting the fate of the poor Sami any further... and that one is a long thread with lots of lengthy messages.

Just realized I never really introduced myself here, just randomly posted in the Scriptorium one day xD

I'm Jordan (a girl Jordan), I go by Dire or dire18 on The Internets because it's my old Neopets handle and the name just stuck (don't judge meeeee Dx). I started following Minna on Deviantart back before aRTD was being posted a very long time ago. I started actively keeping up with aRTD I think around chapter four. This seems like a great fandom and I'm happy to stop being a lurker and start actually being a member! And my dog is looking at me like I'm a jerk for writing this instead of scratching her belly.

I'm sure the dog will forgive you if you scratch her belly now. Dogs are nice, loving creatures like that. Well, most of them are. Most of the ones I've known are.

Welcome Dire :) :squirrelcookie:
I have to admit it was strange to see your name here the first time, because it's a verb in French ^^°

Mélusine: the verb is 'say', right? In English it's an adjective, meaning terrfying, scary, terrible - like 'dire consequences' or 'direwolf'. Languages can be weird.

Dire: or Jordan, which do you prefer? Welcome! I'm enjoying your writing and comments.

...the fate of the poor Sami...
I'm doing quite nicely, thank you :)
Spoiler: show
Sami is a common firstname in Finland (at least it was in the late 70s). It is derived from Samuel, not from the Sami-people. Use of Sami (in refering to Sámi-people is quite typical (see the wikipedia), but it really should be writen Sámi in english :)

Fellow lurkers unite! XD I was lurking for about half a year before making my presence known, so I can relate. :b Welcome!

In a sense, I would love to agree with you, since I like diacritics myself, but...

Spoiler: show
Who has given that regulation? After all, "no official or central regulating body defines Standard English." Wikipedia folks are rather interested in details like this; I have every reason to believe they would mention it if there was something wrong with the Sami variant.

My understanding is that both versions are quite acceptable. If I wrote Sámi, then, for consistency’s sake, I would have to follow the academic tradition with such English words as façade, jalapeño, naïve and reëlect. Quite frankly, I am too lazy to do that when no one seems to care. The diacritics in personal names and place names are enough of a job for me.


If anyone else likes to use the acute accent for Sámi, for any reason, I have absolutely no objections, though.

No one. Their formal body uses it as a correct form.  That is normative enough for me.
