Oh boy, a lot of people to reply to! Sorry for logging in later than I thought I would - I had other business to take care of.

Anyway...

@Purgatory: Teawater... Eh, I just drink water.

@Tea: No worries! It wouldn't really apply to me anyway~

@Kain: Is my laughter organic, or is it treated with chemicals? Anyway, I read the rules. Most of it is common sense things for me, haha.

@Jamie: I dunno. I don't know you well enough yet. Some people just don't stay after they register, you know. That's their thing. xD But who knows! I'm courageous enough to take on anyone~

@Kioll: I care! I'd probably go with Kioll, or KO. That sounds cool. I'll take a look at that thread after this, and see if I can contribute something.

Okay, I know I'm super new to this particular site, but I've been around some GS forums for a few years. I haven't been consistent, but I have noticed a general decline in activity (with the exception of the GS Tumblr community.) I guess a part of why this site is declining could be because this site has a specific interest that focuses on a specific game series. It's too niche, in in GS standards. But, please correct me if I'm wrong in my assumptions. I am aware that I am a new member.

I'm not sure if you guys would work as a Roleplaying community, at least right now. The last post in your Roleplaying section was in 2011, with the exception of the thread I created tonight. Even though I love roleplaying, I don't exactly feel like it's within your current interests as a group. Developing in that direction would be too big of a change, perhaps.

General community sites are good if you have consistent activity, lots of new content for people to get involved in, and a general sense of family or identity. I don't know you guys well enough to judge that, but I bet someone here could give a decent opinion.

A guide on the entire GS series sounds interesting, but what other places out there offer similar information, even if they're not altogether? Either way, compiling data for people who are into this sort of thing, like you guys, would be a great project to rally around. But, that takes a lot of time and people power. Do you have the current resources to keep this up as a group over a longer time than you anticipate? And, how do you expect this to attract new members? It seems that it would only bring in people who are looking for data, and not necessarily staying here for the people. You kinda need to build both and keep them growing together somehow.

Or, maybe I'm just rambling at 2am in the morning.

They're a nice group of people. Then again, most forums I've been on have been friendly overall.

Anyway, maybe I should focus more on my spriting. I kinda flail at it right now, and I'm still getting used to Paint.NET and its various fun toys. But I like doing art, and most sprites are small enough to where I don't go all Miss Perfect on it.

[Rose:]

At my university, I used to be a Freshman Assistant. This means I helped new students get used to college life in general. One thing we focused on was making them feel comfortable and chummy with one another, and we used games to help this process along.

Thorns and Roses is an interesting game that my fellow employees use to get to know their Freshmen better. It's voluntary, and it helped people share things that were important to them, personally.

Basically, you start off with a thorn, or something unpleasant, then follow-up with something great that happened (a rose). You can share more than one for each, but it'd be good to keep thorns to a minimum. I hope this thread helps people not only vent about their day, but to share the little things that made them happy~

I'll start.

Rose: Had some yummy sushi and miso soup for lunch. I love eating these sorts of things (*coughnotbecauseI'mAsiancough*), and I never get tired of them. I guess I like shrimp sushi the best, although I love all sorts... especially salmon.

Thorn: Haven't gotten much sleep over the last couple of days due to stress about various things. It's gonna affect my schoolwork, for sure...

Rose: Was able to spend some quality time with a friend who is like a big bro to me. We were able to share some private things about ourselves, and it was refreshing. I'm glad he was able to open up to me like that.

That'll do for now.

Cut 'Cut' out. Please. It has to go. Sorry that I can't contribute much to the moves discussion. I just work with what I got. I'm semi-competitive, by the way.

Anywho, I'm excited for the new games. I'm probably going to get X, but my boyfriend wants to team up with me, so... I need to coordinate with him on what game to get. Chespin is my starter of choice. It looks like it has a hat, AND it's the first grass starter that isn't based off of a reptile. That's just... special to me. 

@Rolina: Hehe. That's true. Spriting is kinda fun... when I get my lazy butt up and moving.

@Knight of Purgatory: I found this place out from the affiliates section on ToK.


Anyway, nice to meet you both. Thank you for the nice welcome. :)

Water. It's been water ever since I was a little kid. I usually drink tap since the water where I live is really clean. Bottled water just tastes a little too... stale? I can't choose the right word for it.

Hello! I was curious about this place, so I decided to register and hang around.

In terms of hacking experience... I have none. But I like people. And I love playing the game. Maybe I can be of some use in that way, haha. Anyway, I hope to get to know you all.
