Hey members of Legacy. Here stands (well, sits literally) the newest member of the tribe, until someone else comes and takes my throne.

I must say this site is HUGE compared to all the other Pokemon sites Ive been on. I dont normally join big sites like this, I tend to go for the newer ones but they never stay active for long. Lets hope this baby doesnt die on me. Maybe Im just cursed or something?

Anywhos, just getting my hello and sign up out the way with. Now thats done time to move on, yay me!

Welcome. There's no escape now. Abandon all hope.

Don't worry. We're not so huge as we appear; the number of members is largely dead weight. And I wouldn't worry that that's an indication of decline; we've had our ups and downs, but we've been going for nigh seven years now. We'll outlast you. And that's a challenge.

I must advise, though, that the chicky you've got in your avatar is in use. I have no idea who she is or where she's from, but hey. Figure you'd want to stake your own territory rather than harken to one of our admins, so... maybe wanting a new look. But hey, it doesn't hurt to remind people of Mira; she's pretty much everyone's favourite, so that can't really hurt you.

So, once again, welcome. Hope you stick around, you seem like a good sort.

My favourite part of that game is when Neku told her to "Shut the hell up."

How are you doing that with your mouth?

Awww bugger took me ages to find a decent looking anime character, and the one I do find is taken! Darn it! Is it completely necessary to find a new character or can we all just forget thats theirs two similar characters on Legacy?

Wow, seven years, that really is a long time for an IF Pokemon site to stay up and running. Im impressed, youve sucked me in completely now. At least Im guaranteed all the work I do wont be deleted due to the closing of a site.

And thanks for the welcome, Yorklax. Dont worry; I am the good sort hehe.

I cant say Ive actually played the game yet, I do intend on buying it just as soon as it comes down in price. I work in a game store but I think everything is overpriced there, even with 25% discount.

Well. You don't actually need a picture of your character to function. I've never had one of mine, aside from a crap-ass sprite that I made awhile ago. It's not that people will have trouble distinguishing between your characters... it's that whenever people see your avatar, they're going to think of Mira. I did. And like I say: I think you want to stake out your own territory and not get people thinking of you only in comparison to Mira.

I think you're a keeper. It's just a feeling that I get. So my advice would be to change the avatar.

So. To really get into this community, you should get into chat. It's kind of a pain to do so initially these days, you need to register on Ezboard or Yuku or something, as it still runs off the free chat room on our old site (we haven't always been on IF). It's worth it, though; we rock out.

And um... don't worry too much about playing the games. I think the majority of our admins haven't played the most recent generation at all. Personally, I find actually playing the Pokemon games unbearably tedious, and don't have any intention of ever playing them.

I think she meant the game that her character image is from. In which case nobody here understands that comment I just made. And this thread is all about me now.

And... hi. Read the rules. Someone always says that.

How are you doing that with your mouth?

I like the touch-ups you did with the avi. ^^

Butyea, pretty much what York said: since Mira was using it first, that character will be automatically identified with hers. So unless you like people mistaking you for Mira all the time (I wouldn't consider that flattering. >.<), although there's no real reason why you can't; go ahead if you like. I don't think it'll be much of a matter with everyone anyhow. And Mira's kinda not active...again. It could work.

Also! I never really got the need for sites to close themselves. Or delete members. Or...all those tedious stuff that's frustrating and selfish rather than somehow just let other people willing to make it work take the reigns. But rest assured Legacy won't ever do something that lame. <3

Mira will probably change it to some other pink haired anime/vg chick the next time she logs on anyway.

Ya know I never thought there'd be a less compelling chat conversation than "what chat text colour should I use?" but... here we are.

How are you doing that with your mouth?

Yeah, Im kinda having trouble getting onto that chat thingy? Until I figure it out Ill just get to know everyone on the forum.

Yeah I see what you mean. Ive changed it anyways, kinda the same avatar save for the medieval like girly in it. But its okay to use that character as my character, of course theyre gonna be completely different and whatnot?

KJ: Thanks for the welcome, and Ive read the rules. Im gonna have to go back on them from time to time, cant expect my ikkle brain to take all that in at once and remember it, hehe.

Shadowheart: Ta for the complements. Im guessing you designed the banner of the site (assuming from the Shadowheart logo in the corner), if so, you have some serious talent.

Welcome aboard, Sierra! I've taken a cursory glance at your RP threads, and I've to say, most of these new members have seriously been undertaking some kick-ass roleplaying. Honestly, I haven't seen such amazing first posts. You seem to have a certain passion for writing, as do many of the people here already, and it is always good to see a bright young mind here.

You seem kind, intelligent, and a pretty cool person overall, plus your avatar reminded everyone of Mira, so that's a definite plus. She's the resident lover lover here (haha, bad joke on my part, as usual. You'll come to learn that later once you're part of the Legacy Chat, which is a bitch to register for, but someone will tell you. I can't. People had to tell me), and the fact that you reminded everyone of her is indeed a benefit to you. Brownie points.

Um, other than welcome and read the rules, I guess I have nothing to really offer you. Enjoy your stay here, and I hope you continue to make some marvelous posts here as a role-player. Chao, darling.

- Prophetic

EDIT: You have amazing avatar skills, btw. Really nice work you gotif that is your actual work and design (not the person, the stuff in the background). Arts and prose: a deadly combination.

Eh. Avatars need nothing to do with characters, or even the self behind the characters. Go Jedi squirrels! :D Honestly don't pay them much mind myself...particularly after Jolt's Red Riding Hood and wolf one. @.@ Eh, either way, it also won't necessarily have associations for everyone either. I don't recognize the former user of it, anyhow.

And on the site survival...so far, this site has survived me (and I've had a number of sites die under my feet as well...it's hard to find good ones with staying power), so it'll probably survive you as well. *g* Either way...welcome, and hope you enjoy your stay.

I certainly can't wait until I've got free time again so I can get things rolling again... >.>;;;

Thanks for the compliments, Prophetic, for both the avatar and the writing skills. I honestly dont think Im as good as you make me out to be. And believe it or not, I dont have a passion for writing. I dunno what it is that gets me into text based role plays? Maybe its the image I like to receive when reading through them? Or that I find the Pokemon games to be very limited and dull so I like to take it further with my own character? I dunno, hard to say really?

As for chat, I give in with it. I tried to register but Im getting no email validation sent to me? Ill try again another time, right now I cant be bothered.

Thanks for the welcome, Eeveefreak and Prophetic.
