Welcome, Eiki-mun.  Don't mind Ironbite, he's always like that.   Except when he isn't.

I just realized I never posted here. I'm Svata, an avid gamer, both video and tabletop. I'm an atheist, because I have seen zero evidence of any god(s). I react adversely to idiocy, and well to reasonable, well-thought-out arguments. Unfortunately, I'm somewhat lazy, and highly sarcastic. If I ever say anything that deeply offends someone, I apologize in advance, I'm kinda bad at putting words to what I want to say sometimes, and I have a tendency to say things that people take tye wrng way. That's pretty much it.

EDIT: Also, I read a lot. Mainly sci-fi and fantasy.

"Politician" is the occupational equivalent of "Florida".

Hi.

I posted a lot on the old forums (and I mean ooooold, back in 2007-2010) under the same name. I'm an atheist - formerly a Conservative Jew - liberal, bass player and songwriter, metalhead (Devin Townsend is currently my favorite artist ever), gamer, sci-fi/fantasy reader and all-around nerd. Since checking out of the old forums, I've also become interested in linguistics in the process of trying to create several languages for a fantasy story I was writing. I'm from the US, and am attending college on the East Coast right now.

I decided to come back because I showed the FSTDT Top 100 to my roommate a week or two ago (he's an atheist too) and we both nearly laughed ourselves into a coma.

Hello everyone!

I'm a (mostly Han, pretty sure there's a Jewish ancestor somewhere on my mother's side) Chinese currently living in America, so please excuse my occasional grammatical errors. Unfortunately despite being an Asian I'm not actually that smart, nor do I consider myself a gamer (though I was a story-writer from a mod that unfortunately is dead now).

While I have been hanging around FSTDT from a few years now I didn't make an account here until now because I was having problems with keeping track of all the other online accounts that I have.

Currently studying economics at Hampden-Sydney College. Despite that I think I'm leaning towards socialism more and more...

I play the trombone and taught myself how to play the piano (rather badly, but then again I was using YouTube as a source of learning so go figure)
... wait, oh s--t! I've been surrounded by raging modders!

The forum is ripe with the stench of gamers!

Hey. I'm Rookie. I used to be here. Then I wasn't. Then I came back again. Then I didn't. Now I'm here again. I think that just about covers it.

Thanks, Prog. They're doing good. Actually we just had yet another little one a couple months ago.
