Introduction thread

[Inferno]

Come one come all! (although mostly aimed at the newer people, rather than the oldies)
I think it would be nice for all the people who are new to the forums to get their voice heard and known! give us a flavour of who you are and what you do...i'll start off:

IRC:Inferno (recently got a nice shiney @ infront of my name :D)
ingame name: Inferno
real name: Laurence
Exp: been playing bush since R11 or R12 i dont recall. made a few mateys lead a few alliances.
IRL: so im from jolly old england, where we sip on tea and eat crumpets most the day. Im a university student at Oxford Brookes (not the real oxford, thats for poshies;) ) i study mental health nursing so i am a MALE nurse which is pretty win because i live with a LOAD of hot nurses. I am one step away from being sectioned myself tbh!

fire away next person...dont be shy!

[Twigley]

IRC: Twigley ... used it for 7+ years!
Ingame: Twigley ... There is a pattern :)
Real name: Matthew
Exp: Since round 4 ._o Too long! Damn Yeadon for introducing me to bush!
IRL: I am the opposite of me online. Quiet guy who doesn't like much confrontation unless ive had lots to drink. Love football, beer and girls.

User Profile: Martin
Real Name: Guess.....
Exp: Round 5
IRL: English too, I'm a 20 year old Estate Agent. I am also doing my degree in Economics and Mathmatics via the Open University, which means I get it all sent to my house then I just send off my essays and assignments, this means I can also do this full-time whilst working full time!! I wouldn't say I am loud but I am very confident and have no problems speaking to people (as it's my job to speak to hundreds a week). I like keeping fit and am hoping to run in the Northern Run in the later part of this year.

I think it would be nice for all the people who are new to the forums to get their voice heard and known! give us a flavour of who you are and what you do...

The idea is good Inferno, giving the new players a thread where they can post a join instead of having to make a new one when they join forums. :) Unfortunately people seem to have misread the original post and we have (almost entirely) oldbies posting here. Sort of defeats the purpose does it not? We already *know* who the oldbies are, and what they do. This thread was for players new to the forums, right?

[Illumination]

Real Name: Tiff
IRC/Forums/In-game: Illumination/Tiffany/Tiff
Exp: Played since Round 10
Real Life: I live in the USA and am a school teacher

[Shadow]

well from wot i read of the first post its aimed at all players but mainly new players, now im breaking my own view on the thread by posting this but i think all posts that are not an intro duction should be moved somewhere else, i dont know where but this is a thread for introductions and nothing more. as it is a very nice idea to have everyone introduce themselves, old and new players.

*EDIT abd by remove i do mean my own psot(this 1 not my introduction post) should be removed and placed somewhere else.

[Polo]

This thread is for introductions, please stay on topic.

(And although aimed at new players, anyone can post an introduction if they wish.)

[Dark_Angel]

Thread moved to Goodbye Country, Hello Nightclub Sub-Forum

Whilst I appreciate this thread is a good idea, it essentially serves the exact same purpose of this sub-forum.

New players can continue posting on this thread or begin a new thread.

[Dax]

Welcome to the forums, Harley! Finally, Hounds have a name to associate to!
I may have to have a pop at joining at some point. Good luck, and don't be disheartened by the cynicism!

[Harley]

Thanks for the welcome DAX. I'll never be disheartened just like the Hounds will never truly go away. Who knows, we might actually make a push for the number 1 spot one of these rounds. lol, wouldn't that be funny to see.

:)

[Dax]

It would entertain me, but I've assisted R3bel as a Bunker player to guide a rank 21 alliance to rank 5, so I guess anything is possible with some drive.

[penguin]

IRC/Forums/Ingame : Penguin
Real Name : Kay
Exp. : Joined in R29, so 4.5 rounds.. ish..

In RL : I'm an artist of many sorts, I have an open mind about most things. Religion doesn't sit well with me, if it can be known, I would like to know it. I'm insane.. I don't like to share who I am.. I <3 music. I'm engaged to Pantheon.. My astrological sign is a Cancer, and my Zodiac sign is the Dragon.. that pretty much covers the rest :P

[Pantheon]

well i guess ill finally introduce myself after many years of playing.
the names Tyler in game i always go by pantheon.
never been to active in forums or irc but that might change.
i work as a float manager for a chain of stores so i work long and odd hours lol

[Davs]

I'm bored and there's nothing else on the forum I wish to comment on atm so why not:

I'm Davs, short for David. Played since R15. Don't play FTW because I've never had the ability to play actively enough and I'd lack the effort to do so even if I was able. I'm a (bad/lazy) student at Oxford atm reading Chemistry. That's about it really.

AMGS i remember that! was in the ally during the time and we were left wondering where you were :/ i might've remembered someone mentioning the army..

anywho welcome back man :D

guess i have to post an intro since i can't just have nicities in the thread xD

name's Hiu. just shoved an ey on the end for humourous purposes.
Started maybe...6/7 years ago? not totally sure but i took a gap around round 21 or whenever the round sorcerers came in. fairly experienced but usually far too lazy to play actively or ftw. Going to Cardiff university next year to study Civil Engineering. hopefully one day you'll see one of my buildings being destroyed from terrorists due to it being such a national landmark of awesomeness ;)

[Dax]

First ever round @ R11, but it was only for a few weeks of a school holiday, so my first full round was R17.

Ingame: Izziblem

EXP: this is my third round playing so I'm pretty new, started playing at the end of uni with my Bf and we have played as solo partners in various routes for the last 3 rounds. this round is my fave so far
IRL: I live in london with my bf and work in an office not really doing all that much. Spend alot of time in mexico and france as well. being on different timezones one week to another really keeps incoming mobs guessing :)

[tobapopalos]

Welcome. Keep off the dirrigible plums.

[Davs]

Welcome to the game, may you stick around for many rounds to come :)

[Izziblem]

not planning on going anywhere for a while!! only just really worked out how to play. still alot to learn

[Rooster]

nick/IRC- Rooster
name- I go by my nick Rooster and some call me Stankus since I have used the name alot ingame
Playing since rd 15 floating around from different allies starting with ally led by Goddess who patiently helped me learn the game.
Free and Spitfirer brought me over to Bush from another game we all used to play together back in rd 15. Free taught me more in my first round than I learned all rounds since, i miss that guy.
Like to lead my own ally anymore since its easier to play by my rules than someone elses.

From the USA> and older than the internet and most bush players(most)..

Welcome back

[DanKeeneOBE]

Believe it or not, having spent years on Bushtarion, and what seems like years chatting to people on the IRC channel, I thought it was about time I joined (or at least looked at) the forums.

So here I am, 29 rounds after first playing Bushtarion, introducing myself proper-like on the forums.

Name: Dan
Portal/IRC: DanKeeneOBE
In-game: I change depending on how I feel at the start of the round, and to keep any enemies guessing for at least a few ticks.
In the "real" world: I am 28, live in Hampshire, UK. And do pretty much nothing with my life since I split from the missus & got made redundant. Hence sitting in front of this screen all day.

At some point I will actually be so bored, that I'll make myself a new signature banner - But not yet, this one is retro.

[willymchilybily]

welcome to the forums dan. They arent so exciting since azzer has been busy. people are easily disheartened when there suggestions dont get implimented. but id definately say check out this page if you have alot of free time
