I created an account to edit in articles, and first entered the forum because my mailbox was spazzing out to get help from the mods.
I saw the thread while in it and I'd never been in a forum RP before, so I thought "what the hell?" and joined in with the first 100x100 Mass Effect picture I could find on Google images and a name I made up on the spot.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Well fine.
The story of how Jam got into the thread.
So I've been on Tvt for about a month or so and I love how the community here doesn't dictate who gets respect by how successful of a troll you are. And the mods aren't ban happy assholes who ignore you when you try to reason with them.
I'm browsing the forum game section and come across this game right here. I start lurking and I kept thinking to myself. "Wow this game looks incredibly stupid." Fortunately For you guys, I live by the rule "Don't knock it till you try it". So I post as Ragna and before know it, I'm neck deep in silly antics with Spaz and Death. Naturally from that day forward I continued to post in the thread and the rest is history.
Dang, these are all neat origins. :D
For me, it's sort of a weird story, but I had done a bit of RPing as GLaDOS in the chat section of a now defunct online card game, much of which was done with hapless people who didn't know that I was IC.
After it went down, I was displaced, but I had been lurking on the fora here for about a year or two, and I stumbled into the Forum Games section.
My initial RPing post was as GLaDOS in the "Our avatars are posting on a forum thread" one, and the on the "in a jail" thread. I had been lurking in the FG for some spurts, mostly just finding Tatsu's HTF characters talking to Cloud, and I eventually worked up the nerve, and here I am today. :P
@Eldy: That first thread you made was awesomesauce. :D I should dig it up sometime and give the whole story a read.
And with that long-winded tale, I bid you goodnight. :)

and then they fricked in the bootyI was writing the fic that I'm currently hard at work not writing chapter 7 of, and I decided I needed a little practice writing Cloud, since he was rather tricky for me at the time. I happened to have a Cloud avatar at the time, and I saw the game and decided to post as Cloud for ten pages or so before swapping out again.
That didn't work out.

I also do not remember how I got here in the first place! Perhaps I was compelled to see what was with the "thread that moved pretty fucking fast" with Dave.

mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanAlso, i read up on the YMMV page for Iji, and I learn theres a webcomic.
I shit you not, this happened.
"Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: At one point, during a discussion on how portal guns violate the law of conservation of energy, we cut to Dan watching Ron fall through an infinite portal loop while Kyubey freaks out in the foreground. No one acknowledges he's there, it's not brought up in the narration, and he's never mentioned again. Captain Lhurgoyf just included it as a one-off non sequitur joke."
Aaagh I still have requests to draw haaaaagh
Really, my first time popping into the FG was nothing special. I lurked the articles for a while and happened upon the forums one day. The people here seemed cool so I eventually signed up proper, making my first post in the U Mv C 3 thread.
Anyway, the Forum Games section piqued my curiosity and I checked it out. I don't recall if I actually first saw this thread before or after I signed up, but it was actually my first encounter with an online Mini RP of sorts, and I made my entry with a few lackluster posts as Doctor Doom. I still remember the conversation he had with Ferg's Hazama. But it was only when I brought in Frank West when I really go involved in beautiful shenanigans, and from then on, I stuck, eventually making myself a veteran.
