Now the Ears are a whole Nuther story

Joined in the middle of Chasing the Wish, which I found through random wanderings over in Yahoo groups. Played Acheron, including the hiatus , was Melody in Aware. Currently working on the training ARG. Got lost in the Bees when the Halo fans joined.

Microbiologist by Education, Funeral Home Clerk by Occupation. Unfictologist by acclaim. Liable to make random stupid posts that go on for pages.

Hey everyone, jest introducing myself. Y'can call me ChimericalWolf, Chimera, Wolfie, whatever crosses y'mind, as long as I know y'calling me!

Also, it's Chimera in a dream/illusion sense, not the ram/dragon/snake kinda way.

I'm looking very much forward to playing with all of you.

And Bazel rhymes with Orange.

Ooh, um, I guess I should do this introductions thing.

I'm Jehane in real life, but answer to sequoya or seq here. I got here through the bees, by following a link from a friend's journal and being curious about the game, despite not really being a big Halo fan. Feeling really swamped with the bees stuff (too many beekeepers!), I turned to the other games, and am now actively playing Urban Hunt, which by the way is really great! Come join us! Our game involves hot guys called Ron! /random plug. I lurk a bit in Subcity Central, and occasionally if I'm feeling brave I'll check on the bees. I also plan to play Project Syzygy when it comes.. so yeah, you've got me hooked.

I'm from sunny Scotland - which I'm thinking might hinder my ARG progress in the future, as most seem to be US-based so I probably won't get the non-email real-life interaction stuff... true? What else, ummm.. I work in software testing for a big investment bank. I used to work in the games industry, but now I, uh, don't. I wish I still did, because I love games (RPGs in particular).. perhaps in the future I'll get back into it, who knows. Anyway, to avoid going off on a random ramble, that's me. Nice to meet you all.

Lessee...played Majestic until it started sucking (which didn't take long), but loved the concept and wondered, "Why aren't more people making/playing more games like this?" Silly me. I mostly lurked during the first half of Metacortechs until I found the chat...after not having been on IRC in about 8 years, it was quite a revelation. People being kind in chat? Working together to solve a puzzle? Very much unlike the IRC I grew up with. Anyway...the frantic puzzle solves captured my interest, the community kept me here. With any luck we'll own your soul too.

Personal crap:
I'm much older than most people think, have a CS degree from a fairly disreputable school, and have an intense distrust of vegans. When I'm not pretending to work as a web developer at a failing dot-com in Lower Manhattan, raising my two small children (god help their precious little souls....Mmmm....souls), and drinking to excess, I'm entertaining the denizens of #unfiction with my pants-dropping antics.

And don't worry about my Swedish friends. They don't bite....hard.

[Fi]

Well... I'm Fi.

For some reason I chose the (in retrospect) slightly odd nick of FleaSick, but there is logic behind it, honestly. I'm from the UK, 25, female and am currently working in London as an account/project manager for a marketing agency, managing the sponsorship between a large mobile phone network (here's a kl00 - it begins with T!) and 5 premiership football clubs (that's *proper* football, not the grunting wussy kind that some of you know and love )

I got sucked into UF by what seemed at the time to be My Own Private Rabbithole. I was unemployed and regularly buying Marketing Week and the Guardian Media for their job sections. All fairly standard stuff until one day I saw this encrypted advert in there. Having a) a computer science degree, and b) the type of mind that likes to know everything, be it my business or not, I decrypted it.

It all sounded very intriguing and I Googled. Needless to say that the first site that came up was this one, so I duly signed up and read the 15 pages of posts that had already accumulated by that time. Then I got into IRC, and that was that.

Like most people who hang around here, I found everyone to be friendly, intelligent, good-sense-of-humoured and not at all cliquey, so it was a very easy slide down the slope of time-consuming arg fetishism!

I like puzzles, and stories, but more than that I just like cool ideas and fresh concepts.

[kxmom11x]

O.K., so, I'm-da-Mom.

Yes, there were microwaves when I was a kid.
No, I didn't go to school in a covered wagon.
Yes, I was around for the Beast
No, I didn't have to walk to school up-hill (both ways) in the snow, barefoot. (I was allowed to wear shoes)
Yes, 13-1-31-11 33-112-11-102, is always a sad day
No, Pong wasn't the *only* video game, we also had Spacewar!
Yes, /me like pie! (and everything else ahhhhrrrgggg as well)
Let the games continue!

{OT}NICE SITE!

[Karmic_Crimewave]

Damn...Looks like everyone stole my best jokes...Luckily, they weren't all that funny when you guys used them, either.

Anyway...The Karmic Cimewave, currently working as the chief security manager and consultant for a Mid-Ohio nightclub ( yup...I'm the HEAD bouncer, by golly!) minor-leauge professional wrestler,and freelance writer/lyricist working on my first 2 novels and screenplay (unfortunately, I'm trying to do them all at the same time) I stink on ice when it comes to puzzles, but I can throw wild SPEC with the best of them. Not unlike Lance Lake, I'm here mostly for the storylines and social engineering. And the pie. I like hard liquor and long diatribes with no real relevance. My turn-offs are mimes and penguins...Or am I supposed to safe that stuff for when they staple my navel?

At any rate, I've been lurking around since more or less the mid-point of Lockjaw, and look forward to almost contributing to the forum.

And screw the internet...I invented pants!

[Giskard]

Ok, to join in on the fun...

I'm Giskard, or Daniël if you like, 25, live in the Netherlands and I'm projectmanager for a retail company that mostly owns a few large chains of supermarkets over here and in the US. I came to unFiction for the first time in october last year, for the start of Project MU (The Metacortechs ARG). That was such a great experience, and the folks here at uF were so friendly and welcoming that I kinda sticked around... which I'm not regretting

At the moment, I'm trying to 'play' ilovebees, but moderating the boards for it take up way more time than actually spending time looking at it in-depth does... depending on if it expands beyond it's current state, I might get up to speed with Urban Hunt too.

I'm often sad that I missed the Beast, especially now that all the people from "old times" return to the forums and reminisce...

[Dorkmaster]

Ok, well, I'm Larry, and I live in the NW suburbs of Chicago, IL. I've been interested in this sort of thing for a while. (Wanted to play Majestic, but only had dial-up, and lived with my parents at the time, and they probably would have died after hearing what some of the phone calls sounded like, lol!) I also caught the "Sentient Machine Therapist" in the AI credits, but never went deeper than thought about it... So, the Haunted Apiary is my first ARG, and I'm definitely hooked. I love the community aspects, and I'm also a puzzle enthusiast.

I'm a 26 year old mortgage banker, and I studied theatrical direction in college. (yeah, I can't figure that one out either...) I've got a wife, with a kid on the way, (late october,) and we just got our first home. So life's just startin for me, and then I get this ARG bug... dang...
