Sincronos.net Forums

Consider this the obligatory "introduce yourself to the other forum members" topic.

Oh...I guess that means I should go first, huh? Okay, well, uh...I'm an amateur writer and artist, I've been the bane of various online fandoms since 1997 or so, some of which I've gotten involved with largely to engage in savage political brawls. I've often gone by the name Cylor, which is actually the name of my oldest original character, but I've decided to stop using his name as a pseudonym for reasons which will eventually become apparent.

In recent years I managed to get myself promoted to the status of forum admin for Cannis Games Editing Network and Lusitania Online, both of which are sadly now defunct, having been taken down by their actual owners. After that I decided to start Sincronos.net to serve as a showcase and launching platform for all of my current and future creative projects, and I'm hoping to build it into an online community unto itself.

I guess that's the relevant stuff.

Seems I should be next....

Like Cylor CWS, I'm an amateur writer. I'm also a computer programmer, though don't think I can qualify that one as "amateur" since that's also what I do for a living even though I use different programming languages between work and everything else...but I digress.

Over the years I've admined many a forum, due to technical expertise and (I hope) dedication to the welfare of my fellow forumers. Sadly none of the other forums are around anymore: Eagle Red, Stardust Studios, ffx2.net, Lusitania Online....I've used the same handle for all of them, though, so if you knew The Phiend at any of those...hi!

My name is ____ and I'm freelance basement dweller living in the middle of the desert. Will draw for food!

What, what? Good to see some old faces.

You too! Thanks for showing up, both of you!

Oh, hello.

Yeah I'm Loki. Been around a few forums, which is pretty much how I met Cylor and The Phiend.

Come November I'll be a 'Professional Writer', though there's no real distinction between me and an 'amateur'. Except, well, a piece of paper and the thousands of dollars I've put into learning my craft. I'm working on a few projects at the moment, many of which Cylor and I have discussed at some length.

Though, I'm hoping to get into Officer School with the ADF next year, so you might not see too many of these projects in the near future. Good to see a few of the old faces from C-GEN and Lusitania.

Yeah, hi.

Multi-disciplinary artist in Minneapolis. Currently creating audio collage and soundtracks for theatre.

Out of curiousity, what would those disciplines be? Or are you an omni-disciplinary artist?

Well, I can't feasibly claim to have skydiving or contemporary electrical engineering criticism as disciplines, otherwise I would be omni-disciplinary. And I do have a PhD in hypothetical physics to back that up.

Is...that anything like a hypothetical PhD in physics?

Hypothetically, sure.

Heck, you could even take all that hypothetical experience and put it to use building a hypothetical hadron collider.

He probably already has...hypothetically.

Another transfer from some other forums at some other time. Very tardy and such. Not too good at checking regularly. Currently I am the Washington DC area but have so far avoided the taint that permeates the place.

Hmmm. Wonder if we could market some kind of repellent spray for that...

Oh yeah, glad you made it!

We could call the spray accountability. Unfortunately much like roaches, the pop of this area is pretty much invincible. Same family after all.

The finger of blame is far more potent than accountability, and the former is certainly easier to extend than it is to accept the latter. Given enough training every finger becomes a finger of blame, a raised hand becomes denial of proof, and a high-five tags the new scapegoat.

If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit. If the opinion is not the same, you must blame.

We'll see...in about five months.

Check your electronic mailbox, I'm sure there are a few messages that have been rotting away over the past several years. That may explain the smell. Do the climate a service you poor excuse for a meat popsicle.

Glad to see you haven't been convicted yet, sir.
