[Alaric]

Hello all, just wanted to formally introduce myself before I started sticking nose in all over the place around here.

Hopefully, I'll make a good impression on all of you guys.

Alaric -

Thanks for the intro - please feel free to fill us in a bit more about yourself if you're up for it.

Welcome aboard!

Best,
Bryan

[braxiss]

welcome aboard, make yourself at home and have fun



oh and hang on cause it gets a little bumpy in here at times :salute:

[jewels]

Hello Alaric, um there isn't any hazing, just watch out for the beavers, don't drink the yellow koolaid (it has to do with the beavers) and the blue koolaid may or may not be spiked. Depends on who was in the cafe last. (they do still have that these days, right?)

Jewels

[amberstar]

Welcome aboard glad to have you!

hope you enjoy what you see here........there are a lot of places to look.
If you get tired stop in the Cafe for some fun........and take Jewel's advice avoid koolaid at all cost :D

[Alaric]

Hmm, I suppose I'll start with me and BSG.

I was always a fan of TOS, watching from when I was a kid (A local TV station had TOS syndicated very early in the morning, around 5:00 AM. For some reason though, I always woke up right at 5:00 AM. Call it fate. ;) ) and then managed to get back into TOS when I caught it sporadically on Sci Fi. I read a little of the BSG books out there, but I was never able to really become fanatic about BSG. When I heard about the TNS, I got really excited, for obvious reasons. I absolutely loved the mini-series (although I still haven't been able to get the DVD), and I can't wait to see TNS.

As for the rest of me, I'm a college student attending Rutgers University. Currently working on getting into undergrad business school. I have all kinds of interests, ranging from sports to sci-fi to film making. I'm a veteran on some anime message boards (Mainly gundam.com, if any of you guys frequented that bb). How crazy am I? Well, I played on high school's football team my senior year, and almost died. Yeah, I'm nuts folks.

...yeah, maybe too much info. :D

Anyway, that's me in a nut shell.

Oh yeah, and the name's Mike, in case Alaric would be too weird.

WElsome Alaric!

Its nice to meet another anime fan! I'm a fan of Macross and Noir! And lots of other shows!

I'm more of a old show fan. I'm still in the wait and see about the new show. But I love talking with friends about the show. And believe in trying to support fans of either show.

Glad to have you aboard!
:D

Welcome to Colonial Fleets Alaric! :)

Phew! King of the Visigoths, here at Fleets!!! Wonder if there are any Romans here? ;)

Feel free to be yourself and express your views here. Our resident guru, Thomas, has kindly set things up to try and make this a place where /all/ feel welcome, with separate forums for TOS, TNS and even (at several of our request), a place called the Criticism forum, where you can blast away happily at either show! :eek:

Be sure to visit the beautiful blue new series forum, where you can share your thoughts about the new show. And not to be remiss, the Cafe is truly a virtual Cafe, where you can just sit and chat about any old thing or join in the many games there. Don't trust the :beaver: waiters though - they like to switch the bue koolaid with the yellow one and other nasty things :naughty:

We also have a Creativity section with gorgeous artwork, and the Library with some outstanding fanfic by many of our members. :thumbsup:

Yeah, there are a lot of die hard TOS fans here (this daggit included), but you'll find we're harmless enough. ;)

Thanks for joining our little sector of the galaxy...

:muffit:

[Alaric]

Heh, you know the history of my call sign. Cool. :)

[Darth Marley]

[Senmut]

Yo, Alaric. How are the Goths?

Welcome Alaric. to the Fleets

[Archangel]

First of all, Welcome to the fleets.

You'll find that we have all kinds of intelligent people here (but fear not, I'm not one of them), so you can bet that that there is some headbutting going on. Even with all that, we still remain friends somehow. Now that being said;

Enjoy The Ride!!!

:D

[holodoc2000]

LOL! First time for everying it seems. :D

Now all we gotta do is get you to join in on some of the fun over on the last person thread. :D

ROTFL Alaric!

Hey! Speaking of the legendary Alaric, and his rather drastic method of getting back pay from the Romans (invading Rome and looting the city, ergo initiating the Fall of the Roman Empire), I have a question for ya Alaric!

My previous employer still owes me over $6,000 for my last few weeks of work, and that was several years ago. So should I follow your example, and just go back there and sack 'em??? :D :D :D

Inquiring Visidaggits wanna know!! :LOL:
:muffit:

[Alaric]

Basic tools for sacking:

Tire iron
Cigars
And a bottle of Johnny Walker

Go forth, and claim that which is yours!

...excuse me, I have some pillaging to do.

[Rowan]

Alaric,

This is the name of one of my most favourite Scifi/fantasy characters it is from Katherine Kurtz's Deryni Series, which I love.

Lord General Alaric Anthony Morgan - Deryni Duke of Crowin and King's Champion.
Deryni for the uninitiated are a quasi-mortal race of sorcerers who are persecuted for their abilities. Morgan is only half Deryni, :D

[julix]

Alaric..............ehem......Alaric
I hate to interupt your pillaging and all.........but just wanted to welcome you! Never ask for hazing with this crowd........lol We do it anyway :D Have a great time we are harmless...............MOSTLY ;)

[Gemini1999]

we are harmless...............MOSTLY ;)

Alaric -

Yeah, we're all pretty harmless, but you need to watch out for Julix.....she's a saucy one! :duck:

Be wary...

Bryan

[holodoc2000]

tee hee! :D

Yep. Ya need to visit over on the last person thread to see what sorts of fun goes on there. :D

[julix]

Alaric -

Yeah, we're all pretty harmless, but you need to watch out for Julix.....she's a saucy one! :duck:

Be wary...

Bryan
Why thank you Sir Bryan..........I take that as the highest compliment :D

[bsg1fan1975]

Welcome Alaric from the Fleets resident Ultimate Star Goddess!

As these guys will tell ya I can be a bit of a kook at times, but I am a nice kook!

[Harvester]

Hey everyone,
I just thought I'd get my toes in the pool here and since Alaric already had a newbie thread I didn't see much point in statring a new one up.
As a quick intro, I'm a Canadian who used to tune in a Rochester channel to get to see TOS when I was young. I loved the show. The centurians were the coolest thing in sci-fi to me other than Darth Vader. I had copies of 'Saga' and taped the TOS episodes off Space once they started airing them. I bought the second 'Cylon Head' DVD set I saw. So I guess I qualify as a TOS fan......but not a purist.
I'm one of those guys that's a fan of both shows. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Moore's version comes along.
Anyway, I've been lurking here for several months and I like the general atmosphere. Just thought it was time to get in on the fun.

[nextceo]

Welcome Alaric and Harvester! I've been more of a lurker than poster until lately. This is probably one of the fairest boards in regards to welcoming both fans of TOS (the original series) and TNS (the new series).

:Nsalute:

[amberstar]

Welcome Harvester!

Glad you decided to join this little sector of the Universe :D

[Excalibur]

Welcome Harvester!

You are going to like this group!

Unless you are still sane.

:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

[bsg1fan1975]

There is a saying that we go by in my family and it applies here:

"You don't have to be crazy to be a part of us, but it sure helps around here"

[julix]

Hi Harvester and welcome :salute:

[Archangel]

Greetings from another Canuckian, Harvester!
