Well, lookie here. After committing to actually being an active member here so many months ago, it seems like I'm actually honouring my promise.

Hi, I'm Miek, aka Chimmy Ray, aka uboa on IRC (and a lot of other stuff that's really of no consequence since I use them so sparsely.) I've been an ill-deserving mod over on .ORG maybe a couple months now, and a member there since I think December of last year. As you may recall, I dropped in on GW maybe three months ago to flame one of your new members into a teary suicidal fit and then left, satisfied with having brought misery to another human being.

I kicked around on mainly .ORG from that point, since I was up to my well-toned shoulders in schoolwork at the time, eventually shuffling over to CA since I had heard its name dropped more than once on occasion, and it happened to be where one former forum member decided to bring his armful of forum drama with him after quitting. I stuck around to watch the thread unfold and correct certain factual omissions or misinterpretations, and then decided to stick around a little longer since there were a few people who hadn't burned me at the stake for defending my forum. I now come to realize how nothing really interesting happens in CA, though, and I find it kind of difficult to mesh with the forum culture -- I could say something mean about forum standards right now, but I won't because I'm pretty sure it'd be an unfair comment and an entirely subjective one at that.

So now my amazing story brings me to you guys. I can only maintain membership on maybe two forums before my priorities start getting mixed up and I eventually abandon one of them altogether (and the events usually culminate in the total inexplicable collapse of my vacated forum due to a phenomenon handsome scientists refer to as the "Miek Effect.") With CA off of my plate, I came to remember you guys -- "Hey, those GW dudes seem pretty cool," I thought to myself. "Besides, that's where that Barkley game started out! I love b-balls!"

But, oh spite! Oh hell! To my shock and awe, GW was nowhere to be found! I was forced to sit on pins and needles for a full ten minutes while the dreadful events ran their course! There's really not much point to this aside from me saying that you guys gotta upgrade your version of SMF, dudes. 2003's model isn't going to cut it. :x

I am currently seventeen years old, and live in the frozen glacial fields of southern Canada. My hobbies include running, jumping, punching, laughing, loving, and being very verbose. Right now, I am putting off working on my RMXP game, Ghost's Town, largely because of the incredibly large agenda I need to complete it. Right now I'm working on my spriting and musical skill, and dabbling in a little horrible generic anime art with the intention of making it less horrible and generic. I've already stopped compulsively oversimplifying features (only eyelids for eyes, no eyebrows, dot-noses, pencil necks,) and hope to be a self-proclaimed DAMN GOOD ARTIST before the year is out. It's got quite a shopping list (a new template of my own creation, full custom music, an assload of scripts, and a similar assload of graphics,) but I don't think I'll be hiring a team anytime soon, simply because aside from maybe one other dude I'd share the spriting load with, I object to the idea of getting other people to make your game for you -- and besides, I don't trust a horde of other people to follow my mental pictures as clearly as I will.

Aside from that, uh, let's get the requisites out of the way. I gravitate towards a variety of musical genres, including whichever one System of a Down belongs to and whatever Jack Johnson is, I like good anime but hate bad anime (and unfortunately there's been a lot more bad anime out there since Death Note turned lame,) I don't really read manga, I have been a Barack Obama supporter since McCain started acting like a classic snaky Republican (but I can't vote in America so it's a moot point anyway,) and I joined GW to bring misery to a 16-year-old who founded his own religion. I came back because CA doesn't interest me at all and nothing interesting is happening in .ORG at the moment.

So, hi. I'm Miek. I'm back. Kiss me, darlings.
