About Me

I am a second year undergraduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology which, as the name would suggest, is in Rochester, New York. I am studying Software Engineering – essentially, programming plus all of the processes, paperwork, etc. that I'll be doing in the real world. I have been programming in some capacity since I was eight, and once I discovered programming I simply never stopped writing code. Some of that code I've written was for this very website, and hopefully there will be a fair bit more of that in the near future.

I discovered programming in a game called ROBLOX, and coincidentally that is also where I first discovered roleplaying. One day I was exploring the forums, and noticed a roleplaying section. Curious, I took a look and I was instantly hooked. The content was mostly in the Free RP level, with a small amount of Casual tier games, but at the time even that was high quality content to me. Over the years my interest in the game faded, and although I continued programming after ultimately leaving the community, I did not continue roleplaying.

Years later, I gradually started wanting to get back into roleplaying. I began googling around, and after looking at a few different websites I finally decided that the Guild seemed to be the best of them all. I made an account on December 13, 2014, and started jumping into some games; I quickly decided on sticking to mostly High Casual, but eventually moved more towards Advanced as I realized that most of the games I was in were easily at that level anyway. This was right around the time that Mahz was working on rebuilding the website from the ground up, and after chatting with him for a while in the IRC during some site downtime I decided that I wanted to help.

I ultimately didn't contribute too much, but nevertheless I was the first (and so far, only) non-anonymous user to help Mahz with developing the website. As a reward, after he implemented the trophy system I was awarded the special Benevolent Cyberpunk trophy, which gives me a special userbit that looks like this:



After roughly a year and a half of being here, life started getting in the way more and more, and my activity became increasingly infrequent. Eventually, a little after the two year mark, I became completely inactive; I was in my senior year of high school, neck deep in college plans, and didn't have time for it anymore. I'd log in every now and then to check if I had missed anything, but until quite recently never stayed. I am back now, though, and hopefully I'm here to stay. I plan on getting back into roleplaying in the near future, and I also plan on starting to help out with the website once more. I've learned so much since when I first saw the code running the Guild, and hopefully I'll be significantly more helpful than I was back then!

”Ladies and gentle– no, just ladies. Food’s ready in five. Jinxy? I’ll speak to you about the ship over dinner. I presume none of it’s good news.”

Waking with a start, Victoria missed the first half of Amir's announcement, although it seemed obvious enough that dinner would be ready soon. She rubbed her eyes with a yawn, noting that she felt a lot better after her brief nap. Checking to make sure her hood hadn't fallen off, Victoria stood up and left her room, heading towards the galley, locking the door behind her. Her room was relatively nondescript – it's former occupant was probably low on the food chain, as the room had no decorations. This didn't bother her, though; if anything, it was a good thing because she might be able to make it her own over time.

Entering the galley, Victoria saw that Trish and Amir were already here. "Hey," she greeted as she sat down next to Trish. "Wow, this food smells... um, horrible," she thought, harshly. But she didn't say anything; who knows? Amir's cooking might surprise her. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see," she mused inwardly.
Got @Twhirtley's failure remedied. Response time from the mods to my pm was literally less than a minute, I'm officially impressed.

As for your question Ink, I'll leave that for the GM to answer.

@Shienvien The guild actually is on that list, just not very high.

I also get lag with Firefox, on my Galaxy S3. I don't use mobile very often though, so I'm not concerned.

@Shienvien That is intended, he reverted it.

@Mahz You can already tell because every line shifts up since only 100 messages are kept by the client. A more obvious indication wouldn't hurt, though.
Nobody has said anything yet today, so allow me to present to you all Twhirtley's wonderful dog, Tucker.

Eh, depends. But I'm leaning towards yes.
