Promotions usually mean more responsibility. Now we're going to be doing this 48 hrs a day. ;)

Question

Post by L1Z »

Question then:
What about people who have been lurking since day one?


I read EVERYTHING.
and follow all the main people on the forum & YT.
do all the clues. call up the numbers. analyze the videos.
BUT...doesn't post.

I'm not a n00b to OpA or LG15, or any of the leads & drops.
but how could OpA "promote" those who've kept to the shadows?


ALSO!
Any recommendations for starting to post without looking like a fool?
i'm not new, i just lurk

I'd say you're off to a good start! Welcome! Of course, all of us here look like fools from time to time.

Welcome, darling! Post more .. we don't bite (unless specifically asked)!

I don't think she means "promotion" in the sense that we get a new parking space ... I think it was just Oppy's cute little way of telling us that she we're still her children and to play nice with the newcomers.

But if we do get that 401K, I'll make sure to put in a good word for you. :wink:

Crap, even Oppy has a no-hazing policy? I just got done dealing with my frat's...I HATE NO HAZING POLICIES!

I msg Oppy about the promotion deal, asking what it would involve. Here is what she sent back (sorry too lazy for screencaps, too much food):
Longer hours and more responsibility, dear. No pay, no benefits, and the job is yours until you die or we find somebody better.

Great! Heh, I'm a n00b here... since a few weeks ago. I won't be helping out for a while, though... I'm still trying to catch up to the story. Seen all the related/canon videos to date (LG15, Cassie, OpAphid... not Jonas yet...) but I'm still reading the threads in several boards. I wish I'd heard about this at the beginning... I was getting sick of waiting for the Aw2re and fragmented twilight ARGs and dont-hold-back turned out to be crap. >___>

Anyway, hopefully I can be of some help sooner or later! Glad you guys don't bite. P:
Seriously, who doesn't want to be Tachyon?

Also a lurker...as in devoted, staying up until morning, scraps of paper, doodles and coffee rings aplenty.
I was definatelt dissapointed at first with it being canon and all, because I assumed that would mean LAME...like, 8-year old audience lame. But, the nice thing is that logically, everything should tie in, and have an answer eventually. We probably won't be left high and dry.
So...I will crawl out of my hole and start posting, hey, I'm hanging around anyways, and ...more heads are better than one...
Let the games...begin...er...continue!

Exactly.
Your thoughts are the same as mine.
And I'm sure other fellow former-lurkers.

Good idea! Don't drop anything in West TX; too many rednecks & rabid animals here. You're likely to be shot and/or bitten :wink:

Drop in Jersey, Tachy. I can't leave the state alone at my age. D':

I have an idea.. what if Tachy/Oppy does drops in two/three locatiosn at once? Experienced members could go get one, and newbs could get the other..., give more people a chance to get involved.
I'm a guy. Is that so hard for you people to get?
