General Introduce Yourself

@Vegnarok, I think you started a title trend here. :stuck_out_tongue:

TL;DR

I used to play IC and now I rule it as an evil dictator. :smiling_imp:

Ready for more history than you care about?

Bwahahaha.

A long time ago I signed up to play Planetarion (PA) and needed a username. I donā€™t remember my first choice, but it wasnā€™t available. I was at a loss for a second choice, and then I randomly remembered a picture from an old comic book price guide with one of their staff and a speech bubble over his head that said ā€œI like pie.ā€. It made me laugh, and my online persona was born!

I played PA for awhile with my older brother, and eventually found IC as another game to pass the time in between PA ticks. I was instantly hooked and forgot about PA entirely. I joined in Beta3 and quickly got banned by Lizzy (or was it Ryan?) for having multiple accounts. I pleaded my case in chat to both of them and they let me off the hook.

Since then Iā€™ve had many roles and worked on many things related to this game. Over the years I have:

  • become an Awards President when that was a thing
  • accepted a #general op position from the IRC days
  • introduced ā€œFoohonā€ to the community,
  • lead a few Foohon fams and at one time a Foohon tri-alliance
  • become a tutor in Virgo
  • twice became a game moderator and quit
  • created and managed various incarnations of ic-portal.com
  • collaborated with Killer_Hobbits on the original IC-Radio
  • created and managed ic-wiki.com
  • twice become a volunteer developer and quit
  • finally, purchased IC from Squirrel

If you canā€™t tell, Iā€™m obsessed about this game. Iā€™m sure Iā€™m not the only one. :slight_smile:

I occasionally do things outside of IC as well. Recently I relaunched my personal website, foohonpie.com where I write about IC, amongst other things. Actually, that will be the main place I talk about non-IC stuff too so if youā€™re interested in knowing more about me, just visit there. :wink:

I suppose thatā€™s it for now. Iā€™m looking forward to rebuilding Imperial Conflictā€™s community in its former glory and even surpassing it eventually! Iā€™m excited to be on this ride with you guys. :slight_smile: :+1:t4:

I know you. Youā€™re the guy with the face, with the stuff, that goes with the thingies, that help the people, with the whatcha-ma-call-its, that look like the doohickeys, with the handle, that whacks the trees, with the nuts, that houses the birds, that poop on the trucks, on the street, where those other annoying people live.

God I hate those people.

Thatā€™s me!

And good to see ya Lizon! Itā€™s been awhile. Welcome back. :slight_smile:

Iā€™m not even back per say. I was just going through my list of old websites and I see this pie loving foohon has taken over. God help us. Ironically enough I also found 104 pages of the old PR roleplay on wayback machine a few weeks ago. I wish I had time to re-write that roleplay as a structured story. But with me going back to school it is kinda hard.

I used to play about 5 years ago. I think I remember you, i_like_pie, but I was mostly active in the forums.

what is best pie?

Iā€™m partial to apple, myself. I know some think itā€™s weird, but with a slice of cheese melted on top is delicious. :ok_hand:
