Meet the real Gonz.0

Post by gonz.0 »

Good Day All.

First let me say, if you play on another unamed server you may have met a Gonz.0 or a Gonz.0013, they are both known to me, so I don't play there as myself. When my boys are old enough, they are going to be Gonz.1, and Gonz.2. (already reserved and with steam accounts)

That said... the reason why I was not into it so far was a lack of true RP. Running into Power gamers, min max and twink or meta masters is horribly disapointing to me. I've signed up to join Alfa on the advice of a friend you all know as 'vergin sacrifice'. She says you are all a good group and I would have fun. I've known for years and will take her word.

I also hear you all have a vicious permadeath and have already been wished good luck on my second character. Thanks for that wish V.S. and I hope that I can deal with death with the same amount of aplomb you have.

I am a 40yr old E-Commerce Analyst, basically meaning that I watch computer communications (( ansi x12 mostly )) and troubleshoot human and computer errors, more former than latter. I was a gamer through last High school year and forward, but when my wife and I started dating I got out of it. Two kids and 9 years later I miss the old days of getting together with other personalities and imagining together a different world.

I've played a huge number of games PNP and computer based and also was game master for a few as well as a programer / builder for a MultiUser Domain game or MUD called Astaria (( Nic's: Sebastion/Tkarro )) back in the mid 90's.

I hope my play style meshes well with yours and we can all have some fun. Also hope that my busy life allows me some regular time to play and maybe help add to your world.

for that Aitana, you actually have to be in game. :?


Gonz, I love your realworld backstory. Welcome to ALFA.2 I also am in me 40s and ran into much of the stuff you mentioned, but since joining in 2002 or 2004 cant remember, I've never encountered the quality of RP I have here and dedication to keeping it so. I find everyone helpful, spirited, and with independent thought yet able to work together to keep Alfas oars rowing while many many other PWs have not been able to for various reasons.

Oh and as your sister plays nwn online, be a good brother and get her over here as well!! If she resists, punch her in the arm and tease her incessantly about an insecurity you know about as any brother should.

She works nights and putters about smexing and other things not dangrous while at work. Too much RL to actually play when not getting paid to she told me. I TRIED to get her to come over, really, before I got him to. Mostly because there is not enough real women... EVER in games online.

I'm afraid permanent death keeps her away. Sorry.


Oh, and though you have gotten it verbal, here is the official written
