Post by: Phoenixguard09 on April 30, 2011, 10:26:26 PM: Actually I propose we do not post here unless it is a guide of some description for a new-comer. I realise that I just posted here but I felt that the point should be raised.

On the other hand I will heartily raise my glass of coke to that cheer! LONG LIVE EXILIAN! AND THE BUNNEH!

HAHA! Owned Mark! Bunneh was here first.

PS: Of course I will gladly take all of my post down if that is the will of the council.

Especially when I come on!

To be fair though, this one is actually a good one.
Garfield, Asterix, etc so it ain't bad!

I'm the one that REALLY needs it. My computer barely plays Total War Medieval 2. I can play it but it's very laggy, and thats on just on the world map. when I'm in a battle it lags once every 6 minutes. Half of the time I think it's frozen. So I can only do auto resolve.
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Phoenixguard09 on July 15, 2011, 03:18:00 AM: Mate I can't even install M2TW on my laptop. Or RTW. Or Solitaire for that matter.

I had the original M&B on there. After playing it for 12 minutes, my computer then made a strange noise (Sounded vaguely like a cat being shoved into a microwave) before shutting down. And excreting a hot, clear yet greeenish, liquid substance from the edge of the screen.

Dawn of War lasted longer. 3 months before it decided to randomly delete the game. And everything else on my hard-drive.

And then my little brother ate the "D" key, which only pissed it off even more. I have more stories of laptop weirdness if you wish.

Is that even possible?

I think the idea is not to spook our new members

With his computer. Yes. Yes it is. I do believe that said computer is also the one that swears at him.
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Phoenixguard09 on July 15, 2011, 06:50:51 AM: Yes Debux and Ladyhawk, not only is it possible but it is the computer that swears at me, randomly deletes stuff and all sorts of random crap. And anyway, reading that should inform people that their computer issues are as nothing compared to mine. The problems with my computer are my computer's, nothing to do with the games.
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Ladyhawk on July 15, 2011, 08:31:41 AM: hahahaha ahhhh. I will have to meet this computer on day hehe. ;) And yes fair enough but, you my friend, have other computers to which you may access. I, on the other hand have a computer that is now having trouble with Mount&Blade Warband. When I attack a forest bandit camp, it takes at least 4 seconds to respond to what ever I do. Whether it is pressing a key or moving the mouse. Its ridiculous. I can not even attack someone because of the lag on it. -.-

Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Ladyhawk on July 27, 2011, 12:21:12 PM: Hey!! Welcome. I am still only new myself, but I just wanted to say this forum RULES!! Everyone is really nice and its alot of fun :) So thanks for joining. :) Now ill let someone more quilified welcome you ;)
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Jubal on July 27, 2011, 12:40:41 PM: Wilkommen!

You know, the original plan was that people would make their own "hello" threads... since this appears to not be happening, should we have an intros thread separate from the member guide? Or should we try and get people to make hello threads?
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Cinuz on July 27, 2011, 12:46:02 PM: Thank you very much you all! ;)

Edit - I'll say I was very doubtful whether I had to create a new thread to say hello or just post here! I think a common "Hello" thread would do since no one is creating new thread for presenting themselves. :)
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Ladyhawk on July 27, 2011, 12:47:42 PM: No problem :) Glad to have you.

@ Jubal: Ummm. Maybe you should do a kind of "hello" thread that everyone can post in when they sign in. Im not sure, its up to you guys, but just from my experience I was unsure on what to do when I first signed up here. Its was Phoenixguard who showed me around a bit. That could just be me though. Im not too good with computer and computer related..........things. Thats just my experiance and my opinion, hope it helps. (Probably havent, and once again Im posting mindless dribble ;) but its there anyway just in case)

Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: debux on July 27, 2011, 08:54:29 PM: I think the idea was that every member makes his own introduction thread... I'm not so sure though.

And hi Cinuz! You could bring the rest of the THS team too ;D too bad you guys already got your dev forum
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Cinuz on July 28, 2011, 02:33:50 AM: eh, personally I won't be against the idea of having another big fat forum even here! Anyway I'll try and ask to the other developers!

By the way, thank you all for your welcome! :)
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members

I'll go back when a good RP comes up.

Edit: Just realised there may have been a misunderstanding, I meant come the forum games sometime instead of just the modding forums, sorry.
Title: Re: Exilian: A guide for new members
Post by: Jubal on October 23, 2011, 08:53:14 PM: I think by "one of the other forums" he meant "outside the RTW areas" - we have a pretty good offtopic area which is worth a look, and a youtube channel and so on.

While everyone else has jumped ahead of me, a very warm welcome and I hope you enjoy it here. We're not a terribly big site, but we have lovely people and a hell of a lot of expertise. Wilkommen in Exilian! :)

Post by: Jubal on June 09, 2015, 12:50:51 PM: OK, been doing some big updates here. If anyone's willing to read through the new OP here, and the new rules/starting post here (http://www.exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3915.0), and then suggest a bunch of FAQs it would be good to have answered, that would be fantastic. :)
