I know your names... Options

[Mute]

But we've never chatted. ._. The word Mute shows up on the bottom, and you probably think oh he's just some guy that knows some guy. Well lets break the ice! I've been around some of these communities for a while now and I'd like to think we're a tight group of homies. So uhhh to people like Camulus, Chimaera, Kazicht, etc. What's up? Y'all seem like cool cats and I'd like to get to know ya.

And for some of yous others that I do know and haven't talked to in ages, a to you too! Don't leave me hanging.

[Retehi]

Yeah I know the feeling, I ain't just a name either!

*waves at all the people*

*edit* Thought I'd get a BIT deeper then that, lol.

I originally came from a ghetto place called gamewinners.com, eventully some random crap there happned, so I got bored and left. Found my way to PSOW as a lurker, then found Shoties place the-arcade.net, which I'm admin at right now, and found my way here also.

So yea, a domino effect of finding forums with me.

Im always on AIM daily, I like talkin, 'specially to new peeps, pretty much my profile gives a short gist of me.

I only play StarCraft and Red Alert 2 as online games right now, EQ busted on me cause of a recent graphics patch, so I'm outta that for the time being. Gave me time to go back to old hobbies like drawing and reading actully.

So yea, someone IM me damnit, and know me better, we're all AT homies here.

[HC82]

Good topic. A HELLO to everyone whom I haven't talked too much either.

[Kazicht]

Hi there guys! Hehe.. feels kinda wierd to introduce myself again, buit here goes...

I'm HC82, Camulus, and Chimaera's friend IRL. I've been around here for awhile I guess. HC introduced me to this place awhile back. Actually I first heard about 'The Apocalypse Tribe' long ago on PSO DC v1 from a buddy by the handle of ZeroRubius, perhaps you remember him. My PSO handles through the years have been : T H a I, RuiN, Kazcht, and now Kazicht. Perhaps you might remember partying once before.. or not

These days, like most of the AT, I'm on FFXI...
Anywho, well met guys! I'm glad to have been able to meet you all.
Drop me a line on AIM if you want. Handle is in my profile.

~Kazicht

[Horosha Onikage]

Ah, I've probably never truly introduced myself, but...

I am an old PSOW-er, used to play an entire host of characters with the same last name: Hawke Altyr, Cronus Altyr, Kia Altyr and Elise Altyr. I started on v1 quite a long time ago, when PSOW was still seemingly new. I moved on to v2 and Ep2 as well, however, Ragnarok Online took over from then and now FFXI. I've also switched many forums, from PSOW to RO-World, to Game Time on ezboard, now the new Gaming Cow. To add to that, I am Veisryn's older brother and an old friend of Merodi.

If you were to ever find me online, I would be on FFXI or MSN Message, handle Horosha_Onikage.

[The JadeDragon]

Hmmm I think I'll spill my guts a little since some others seem to be doing it as well.

I have a very shady past filled with trouble and drama. I was once best friends with Shotie during the PSO v1 and v2 days. I once went by the handle QueenBee at Shotie's Arcade, PSOW and Gally's Omega Hour. After ditching my friendship with Watashiwa at PSOW, I caused all the trouble I could think of there lol. I was stupid and immature but you can't hide your past. I was also once voted(in a tie with Gally) the most annoying member at PSOW in one of Ness' stupid polls. From there I went on to be quite the bitch at The Arcade. I was banned and unbanned a number of times for a number of reasons, but I finally grew up and now I try to be as nice to people as I can and I try to be friends with anyone who will accept me.

As you can tell I now go by the handle JadeDragon. I have an obsession with Dragons and other things of fantasy. My newest love in life is the anime show on adult swim called Inuyasha. Man I love that show...lol. I played FFXI under the character named Versago, and I have recently decided that I will soon be ending my retirement from FFXI and will be returning very shortly. I am female(and I'm taken guys) and have recently posted a pic of myself in the picture thread. I am almost always available on AIM or through PM's.

Well anywho, that about wraps me up in short form...I hope to see most of you on FFXI when I return...

BTW...I'M RICK JAMES BITCH...

(lol sorry I love that line)

[Kazicht]

Yay! Versago is coming back!

[The JadeDragon]

[Dorian]

Haha, I love to talk man, As a matter of fact I post a hell of a lot on this web site lol


If ya wanna get tas know me more, my SN is AIM: CrypticCamulus or MSN: CrypticCamulus@hotmail.com
I'm free 24 hours a day so feel free to IM me any time

[DivA]

*nudge* & who could ever forget you, Mute? ;)

*looks around & bows* this is the double-edge aspect that affects many forums, the passing of time shifts the mix of incoming & outgoing members, kinda like an inn upon a world of fantasy; travelers come & go, all the while bringing tales & legends, gossips & rumors to boot.. ^^;

truly, there are many new faces here ~ names that i'm familiar with & yet not had the honor of knowing nor adventuring with; but that can change, oui? to those that don't know me, i am DivA.. *reflects* somewhere around this vast archive is a history of who i am history-wise; i'll have to dig to see if that thread is still around - good stuff from the many that had posted before with wonderful stories of how they came to meet & come to ATHQ..

well, i came to be here because of my love of PsO & at the testimony from Mute on how amazing this forum was - so my curiosity got me to check this place out & the rest is history......or legend or whatever the case may be.. ;p

[unitself]

Hello.
I've been around for a little while now also.
Dive brought me over from the gamecow, and I haven't looked back. Weird how a one day a place can totally be your home and then the next "poof!" you never talk to any of them any more. I've tried a few other places, The Arcade, Dreamstation, shit.. even Nintendo, but none have held me like good ole' Apocalypse Tribe. I don't know what kinda stuff you put in the water Dive, but it works.
I am one of the few, maybe the only, who aren't playing FFXI. Why, you ask? No PC and no PS2! But, when TFLO comes out for the Xbox in September (October ?), I am so going to be there.

Like some of the others, whos names I am adding to my chat list, I am on AIM and MSN Messenger all day long ('net job). I'm always good for a chat about games and music equipment and stuff.

[psobsesser]

A certain Knight's Sword led me here (haha, sorry, bad joke.)
Dremstation was my first forum home, followed then by PSOw, then here. Each of these places has it's good points and people (though I definitely know the people at DS.cc more); I guess that's the whole point of this thread though, isn't it?
So let's get to it:
I'm an eighteen year old guy waiting for summer break.
Next year it's off to college to major in who knows what.
Umm...my fav things are music, games and snowboarding.
Sometimes I can get pretty pissed off for little things...(trying to work on that)
Oh, and I have AIM as well; SN is the same as my name here. ^_^
But I'm usually only on it weekends, as I can't get on the computer at home. (long story)

And also, while I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I've played PSO with someone from here, but I didn't know who it was at the time. Linka Knight was with us, and we went through and showed Olga who's boss. The mystery person was a HUneweral who was using grants and megid (I remember this cause I saw them and had no idea where they were coming from. )
So if this sounds like it was you, say so! This has been bugging me forever!

We should set up a time sometime where we're all on AIM or something and have one big group chat.

[AC9breaker]

heh I like your take on that DivA.

Well im the permanent local noob. There are still certain aspects to online stuff that I dont know about like wtf is IRC?Also since im a noob I dont have aim. MSN>me. PSO was.... is my first experience with anything online associated. Seem just like yesterday It was taking me like an hour just to type"WHAT RARE SI TAHT?" now I can I type it faster .

Also I have the brain capacity of a child which makes it very difficult for me to post at more then one forum. Somedays I feel like ----->(@.@;) SO it usually takes me some time to get things down pact. I stumbled on to this site like... somewhere this time last year.

My travels online went kinda like this Ah-king>The Arcade>Apocalypse -tribe.
Thank god for that little link. 8D
I like games,robots, fast thing,things that go boom, and purple.

[Omar]

oh cool this is good cause i know a lot of you guys are like "who the fuck is this guy?" especially if you never been to TA (the arcade)

hmmm about me? haha you want the truth? you cant handle the truth!....*cough*lame*cough*

anyway yeah.. hmmm from what i can understand from people... i seem to be an idiot, moron, stupid, annoying, asshole, sarcastic, a perv, and most importantly.. immature...

i also like long walks on the beach at night with a full moon and crystal by myside... and her husband on the other side kicking my ass...

no seriously.. i joke around a lot.. usually tie anything and everything around sex... maybe its because ive never had it.. but at the same time i like to think its pretty creative some of the things i can turn into something perverted :/ not sure if thats a talent or anything like that

yeah so anyway the AIM is OmaRock316..um you can IM me if you want.. im a cool person.. i sometimes say the wrong thing at the right time.. so you probably will be blocking me and un-blocking me a lot...lol... i dont know.. you either have to be a special person to put up with me or have the same weird sense of humor as me.. bah oh well what the fuck can ya do?


(oh and im also returning to ffxi.. prob may 7th when my HL ends imma just reactivate my ffxi account... and im a lev 26 paladin.. but i have multiple things leveled up to different levels(war lev 30, whm lev 11, and a taru monk like lev 7) and im willing to take a trip anywhere to play as long as i actually have gil.)

[Guest_Zio_*]

Haha I only know a few people on this site...the main people I know are DE, Rinn, and Linka. DE suggested this site to me which was actually the place I was looking for since the last couple forums I have been going to have a couple of morons that ruin the whole thing. I'm glad I don't see any of that here and hope to stick around a long time. Of course you can find me on FFXI...a lot...Also if you guys care to chat or something e-mail is Zio@rock.com and AIM name is zio004. Talk to me sometime for those that I don't know that much. Although I've gotten to know quite a few of you from the ls on FFXI.

[Mute]

*^^*
Wow that was awesome. I praise all of your guys's participation. Unlucky for you, I will be adding you to my buddy list. Mwahahahahaha


Seriously though, I didn't really expect this fast of response. You guys kick ass! However, I'm not through with you yet. Now we move to phase #2. Next time you find yourself on AIM (or whatever client you use) and have a bit of free time on your hands, Instant Message someone that you haven't before! Whether it be a fellow FFXIer that you only conversed with vaguely in game, or someone that has been around the forums that you perhaps would like to get to know better. Perhaps we can even get some chatrooms going sometimes. I know Retehi and I will definately be down for that. Gotta spread the love. AT style.

[Dive]

Mute you are a hell of a guy. I just wanted to say that.

I salute you my friend.

Most of you know me already so I won't bore anyone with the details. I like Mute's idea for a chatroom. A lot of chat does go on in the FFXI Linkshell, but having a discussion outside of the game would be a great way to include those who do not play FFXI.

Perhaps a weekly chatroom is in order?

[Retehi]

An AIM chat sounds good, they're rather easy to set up, hell I'm always in em', good fun really.

IRC could be another option. o:

[Mute]

Not a bad idea. We could always just make an AIM room called Apocalypse Tribe (or something like that) and meet there. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe AT has an IRC room. However, I think it would be easier for most peeps if we just did the AIM idea. Buddy chats are super easy and super quick to access. :D

[Merodi]

What the hooey, I guess I'll letcha into the mind of the mithra ^.^

My name is Melody, or Merodi, as those in the AC know me. I used to play PSO back in the DC days. It was the reason I bought my DC (the first system I scrimped, saved, and paid for through my sweat and tears). I was a Phonewurl with my beloved Ravena. I played for many a day, till the BSOD took away my precious heartwand, and eventually, my will to play floated to other endearing games....

and then FFXI came along. Through coaxing on Erdwin's part, and the gift of the game through ShadowBuni, I came to the wonderful lil' fantasy world. And so I spend my time there.

As for the real me, I'm a girl who loves anime and video games. Not so much an obsession, but enough to enjoy what they provide in entertainment and escape from the daily stress and rigors of real life. I enjoy creating things, through all forms of art, but I tend to not give myself much credit for what I do. I love cutesy wutesy, I act cutesy wutes, and frankly, when I'm too short to fit the pre-teen aisle and have to settle on kid's osh kosh b'gosh wear, I should be afforded that darn luxury. But that doesn't mean I'm the pretty in pink type. I'm not fond of barbies and even less fond of pink. I like plushies, but steer clear of the make up aisle unless I'm forced to. Shopping is not my life. I'm weak because I'm small, but if I can open a pickle jar when you can't, I'll try to rub it in for just a little while. My first toy collection was a set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If it's morbid, I'm curious. If it's deranged or demented, I wonder. If you've seen Suicide Circle, you'll understand. I love cats and dragons, both of wish I had at this moment.

So anyways, that's a short glimpse of who Merodi is.

[Astrid]

I tend to come off as very obnoxious and sarcastic at times, as well as blunt. Kaz once told me I don't know how to be subtle I don't know if I'd go that far, but it says something.

I'm pretty aggressive, too. I'm hardly cutesy, or giggly or cuddly. As I stated in quite a lot of detail, I despise girls like that because they're just there to fuel male ego, in my opinion. Until I injured my knee this winter, I was a martial arts student, which I plan to return to when I get my surgery. Until then, I plan to take archery up as a past time. I'm not there to make guys feel more masculine, which means that I won't act weak, stupid or overly feminine. In fact, I'm less feminine than most guys. This is something that I take pride in because I'm here to state my own opinions and develop my own mind, rather than attract people.

I'm a philosophy student, in hopes of one day becoming a professor. I like to open people's minds and I love to discuss abstract theories. Talking -- primarily debate -- is my utmost passion.

Some consider me insane, primarily because I've been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in the past, which means that I tend to anger easily. Sometimes this really affects my mood and I become difficult to deal with. This is not something I'm proud of :/

I'm very opinionated, as you can see :D And, no, I'm not a fucking man-hater. lol. I dislike both sexes equally. In fact, I dislike typical girls more, because of the reflection on me.

I'm absolutely fascinated with dual-weilding, so I plan to learn it as soon as I can

Ever since I was nine years old, I've been obsessed with X-Men comics -- particularly Rogue. The explanation for that, though, is rather long, drawn-out and personal, so I won't be posting it.

I also tend to be somewhat misanthropic, which makes it very weird that Dorian's been around for so long. Hehe. *eyes Dorian* But, he's cool. Maybe it's a sign that he's not one of the bad ones.

I love to write: fiction, specifically, not poetry. Although, the only poets I liked were those involved in the Romantic Movement. I even quoted S.T. Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" in my sig. If you want to read my fiction, just IM me. Dorian and I have an RPG site for X-Men and FFXI at http://www.geneticrevolution-home.com

I think that sums me up pretty well, although, it is very late and I'm falling asleep in the chair. If I find anything significant to add, I will.

EDIT: Forgot something important. I absolutely thrive on nature and all forms of greenery, which is why I plan to move out of the city and live somewhere in the woods, where I'm surrounded by tranquility. I think this explains my fascination with green

[Dorian]

[Dorian]

Oh I see how it is. People are SUPPOSED to tell you about themselvs in this post! Haha

Oh Here goes nofin:

I'm a very laid back guy who follows the motto "If you don't need or what to do something, then don't do it." I'm a pacifist who doesn't in any was judge people before he gets' to know who they truly are. But on the same end I'm agorophobic, lol. I have high hopes for the world and assume that humans are typically vey nice people, boy do I get let down alot, HAHAHAHAHAHA.

As for likes and dislikes. I'm a music geek. I love to read. I'm facinated by animal behavior. I study animals in my spare time. As a matter of fact did you know that every kinda of spider except the Jumping Spider, is practially blind? And the Jumping Spider inherited its name because it "jumps" it's prey from behind? LOL

I'm such a geek

Wow I guess I'm really a dull guy.. Not much to me.. Oh well. At least I'm cooler than this kid ~>>>>>

Oh haha, Astrid just reminded me. I'm also a comper geek. Damn, I'm 3 geeks in one. I feel likea geek now.

EDIT: Oh yea, I also play the Drums, the Guitar, and the Bass, and most recently piano....

Damn I have alot of free time....

[Rogue]

I suck at talking about myself. ;x

The best way to get to know me is... well... just get to know me. lol told ya I suck at talking about myself >.>

AIM: Darksorr0w

You would be very lucky to find me on AIM most of the time though. I log on for a few minutes every night but I usually don't stay on long unless someone sends me a message.

[SaitoH]

I've come full circle. In three years I've gone from annonymous to post whore and back. I'm Filetmignon, and that's all I can be anymore ... errr I guess I'm SaitoH too, since that's my SN here.

>_>

So, In that capacity, I shall continue to make silly/stupid comments online and generally act like an idiot, because that's what Taru characteristic I consider most intrinsic.

I'm saying this because I feel I owe an explanation as to why I haven't been posting as of late. It's not because of my lack of interest in participating in this community, it's just that my participation will be in game only.

Cya online!

^w^/

[Guest_Zio_*]

[psobsesser]

I think we should set a time this weekend to all get on AIM; anytime is good for me. I never sleep on weekends. ^_^

[ArekuReiesu]

Hmm well how should I start... I'm not really good at this >.<

I'm ArekuReiesu, or you can call me Alex since people know me as that from PSO v1 and Final Fantasy XI (It's my real name too). I was first introduced to you all by my good friends Rogue and Crawurm. Hmm what else... I'm a really passive, but really nice person and try my best to help others as much as I can, (RL or in game).

Likes: Well first of all, I love you all here at AT... and next would have to be online gaming in general.

Dislikes: Not much I can put here, since there's a lot of things I really don't like.

Hobbies: Umm... if being a full time student counts, then that works! Reading, and also, the obvious, online gaming.

I don't really know what else to say, but if you wanna talk to me, you can find me on AIM! My S/N is ReiesuArekuW

[Layrinn]

Whee-hoo! My turn ^^

First a bit about Layrinn...

Layrinn first truly came to life as a HUnewearl waaaay back on DC PSO v.1. I guess that was something like three years ago, huh? I played her a little while on Dark Age of Camelot and a teensy bit on Earth & Beyond. When PSO ep 1&2 came out for the Game Cube, it was addiction all over again, as Layrinn once again hunted on the planet Ragol. (This is when I hooked up with the AT) Now, like most of her fellow former hunters, she's waging battle against the beastmen hordes on Vana'diel... with the same trusty friends by her side. ^^

'Rinn is the most in-depth and well defined character I have ever created... she has a life all her own. It would take far too much time to relate it all here. She's formed unbreakable bonds with those who have been there to experience it with her. (many of which have spilled over into real-life friendships for me) If I had to sum her up in a few short phrases, I would pick the short description I wrote on her PSO Guild Card:

Black haired beauty with a heart of gold. She's a lover and a fighter.


And now, a bit about me...

I recently moved from Virginia to Colorado where I am attending grad school, studying robotics to earn my master's degree in Electrical Engineering. I like what I'm studying, but it's a lot of hard work. I work as a graduate teaching assistant to support myself while I'm in school. For the last two semesters, this has entailed teaching several electronics labs... if you ever hear me say I gotta go teach, that's what I'm off to do. (Professor 'Rinn! ;p) It's been a surprisingly enjoyable experience for me, and actually has me considering teaching as something to do for a living, although I'd prefer to be in a more design oriented role.

My hobbies include gaming, (duh) fast cars, and electronics. I'm fairly skilled at all kinds of technical stuff... everything from electronic gadgetry to some serious automotive projects. I'm just as "at home" online in FFXI as I am hunched over an oscilloscope or an engine bay. ^^ Every now and then, I get a creative itch.. and I like to scratch it by working on computer illustrations or 'Rinn-oriented fan fiction. You can find several examples of both if you dig around these forums a bit. (In fact, this would be a good way to get to know some of the more subtle details of 'Rinn's persona) There's also an elusive picture of me floating around here somewhere. ;)

Oh yeah... and I'm totally freakin' in love with the rock group Dream Theater. There is no one better... don't even try. ;p


I'm always up for a chat. I have two PCs set up, so even when I'm playing something online I still have AIM and MSN up. (my contact info is in my profile) So... if I'm home and I'm awake, chances are excellent that I'll be available to talk. ^^ I think the idea of a group chat is awesome. I generally spend all weekend on Vana'diel, so any time then is fine really.

[Mute]

Chat GET!
Retehi, scu, and I are in the AIM room Apocalypse Tribe.

Come join the fun.


EDIT: Had Donkey, Rinn, Camulus, and even Scan join us for a bit. Lasted a good few hours too. Good stuff. Y'all shy folk need to come in sometime. We'd love to talk with ya. Just go to Buddy Chat and invite yourself to Apocalypse Tribe. Either that or IM peeps randomly and we'll put one together. This of course if you want to chat n stuff.

[Madgeiser]

Ack! That was me above....

[Merodi]

My AIM is Merodi Kitn >.< I'm new to it, so I have no idea how to get to that chat thingy you all have ^^;

[psobsesser]

Well, I will be on AIM sometime later. Hope I can chat then!

[Knightsword]

I came around the middle of last year, by then I had been playing with the verious members of AT on the GC PSO for a while and been PSO since Ver 1 on the Dreamcast. I'm staff/mod over Dreamstation.cc (man way to many children there now). Now I've moved on to FFXI, sadly havn't played PSO since, but I had a fun 3 years playing it.

I live in the big city that is Minneapolis and among the group of Minnesotan members. I work downtown and have a oh so wonderful Wednesday through Sunday 2nd shift, so I end up not being able to get online late till late

My likes are reading, bike riding along the Mississippi river, playing video games of course and there was one other but I forgot what it was... heh

My dislikes are well "people" (all though I do like persons) and those who whine about their mistakes instead of trying to fix them.

[DarkEpyon]

Hmmmm...... where to begin.

Date of birth: March 30, 1981 (Pres. Reagan was shot that day)
Age: 23
Height: 6'2"
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue

I'm a college student currently living in Florida. For the uninitiated, I used to live in Okinawa (part of Japan) for the better part of 6 years. Air Force brat here. Another (somewhat) interesting fact is I've never had a girlfriend. Money I'd rather spend on games/tokusatsu.

I like heavy metal, video games (duh, otherwise I probly wouldn't be here), anime, tokusatsu (think Ultraman, Godzilla, Sentai et al). Some of you are probably familiar with my love for sentai.

Favorite video games (in no particular order):
-PSO
-Final Fantasy 1-6
-Xenogears
-Chrono Trigger
-Mega Man 1-5, X-X5
-Seiken Densetsu 3 (was 60% translated, and was usurped in favor of Super Mario RPG back in 1996)
-Romancing SaGa 3 (never brought over to the States, just like the first two. Far better than the SaGa Frontier games)
-Metal Gear Solid (haven't tried twin snakes yet)

Favorite food(s):
-Pizza
-Buffalo wings
-Chicken chalupas
-Hamburgers
-Chocolate milk
-Frosted Mini-wheats

Favorite anime:
-Dragon Ball Z (not the watered down GARBAGE shown on Toonami)
-GaoGaiGar
-Gundam X
-Gundam Wing

Favorite tokusatsu (Japanese live action):
-Chojin Sentai Jetman (Bird man task force Jetman)
-Denji Sentai MegaRanger (Electromagnetic task force MegaRanger)
-Chojyu Sentai LiveMan (Super beast task force LiveMan)
-Tokusou Sentai DekaRanger (Special investigation task force DekaRanger)

Dislikes:
-Noisy pets
-Boy bands
-People who ask too many retarded questions
-Pasta
-Overly nosy people (read: too many questions)

Shortcomings:
-Big procrastinator
-Sometimes says or does things that unintentionally hurt others
-Overly boastful at times

For those wondering where the hell I've been on FFXI as of late, all my ID's have been de-activated, and I find myself playing RO again with several old DC PSO buds (who are still playing RO to this day). Not to mention the pains of what I like to call RL C-mode, aka school.

Catch me on AIM as DarkEpyon9999
