Hi! I'm ghost!

[HiImshort]

hi ghost. names shorty. welcome to raf

[A ghost you know]

Yeah, I'd be surprised if you didn't stick around, simply judging from how quickly your post count has grown! You became a RAFregular pretty quickly!

But yes, I think that's why the generations became more systematic. Personally, I like the more easily-defined generation system. It works well for my little pea brain!

I prefer the date-based system. My timesense is totally screwed, so I'd probably regularly get generations confused if they were based off notable events...

Hiya ghost, I'm Tara   Welcome to RAF!  Wow, you speed demoned through the series, in a week!  Wowsers.  Sorry if I missed it below, but did you have a favorite book?  I'm pretty sure mine were the Chronicles, especially Visser, but I really enjoyed #41 and #19.  What do they all have in common?   Well, major Yeerk characters or major viewpoints into Yeerk society...yeah, I think Yeerks are pretty great.  It's a little sad, really.

Hi Tara, nice to meet you!
Some Yeerks aren't so bad. I have become more enlightened about this since I came here. (Thanks Dameg!)
As for my favorite book... well, I really like them all. For humor, the ones where Ax or Marco narrate are absolutely perfect. For a serious look at life, Jake's can't be beaten. And Rachel's ones are in a league of their own.

You know what, I'm almost glad we don't have as much of an insanely detailed canon knowledge base as say, Star Wars or Star Trek...because I'm pretty sure I'd try to learn Galard or Yeerkish or something!   

lol, I know what you mean. I'm almost glad morphing tech doesn't exist because I'd probably try to acquire a tiger and get myself killed.

My boyfriend Dave (Pez001, who is now occasionally posting of his own free will on RAF!) is a computer guy, insofar as he's a computer animator  

Cool!
I don't do graphics/animation yet, but I'm planning on learning soon. Definitely fascinating stuff.

I might direct your attention toward the Galaxy's Edge Space Bar and its associated spin-offs, if you like RPGs...my characters are sort of odd ducks within the Yeerk range of normal personalities x3  That is to say...they're crazy.  Well...the Empire thinks they're crazy, because they won't take involuntary hosts, and they're basically...terrori sts...anyway.

I definitely tried to morph my cats and my dog, as a kid, but it totally never worked.  >.>  Super lame.

And good luck with the computer field, I think there's always going to be a good job market for it and you've gotta do what you really like  If you have any questions feel free to ask Pez001

I've seen some of those RPG's, and I'm currently watching a couple from the sidelines. Maybe I'll join one eventually, but not now. I'm still not familiar enough with them.

Nah, that's not lame. I haven't actually tried morphing, but I perpetually think about it and, worse still, I try to think of a practical way to create morphing technology. Now that is lame.

And good luck with the computer field, I think there's always going to be a good job market for it and you've gotta do what you really like

Meh, I don't know about the job market; it's been pretty weird lately, even in computer fields. Heck, even MS has cut over 5,000 people. I'm hoping things start turning upwards again soon, though.

If you have any questions feel free to ask Pez001

Thanks!

WHAT?!!! You don't know Galard?!! What kind of Yeerk are you?!!!
Well, you're not the only one, in fact. Many Yeerks born on Earth don't know more than few words of Galard, and speak only their host's language =_='

About the names changing all the time, I can't follow everything either. So I just use the nickname they have on the moment, even if I recognize them
It's already hard for me to remember the nicknames of other Internet friends, and the names of the Yeerks around me (when they change their hosts often, it's really hard! I have to remember both their name and their host's name, sometimes... Hopefully, I only care about some Vissers, my Sub-Vissers and my friends and brothers.)...

The bar is pretty easy to join--I should mention that the spinoffs are pretty much closed, since they are based on the decisions certain characters had made at the GESB itself.  But, new ones form once in a while, and if you have the writing chops and want to join in the fun, all it takes is walking through the door, and maybe ordering a drink.

Nah that's not lame, that's the mind of an engineer!  And perhaps a good biotechnologist!    I've worked in biotech (though I really didn't care for it much) and paleontology so creating and thinking about implausible creatures or technologies is part of the fun of the job

I hope they do too!  For your sake and Dave's -_-

Of course I know Galard, I was merely keeping up appearances...  And if you must know I wasn't born on Earth.  Hmph.

Maybe later. For now, though, I'm content to watch. (I actually just finished reading the entire Introduction Randomness thread - truly some cool stuff going on in there! I might join that later if a new problem crops up or the current problem goes out of control)

Biotech... I've always been fascinated by that, particularly the attempts to create nanobots to help supplement the body's natural immune system.
I've never gotten into biotech, but I may someday.

[Myitt]

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself already around here, ghosty

I worked in the microbiology quality control and buffer/media solution chemistry groups in pharmaceutical biotech, which is way lamer than nanotech, but I guess somebody's gotta crank out those quality drugs x3

[Terenia]

Hey ghosty! I haven't officially introduced myself yet, despite watching you be all lurky on the GESB.

I'm Terenia/Teach/T/Jessi. I answer to any of those, and a few other random names. It's great to see someone becoming so active so quick. It seems as though you fit right in around here!

Let me know if you need anything, welcome to RAF and I hope to see you in the GESB in the future!

Hi Terenia! Nice to meet you!

High activity levels seem to be common around here! 
(Not that I'm complaining - I love active places!)

Thanks!
I'll probably join GESB soon. For now, though, I'm happy to lurk on the RPG threads (as you've already seen). I'm still picking up on it.

Ca va, la traduction Google n'a pas trop foiré cette fois...

Hai thar. I'm Jess. Jess Girl to you. I'm a superhero. I win!



(Now that I'm done being a dork. I'm Jess, you're awesome. Welcome to RAF. )

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Y'know, RAF is getting a fair share of superheroes these days. It's nice to see a boost for the forces of good. We're so much more badass.

Hi Jess! Good to see you again!
Two minor corrections, if you don't mind.
#1: You're not a dork, you are awesome. Your title says so.
#2: I'm not awesome yet. I'm still working on that, and I've arrived at the conclusion it's a lifelong job. Seriously. (Or am I just going about it the wrong way?)

Meh, given the state of the world today we need more superheroes. Definitely nice to see a boost for the forces of good.
