Title: Ahoy, everybody
Post by: Maelin on July 01, 2007, 03:17:39 PM
Hey everyone. I was recommended to come have a look at this site, so here I am. I wasn't on Vengenza, but I know of it. I hear there was some kind of Incident which was all very interesting and so forth.

Anyway, better introduce myself. I'm 20 years old, I live in Melbourne, Australia, and am currently studying pure maths at university, in my third year now. I'm also an atheist; self-converted from Catholic when I was about 13 or 14, and apparently I fit into "secular humanism" pretty well, although I've never looked into it in any great detail.

I look forward to stimulating discussion and good times!

Welcome Maelin, hope you like the monastery. Some of us are religious, some atheist and some agnostic (like me ;) ) but we all share the ideal of tolerance.

Oh, and we do like sciency stuff.

Did I mention the pirates?

Hi Maelin (and greetings from Sydney),

So glad you found us over here. Some of the trolls on those Atheist boards are real stinkers. Pseudo-intellectual types that use words like 'strawman' and 'ad-hom' and sprout Ayn Rand to the hilt don't lurk here.

This is a great place to discuss many of the issues you've covered in very tolerant environment.

Have a good look around. There are some elements of Venganza, like Pirates and the Games, but the focus isn't on parody.

Cheers!

Welcome to our happy home.

Watch out for the Pirates, they'll tickle your fancy and turn your head, and you'll wind up wondering why everything smells of fish head stew!!

Have fun!
