*Drum roll* Another newbie!, (Hope you guys aren't sick of another topic like this...) Options

[Cherryblossom]

Hi hi all! ^^

And yes, you guessed it, it's that time again today. It's time for the show that introduces the newbies. Shocking! Dismaying! Catalog living...? *Pause* Hmm...this is getting weird.

Ahem! Let me start again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif) My name is Cherryblossom (and sorry about that little mess I wrote above. I guess checking the shopping channel everyday actually drummed that weird little quote into my head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif) )

Anyways, back to me...I'm a 19-year-old girl and I've been a fan of Harvest Moon for ages and have played a few of the games in this series (and those in the Rune Factory series too). But no HM game piqued my interest quite like Animal Parade did. I searched every website I could to find out more information on it. I also went into various HMAP forums to see what others could tell me. But I was disappointed when most of the time the topics drew completely away from HM, or when the people there were...hmm...I'll remain silent on that point.

Err, this ramble does have a point and I'm getting to it: I was just about fed up with it all, when I happened to stumble upon the Ranch Story Forums. I had previously been to the website but never bothered to look into the forums (don't ask me why)...Until now.

Apart from the amount of information, I was more taken in by the sense of community, and the readiness to accept newbies. This compared to the "BF4EVA" that I would find in other forums, was like a breath of fresh air. Of course I hastily sought out the AP forums and in my giddy state joined and began posting, before even giving myself the chance to introduce myself.

So here I am! Wow...That was quite the intro...Hope I haven't scared anyone away from reading it (Who am I kidding? Even I can't be bothered to read it again ^^;).

Okie dokie, I think I've taken up enough space, so if you feel up to the challenge, post away! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

Welcome to madness, Ms Cherryblossom. Enjoy your stay and watch out for the "lemonade"..

[Charmy]

Welcome to Ranch Story Cherry!
And thank you for complimenting the forums so much! We try our best.

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to post a topic, if anyone knows the answer they'll post in seconds.

*Gives you cookies*

[Jason]

I'm up for any challenge... but yeah, I read the entire thing. I'm tough like that. ;]

Glad you decided to join in on the fun, you'll love it here (I'm psychic). I know what you mean when you say "fed up" with a bunch of forums -- unmoderated, spam, and other junk. Not us, that's what makes RS a gem. And we have cool people here too. Lol.

Before my post starts looking dangerous like yours, I'll wrap it up.

Welcome!

[Daniella]

Welcome to Ranch Story. :3

I thought we had to pay for those, Charmy. D;

[Charmy]

Mine are free. Because I'm awesome.

[Marley]

Well hello and welcome! :D
You will probably see me in the EAM forum. That's pretty much where I live. >>
We have some awesome people in that little nook of the forums. And pretty much everywhere else. Awesome lives in every corner of this place.

Well, post often, post everywhere, post well, and have fun!

[Totoro Spirit]

Hey there! Welcome to RS, I hope to see you around the forums.

[Oscar]

YAY! More newbies! How fun!

WELCOME TO RANCH STORY!!!!!! Woooo! I hope you love it here and DO post everywhere! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

@Jason: Thanks for the welcome :D Cool people here, huh? Does that make me one now too? Woot! And what do you mean by dangerous post! *Post stabs someone in the eye* Opps...Better clean that up...

@Daniella: Thankyou for being the first one to welcome me! (I saw it in the comments section of my profile and I was all: Awww <3) Wait...you have to PAY for those?! No, wait...it's free?! You guys are having fun jerking me around, aren't you?

@Oscar: You're one hyper little jelly bean, aren't ya? Hehe, thanks for the super happy welcome!


Thankyou all for the warm welcomes. It was much appreciated <3 (Oh, and I hope I didn't leave anyone out)

Welcome to Ranch Story. Cherryblossom~

Don't worry, we don't get sick of introduction topics. :)

It seems I don't really need to ask you to post often as you said you've already began posting :D.

So anyways, have fun and hope you decide to stick around~

[Charmy]

What's wrong with my cookies? ;__;

Well, I'm glad that your already enjoying the forums, I hope you stay for a long time!

What a fail cupcake.

[Cherryblossom]

@showchoirgirl: Thank you very much showgirl. :) Whoops, showchoirgirl. And I'm sure I will be sticking around for awhile (especially with the push back of AP's release date. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/weirdsmile.gif) I'll need somewhere to cry during the wait. T_______T)

@Charmy: *Does shifty eyes* Err...nothing's wrong with your cookies...^^; And yes, I'm already enjoying myself. (Oh, I just noticed your title...I'm Aussie too. :D)

@Harvest Sprite: Yay! A cupcake! Wait a minute...This didn't come from the same place the lemonade and the cookie came from, did it? Hehe, and thanks for the welcome!


Oh no, the forums are already sucking me in...Not when I have to finish my essay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalasad.gif) Better leave for now, but I'll be back! And thanks again all. :D

[Charmy]

*Gives you multicoloured jello* ENJOY. OR ELSE.

You're an Australian too? LIEK, OH EM GEE. *Highfive*
Oh, toodles Cherry~

[Peter]

We're never sick of seeing new faces. We just hope to see yours plenty, with lots of activity. I hope we can provide you with more information as your needs expand. Take care, and enjoy the forums.

[Cherryblossom]

@Charmy: Nooooo! Not the jello! .....Hey, that reminds me of that add, do you remember the Aeroplane Jelly one?
I like Aeroplane Jelly!~ Aeroplane Jelly for me!~

@Peter: Aww, thank you very much. :D It's welcomes like these that will never make we want to leave! Mwahahahahaha...*cough* sorry...^^; I already love the forums, I'm sure you'll see my name around :D

[IdlersDream]

Welcome to the forums.

We may be weird or quirky but... Well, you're probably weird or quirky if you like Harvest Moon aswell.

Okay, that may not have made any sense but I'm very tired and hey, you've already received many, much better welcomes than mine. :P

[Be Happy!]

Welcome to RS!

I'm excited for Animal Parade.

Well, hope to see you around and post often. :]

[Lenyo]

Welcome to RS. And stay away from my dumpster.
