Hallo.  I've gone by many names over my many years on the Internet, but the one I've used that some people around here may remember is Kt3.

Anyway, I'm here, I'll probably continue to lurk, but if I pop up and say something, try not to be too confused as to who I am.  :d

We'll figure it out. :)

The first time I ran into most of you all was when Delphi forums were still up and relevant.  I posted a little there, lurked quite a bit, and bid my time.  I also spent some time on IRC in #soulriders back when it was on nabiki and when the svartalfheim redirector came up.

Okay. That explains why Dracos knows you and I don't. I spent those years hanging around #fanfic on Nabiki. Didn't frequent Delphi and only now am doing SR.

Anyway, welcome!

I blame your lack of Sun Needle.

Go on a quest to retrieve this.
Well, Goodbye.

It would probably help if I knew what the heck a sun needle was, that statement probably showing my lack of gaming knowledge and lowering me considerably in everyone's estimation. :)

I haven't told anyone but Drac what they are.

He is taunting.

He is quite good at that.

Actually, Latin_D suggested "sin nombre" ages ago when I decided to go with a pen name meaning "no name" instead of using my real one, and "Nanashi" was already in use. I just played with the lettering a bit. ;p  Apparently, I'm not the only one who's come up with that twist, either. I've run into it elsewhere on several occasions.

I would have suggested a combination of a primary color/force and a cabbit....

HAHAHAHA~! It took me about 15 seconds to figure out to what you were referring. Gah. Haven't thought about Cabbit Blue in ages, either. I really am getting old. *joints creaking* I commend your recall abilities. That I was Cabbit Blue wasn't commonly known, either. :)

That webpage is long gone too. IIRC, it was a sub-account to MageOhki's Anifics page, and Anifics has long died.

I have those files saved.

If you want to avoid these being released to the public, leave an unmarked duffel bag at....  :p

Nice try, but someone could probably get at them through one of those web archives, like the Wayback Machine. ;p However, I'll give you an A for effort and put a box of Krispy Kreme donuts in the duffel.

That being said, you're going to end up with everyone being your hatebot. The Wayback Machine is rather... unreliable. :)

I specialize in reliablificating access to older fanfics, especially if they are old shames.

(Once someone emailed me asking me to censor a fanfic from my mailing list archive. I told him "No. Change your email address and/or your name.")

Good. Go find Latin_D and remind about his old Ranma/Macross fic, Silent Battles. >:)

I'm Dave, although I answer to Sinom Bre, Rain, or just Hey, you! on occasion.

Jeez, we just let ANYONE wander in here these days, don't we. Can't we put up some ropes to keep out the riff-raff?
-Ragnar
"BUT THOU MUST!"

DannyCat|somewhere: Watch out, Huitzil. Encredible froce is being swang here.

Dracos

Yes, Ragnar, you are a Guardian Ninja.
It is your job to slay the riff-raff.
Well, Goodbye.
