   Hello all,
   
   The name is POG (long story). I currently reside in the permafrost (although it's not so frosty today). In the past I was an avid gamer and after about 12 solid years of gaming, moved away from my companions, who still are at it. I just stumbled upon the Citadel yesterday and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm quite impressed by what I've seen and hope to add to what you guys have built here.

2. Welcome POG.

   PS - Beware of the :pixie: and the :hyper:

   Ah yes, we are haven for gameless RPGers. That was the reason the site went up in the first place. Been gameless for about 5 years now and, hmmm, yes, the site has been around for about that long in different incarnations.
   
   Welcome to our creative retreat!

    We live in the world of search engines, and people still have easy questions?
    http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/POG
    
    This would be my guess
    http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Bungalow/3972/
    
    My second guess
    http://www.boardgamers.org/yearbook/pogpge.htm
    
    Of course, it could be short for something else, or their abbreviations, but I doubt it.
    
    So... Do I win the Kewpie Dolls?

    :D Thanks for the curiosity. I've had the name POG since '89. Until that point I had been playing D&D and as a player only playing humans and demi humans but never something as revolting as a HOBGOBLIN! In college I hooked up with a bunch of guys that were playing a palladium campaign and we could play other races, to include hobgoblins, which I jumped at. I named my character POG because that sounded hobgoblinish It was kinda liberating. As a game master I had played monsters but this was out of control. Especially since I wasn't evil per se.
    
    Any way the fellas I met during that game became really good friends and still are to this day. POG is easier than my real name and kinda fits my personality so it stuck as a nickname. There are people in the world who know me by that name only. Odd thing is I pulled that name outta...you know. I hadn't even heard the word POG. I grew up in NYC so we didn't drink POG or play with POG's so...
    
    That's the story...

    Thank you for explaining POG...
    NOW! We all welcome you at the citadel!!
    
    Well... I really thought that your name POG is pronounced as P.O.G witch each letter have a meaning... for example...
    
    P- Perfect
    O- Original
    G- Godly
    
    I guess I think to much... >_

    Never perfect. Original often. Godly sometimes. No Pee Oh Gee, just plain POG.
    
    Okay somebody please explain :hyper: and :pixie: for me.

    They mean nothing, unless there's a...
    
    MONSTER DANCE!
    
    :hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper:
    :hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper:
    
    Anyway...
    Well, I can't say that I'm a fan of D&D, and I've never played Palladium. But that's immaterial.
    
    How's living in New York?

    I grew up in NYC my current location is the Permafrost, which can loosely be tanslated as Alaska. Been here since '92
    
    I don't know what the monster dance is but....I'm frightened.

    So... How's living in Alaska?

    It's beautiful. I can still say that after all the time I've been here. When I first got here I was dying to leave, being a city boy and all. But it kinda grows on you. I met my wife who's from here, got a good job, brought a house that would cost me four times as much in New York. Now she's the one who's restless. I'm sure we'll be here another three years or so. Maybe longer. Sunny summers and snowy winters.

    Ah, I guess POG experience nighttime sunlight as well then :)
    
    I do not live far enough north for 24 hour sunlight, but I do experience 22 hours sunlight a day, especially now when there are only 2 days left till midsummer. Winter is another story ;)

    Ancient Gamer,
    
    Where are you at? I'm not far enough north for sunlight 24 hours either and I'm glad for it. That means I'm not far enough north for 24 hours of darkness either.

    Unfortunate? Nah, could be worse. I've a good friend who moved from Alaska to Oslo a few years ago and he seems to be having a good time. Besides, you're one to talk :)

22. Hail!

    *sigh*
    I wish I can see real snow....

26. New to the Citadel

    You've never seen snow?!
    I'll send you a boxful, when wintertime rolls around. :)

27. New to the Citadel

    Come hither, Rei, and I will take you to places where there are huge chunks of snow and ice called glaciers.

28. New to the Citadel

    #28

    *Sigh* The winters around my part of the world are always rather suckish. It snows...and then melts before I can play in it, what a let down. But at least we do get some, unlike poor Rei. Rei, I will mail you some snow in an envelope....along with Captain Penguin.

29. New to the Citadel

    #29

    Come here and all you get is snow that melts the second it hits the ground and very dark slush from the dirt off the roads. Not much fun to play in :roll:

    Me and Rei really do admire you guys...We wanna see SNOW!!!!
    
    It could be hard living in a tropical country like the Philippines, y'know... :(
