Well would you look at that.

Look what the lurker dragged in, eh? I thought you all should be once more graced with my presence. After all, you can never truly leave home, or some such mushy gush.

Perhaps I should become reacquainted. Some of you remember me, some of you don't. But back in the day I used to be someone people knew around here. I ragequit back in 2012 around this time due to a few incidents I will not name at this time and also ASB being supposedly perma-closed. In that time frame, I lost two good friends of mine, and went searching for another home elsewhere. I never did find it.

I only started lurking again recently, just to see if things have cooled off from back then. Seems they have, so I may as well show my pretty face around here again.

So uh... Hi.

also: I notice someone's got an ASB facsimile almost up and running, anyone got an ETA on when that'll be finished or if they'll ever allow fakemon again?

zora! hey it's been... really a long time wow

it's cool to see you tho, it seems a lot of people just can't escape tcod's pull in the end

I most definitely remember you. Welcome back!

you know i'd say welcome back but considering we talk all the damn time i doubt that's necessary

also i can't stop laughing at "is that a fucking bear" in the tags

Oh, hey. You. You probably don't know me, but I've seen some of your posts around here. Good to see you're... not dead.

Looking at this list in ASB leads me to believe Fakemon are not going to be included this time around, I'm afraid.

Oh hey Zora!

Even though we've chatted on other sites, it's nice to see you back here.

oh wow, hi!

you'd have to confirm this with Zhorken, but my understanding is that we're waiting for Zhorken to be back from l337 haxx0r skool to finish up a few things. basically stuff has been delayed by real-world stuff, but it's definitely happening!! but again, maybe confirm with zhorken for an actual time

Unfortunately not, as they're kind of a huge pain to implement and balance out, and it's a headache getting them sorted out well enough for them to be approved (i'm sure everyone remembers the back-and-forth you'd go through to get them added to the league).

is that a fucking bear lmao

That, and more critically, a solid amount of the fakemon we did have were created by people who haven't been seen in a while, to say the least, so we don't exactly have their continued consent to use the species.

Still, depending on the amount of popular demand, the ASB fakedex could be, so to say, rebooted. There are other things that the organizers would have to deal with before getting into that, though.

Also, welcome back.

Welcome back!

I've only talked to you once (about ASB, probably), but it's nice to see old members coming back.

Hi!

I'd never have guessed you'd be back, but... yeah. Good to see you back.

I don't think I know you, but welcome back anyway!

I don't remember talking to you much outside of RPs, mafia, and ASB, but I do remember seeing you around, so welcome back!
