Hail fellow Dragons!
My name is Saran Dragon and I joined UDIC earlier this month.

Although I have played some of the Ultima's, it has been a while since I
last
played one.
I am currently a active player of Ultima Online and play several characters
on the Sonoma as well as a beta tester on UO:T2A.

As most of you know, from October 2 new shards will be opening in Japan
and I will most likely be moving over to the Asuka shard since it is located
closer to home.
Ah.....yes, I'm Japanese.
I am currently seeking friends of fellow Dragons who may want to play in
the new shards, preferably those who like to roleplay as well as help others
and just like to have fun!
Also if you may be interested in learning my language, I will be more than
delighted to teach you as well ( although I'm not exactly a teacher person )
If you are interested, please send me a email to the address below.

Thanks,
Saran Dragon

...and it was written on the heavens that on Mon, 28 Sep 1998 14:40:55 +0900,
the entity named Saran Wrap (sa...@sepia.ocn.ne.jp)
inscribed the following words in rec.games.computer.ultima.dragons:

>Hail fellow Dragons!
-clip-

Greetings!

-clip-


>My name is Saran Dragon and I joined UDIC earlier this month.

-clip-

A new Dragon, hey? Well, we all know what that means... *EG*

-clip-


>I am currently a active player of Ultima Online and play several characters
>on the Sonoma as well as a beta tester on UO:T2A.

-clip-

I don't play UO for reasons I don't want to get into. Although some
Dragons do, most are not regular UO players AFAIK. If you need to know
anything important on UO, then head on to
rec.games.computer.ultima.online
You're more likely to prefer this group though. *G*

-clip-
>Ah.....yes, I'm Japanese.
-clip-

Ah, an Asian Dragon. Not many of us here. Welcome again!
I'm ethnic Chinese, from Singapore, btw.

-clip-


>I am currently seeking friends of fellow Dragons who may want to play in
>the new shards, preferably those who like to roleplay as well as help others
>and just like to have fun!

-clip-

A roleplayer. That's good. I like roleplayers. :)

-clip-


>PS: To roster maintainers - can you please add my name to the roster?

-clip-

Hmmm... did you recieve the greeting message from one of the Greeters?
It's their job to put you on the roster, and I'd expect they would had
already done so before you recieve your entry confirmation.

Uni should be able to help if she was here, but apparently she
isn't... perhaps some other Greeters? Can't remember any others at the
moment...

And now...

*SPLUT*

You have been hit by a cream pie. Standard greeting procedure for
newbie Dragons. I tend to SPLUT less now, but with Pothead's
complaints, I guess I'd just have to start again... :)

Have a great time here. Don't be scared of our fights, though. We tend
to fight and flame a lot. That extra Dragonfire must go somewhere... :)

Comparing to those Japanese in Diablo's BattleNet that I've met, your
English is amazingly good. Welcome to this group! We both come from afar
( I live in Taiwan). FYI, allow me to brief the situation. The Dragons
here use their tongue most of the time, but their teeth, not for food,
on occasion. Further classification of Dragons into different species
won't get any point and no racism here as I observe. They are either
incarnations of the Avatar or humble followers of Avatar's path like me.

Have fun!

Unfortunately, Nihongo wa hanasenmasen (is that correct?). I checked out
Japanese about two years ago when I had planned to visit Osaka for a month,
but I never went... money problems. I vaguely remember the Kanji alphabet
and I'd like to learn more about the sentence structure and the words. I
should check a bookstore for Japanese books, it'd be a nice break from all
the computer stuff. I was originally going to learn Russian, but I don't
think I'll be needing that for some time (and the mother of my last
girlfriend had studied Russian in university, but broke up with her).

I think I'll write you an email when I get home! Where in Japan do you live?
Tokyo/Kobe/Osaka/...?

Anyways: Arigato, Saran-san! (hoping that means 'welcome')

<hands Saran a towel> Tradition is a good teacher.

"Hello. My name is Pothead. Don't worry about friends, were all friends here
on the UDIC."

Pothead looks down at his hand only to find that he is rubbing them
together.

"And as your friend, I'd like to welcome you to this group in my own special
way."

Pothead drops his right hand to his side, expecting to find his trusty AD
gun, only to find it missing.

"That's right," he munmbles to himself, "I droped it when I left. No matter.
I'll just have to do this a different way."

He then drops his left hand to his side and retreves a small gray box with a
red button on it. Pothead presses the button.

"Welcome to the NG, I have to find something now so if you'll excuss me...."
and with that, Pothead left.

Somewhere in outerspace though, a blinding flash of light appers. The light
zooms through space and heads for the earth's atmosphere. A few seconds
after the phenominon accurs, a loud boom follows. On Earth the anomily can
now be seen. It gets closer and closer until.....

*Sonic SPLUT*

Where the new dragon was once standing is now a huge crater filled with
cream. In the middle of this new cream lake the shape of Suran is seen
swimming to the serface.

A beta tester, eh? Well, don't forget to give 'em your opinion...

The... "Asuka" shard?

Pray tell, is the other shard named "Rei?" Or "Shinji?" ;)

> Ah.....yes, I'm Japanese.

I'm not. I'm a bit of an anime freak, though. (The anime doesn't make me
freakish--my goal of creating the MAGI system does. ;) )

Well, I'm not a UO player anymore. Too much time required--a B.S. tends to
suck time like... Hmm, I can't seem to find any clean similes to use...

Sorry, I'm already living with a Japanese History student. But thanks for
offering. :)

Oh, and welcome to the NG!

"Welcome to the Dragons. I join the others in wishing you have an
enjoyable time here. Of course you know what happens now..."

Paulon yanks a string out of thin air and ties it to one end of his
umbrella. He bends the brolly over and ties the string to the other end.
Producing an arrow from the same undefined location as the string, Paulon
fires it at Saran using the improvised bow. Paulon watches the arrow fly
straight for a moment.
"Oops. Rel Ylem!"
The arrow changes into a pavlova just before it strikes Saran.
*SPLUT!*

In the hall of rec.games.computer.ultima.dragons the entity commonly
known as Paul Ryan on Tue, 29 Sep 1998 20:13:30 +1200 uttered the
following message:

And as the cream is dripping off Saran's face, another Dragon appears
like a dot on the sky growing steadily. A Saran is bracing himself (? I
can't really tell since I don't now if Makoto is male/female.) for more
pies this Dragon lands beside him and hands him a Cinnabon.

- Here you are, welcome to the UDIC and RGCUD! Hope you'll enjoy it here
and it the Cinnabon fast before someone tries to snatch it from you. The
'Bon-snatchers don't have any shame at all in their bodies! See you
around.

This is getting almost as traditional as the *SPLUT* itself! :)
