Popular Post Shivertongue Posted September 12, 2010 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 (This is just a joke. You guys know I think you're awesome.) Well, since none of the others have followed my lead and posted a sticky thread introducing themselves, I'll do it for you! Because you, the loyal forum dwellers of 17th Shard, deserve to know who your overlords are. Chaos, also known as Eric, is the Lord Ruler of the Forums. He's a math geek who will randomly teach you calculus whether you want to learn it or not, with an unnatural obsessions with unicorns and Pokemon. He runs the forums, with the fellow moderators as nothing more than his cadre of Inquisitors, existing only to enforce his will (when he's looking). It's true. He pounded steel spikes through our eyes and everything. firstRainbowRose is obviously a fantasy character, as her name, Mi'ch, has the required superfluous apostrophe. She runs the PR for this site, but her most important duty is keeping the rest of us in line. Seeing as how I'm typing this post, you can guess how well she's doing her job. She and Rubix are engaged married <3 Rubix, also known as Josh, is The Boss. No, wait, that's Springsteen. Josh is The Czar. Or maybe The Tsar. Whatever he is, Josh is in charge of the entire site and everyone in it. When you agreed to the terms and conditions, you signed your soul over to him. He doesn't speak much, but this is because one word from his lips will wreak destruction upon everything around him. He is also engaged married to a fantasy character, firstRainbowRose. KChan is the newest member of the staff, and has yet to go through the degrading hazing ritual. She's a cosplayer - so don't get to close - with legions of fanboys at her beck and call. She also co-runs the Mistborn RPG, in which she has more characters than Eric has personality. She can use fist, guns, and rhetoric to flay the skin from your bones. Serious. Her friends are terrified of her. Kar isn't really a member of the staff. He's an Inquisitor on a treadmill, powering the forums with his powerful pewter-enhanced powerwalking. He also wields the mighty BanAxe, with which he will sever your head from your body. Or maybe just you from the forums. Either works. Shivertongue is Will, also know as me, the person typing this post. He is always right and never lies, so you can trust him with anything. He has amazing hair and a deep, manly voice that will make you swoon. He does the graphics for the site, as well as handles all merchandising. When there is stuff to actually merchandise, he will use his compelling voice and charm to make you buy everything. Even the 17th Shard underwear. And that's all of us! Your handy-dandy guide to the staff of 17thShard.com. Consult it often, for it is the unvarnished truth. I should know - I polish it daily. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eerongal Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Where are you all from, how do you know eachother and when/why did you decide to start this site?I can answer this one! Most are from Utah (but not all), they know each other from TWG (same reason i know all this stuff), and started this site after sanctions and discussions on said TWG earlier this year (at least i think it was this year, could be wrong.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I was born and raised in the Saint Petersburg area of Florida, but I'm currently in Boca Raton for school. I came to know 17th Shard through Eric, whom I first met on TWG. We then took over the Mistborn RPG together, and now, here I am! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm not on the staff, but I've actually met a couple of these people. Josh and Mi'ch. Those two are CRAZY, and also slightly romantic, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 For the simple answer for how all of us met: through Brandon's work, and his forums on TWG. I spoke with Mi'ch a ton before she met Josh. I met Kerry when she heavily persuaded me to join the Mistborn RP. And Will is a member of the writing group on TWG, Reading Excuses, so I met him there. But yeah, mostly, we all know each other because we love Brandon's stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KChan Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 does that mean when they claim to be hemalugists that they don't mean they are the ones who have been spiked, but the ones who have been administering the spikings! Also, note that we've always made references to spiking people. It's not like we make a secret of it or anything. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eerongal Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Also, note that we've always made references to spiking people. It's not like we make a secret of it or anything. I say we do both. Make it obvious AND secret. I went ahead and started that trend for us up there with this no-goodnik. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zas678 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 They really aren't that bad, once you get used to the odd holes in your clothing. I completely support everything that- HELP ME I"M BEING LED BY A CONSTANT STREAM OF EMAI- Ignore that. Sometimes I go into completely false bouts of craziness.
