    Hello to you all.

    I do apologise for the untimely intrusion of your fascinating forum, i simply wanted to say how happy i am to see that TROIKA still has some ardent followers keeping its spirit alive.

    After a short period of time spent reviewing some recent topics and posts, I can see that this is a truly unique forum that i would love to be a part of.... If possible of course.
    Once again a pleasure.

    My Riddle of the day......
    ------------------------------------------------
    The person who buys it doesn't need it

    The person who makes it doesn't want it

    The person who uses it doesn't know it
    ------------------------------------------------

    Does anybody care to Hazard a guess?

    Wow, that's a real brain buster. Way to make an entrance, with a tired riddle that probably everybody here has heard. Good job hero.

    Ah, a newcomer. You speak in such a polite manner, yet when I look at you, I hear a voice in my head saying "Get your butt in here and sit down. We got some business to discuss." I wonder if I'll feel like that every time you post, but if so, what an entertaining contrast shall it be, just like it is right now.

    I would suggest an answer to your riddle, but it wouldn't be fair if I used Google, now would it? No, of course not!
    Yet non-google'able riddles would be much appreciated.

    I believe Jungle Japes, that your post needs no reply, flawless as it is. I will say however that your somewhat scarcastic reference to me being a hero actually made me smile, albeit, a small smile, but a smile none the less. I would endevour to recieve more reply's with such an unwelcoming connetation, however i believe that i wont need to try in your case.

    Muro Lightning, many thanks for such a welcoming reply. If you wish to discuss business i have a cuban and some whiskey standing by.

    One last thing, the Riddle itself is of course not a difficult one to fathom. However, if you can find meaning beyond the simple answer "Coffin" then you would have solved my Riddle.

    Welcome to the forum. Now, if people here tell you they hate you and want you to leave; do not be alarmed. It's all part of the welcoming ceremony.




    Oh yes, almost forgot: *hrmm* Fuck off.

    Haha, thank you indeed. Like i said before this seems a very unique forum and i wouldnt expect anything less from any troika fan. Its that dark yet inventive sense of humour that made the Troika games for me.

    Gah! You sound like a politician. Ease up and relax. Other than that, welcome and insert obligatory fuck off and I hate you here.

    I'm beginning to like you already.

    Too bad that doesn't amount to anything here.

    Still, welcome!

    Welcome Bell Hooks. Now, what is it with you and a certain subjective pronoun that keeps you from gracing it with the upper case it deserves?

    Subjective Pronoun ehh? There was a time.... A very distant time, long forgotton in the past, where i knew the meaning of "Subjective Pronouns." A lifetime of self mental/physical abuse does tend to push such information to the back of ones brain.
    I am refering to alchoholism of course.

    This isn't called The House Of Lords because we walk around wearing top hats and monocles, so stop attempting to talk like you wear a top hat and monocle. You're trying too hard and it's obnoxious.

    Haha, what if i do wear a Top Hat and Monocule? In truth, i dont but i have always wanted a top hat. As far trying to sound like a fake upper class idiot goes, I really only do that at posh parties and when talking to my clients. I do tend to put some effort into what i post on forums, this is simply, my way. Some might say you have an over aggressive nature when posting, but I however, would say it is just your way. Hopefully you see what im getting at.

    Thank you to you all for a welcome. I expected a bit more critisism but im not going to complain. It is, not my way. Hehe.

    Let's cut all the crap about subjective pronouns and other words that have no meaning outside the world of linguistics.

    Capitalise your fucking 'I's, or get the fuck out.

    So what are you, a classy hooker who specializes in steampunk role play?

    If so, I'd buy her for a night.

    This guy's manner of posting reminds me of Garm Garf.

    Aw... I take a day off to play Dissidia and you people beat me to the newbie. *sulks*

    Hello to you, you're a ponce, but you kind of remind me of James May in your apparent refusal to get annoyed, so I guess you're tolerable. You might need some armour though, this place is rough.
