Status : Offline | Welcome, Marteng! So far, so good with your English. I've tried navigating a couple of German sites and found myself getting lost very easily, so I admire you for making the effort. We do have many members here whose first language isn't English, so don't be shy about making mistakes. Some whose first language is English don't do as well.)

Hello, My name is Nefret and I am a lurker?...all this just so I can send a message to SOMEONE who I hope appreciates the fact that I have resigned my lurker status just for her and can no longer number myself among the ranks of the lurkees? perhaps when I am old and grey I will tell my great grand children that I once lurked around with the best of em (whoever em are) :

Status : Online | Hello everyone. I guess I could be considered a lurker as well. For the last year or so I have visited JA to mostly read reviews and get caught up on new game info. However, I have finally discovered the forum section of this site and loved it! I am strictly an adventure gamer as I have never, not even the slightest bit enjoyed a FPS or the like type game so I find I feel quite at home here

Hello Caroline! [smiley=wave.gif] Gosh, that long. It's really nice to see you again! How are you? And what are you playing now?
A lot of the chaps you remember aren't here anymore - probably left because you did.....
[smiley=lol.gif] Guys who left the forum are probably the ones who DIDN'T see my pic (I should do some photoshop magic on it, or post a new one
I've been reading here and there, and noticed very "ex members" tags. Agus, Dom, SirDave, InlandAZ, Andromus, Lucien, Aya, Val, Eva, Alkis, Elfstone are still here, that's great (sorry if I missed someone...). And there are lots of new members [smiley=clap.gif]
I've also read about Anne, it was shocking and sad to know. It must have been hard for all.
Whatchya been upto?
Moving a lot, working here and there, with very little time to read, post or even lurk. Not to mention play! Now that I'm settled again, I'll try to catch up with all these delicious activities.
And, as you can see, my English is still as bad as usual...
BTW, when I re-signed in, a message warned me about some deleted PM's (there's a limit, of course), so I apologize to everyone who wrote and never got an answer (in my defense, I'll argue I never got to read the message).

Last I heard from Dom he was dating and busy touring the country in rep.
Inland and SirDave, Lucien, Andromous, Alkis (now married), Elfstone and Aya are here. Val is forbidden by law from leaving and Eva looks in now and then. Agustin also pokes his head in occasionally.
Others you might remember, Petter, Monkeybone, Friday and MichalN are all gone.
I'm playing at being a university student so my game playing is kind of erratic. Currently lost in Aura 2.

I'm studying for a Batchelor of Arts in Communication: Professional and Creative Writing.
So far it's been fabulous fun hanging out with all sorts of smart and interesting people.
And if you scroll down the page into Off Topic you'll see I've posted some holiday photos of my time in England and Avatar has been off to Africa for a month and posted her photos. Plenty to look at.

I'm Jelena, a 42 y/o adventure gamer from Sweden. I've been a member at Adventure Gamers for a couple of years now and thought I'd check this forum out as well.
I love all kinds of adventure games: scary ones as well as games with a Noir-theme.
I also love to read and watch Star Trek episodes. No wonder my family thinks I'm a geek.
