Welcome to Daeke

[nhamlett]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce the newest member of my team - David "Daeke" Bass. He will be managing the forums for the interim for me. Please welcome him and show him the same kind of respect and generosity of spirit that you have shown me. :)

Ps. No he's not replacing me. *grin* I know you guys worry about that sort of thing.

[Manx]

Hello Daeke; hope we don't stress you out too much ;)

[OddjobXL]

A little stress builds character, I say. Welcome aboard, Daeke!

[Hagon]

No one can replace Awen.

Welcome to the madhouse Daeke. Good to have you aboard.

[knightofhyrule730]

Heya Daeke, enjoy your stay.

Can you start off on a great foot with some screenshots? O:-)

[whatinblueblazes]

Welcome, Daeke! Glad to have you as part of the community.

I hope you're familiar with the Home Alone films. ;)

[phifur]

Hello and welcome :)

[Davies82]

Welcome to the forums Daeke.

Not to sound too nerdy, Daeke will be like Awen's First Officer or "Number One" here on the forum.

2009 is flying by so fast.
Hope you wont be away from the forums to long Awen.

But i wish the new person all the best for the 'interim' period.

Hi everyone!

I'm very excited to have joined the Cryptic team. You all are definitely a great bunch of people, and I can't wait to get to know you all as we explore the universe together. Or something like that.

Anyways, here's a screenshot for you:

Oh, wait. It won't upload for some reason. Oh well :P

[Rgoodfel]

Welcome to the fourms David "Daeke" Bass.

I forgot to ask do you have a Twitter account to follow Dakeke?

I do! It's currently "Daeke"! Simple enough, right?

Well, Craig did mention something about Gorn screenshots that should be up....would be a great way to win over the few Gorns that are here. :p

I do! It's currently "Daeke"! Simple enough, right?

Not finding it, but then again, I am not very good with Twitter.

Now I'm expecting a thread in the main section soon, followed shortly thereafter with a thread on mmorpg.com, about how Cryptic broke their promise about a screenshot, and how that is a bad omen for the game when it's released. :p;):D

[dbass]

I certainly hope so. I've heard she makes the best cookies on the West Coast.

Oh noes.

Haha. Well, my alternative plan was to Rickroll y'all, but I thought that might have made a bad first impression, so I went with "false information" instead, which is always much funnier. To me, at least.

[DracoPalin]

My humblest and most heartfelt welcome oh second bannana.

[D-ghor]

Welcome Daeke, hope you stored up enough Tylonal...I'm sure Awen has a stash dealing with all of us "nut cases".


No offense to the other players...its just..You all are crazy...I'm the only normal person on here.. :D

[Sjet]

Witty humor makes me feel all tingly and happy.

Welcome Daeke!

[nhamlett]

Guys, :) I'm not going on vacation. I just got promoted so I have a ton more work and Daeke is helping me make sure that you guys get all of the attention that you deserve.

All is well. You just get extra special love now. :)

Congratulations on your promotion Awen; you deserve it after putting up with us these past months :D

[D-ghor]

Awen got promoted for placing such a GREAT April Fools on us....For a moment I was cursing my roommate cause Cryptic went to the kids.......then I said...that doesn't make sense...what day is this???

Evil Evil person Awen is...I wonder how evil Daeke is going to be??

[pyriel32]

Howdy and welcome.

And now we get Awen love and the extra special Daeke love?! We'll try not to let that go to our heads. ;)

[SirReginaldo]

Well its nice to see new peeps;) I am glad that a sense of humor is your forte:) I will be quite interested in reading more of these "jokes" in the future.

[Loekii]

All is well. You just get extra special love now. :)

Gratz on the promotion Awen - it is well deserved. BTW what is your new position - still with STO I imagine, your not jumping ship for the OTHER leotard wearing heroes are you?

You heard it here first. My love is extra special.

[Insert Awkward silence here]

Can we return that where applicable? :p

[Ozymandias]

Congrats on the promotion Awen!

"Jolan'tru, aefvadh!" Greetings, and welcome Daeke!

[Varrangian]

Daeke... speaking of extra special love... can we get a new Ask Cryptic?

[Arsinoe]

Jokes WOOT :D

The world needs more humor! :)

[Ensign.Ricky]

Welcome Daeke!

*cups hands*
Now to flurry your inbox with Beta and forum moderation requests muahahah....

...jk



I wonder if all those folks on the Awen fan club are gonna jump to the "Daeke" fan club now. O.o

[Voyager24]

Welcome Daeke, glad to have you aboard can't wait to see you around the fourms. Also congrats Awen on the promotion you deserve it, except all the extra work they gave you. lol

[wingnutf22]

Welcome Daeke, hope you stored up enough Tylonal...I'm sure Awen has a stash dealing with all of us "nut cases".


No offense to the other players...its just..You all are crazy...I'm the only normal person on here.. :D

I accept your compliment.

That should show you what you are in for.

[Trekkie]

Welcome to the community, Daeke! It is always nice to see new faces around here. And congratulations on the promotion, Awen -- it is well-deserved, I am certain!

[CherryTerri]

Welcome Daeke!

I am CherryTerri ... ST:O's resident fluffy Gorn. I promise only occasional munchings, though I cannot guarantee keeping my cute baby Gorn army at bay. They're wicked with those squirt guns!

Sadly I can't take you seriously until you get yourself a message board icon :p

[D-ghor]

I accept your compliment.

That should show you what you are in for.

I'm not worried, I'm going through Klingon Boot Camp... (ie.. I'm married to a tough woman)

[Tamgros]

Wow, somehow I totally missed that we had a newbie working the forums. Is this STO preparing for an influx of new people to the forums? Big announcement coming soon? Yes? Yes? *pauses awkwardly hoping this induces a response*

Haha, just playing, glad to see we are in good hands.

[PaperBackHero]

Welcome Daeke, just keep your latinum locked down and all should go well.

Puts the pitchfork and torch away. :D

Welcome to the boards Daeke.

[cv_coco]

Always nice to get a new colleague with a fresh look on things, the rest of the team should be pleased.

Welcome aboard!

[jbarker82]

Many congratulations to Awen for her promotion! What do you do now Awen?

A great big warm welcome to Daeke from the Unknown :) .... When are you going to get your forum avatar Daeke?

If Awen is Top Banana and Daeke is Second Banana ..... can I be third Banana? :D

[dbass]

Forum avatars take a lot of time and thought to use. I need to find one that wholly describes who I am and what I stand for in life. You can't just throw up any old image and say "Hey, look, here's my avatar".

Or it could be that I'm too lazy to find a good image. If anyone has recommendations, I'm open.

.

Nah, I'm just here to keep Awen from going crazy. She likes to refer to me as "her little minion". But you can feel free to take my appearance as you will :)

[OddjobXL]

I did!

But if I can get an artist to do my Oddjob as Starfleet Officer makeover (it's kinda like a contest but with no prizes) then you can have this one. I imagine you'll be making this face quite often as you read the forums!

Oddjob image here for "contest" participants:

Here's just a quickie Oddjob-as-Starfleet-Officer. (http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/longshotsky/?action=view&current=oddjob2.gif)

Of course, if you have a different uniform you'd prefer, I could give that a shot later on.

[OddjobXL]

You win!

Hey, Daeke. You can have my goofy Kirk avatar now!

Thanks, Whatinblueblazes! And might I add that's a mighty fine forum name.

First of welcome to the forums,

I'm sure someone at Cryptic can come up with a cool avatar for you.
I'm impressed on your early posting, usually we don't see any dev posts til much later in the day

[whatinblueblazes]

Glad you like it, OddjobXL! My forum name may not be in honor of the most devious hat-chucking Bond villain ever, but I think it works. ;)

I second the motion that Daeke takes up the goofy-Kirk-as-avatar mantle bequeathed by OddjobXL. It works for a community administrator on so many levels -- in command, wanting to strangle himself (or others) at times...

[Kestrel]

That's 'cause we like to sleep sometimes :)

It's only 8:30 a.m. on the West Coast. I haven't even had my first cup of tea yet.

Welcome Daeke!

I think it (http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x162/OddjobXL/images-1.jpg) fits well too. But I could be biased...

I can recommend the one I'm using.

The application can be found at the end of the link in my sig. ;) I'm sure we can get it processed asap.

[masoniclight]

Hi everyone!

I'm very excited to have joined the Cryptic team. You all are definitely a great bunch of people, and I can't wait to get to know you all as we explore the universe together. Or something like that.

Anyways, here's a screenshot for you:

Oh, wait. It won't upload for some reason. Oh well :P

Welcome Daeke to our side of the universe and may your travels be relatively smooth :D

[dbass]

The secret is to be on the East Coast. It gives you a nice headstart in the morning. Though that's only temporary, I'll be out in California soon enough. So enjoy it while you can :)

Make sure you innoculate yourself for the cost of living shock. Not to mention just in time for the Sales Tax Increase. :eek:

[dbass]

Yeah, I just found out about sales tax on the west coast yesterday. Here we've got 7%...the jump to 9.25% is going to be pretty big. Gotta buy as much as possible in New Jersey now!

I know this sounds kind of crazy, but since your posting on the forum, maybe you could actually reply in of the threads about STAR TREK ONLINE and answer any one of the many questions the community has :p

[Drunk1n]

Only 9.25% - In BC, Canada I'm sitting at a recently lowered to 13% (came down from 15%). That isn't including my income tax of approximately 40%

Hmm... California here I come!

Until you see the cost of healthcare. :eek: My wife had an non-surgical overnight stay at the hospital which cost about $25k.

[treknerd]

Were i am in cali its 8.75% So it shouldn't be much hire as i live close to bay area...

Welcome to the world Daeke. Keep a level head and stick to your instincts.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce the newest member of my team - David "Daeke" Bass. He will be managing the forums for the interim for me. Please welcome him and show him the same kind of respect and generosity of spirit that you have shown me. :)

Ps. No he's not replacing me. *grin* I know you guys worry about that sort of thing.

Awen! Replace you. Never gave ti a though.But from the way that you described "David " it came across more of, well that you had gotten your self a "Girl Friday" .:D

[PaperBackHero]

Yeah, I just found out about sales tax on the west coast yesterday. Here we've got 7%...the jump to 9.25% is going to be pretty big. Gotta buy as much as possible in New Jersey now!

That was not to bad of a jump. I know people who moved to a place where the sales tax is over 10%. Use to live in a place where there was no sales tax.

[Sherp]

Welcome, Daeke! Nice to meet you. I trust you've taken the required monkey-wrestling (http://machall.com/view.php?date=2001-12-28) training prereq?

[Powerhelm]

I live in chicago...10.25...try that on for size! My wife and I only buy big ticket items when we visit her family in Ohio :p

[RemyBlack]

Welcome Sir Drake,
May your stay be plesant, the work weeks short and the weekends long. Congrats to you and Awen on the jobs. BTW I am so jelous that you two get to play the Alfa "and" get paid for it. I'm willing to do it for free. :) Happy gaming :)

[Levry]

Welcome and may god have mercy on your soul...... :)

[ronaldheld]

That quote is highly appropriate.
