Hello everyone!

I just joined the PXC crowd last week... got some packs on the way, itching to get them solved and am reading up on the story so far...

I'm in Vermont (US) right now and I'll be in Colorado in the summer... however I have little hope of finding anyone near me into PXC. Alas that is what the internet is for!

Just saying hi, hope you're all having a good day.

Holy Bananas, Batgirl!

Welcome.

[batgirl]

Lol thanks Duckiemonster.

Do you know how I load up an image to go under my name on this forum?? (In case anyone doesn't know what batgirl looks like of course!)

It's easy - you need to go and edit your profile, and use the avatar control panel at the end of the page. Make sure your avatar isn't too big - it was politely mentioned to me that my old one was bigger than allowed!

[batgirl]

It only gives the option of linking to a url though... The pic I want to use is stored on my computer - can we not use stored images....?

[myf]

Don't think so. A quick search will find various free image/avatar hosting sites that you can upload it to and then link to that.

Hey Batgirl

I use imageshack for hosting mine, it free and easy to use

Wanted to drop by and say hi--I've been a lurker for a few weeks as I've been buying up packs like mad and stretching little sections of my brain like never before--I wish I could get some of that Ceretin (or maybe not, as I'm learning too...)

Anyway, my only regret is that I'm discovering cards six months or more after you guys have already stopped talking about them & collaborating on solutions...maybe I can get in on some discussions about wave 3 cards while I can still be a part of that fun.

Just realised that with getting so caught up in the story of late, I'd neglected to introduce myself.

I'm Lindsay, which in my case is a boy's name (shush there!), I live and work in London and have been playing PXC for a few months, initially concentrating on the cards, then slowly being drawn into the ongoing narrative.

Nice community you've got here - and thanks for tolerating Yet Another N00b and not smacking me with the business end of a trout.

N.B. By the way, only slightly related, but Anton Bogaty (you've all seen the "ACB3" signatures tucked away on some of your cards, right?) is now selling a collection of his work in that quaint, old-fashioned book format here - his is the one with the large robot carrying the woman on the front - blurb says:-

mcboyt - welcome indeed. I was, like you, a noob a few months ago but if you keep checking these boards and do some background research (the wiki is excellent) you'll be up and running in no time. I know what you mean about the cards and feeling slightly out of it (I joined when waves 1&2 were pretty much done and dusted), but there are currently still 5 unsolved (though 3 of them seem pretty impenetrable to me). Whilst solving the reds and greens etc, have a go at Earth's Destiny and Mother Tongue (you don't need the cards, just look at the threads) and make your name! Wave 4 still to come too so it'll all be on an equal footing then!

Tintintin - likewise, and I've seen you've made some great posts on the forum already so keep up the good work and thanks for the intro!

They do need to be published, at which point they'll use the photo that you supplied to..."Perplexinate" you, and your brand new shiny avatar gets put in the Sentinel next to your article.
