Well met and welcome Dantrag! My name is Sadon Odrydin, a fellow drow. But I come from the city of Ust'Natha.  Please make yourself at home here in the keep. And if ever you need anything, feel free to ask!
(And I wondered why one of the other newbies' post count didn't go up on his second post.... (Validor I think...) but all the same. I think I agree with everyone who talked about this. A welcome post (and a normal post in the forum for that matter) should be voluntary and people shouldn't worry so much about their post count. (that's my continued thinking from a different message board I was on. except that people there had the power to give you a different rank regardless of post count. and they did so by deciding how active (mainly how much you helped people by giving them the items they needed and telling them where to find things) you were...it was a mess. (long story). But yeah, so anyway, I agree with what's already been discussed. Just my 2 cents)). |

Well Met
'Twas purposely not announced, Bookwyrm... to see if any Scribes would notice and see their reactions 
Remember all, its not the number of posts that gives you a high standing of knowledge and respect, its the quality of those very posts that makes you a truely honored scribe amongst others  |

I agree, Artalis. Like I said, it seems unfair to the newbies that they don't get that initial boost, but it's more fair to them (and less talkative non-newbies) that such as we don't get a rise on them. I am a trifle surprised that we weren't informed, but I don't mind.
I just noticed that I haven't ever welcomed Dantrag . . . . likely due to my period of less talkative-ness following Echon's accusations.
*Ahem* Welcome, Dantrag, to the quintessetial Library of the Absent-Minded Scribe, otherwise known as Candlekeep. Ask, and you shall be answered . . . sooner or later . . . |

Actually, I've noticed a little something lately . . . posts in this area no longer seem to count. I noticed some new scribes starting their "I'm Here" threads with zero posts to their names. And I just checked my own as well -- I haven't gotten a rise in posts from welcomes.
Perhaps this is a good thing, no? Now we can get honest welcomes, instead of just padding our accounts. Though it seems unfair to the newcomers . . . .
..and indeed well spotted, Bookwyrm It had been noticed of late that various members had been purposely "boosting" their post counts within this section. As you rightly mentioned Bookwyrm, this way will ensure a more genuine welcome. Apologies if this action has upset anybody.
I am quite glad for the change. I always felt guilty by trotting out my "canned" "Well Met and Welcome" speech and getting a post for basically saying Hi.
The post count in my estimation is to measure the contribution to the forum not merely showing up. |

Hail and Honor,
Welcome to Candlekeep! I noticed that I am the late comer this time. Please sit back and enjoy the tomes and the scribe, but also take the time to join us at the Inn. Again, welcome!
Honor to all,
Avaly Nightstar
PS....I like the fact that welcomes are more sincere now... |

Welcome, Dantrag, to these walls of infinite knowledge.

So many new scribes so little time!

Greetings Dantrag. It seems that the ways of Lolth are losing their appeal in more and more of us everyday. Ellistraee be praised!
Welcome to Candlekeep. You will find knowledge and friendship here, as well as the occasional laugh! If you have any questions, feel free to ask the all knowing scribes here. We are very helpful if asked nicely! |

Welcome to Candlekeep, Dantraq. As the quote below shows, learning is something that can be shared by all regardless of race, politics or any other division.
I hope that your stay here is a pleasant and fruitful one.
