CB First Impressions...

So, before you started posting on the CB, what did you think about it, or some of the concepts you didn't understand? Did you have thoughts about it that are hilarious now? 

For example, when I first peeked through the windows of the CB mansion, I wondered:

"Why does someone named 'Top!' go around and comment on every post?"

And,

"What kind of a game is AE Ball?"

Hehe. Eh. Anyone else? Admins?

AEs and CAPTCHAs were confusing, but they were pretty easy to figure out. 

RPs took longer, and I still haven't really participated in any. I really need to...

I started on CS and I spent a good amount of time there, I think, then I migrated to Inkwell where I created a Percy Jackson RP, and made my charicter a daughter of Athena with brown hair and green eyes. On my very first post, I gave my real name, age and location, without realizing it. I think I've grown a little tiny bit since then.

I didn't know what a top was, either, and I was so confused when someone topped my first thread. I thought it was a sign of approval or something, like, if you liked a thread you'd top it. XDXD

Ha! Me too. When I joined I was like, who's this person posting "top!" everywhere? Isn't that annoying?

Still not quite sure about ski lodges...

Ski Lodges are where you join (AEs and CAPTCHAs can come too), and the CBer running the ski lodge, who is usually under a pseudonym, posts about once a week about a day that the CBers spend at the ski lodge. One or two CBers are murdered every day, and either one person discovers the murderer, or everyone but the murderer is killed.

P.S: The murderer does not know who they are.

P.P.S: If you still don't understand, find and read one. The vacation area doesn't have to be a ski lodge, though.

Yes, I used to think “Top” was a person who just read everything and said “top” a bunch of times for whatever reason. XD And I didn’t really know what AE’s were, either.

When I first joined, I was also super-confused about topping! I kept telling my mom, "There's this really weird person who just goes around and says 'TOP' to everything!" For a while I thought Top was a CBer who had mental problems! Tongue out Apologies to anyone who tops posts! That was probably really offensive!

I personalize mine. Most people did, a while ago. Once there was even a top SI, where you posted under your topping name....not surprisingly, I was guessed right away.

TOP!

Well...

I had it in my head that there was this little pixie named Top who... well, popped in and screamed top. I had pictured this little pixie person as some sort of fluffy woodland critter that chirped "TOP!" in a high, adorable voice.

Once I found out what it actually was, I was slightly dissapointed... XD

I have like... no idea what else but either way my impressions have changed quite a bit since I got back on with this new alias of Pooki P.
