Hello my name is Izaya Alaera. Well that is not really my name but for all intents and purposes I am. I suppose I can get away with that considering I made the name up for a character in an old role play I was in.. if not, oh well. I have been playing games as far back as I can remember. I have used many different systems like Atari, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 1-3, GameCube, Box 360, and Wii.

 The kind of games I like: any of The Legend of Zelda, a toss up between Pokemon Crystal or Magi-Nation for the Game Boy Color, I am a pretty big Final Fantasy fan but have not found a Final Fantasy game I enjoy more than Final Fantasy 7. On the PlayStation other than Final Fantasy my all time favorite game was a game called The Legend of Dragoon which like the older Final Fantasy series was a turn based RPG. Other game series I enjoy are Resident Evil, I try to get every one of the games I can find, Soul Caliber, Midnight Club, The Elder Scrolls. I was pretty into the Legacy of Kain 1 and 2 on the PlayStation 1 and GameCube.

 I also like games where you have to defend against invading hordes of enemies, be it undead or living on pc or any gaming system that has those kind of games. I was not hooked on pc gaming to much until I found Runescape one day when I was younger and ended up finding out some of my friends also played. That opened up my online gaming addiction to the point I do not normally play console games anymore and ultimately lead me to this site via a friend telling me about it. Other pc games types I enjoy are things like Minecraft or Dead Frontier. I never got sucked into the whole World of Warcraft group but that is mostly because of multiple failed installations after purchasing the game brand new along with a membership card.

 I am very glad my friend told me about this website because it has all sorts of games I never thought I would be able to play again such as Magi-Nation and The Legend of Zelda games Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. It also gives me a chance to play The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask which I very vaguely remember from my childhood while hanging out with my older cousins. I am looking forward to being able to play that as I have heard it is a very good game and I was to young to remember it in great detail. Well that's all I have to say and I have rambled on for way to long. I do not normally like to write so much and it has taken me several months to get around to writing this introduction so at least I can be satisfied knowing that I did indeed finish this.

 If you made it this far: Congratulations! You win! Unfortunately this is the Internet so all I can offer you is this imaginary cookie. Those are still acceptable right?

Wow!  This is a really, really nice intro!  I feel like I know you already!

So you role play, huh?  I too am an avid fan of the past time.  Where do you like to role play and what kinds of things do you like to role play?  (well, just in case it's necessary, remember that this is a family friendly site before answering that. xD)

It seems like you are interested in TONS of games and game genres.  I've never seen such a detailed list... especially in a newbie post!  I think I've only played a few of the games you mentioned, including Minecraft and uh.... Pokemon.  haha  (And Zelda, but that was a long, long time ago)

Which friend on vizzed told you about the site? You've got to give them some kudos, you know!

I was going to ask you what I won but... well a cookie will do.  Peanut butter, I hope?

Welcome to vizzed, and it's always awesome to have people stop by and say hello, even if it takes them awhile to do so.  It took me 58 days to become active on the board, and now it's the main reason I come here.  If you ever need help or feel confused, don't be afraid to contact staff and seek help.  They're awesome!

Happy gaming, and God bless!

Also, try reading this page.  

 I have done a bit of role play in the last two or three years. Mostly things involving fights though, anything from standard hand to hand up to various powers similar to those that appear in games, movies, anime, etc. I have been in some where I have worked a genetics lab, been second in command of a "squad" in a larger role playing group that had thirteen divisions, and ran a small "settlement" of many different races depending on what people choose to be. Ended up not getting to many people joining though so those were all short lived.. even the ones that had more people could some times die out for a month or more.

 My role play style, as far as typing "spoken words" is no different then how I am writing now. I do not tend to use quotation marks to separate speech from actions. I mostly use a hyphen or an asterisk to mark where each action begins and ends. I know some people do not like when people use those to mark the actions and prefer people to do a post in role play like you might read out of a book, and I CAN write like that, but mostly I cannot be asked to take the time to do that, which is perfectly accept able around my own group of friends. I normally do only a few detailed sentences when I role play, but I try to match other people's post length or amount of detail during fights and other things that require a bit more fleshing out in the posts.

 I am interested in a very broad range of games. I have my parents and cousins to thank for that really, they got me started on them pretty young. The Resident Evil addiction really started out as my Father's addiction and I used to watch him play them, used to make him laugh because it used to scare me every time within five minutes or so. It became a bit of a nostalgic game for me after my parents separated and eventually lead to it being my favorite gaming series of all. I could give a few other stores as to why I like various types of games but that would get a bit tedious.

 Unfortunately I do not know the user name my friend had on here. It never came up really. We just talking one day about different games we had been playing and he mentioned this site and said it might have some of the older Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance games i was disappointed I could not play anymore. Magi-Nation being the main one I wanted to play again. I also found out that Vizzed  had Resident Evil Gaiden which my friend used to own and told me about but I never got to play so I finally got the chance to see what that game was all about as well.

 A peanut butter cookie should not be to unreasonable of an imaginary cookie to give. Just as soon as I remember where I have hidden the imaginary cookie stash you may have your cookie.

Hey, since we talked in pm, I just wanted to let you know that you don't have any summons in the post above.  I'm posting here so that you can try again.  

I'll respond to that awesome post when you do.

Also I think I am done on this thread so I am going to stop posting on it for today at least. Unless someone asks a question I have yet to answer.
Singelli :

Woohoo!  You have successfully summoned someone... Great job!  (Well, I was summoned before you edited your post, anyways. hehe) This is probably one of the most useful things you can utilize on vizzed, so don't be shy!  I'm also going to send you 500 Viz for participating in the seven days of celebration.  

So what is Viz useful for?  Well, Viz (the site's currency) is used to play games, buy layouts, or purchase things from other users. Every time you play a game, it costs Viz.  Its cost depends on its size; smaller games might cost 10 viz, while other games might cost 1,000 or more viz! You only have to pay for a game the first time you play it though.  After that, you 'own' the game and get to play it for free.

You can even buy items from the item shop, located here.  The site items allow you to save Viz in the long run.  For example, if you buy the GBA item, you will be able to play all GBA games for free.  If you buy the netplay item, this allows you to play co-op games with your friends.

The other items in the shop (weapons and armor, for example) are for a future aspect of the site that isn't created yet. Our wonderful owner, Davideo7, plans on implementing a battle arena where you can battle other site users.  However, this feature is not yet developed, so buying such items will have no effect right now, other than to increase your battle stats and make your profile look pretty cool.  

So if you're here to play games, you probably want to learn how to get viz, right?  Well, there are TONS of ways to win bling bling, so that's what your next task is going to be all about.  If you haven't noticed yet, you get 100 Viz every day just for logging in, but we're going to show you a few more ways to earn.  This task has two parts you must complete:

1. Try checking out the vizzed market, here.  In this forum area, other users sell things, buy things, and host contests for newbies like you to try and earn Viz.  Find two threads where you can earn viz, and post in them!  Not only will you get a chance at winning more viz, but you'll also be halfway through with this task!

2.  For every quality post you make, you earn Viz.  We don't want people spamming our board or cluttering it up, so you actually lose Viz if your posts are really short. Plus, if you post off topic, repeatedly make posts of 25 words or less, or post nonsense just to post.... you can be temporarily banned.   Yikes!  We don't want that to happen!

Go find FIVE threads in different sections of the forum and post in them.  Vizzed is a well-rounded community, and we have areas for just about any topic. If you like to debate try this forum, or if you're interested in health try this forum.  If you scroll all the way down, you can even see 'rented' forums where users paid Viz for a special topic.  Interested in Sonic games?  Try this area.  Christianity?  Try here!

Make five posts in five different areas, and then come let us know that you've accomplished both tasks!  Don't forget to summon one or both of us!

As for your post... I too have been role playing for about 3 years!  Though I'm not very good at rp'ing fights, honestly.  What got you into it?  I was a part of a site geared towards long term for my whole three years, but I was banned from that site and found vizzed.  And I totally, totally fell in love.  

Most of the time, where I used to role play, people would separate speech from their actions with asterisks, but I've also done forum role play in which proper grammar was the route to go.  Unlike you thought, I like to give long, detailed posts..... which makes it a little difficult to find rp partners, as I'm sure you've found.

As for the cookies...get looking! haha!
