Hi all

I am whoosh42, a happy new member of the Vizzed community!
Before i start explaining myself it's important to know that i live in Belgium.
Therefore my English is far from perfect. (<3 spell check function!)
But i will give this community the best i've got and learn a bit more on the way.

I was born in the 90' and grew up with virtual friends like Mario, Link, Pokémon, ...
My grandmother was a great addict to gaming and thought me all about it!
I can call myself an absolute expert on Super Mario bros 3 thanks to her!

Since the 90' i kept growing and started playing all the new online games like Call of Duty, World of warcraft, Diablo, Minecraft, ...
When i got around 14 i learned about Teamspeak and formed a good friendship with a lot of people around the world.
Now, many years later, a good friend from teamspeak, Mysticsoul, referred me to this site.
When i saw all the great legendary games from the past on this site, i was instantly sold!

So that's a little bit more about me.
I am very excited to start knowing you all a bit better!
But for now i will end my story with, Game on!

WElcome to Vizzed! This is a great site, that you should love! I like how you are a fan of some goos gmaes!  I love Mario, LOZ and Pokemon too! Have a great time here@

whoosh42 : Greetings there new user of Vizzed and welcome., I'm IgorBird122, and I can say, I really like the name, but anyways, I hope you find this site very fun and interesting.

whoosh42 : Hi, Welcome to Vizzed! I'm Emoteen134!

Well, your English is about perfect, although I saw some mistakes, but I got the point. TeamSpeak? What is that? I've never heard of that before. Please do explain. Not on here though, please PM me. And I love Pokémon Too, if you have any questions, Please PM me. My only expertise is in GEN 1-3. Anything above that is unknown to me for the sake of me feeling like it was getting too crazy.

Also, Since you are a Newbie, I feel the need to let you know to FOLLOW THE RULES. Not scolding you, just letting you know that a lot of newbies (we all where one at one time, and yes, I had some scoldings myself) don't follow the rule. The rules are HERE. Have any questions? Contact a Mod.

Enjoy the games, post a lot and have fun.

Emoteen134

after the next 6 posts you can edit your profile and make layouts! hope you have fun in the forums and game rooms

Welcome whoosh42, looking forward to reading your posts and maybe competing for a high score on SMB 3 with you.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

@Emoteen: Thank you for pointing me in the direction of the rules! I am a huge supporter of a strong rulebook to keep the community clean and fun for everyone. If i do indeed make a mistake in the future, i will take the necessary actions to undo my wrongs.
Side note, it took me about 30 minutes of spell checking with Google, the website and myself before i posted this topic!

@fightorrace: i am always up for a challenge!

@Mecha Leo: Thank you for the good advice! I can't wait to personalize my profile! Already checked out some cool layouts!

Wow... as someone from Belgium, your English is actually wonderful!   You even used some words that could be considered slang... haha.

I'm surprised your grandmother was a game addict.  O.o  Most older people I know can hardly even use a computer.  It must have been fun to visit her house. XD

Also, I am absolutely in love with your username.    What made you pick it, if you don't mind me asking?

What games have you been enjoying the most since coming to vizzed?    If you'd like to learn to use the forums, try checking this page.  Hopefully the language barrier won't be too much for you, because there are lots of chances for prizes.  ^.^  

I hope we see you around some more, and if you ever have any questions, don't be afraid to ask the staff. They're totally awesome.  

Have a beautiful night, and God bless!

Thank you for that nice compliment! I learned a lot from years of gaming and watching a lot of television. That could explain some slang

My grandmother was a real computer fanatic. She used to play for hours in the night on the computer or NES. She was the first with a cool nickname in the family : Lia the Cyberwitch! I still miss her every day!

My current nickname was an on-the-moment kind a thing. My previous nickname was really childish (Hamsterke42) and with becoming older it was in a dire need for some change. The adding of my lucky number 42, made the name whoosh42 complete.

Since I joined Vizzed I mostly played the old school games like Mario 64, Super Mario all stars, Link, ...

Singelli : I've read your post and I really like your approach to new members of this community!

Thanks for the help, I hope to hear from you again!

Greetings

Woohoo! You have successfully summoned someone... Great job! 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? 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 me back!

Singelli : I have posted around 7 posts after you gave me the assignment. 5 are in random places like (series, health, anime, ...). But also 2 posts are in the Vizzed Market. I think that this is sufficient for completing your task. .

Thank you for participating yesterday... here's 200 viz! You're probably well on your way to becoming a member now, but there's still time to celebrate your newb-iness! Thanks for posting in all those areas and letting us learn a little bit about who you are. We'd like to know you a little better, so today's task is pretty simple.

Remember that layout we sent you? Well, we're going to show you how to apply it, and we're also going to give you a little badge as a reward for completing the last task. This wonderful badge was created by Juliet, one of your local mods! You won't be able to apply the badge until you reach member rank, so don't delete the pm which contains the link!

(Side note:  I see you already placed a layout, but I'm going to go ahead and stick with the script.    Also, I'm not sure if Juliet is still making the badges, although I'm sure she will.  I'm just not guaranteeing it, since we started this project months ago and I had to leave for awhile.   )

Today you have two tasks.

1. Let's place your layout. (Completed) Layouts are the decorations that show up behind your text whenever you post. You can buy these, order custom layouts from shop owners, or create one yourself. However, we'll talk about that a little later. For now, we just want you to equip the one we already gave you. Go back to that link in the upper left that says "Edit Profile & Settings". When you click on that and scroll down a little, you should see a green link in the middle of the page that says "Edit layout". This is where you can access your layouts, buy layouts, make layouts, send layouts to other people..... it's basically the layout central station.

You should see the layout we already sent you if you scroll down. Click the word "Use", and you're done! Leave the layout equipped long enough for us to see it, and come summon us again to show off your new colors!

2. The second task is simple. We enjoyed seeing what you had to say, and we'd love to read more! Find two DIFFERENT forum areas to post in today. Remember that in order for this to count, you can't post in whatever areas that you did yesterday!

Hi I'm new to this site I hope I have fun here.
