Hello to our newest players

And this is me also. Let me just take off my Maggie costume here, and...

What time is it in NZ now?? (I suppose if I looked at the map I could figure it out.)

( I realised I just missed the opurtunity for a lot of fun naming crazy little Islands instead of countries, which I could have come from. But I chose to name a country.) *sigh*

errr *finds clock* its about 1720 over here.

John Westdale actually began life as a sort of missionary come teacher in SI, so maybe -this- John Westdale will have to be his grandfather.
Lets hope he's a nice guy. There are still a few foibles he's keeping quiet about. :look

Hello there. We have an antipodean in our midst. Long word, very period and very cool!! All being online at once suddenly got rather less likely. This is gonna be fun!

Welcome to Show the Colours - I'm Sharpiefan, the Admin, although currently masquerading as Rifleman Cotton.

What or where is SI? Um... South Island? Or the name of some RPG community? Or... some CSI spinoff?

I'm guessing New Zealand's South Island...

I did think of that (all by myself! I went back and edited my comment! I'm a smart girl I am.) My first thought was that it must be some RPG, and that he had "began life" like so many other OCs here began life in other games. d'oh.

Hello there! Just up to say welcome and that hi, I'm Latin - second banana mod to Sharpie, and irresponsible for such characters as the General, Captain Pastowe and Emily the ship's cat. Should you have any problems and you can't get through to Sharpie, do not hestitate to drop me a PM (on any of my accounts) and I will see what I can do to help.

But other than that; welcome aboard, and I hope you have fun playing here.

Banana mod *snerk*

N' Lieutenant Leat, isn't it?

Aye, hello and welcome from this side as well!

Yes, all the personages listed in the signature of Latin_cat - including my good self.

I can see this might take a little getting used to. No doubt in a couple of days I won't even be thinking about the character changes. (you've made it much easier with all the little tags and stuff you have on your sigs).

which brings me to a point- is there anywhere handy I can get myself a new face? All the old ones I usually use are too LotR for here, I do feel.

LotR! Aiya, nilde!

Just to add to the confusion - I am all of the below, who appear in various threads. And I would like a face for Raoul...

But welcome and join in the fun.

But is Alain Delon not Raoul?

Ah, yes, hello! *waves* I play a lad called Micheal Carty as well, but I'm always Stephen - Carty only comes out of his box for special occasions.

Now if only I could have him as an icon! *Looks pleadingly at those able to do such things*

Are there any suitably moustachioed pictures of him around? Or would have have to be added?

I suspect not - I don't think I've ever seen him with one. I'd forgo the moustache. It is only the merest suggestion of a moustache after all, not moustachio'd moustaches.

Hmmm... Did I show you the very pretty icon I found a while ago? Anyway, if you find a suitable picture, I would be delighted to create icons from it, or several if you want a choice. Pictures or icons, that is. I have such a strong impression of what Raoul looks like now though.

*waves to Mr. Westdale*

Welcome to the board! I think I'm the only person around these days who only plays one character, so you'll only ever see me playing as Bolitho. And since I'm navy and you're army, I'll probably only see you in the Crown, if you choose to visit there...

But I'm glad you're here all the same!

What kind of face are you interested in? (Besides male, obviously...) I like making icons from artwork, especially old paintings. Or what kind of man is Westdale?

Westdale is a beanpole- shoulder length curly brown hair, hazel eyes, cleanshaven (usually), cleanish shirt, necktie and breeches. He needs glasses for close reading at night, but usually forgoes them.

Unfortunately there are no current paintings of Westdale, although this may change if I find the archives. I shall go and look.

Is the ever- loved Tom Kendall. Maybe ye could use him as inspiration? I would be ever gratefull. (and in awe- my own talents are few).

Hee, he's cute. Why not just use that picture as an icon?

I guess it is always easier to ask forgivness than permission.

Ah, it appears Mr. Westdale is in fact on the Terpsy. Well, I suppose I shall be seeing you around a lot then! So, welcome to the crew and disregard what I said before...

What did you say before?
