The Welcome Wagon

It started with JK and his inimitable "Welcome to Eplaya", now we seem to have half a dozen welcomers, Bob Bitchin', Samantha...
Probably an improvement, as it at least doesn't leave the newbies with a quite as intense hanging in the wind feeling.

We are aspiring Greeters

Someday, JK will eventually blow his wad, and on-hand replacements will be needed.

And the poor newbie that it catches will be blown out of eplaya, past tribe.net, beyond facebook, to kingdomcum.com.

I'm not complaining, just commenting. I think it's probably a "good thing" although there are times when I'm running through the new posts in the Introductions forum and it's the same over and over. So, I can take a little boredom, if it means that someone's getting some friendliness.

True enough, but then it is kind of a hazing process to thin out the curiosity seekers.

I must say, I was welcomed to this place wonderfully! I didn't get the snark at first, hurt my oh so tender feelings. Now that Now that my old hide has thickened, nothing bothers me.

I haven't even been to a burn but I feel like I already know most yooz guyz! and that's comforting.

If you happily greet and welcome the newcomers, you're just going to encourage them.

But isn't that the whole point?

Others might call it bait and switch

Beat them into submission right off the bat I say. Other times I feel more compassionate and answer their questions.

Most of the time I beat them.

That's what JK is doing also...well, he's beating something, that is.

You have it entirely wrong - JK is not "Pounding it" as it appears, just as I am clearly scratching my nose, so I can see where the confusion arises.

JK is obviously shaking martinis in a mixer, but from this angle you cant see it.

hope this helps.

Why does jk say "Pounding it" and not "Shaking Martinis" instead then?

A martini would be nice right about now.
