Hello (Introduction)

[Bixby]

Hello all:

I never saw an introduction section, so I thought I would just post a general "hello". I am pleased to discover this site, my wife an I really enjoy Carcassonne. She gives me a beating in this game quite regularly. I look forward to exploring the site and discovering all it has to offer.

By way of introduction, I am Matt and I live in Regina, Saskatchewan (Canada). If you live in the Canadian Prairies, give me a shout, perhaps a face to face game of Carcassonne would be in order.

Happy gaming...
...Matt (Bixby)
Edit: I thought I would include some information that I posted in the introduction thread on another forum of which I am a member.

I am BixbyCanada on Xbox Live:

Welcome to Carcassonne Central!

Hmm, why didn't we think of this before? Introductions all round, I think
__________
So: I'm also Matt, 34 at time of writing, English, living in Germany for 10 years. Single, no children, not pets—I'd like to have a cat, though. I teach at university at the moment.

No TV, but lots of books, DVDs and CDs. Currently listening to lots of Krautrock and Tangerine Dream in particular. Mac user, poet, explorer, universal soldier and… you guess which are true

Have a tendency to disappear for months at a time.

I guess I'll have to update this again later. :

Too many smilies, for a start.

Welcome Matt.

Good idea!

Hello eveybody.

My name is John, my friends call me Joff. I am in the UK (Cambridgeshire). I am married to Lorraine and have 4 children (a 14 yo boy, 12 yo girl, 3 yo girl and a 1 week old girl, at todays date).

Some of the games I enjoy are Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Zooloretto, Power Grid. I also have Puerto Rico, but as yet have not played it!

Other hobbies are include reading and computing. I am a forklift truck driver but I am currently studying part time Christian Theology.

Although i'm not on the Wii much (my kids don't give me a chance!) my Wii Friend Code is: 3177-6350-5719-6671

[denalin]

Hello, I'm Dan from Fairfax, Virginia (USA; 40 mins from Washington DC).  I'm 18 and a student at Rutgers University (in New Jersey).  I'm heavily into gaming, and recently have experienced a surge in boardgaming in particular.  Carcassonne is my favorite boardgame, and I frequently play it with my friends and family.  I enjoy all forms of media, and love change.

[Tobias]

Well...

Tobias - Swedish. Age 37.

I have a girlfriend (Sara) with whom I live. You can sometimes read stories about when I beat her at C. They are all true! 

There are three cats in the apartement, two are pretty nice but the third does not like people - including us.

This autumn I will teach grammatics (among other things) at the university. Swedish - not english. I do not have a TV, but I tend to read a lot. I mean a lot.

I like beer.

[Novelty]

Goddag Tobias, välkommen til här!

OK, are my grammatics correct? :p

[Gantry]

A thumbs up for Bixby for the great idea for a thread!

I'm Gantry, I'm a tech consultant by trade and an avid motorcyclist currently without a ride.    My wife (Natasha, who rarely drops in here) and I look forward to playing when we can, which isn't very often.  This last year I've been very busy with work as well as going back to college and remodelling our home.  We enjoy hiking the great outdoors in our spare time, and over the last year I've been getting into one of my former hobbies, photography.

[Scott]

Obviously my name is Scott. I'm 24 years old (turning 25 this year).

Other hobbies are include reading and computing. I am a forklift truck driver

Spooky. I also drive forklift and enjoy reading and computing. Computers is what I studied in university; I worked in it for four years but found that working with them all day made me want to avoid them at night. So this year I got a job working in a warehouse where I am working towards becoming warehouse manager.

[Bixby]

Thanks for the warm welcome. After poking around a bit, it is a pleasure to see this is such a welcoming and friendly site. Kudos to the staff.

Congrats Joff. That is awesome, hello new baby - goodbye sleep.

I am inpired by what others have written so I thought I would elaborate on some more of our hobbies. My wife and I Geocache, canoe, mountain bike, camp, hike, play paintball, drink beer, play Texas Hold'em, and many board games. Carcassonne is probably her favourite game and rates high with me. We have two lovely daughters in their early twenties. Life is good in the prairies, (although we are both from the Canadian Maritimes).
