Vic's intro post
« on: August 09, 2011, 06:25:32 PM »
My name is Vic and I’m a newbie.  I write fantasy and read sci-fi.  I hopped MMO’s for a long time before settling on Guild Wars.  I’m taking a break from college to fill educational holes myself so I don’t have to pay for remedial classes.  My computer runs fine and I would like to join your community. 
Oh, and my favourite color is green.

I have trouble with some shades of green because I'm color blind.

I'm not a newbie.

Nor am I named Vic.

I do write fantasy, and read sci-fi, however.  So we have that in common.

Mr_Shifty: does that mean you also have trouble with blues or reds?

Min: YEESSSSS!???

Wunderkind: That's on my to-watch list, maybe I'll know what you're talking about after I see it. 

Thanks for the warm welcome you guys.

No problem with blues.  Plenty of problems with reds, apparently.  Though I never knew how severe until I got married.

When I was but a wee tyke, my favourite color was magenta. I probably learned its name and shade thanks to Crayola. Later, when I found myself in a land with no Crayola, and having taken up painting, I attempted to recreate magenta by mixing various likely shades of reds, purples, blues and pinks, which greatly expanded my own definition of magenta.

Then I grew up and came back to the States and found out that magenta stopped being psychedelic in 1972 and became officially gay some time around 1975, so I like green now.

Glad we're all on the same page. 
BTW, thanks pbsaurus, I figured out that was a spoiler pretty fast.

Green is my favourite colour as well, especially olive green.

What do you think of this article:

Interesting.  Because you and I like olive green may I assume neither of us smoke?
