Hey I notice in your info you live in 'SE Illinois'.  I live in Alton, IL, and was curious how close you were.

Out of curiosity of course, I won't stalk you for your l33t scripting pr0w3zz.

Greetings Forum Community,

Most of my friends call me Theo, and I certainly hope those of you here will do just that.  I've been playing UO on and off (haven't we all?) for around 5 years.  I currently reside on the Great Lakes server.  My favorite toon is a fisherman named Amanob.  He's my cash cow.  I have contracts with folks for all my white pearls, green nets, and white chests.   My second favorite toon is a THunter (bard/magery) named Bomana (Amanob backwards, get it?).  He WAS my cash cow way back in the day when lvl 6 chests were rare, and thus the artifacts that dropped in the chest.  I also have a tamer named Tlamer (I used an advanced character token on this one, and BOY did I regret it).  I have a mule toon named HandyMan whom is a legendary tailor, GM carp & tink.  And working him toward legendary smith.  And finally I have a toon named Theo (my first, believe it or not) whom to be honest, I have NO clue what I was trying to accomplish when I rolled him.  He has 90ish stealth and hiding, fencing, archery, anat, healing.. and other odd skills.

I think it's important to note, I'm a forum whore.  The first thing I do every day when I sit at my computer is NOT load up my games and git ta annoying folks.  The first thing I do is catch up on all the forum communities I belong too.  My multi gaming guild forums, my UO guild forums, a few torrent sites I belong too.  (they are all legit, I SWEAR! *crosses fingers behind back*).  I guess what I'm getting at, is I'm no 13 year old kid who wants to leech free scripts to farm gold, and cares nothing about participating in the actual community.  I'm quite the opposite.

On a personal note.  I'm 35 years old.  I have a wife of 8 years, and 5 kids (2 oldest are from a prior marriage).  YEAH I get to use the computer, cuz I keep those kids in CHECK yo!  I'm a General Manager for Taco Bell.  I've been a GM for 12 years.  (yes, I can get you free burritos for l33t wareZ access) <-- that, srsly, is a joke.  I live in the Great State of Illinois (no, I can't get you free corn) in a little town directly across the river from St. Louis, MO called Alton.  Let's see, what else...  I've played a plethora of online games including EQ, EQ2, SWG, WoW, AoC, WAR, and a few others I'm probably forgetting to mention.  UO has brought me back again, and again.  I can't exactly explain WHY, but I think everyone here might have an idea.

At any rate, I'll do my best to be a productive member of the community.  I'll promise not to start any religion/political wars.  I hate people who do that.  I adore my right to think / believe as I wish, and I think it most important to respect the right of everyone else to do the same.  YES, that even includes if they think differently than I do.  INOE, *boggle*

Don't hesitate to ask questions.  I look forward to getting to know many of you!
