What a blast from the past.
I was cruising around the Internet very late (early?) and came across Legends Station once again. I can't believe it has been 7 years since my last post here.
I figured I'd reintroduce myself since it has been so long!
Hi, I'm Michelle or Shelldragon and I've been a fan of the Megaman Legends series for a very long time and at some point became a member of the old Legends Station site and of course this "new" one. 7 years has faded my memory of what it is I used to do here but I remember something about artwork and being lightly involved in helping out with the site.
I believe my old user name used to involve Teasel Fan Girly or something to that nature. You can probably guess my favorite character.
I was in college when I first joined the fan community and I am now, arguably, an adult with a "real" job. As it turns out, I became a game developer. I have my BA in Fine Arts and became a game tester to get my foot in the door. Five years later, I'm finally living my dream as an artist making games. We, Ska Studios, show at PAX and PAX East every year so let me know if you ever visit these shows!
So, hello again everyone! Who is still here from the good ol' days?
;D

Ska Studios? You guys made The Dishwasher, right? Man, I loved those games! I'm not really from the "good 'ol days". Hell, I'm probably more inclined to be from the "bleak 'ol present", but hey, beggars can't be choosers. Anyways. Welcome back! I believe my old user name used to involve Teasel Fan Girly or something to that nature. You can probably guess my favorite character. Tea...sel? No, it doesn't ring a bell. Unless you mean this SOB, in which case, I hate you.  |

Y-- You again! I mean...hi. Welcome back. I was worried for a moment that you'd be all up in my grill for stealing Teisel for myself the moment it looked like you weren't coming back.  Seven years ago...that was 2005. That was waaaaaay before I actually started getting people to use my voice in things. I don't even think I'd taken over MMLS yet. By the way, I took over MMLS and made some Youtube videos. It's a pretty decent place to learn about the giant Legends 3 fiasco that killed a lot of things. I guess I'll make more when I get ideas. It's hard because I stopped liking video games somewhere between 2005 and now. That grimdark stuff on the market these days just isn't catching my interest at all. I'm really just into musicals and Mega Man Legends, but for whatever reason the musical theater people don't seem as attracted to them as the gamers. I'm also required to write "I will not totally rearrange MMLS to be about Broadway" on a blackboard in the staff lounge 100 times a day, but these guys don't know about that. Maybe I shouldn't have written that down...? We got badges too, but it looks like you haven't earned any. If you make 278 posts or stick around for Secret Santa, then you'll get one instantly. Did I mention we do a Secret Santa now? It's pretty swell. And the Caption Contest had a pseudo sequel that, for some reason, I still can't find on the main site. fAB and Blyka are making something epic too, involving Tuttle. If one of those guys drops in then they can tell you more about that. Anyway, good to hear from you again. You can take Teisel back if you'd like, too. |

It may not be able to found with any conventional link on the main site, but the site map at the top left corner of both the forum and main site itself can come in handy, hence...Oh wait.  Howdy there, Shelldragon! You don't know me, and I don't know you. But that register date tells me that you've got some history here. Usually whenever I see someone with a date like that, it makes me wish I was around back then.  Good news for you though! Since you've already registered, you get to take the backdoor and not have to handle a single bit of paperwork! Dashe still owns your soul though, since all currently existing members at the time had their souls transferred after the crown was placed. Hope to see you become a regular once again! We need more.  |

Man, someone from the original cast of ecclectic characters! Before all the recent drama and awful members, when there was earlier drama and other awful members! Ones that liked doll clubs and such! This doesn't happen too often... Well, welcome back, Shelldragon! You have the privilege of being one of the few who are grandfathered under old, arcane rules, where avatars are only 100x100, dusty old chocolate chip cookie collections are a status symbol, you must absolutely know the power of white bread and how to breakdance on downtown, and you aren't allowed to use the Elysium symbol for any reason whatsoever, lest someone confuse you with admin! Good news for you though! Since you've already registered, you get to take the backdoor and not have to handle a single bit of paperwork! Dashe still owns your soul though, since all currently existing members at the time had their souls transferred after the crown was placed. Even better, there's no soul collection for the old cast because they predate this by far. If, for some perverse reason, your soul HAS been taken from you, we will gladly return it. Senority has its perks! You do, however, get a free pickaxe to go work off the last 7 years of unpaid dues (locked at 2004 rates, of course, so it's only a few weeks work at current wages) in the long-decommissioned refractor mines, again because of senority and grandfathering. Have fun! hence. hence. hence. hence... |

PPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFPPPPPHHHHHBBBBTTTTT!!!!!!
Oh great, now there's cherry coke all over my laptop. What do you mean there is no soul collection for the old cast?! I could make SERIOUS zenny off of the soul of any members predating my own regime! Serious. Zenny.
Know what that means? That means if I sell Shell's soul on the black market we can finally get that new set of staff lounge toilets with the heated seats AND give the regular members real toilets that actually flush!
Then again, if 2003-2004 souls are fair game then as soon as I retire, everyone'll probably jump on mine to get good rates. Maybe that 'no soul collection on the old guard' rule is for the better.
(This is, of course, assuming your soul wasn't already stolen by a third party. If this is the case the point is moot, or I should go hunting down the third party if they're less cool than us.)

Maybe that 'no soul collection on the old guard' rule is for the better. The thing is, it wasn't a 'no soul collection on the old guard' rule at all. It was a 'no soul collection on mods or anyone who signed up before a mod'. You best be VERY thankful I quickly rewrote it to be locked to pre-2005-02-19 before Mikey became a full mod, or else we'd have a right royal mess on our hands with refunds. To Kyle: Yes, this means the one loophole you could've exercised is gone, null, and void. Should've read that paperwork. give the regular members real toilets that actually flush! Now, Dashe, we've gone over this. It's much cheaper to redefine what we meant by 'flush toliets' to 'toliets that are flush with...". That way we can not only buy heated seats in the lounge, but ones that vibrate and recline, too. |

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAH!!! I live... AGAIN! While you slept, Chiz, I had the opportunity to exploit said loophole. Living in different timezones has it perks, eh? |

Well hello, Shelldragon! It certainly has been a long time! Welcome back, if indeed you are back. Here's hoping your attempt to reconnect wasn't thwarted by the sight of this paperwork-and-related insanity. It's nothing personal you know, they flood every welcome thread with this stuff. @_@ Anyway, I was actually thinking of you not so long ago believe it or not, and wondering what you might be up to. It's great to hear you've worked your way into living a dream. Wonderful in fact! I'm assuming of course that you remember who I am, right? You, Dia and I were involved in this not-so-successful site--among some of my other modest contributions to the community. |

Well well! A prodigal son daughter of Legends's Station's past has returned! ;D Welcome back Shelldragon! Wonderful to see the original crazy Teisel fan has returned. :12: As Dashe hinted, a lot's changed over the last seven years; check out the main site's pages and the news archives, as they're sure to get you up to speed. I too am not part of (Chiz's so-called) 'original cast' of MMLS's Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Players; although you could call me part of the original audience, as I was just a lurker reading along at home back then. I always remembered that early era ('04-'05) as being pretty wacky; it's a shame the in-jokes of forms and refractor mines aren't nearly as off-kilter as the likes of mod squads with mop tops and the unknowable white bread. Regardless, feel free to stick around, and most importantly, enjoy your time here! |
