Hello Everyone

Hi! I am Admiral Van Tromp, I am Portuguese and since the last year, I have been following this project and I must say that this is the most ambitious and innovative game I ever came across. I've been lurking around for awhile and today I thought of joining in so that my voice is heard. I feel that the place where I can help the most is in the Society and Industrial stages, as I am currently studying Social sciences (including History which is my favorite). I can also draw some stuff and will likely end up contributing to the concept art thread once I have something solid.

I am happy to be here and I can't wait to join the interesting discussions going on.

Welcome to the project! I suppose, given that you've been on our forums, you know how my greeting goes. If you need anything at all, feel free to PM Alaska or myself.

Yes, I know the place pretty well :).

Thanks for the welcome!

And welcome! And it's interesting you can help in society and industrial stages, because they are just the stages I'm not very knowledgable on... Actually, it's coincidence. Hm... I think I know you know I know you know how rubbish I am at having any content in welcome posts (except that one about Sandbox, but that was a rare opportunity for me to actually say something), all I can really say is...
Welcome to Thrive! I am Sandbox team lead! As it says by my name. What else... Oh, I upgraded. For more info, check out my awsome sig.

Hello, thanks for the welcome. I know a bit about the Uteens' (I read the wiki on them). Anyways, I'm glad I can be of service.

Welcome, Admiral Van Tromp! I suppose you'll be rather familiar, being a lurker and all. But you should probably check through the wiki if you haven't already done so.

Thanks, I already made a quick reading of it but I will now make a more in-depth reading especially on what concerns Society and Industrial stages as that is where I may have some new concepts.

That's great. It seems like a lot of people have been signing up since I ~~fell over the edge of the world~~ was last here.

Portuguese, you say? Want to join the translation team? *wink wink nudge nudge.* Click the sig then, there's already a few Portuguese speakers who would love to have you.

Hi! Thanks for the offer, I'll think about it. Translating tons of text is really not my expertise, but I may join it if I find the time and will to.

Well, there's not entirely as much text as we'd like yet. I'm writing up our article on sucession, and trying to cut down the technical terms.
