Howdy!

Postby Mantisking » Fri Mar 30, 2012 12:44 pm

Since I finally got the screen-name I wanted -- Thanks, Schoon! -- I really should do a proper introduction. (Although having a second account allows me to have some fun with some blatant sock-puppetry. :twisted:) On to the matter at hand!

I was introduced to Mechaton at a housecon several years ago, roughly 2007 I think. I fell in love with it instantly. As soon as I could I ran out and bought Lego sets and started assembling mechs. You can see some of those early attempts in my Photobucket account. I still have most of them in some form or other. I rarely disassemble things. Later that year I went to Gencon for the first time where I purchased the rules and a kit of Classic mechs. I also met Vincent and Joshua for the first time. And up until recently, this would be the only place I would see them despite living in the same state. After that I didn't look back. I built mechs and played at every opportunity. I talked about it whenever and where-ever I could. I watched as interest in the game waxed and waned; waiting for the day that it would rise ascendant.

So here I am, with you, today. Waiting for the release of MFZ, wallowing in the creativity, passion, and anticipation of the burgeoning Mechaton community.

P.S.: I would like to send many thanks to Vincent, Joshua, and anyone else invloved in the creation of Mechaton for bringing me out of my Lego Dark Ages.

And rise ascendant is has!

Love the work you put out by the way, and I'm encouraged to know that you started "from scratch" to a certain degree. It's encouraging to us n00bs here.

Thanks, it means a lot to me for you to write that.
