It's all fun and games until the cat knocks the Nitroglicerine over.

OK, finally got around to answering this firvoulous lil' topic 🙂

I'm Mazca (formed by taking my first name, Max, and generally screwing with it and adding an a). I hang around the EV boards (but not the Nova or B&🆒 ,especially the Developer's Corner for some reason (Oh yes, I moderate it :)). Found out about EV: Can't remember. but it was version 1.0.1 I think.

Signification of presence: ( Signification? Hmm. To borrow a phrase from "The Princess Bride," I don't think that word means what you think it means. But what the hey!) The EV and EV Chronicles boards, mostly. EV Developers' Board occasionally, and EV Override Board hardly at all. Used to hang out on B & B, but that was then.
Name on ASW Board: Phil Barron. Used to be PlanetPhil (see below).
Reason for Name: My mother gave it to me. 😛 And I don't feel much like a planet these days.
Where you first found out about EV: Via ZDNet's (url="http://"http://www.zdnet.com/mac/download.html")MacDownload(/url) site, probably in early '98. I was just looking for a space game to play. Who knew?

Interesting. I was reading through the book of Joshua today, and I ran over the name "Asriel." He was a descendent of Manassah, a tribe of Israel in about 5 B.C...

Signification of prescence: Occasionally revisiting Ambrosia boards to offer two cents on any topic

Where you first found out about EV: My brother downloaded it while hunting for cool games (I had only played Maelstrom previously out of the Ambrosia games though).

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! Planet Phil!!! Why'd you change your name?!! You were my idol, but now I'm gonna see you as a completely different person!!! I know I sound insane, but the only mental picture I have of you is based on your name. You change that, and I'll see you in a completely different light! I guess I can't make you change back though. Oh well. I just want you to know how distressed I am. See ya.

May those who love us, love us. And those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts. And if he doesn't turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so we'll know them by their limping.

Signification of Presence: I enjoy playing EV, and thus have to come back every once in a while to see what ppl are talking about.

Name on ASW boards: Jak205

Reason for name: Its the name I use in everything, including planetarion 😉

Where did you first find out about EV: MacHome CD, September `98

It was actually EV:Override that I found on the CD, but I converted to an EV fan once I figured out how to get that from the internet 🙂
