I just realised that maybe I should introduce myself...

[Zenthisoror]

Hello, all! Zenthi here, alternatively known as Zen.

To be fair, I'm not really a fresher. I've been around on the spoiler cbox for a good...eight years now? I'm very much a Conan veteran, but when it comes to thing like forums, I am about as at sea as the Conan BO plot. And I make an appearance just about as regularly on the forums as the BO plot does in the manga as well.

I got into Conan borrowing volumes 1 to 3 from a friend on a 12 hour flight when I was eight, went to a second-hand book store to buy volumes 1-28 the year after, then bought all the rest one by one until I'd (rather unhappily) caught up and had to sit around waiting for 42 to come out. That volume was definitely worth the wait! I blame Conan for my family's accusations that my Japanese is skewed to a lot of terminology useless for normal conversation...like 'locked room murder'...

Occasionally I translate, occasionally I speculate, all in the crazy madness of the spoiler cbox. I have a habit of coming and going and diverting the spoiler cbox towards various fascinating topics such as the latest Shingeki file and Gin and Vodka's driving habits.

Anyway, nice to make your acquaintance.

Welcome to the forums Zen!

Spoiler: Intro

Welcome to the Family!


People here are unique. They're wild, crazy, and out-of-this-world. But that makes them special.

Let me introduce you to some of them.

First and foremost, I'd like to inform you about certain members here who go by the names of phreak_91 and xpon: They are creepy - very, very creepy; so if you're a girl, stay the hell away, and if you're a boy stay the hell away. In short, STAY THE HELL AWAY.

Don't worry about that bush behind you. That's probably Conia, our Community Stalker -- if not, then it's Shadowman; who else?

Further on we have our Poll Maker (you will find a daily random poll made by him in the Off-Topic section), Community Saviour (loved by everyone, feared by some), Ninja Assassins, Mad Scientists, weirdly-named people, Rice Warriors (Beware! You might just get punched!), Grammar Romans (You better write well, otherwise she'll chop you, burn you, and erase you off this earth with the help of her pokemon), Hypeman (also known as Batman), Nightwing, Evil Princesses, and your (yes, YOUR) long lost child (who is actually everybody's child).

And many Many MANY MANY MORE.


On the Off-Topic Board, as I'm sure you'll find soon enough, weird, but awesome, organizations are commonplace. They don't require you to join, but you'll find it hard to resist taking a peek into who they are and what they do.

To make things easy for you, here's a list of the current groups inhabiting the OT:

If you are a cat, I assure you, you will love the DCTP Cat Family Thread. If you are an S or M, you'll love this place. You might also like this place.

If you are a sonoci fan, you might want to join this. If you are a fan of Kleene Onigiri, you might want to join this. There's also the DCTP Family Chart.

If you are Filipino (or can speak Filipino), you might want to visit . And if you are Spanish (or can speak Spanish), you might want to go [url=http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6428]here. And if you are German (or can speak German), you might want to go here. If you want to protect aliens (or strange creatures) just go here.

Next in line is the CCP, residing in the First Impressions Thread. I can't say much about them, but you'll find out by asking Conia or Callid, the founders of the pact.

Also, harems are normal, so don't get freaked out that much; however, it's okay to scream and yell for help if you ever get recruited.

There are also many threads where you can tell your happy, bad, awesome, weird, and creepy stories, and your Dreams. You can also talk about what's on your mind, what's NOT on your mind, and randomness.

Ever heard of the game Mafia? Come play with us. Let's kill...

...some time.

We also have the games of ESPIONAGE, Mini Mafia, and Kogorous Riddle Thread and eworms Deduction Thread.



A lot of skirmishes happen between members, and you might get involved - but please do not try to even utter a single insult against Ai, if you don't want to be squashed, chopped, burned, tortured, pitch-forked or poked by the AiCon fans. Of course, the same applies to Kaitou KID.

So, again, I welcome you here, and please don't hesitate in praising Haibara. Many people do that, you'll pass undetected in front of the mods' eyes. Go off-topic (even in Off-Topic), annoy people -- just go and have fun.


I hope you enjoy your stay... and hopefully you, too, will find this family to be the best there is.
