*Chuckles at Loves as she squeals and runs around in circles with her hands in the air*<br/><br/>What a funny image that formed in my mind, Loves. LOL :P<br/><br/>Ahem... but, back to business...<br/><br/>For the new folks, I would just to say welcome to The Gamble. Very nice opening posts so far with one yet to come. I hope you all enjoy your time with us in the black.<br/><br/>Also, a reminder on the use of Mandarin Chinese: If you would be so kind as to provide a translation at the conclusion of your post, that would be MOST appreciated as none of here actually speak Mandarin Chinese... that I know of. So, for example when some one says<strong>"Ta ma de!"</strong>then at the end of your post just do this:<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Ta ma de! = Fuck!<br/><br/><br/>Also, I really like the idea of posting a small image of our character's faces at the outset of the post, just like Loves and Hati have done in their posts. I would like to ask everyone to do the same in their posts from here on out. You can change the picture as often as you like, just try to keep it to a head-shot no larger than 250x250 pixels. On occasion it is acceptable to include a full body image if you want to show how your character is dressed, just try to keep the size reasonable so that it doesn't consume the post. You can make the picture larger if you post it below your post, so that people read what you've written and THEN see the large picture. Just don't make the picture so large that all we see is an eye and we have to scroll endlessly to see it all. In fact, don't make us scroll at all, please. :D Thanks guys and ladies.
