AnthroCafe---Rules and Regulations

Tue Jul 22, 2008, 9:35 AM
Welcome to the Anthro Cafe, were we serve food for thought! Feel free to sit down, unwind, and chat with other (furries and non-furries alike) about anything you wish. Gaming, movies, philosophy, politics...you name it. This is a laid back and relaxed environment. With that said, there are a few important things you must keep in mind:

:coffeecup: New Members --- Welcome to the cafe! Let a mod know which group you would like to be placed in. A list of all of the groups can be found by clicking on "chatroom settings" in the lower-right-hand corner.

:coffeecup: Respect --- This is big. Please be kind and curtious to all members of this chatroom. Disrespect will not be tolerated

:coffeecup: Language --- Please try to refrain from using harsh, vulgar, and offensive language. A little swearing here and there is permissible, but keep it to a minimum, and respect mods if they tell you to watch your language. Also, please try to use proper English while in this room. Avoid excessive 1337 speak, and do not type in all caps.

:coffeecup: Spam --- We don't want it, don't do it.

:coffeecup: Role Playing --- RP is permitted. However, sexual RP is strictly forbidden. It goes against Deviant Art regulations, and as such it is not accepted in the Anthro Cafe. Take it somewhere else.

:coffeecup: Bots --- Bots may be present in the room on occasion. They are there to assist you, and should not be taken advantage of. Do not "chat" with the bot when there are plenty of people to talk to, and do not spam the bot's commands.

:coffeemachine: :coffeemachine: :coffeemachine:

Violations
If you break any of the regulations listed above, you will suffer the consequences.

First offense = warning
Second offense = kicked from chat
Thrid offense = banned from chat

If you feel that you were unfairly banned, send a note to :iconashaya88: with your side of the situation. Explain why you believe you were unfairly banned. Taking screenshots will help your case immensely.

:coffeemachine: :coffeemachine: :coffeemachine:

VIP

Each week, one member of the chat will be randomly selected to be the VIP. This person will receive a special class. They will not have any extra privileges, however...other than bragging rights, of course. :D At the end of the week, an new VIP will be chosen, and the old VIP will go back to their original class.

Know them, respect them:

Please do not ask to become a mod. We have more than enough to cope with the current amount of chatroom members. If we need more, we will approach you, not the other way around.

Random Quiz

Sat Jun 21, 2008, 11:17 PM
I got this from :icondm-nonchalant:
______________________________

What's your most innappropriate nickname that you've gotten from a friend? (bullies DON'T COUNT D:< )

Um...'Honey'? *shrugs*

What is your favorite form of non-temporal art? (paintings, sculptures, basically everything except music)

Does film count?

Do you feel that American culture is oversaturated by consumerism?

Yes

What do you do when the commercial break begins on TV?

Typically...I watch the commercials.

Are you homophobic?

Not at all

Do you memorize the lyrics to your favorite songs or just make words up as you sing the tune?

For the few songs I listen to, I memorize the words.

If I told you there was a scary person behind you right now, would you be compelled to look even though you know there's no way I could know that?

If you told me in person, I'd most definitely look. Otherwise, I wouldn't.


Do you sing in the shower?

Yes

When you are in an airplane, do you listen to all of the warnings from the flight attendants?

No, not really.

What type of music do you listen to?

...

And that's what type of music I listen to.

Do you tend to judge people by the clothes they wear?

I try not to, I really do. But stereotypes are so heavily forced upon us that it's difficult not to.

Are you insulted by people who say "we" to include people around them when they don't consult anyone first to see if they actually agree?

I suppose it would depend upon the situation. Generally, I'm not insulted, but I may raise an eyebrow at it.

How long did it take you to recognize the following lyrics? (Ready? Set? Go!)

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

Uh.....I still don't know what it is.

How many fingers do you type with?

9

What is going through your mind when you are in a vehicle traveling over a bridge over water?

If I'm anyone but the driver, I'll usually be up against the window, trying to get a better view.

What's the longest amount of time that you have spent in a moving vehicle?

I want to say 12 hours. There were several rest stops in there, so I'm not sure if that counts or not.

How many floors does your home have?

2

How concerned are you with your appearance?

Mildly, I suppose. I'll fuss over my hair a lot, and I think I'm too skinny. So, yeah...I guess it weighs on my mind.

How do you usually answer the phone?

"Hello?"

Have you ever left your current country? (that you remember without your parents telling you it's true!)

I went to Canada once. Niagara Falls.

Do you know the manufacturer of any of your clothing without peeking?

No

Do you think it's rude to talk about sex in a public place?

In front of kids? Very much. In front of people my age or older? No.

How do you feel about celebrities in general? (feel free to rant!)

They're good and they're bad. I don't really want to waste my time on them, but I will say this: The good ones serves as good role models, and the bad ones serve as good examples of what not to do.

Do you think we (as in human beings) need to save the planet?

Hahaha. The planet doesn't need saving. It'll survive. It'll adapt. It'll evolve. It's the human race that needs saving.

How do you generally refer to males (men, boys, etc.)? Females?

I refer to males as "guys" and females as "girls."

How do you approach people to greet them when they are waiting for you?

I usually walk up and say something like, "Hey! How's it going?"

How long do you think a for-fun survey should be?

As long as possible before it stops being fun.

Do you enjoy surveys?

Yes. :D

Do you hate when surveys start to ask you questions about themselves?

I don't hate it, no. It's a little amusing, but unusual.

Is this getting weird?

Yes?

Are you gullible?

No. But I am naive.

What do you think you would do in the following situation:

You are in a park. Someone is screaming for help. They are bleeding and appear to have been shot. Other people are standing around, just as close as you.


I've taken enough psychology to know that I'd probably do the same thing as everyone else....just stand around. It's called the bystander effect. The larger the group, the more the sense of responsibility is spread thin. I want to say I'd rise above that, but I'm not vain enough to believe it.

Now answer the last question again as a superhero of your choice.

I would swing in on my webs to the "oohs" and "ahhs" of an astonished crowd, scooping up the victim and placing them safe distance away, causally ignoring the excited group pointing in my direction and yelling, "It's Spiderman!" I would then swing back in, find the culprit, and kick some serious ass.


Now how about this situation:

You have been chosen by your country to represent them in a mission to an alien planet with recently discovered life forms. The aliens ask you what people do for fun in the land where you come from.


"What do we do for fun, eh? When where I'm from, Ohio, we always.....er....well.....you know, we....uh.....h-hang on, give me a second..."

What do you do to cope with stress?

Play video games, of course. :D

Do you think that we put too much pressure on youths to do certain things?

Oh, god. Yes, yes we do. *coughstanderizedtestingcough*

If you see someone who is less fortunate than you in some respect, do you feel guilty?

Yes

Are politics corrupt and biased, in your opinion?

Yes. It's all a power struggle, regardless what position you take. It all comes down to being in charge and doing things your way.

How do you react when a friend says something you strongly disagree with?

I usually wince, and then politely explain to them why I'm uncomfortable with what they just said.

Do you think the place you were raised in has left you with a noticeable accent?

No

Did you ever learn how to ride a bike?

Yes

Disintegration

Mon May 19, 2008, 12:18 PM
To all the loyal readers of my comic (...you do exist, don't you?), I have some sort-of bad news. I say 'sort-of' because it is very likely that you have picked up on it by now. It seems that I am incapable of updating with a weekly comic. As you may or may not have noticed, I have become increasingly active on my secondary account. So active, I should say, that it has actually transitioned into becoming my primary account, bumping this one down into second place. I have to admit that I never expected that. With that said, I will continue to post comics whenever inspiration strikes me, but I no longer anticipate having a weekly update. In addition, I tend to be much more social on my alternate account, and as such I hardly ever log on to this one anymore. I apologize for any disappoint this may cause.

A few announcements

Sat Apr 19, 2008, 10:44 AM
Another week, another comic. Looks like I'm back on track again. Thank god for that. Okay, I have just a few quick things to say...

First, I deviated from the norm a bit and made a stamp, for those DA members who collect them. I the idea came to me suddenly when I was bored, so I decided to go ahead and make it. It captures my inner Nintendo fanboy quite well, I believe. Check it out here: [link]

Also, I have redone the first page of my comic because I couldn't stand to look at the terrible quality any longer. But, because of the topic of that particular comic, I have decided to make it available as a print on coffee mugs. Please look into buying one...I would really appreciate it. I'll have to fish around for monies so that I can buy one too. Anyway, you can check that out here: [link]

Okay, that's all for me for now! Until next time, enjoy the comic, and leave comments, dammit! :shakefist: XD
