Figured I'd post here - need to get five for an avatar

...but I suppose introducing myself is the polite thing to do, regardless.

Lets see, I tried the free demo of the Kerbal Space Program after a post on Reddit brought me to the Kerbal Space Project sub-reddit. I started checking it out and I liked the demo so I bought the program.

One of the things that intrigued me, aside from the game itself (which I love) is the fact that it is still in the development stages and I have an opportunity to help in its production. From game suggestions to de-bugging. Its just fun to be in at this stage I suppose and to imagine just how much more awesome it could become.

Also, I've been messing around with it and enjoying the career mode. In fact, just yesterday, I managed to pull off a successful rescue mission... I stranded one of my kerbals in orbit and I was able to rescue not just him but his capsule too.

...then my five year old killed him. Tough luck I suppose.

Regardless, I'm excited to post my mission-flag as my avatar (I still haven't gotten it to work in the game, but I haven't spent too much time on it) and I'm looking forward to participating in the Kerbal community.

Sincerely,

Mission flag for those who are curious:

Well I love your mission flag!! Glad to see you on the forums! Also congratulations on your (close) docking! Good job saving the little kerbal! Hope you enjoy the forums!

Welcome aboard! Killed by a five-year old is a new way for Jeb to die, I'm sure we'll add it to the list. XD

Welcome. Nice flag

[Starwhip]

That flag. I like it. Seems very accurate.

Well, I hope you enjoy the forums and community, let alone the game.

Welcome! I like the flag. On a side note, is it working yet? If not, it might be the wrong format or in the wrong place. Mine is in GameData -> Squad -> Flags and it is a 256x160 PNG image, works just fine.
