Greetings from Polak76

[Polak76]

Gday all! (yes thats the typical Aussie 'hello' coming from Sydney Australia)

I began life in Layo about three years ago.  It came about one day as I was fooling around NWN in single player and my mate asked me had i ever tried playing it online.  It tickled my  curiosity and until then the only online game i played was Diablo I & II.  Anyway I explored the multi-player option and previewed a couple of worlds and Layo just so happened to be the first world that appealed to me (not to mention the best after sampling many other worlds since).  

Anyway from that point I was hooked, much to my partners displeasure.  Since that time I've been married and now have our first child at 6 mths (yes, there are more to come).  I work for a large Chemical Company in Australia and live about 1/2hr northwest from Sydney itself.

Layo has been great for that much needed escape from the fast busy lifestyle. Other than Layo i enjoy soccer & fishing, a drink with the lads and most of all spending time with my wonderful family.

When people ask me what Layo is, the best way I can describe it is an ongoing, interactive online story that you as a character/player have an opportunity to shape.  That to me is it's greatest hook and what keeps me here to this day.

Cheers,
Polak76

Okay i owe some of you some photo's of my family.

I got heaps of my son but this one will do for now.  His name is Nikolas and he's our first turning 7 months old last wednesday.

I couldn't find anything of my wife and i, then I remembered my cousins wedding last year.  This was the only thing i could find on another website(and yes that uniform is from the bridal party).

Cheers,
Polak76

Keep that little guy away from my girls, I don't trust that glint in his eyes. Not one little bit.

[Polak76]

Well mate, i showed him the little pic of your daughter on my monitor and he gave me a curt nod and sly wink.  I rekon your gonna have your hands full!

And since you said girl's meaning more than one, I'd say you really have your hands full!

[Tanman]

Heya Polak, its always good to see a face behind the name. And Nikolas does look cute

[Polak76]

heh, thats his content laid-back cool side.  That can easily changed to an "I'm hungry get me some ¤¤¤¤ food look".

[Polak76]

It only seems like the other day that I posted the first pics of my son and only two weeks ago he had his first birthday.
Therefore here are a few more pics at his party in the park a couple of sundays ago.

God time flies!  I should pull him up for power levelling.

Cheers,
Polak76

Cute little kid!

And you're right, time does fly, mine is taller than me and 18 years old now.

Good looking kid there Polak!  It's always cool to finally see the man behind the monster .... err Corathite.

You probably don't remember this man, but I still remember RPing with Ram way back when, and via tells I was congratulating you on your engagement! Now this! Well, congrats again!

Now that certainly has flown.  IT's actually quite amazing when I think about it.  When I began Layo somewhere around 4 years back that seemed to be the begining of many changes in my life.  We could almost title Layo as a RP world and Real Life soapie.  Move out Young and the restless and hello Layo.

Hehe, my son is certainly a spawn of Corath.  You should see the chaos and mayhem in causes with little effort.
He can turn a neat living room into an environmental disaster within 5-10mintues.  The joys of children.
Also the way my wife holds that knife I sometimes wonder if she'd rather butterfly and fillet me rather than cut the cake.

I just noticed Nikolas looks nothing like you ... in fact, he kinda looks just like the guy behind you in the stripey shirt (the one your wife is talking to you).

Come on Pseudo, you built a little suspense then it fizzled out.  I thought you were gonna say something like it looked like you!

Hahaha, anyway that guy in the background is my best mate.  That might be possible, however, Nikolas does look very much like me.  I just need to show you my good side.

Anyway my misus was probably telling my mate to shut the hell up so we could start singing happy B-day.

Cute kid Polak!

And oh how time does fly with the little darlings.
