Introduce yourselves: 2024-25 edition, plus a cringe icebreaker

The Washington Capitals are about to start the 2024-25 campaign, and we’re not ready yet. Not even close. Before we get going, here’s some important housekeeping, Welcome back to RMNB, unless you never left, in which case: thanks. Once again, our goal this season is to have some fun, insofar as the Caps allow us. And the us part is crucial, so let’s kick it off by saying hello to everyone.

Hello, I’m Peter. I’m in Frederick, and I work in technology, and when I’m not RMNBing I like to garden and make music. My cat Freddie is twenty years old. My favorite Caps player was Nic Dowd until Jakub Vrana made the team, so now it is Jakub Vrana.

Now you go. Tell us:

  • who you are,
  • where you’re at,
  • what you do,
  • what you’re into, and
  • who your favorite Cap is

Be however pseudonymous or vague as you’re comfortable with. Share a pic if you’re comfortable with that.

Icebreaker challenge: If you could wish one movie out of existence, which would it be? The correct answer is Pacific Rim: Uprising.

Also, please say hello to all your fellow people from nearby or with similar interests.

Our general rule is that everyone is welcome, as long as you’re not making others feel unwelcome. Please beware of the comment moderation auto-filter, which is capricious and cruel and not our fault. If you see an unpleasant comment, hit the flag icon at top right of it and report it. Hit us up directly if you need anything – especially if you have a good story tip.

By the way, we have a community Discord for our patrons. We’re pretty silly there; sorry in advance. If you support us at even the one-dollar tier, that’d be a great way to keep us going in case you use an adblocker.

Now let’s have a weird season. This season: normal is out. It’s passé. Let’s get weird. Crash the net.
