Well, congrats man.

I'm more inclined to offer my condolences, personally :). Being a moderator is bad enough, but a middle-type moderator's got to be the absolute worst. They tell you that you have the power, only... not really. Ha ha.

 

*shakes head sadly* Poor guy... :D

Condolences equally welcomed :)

 

There's nothing terrible about being a moderator as long as you realise that people just like to gripe and flame. No biggie.

As for "power", as long as I have my little domain to keep tidy and busy with, there are no real worries. "Power" is only an issue if admin and upper-echelon mods constantly second-guess and over-ride your decisions, which certainly doesn't seem to be the case here.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Is anyone else wondering why they used the Jurassic Park theme at the beginning of the show?

 

Yeah, I noticed that too, right off the bat.
