BruceVC Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yay for TN, an excellent choice. If they disqualified everyone who had a run-in with Gromnir, there's be no one left to moderate. sure there would. 'pon reflection, is probable an excellent barometers o' mod success. Gromnir tends to be adversarial and uncompromising. if we were looking for mods, we would want ones who didn't becoming gibbering nutters in the face o' our colorful posting style. that being said, we wouldn't normal have brought the tn conflict up at all, 'cause as you note, we has conflicts with many boardies. however, as we said, the rant were complete unexpected. were notable 'cause it were unprovoked. as such, we didn't get into it with him at the time. it were strange. HA! Good Fun! I generally enjoy our debates and I find your opinion on many topics interesting, of course I don't always agree with you but that doesn't mean its not entertaining. But I really try to not take debates personally or get emotional , I can have a heated discussion on one topic then move on to another topic with no ill will.

Nonek Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Commiserations or congratulations Mr Neutral, one is not sure which to wish you. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

Blarghagh Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks guys, I'll do my best to prove worthy of the position. This community has been a part of my life for ten years now and it is, by far, the best community I have had the pleasure of being a part of - I don't take this lightly. I have no intention of bossing anyone around - I don't feel that's a part of what a moderator does. in any event, am thinking a good rule-of-thumb is that anybody that wants to be a moderator is likely a poor choice... I agree. Shouldn't mods by definition be Lawful Neutral? I suppose True Neutral could imply some measure of objectivity? But this is a really old screen name. Congrats, TN... welcome to hell. Take it from a former bulletshield. And @ Orugun; Nope... they don't get paid for it. They're like virtual Syria-fighters 0_o (including mental issues when returning home after the fight) Haha, thanks. I know what I'm getting in to. It's not my first rodeo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agiel Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Could not help but notice that TrueNeutra's post count isn't all that high for the time he's been here... Guess it proves the adage "The less you speak, the more you hear." Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Gfted1 beat me to it. Anywhere except Way Off Topic, I tend to read more than I post. I'm not one for speculation and most news gets posted before I get to it because I get by far most of my video game news from this board. It's much more reliable than gaming magazines. I'm sure if Way Off Topic added to my post count, it would be substantially higher. Some SJWs about damage my calm. I'm sorry you feel that way.

Gorth Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Shouldn't mods by definition be Lawful Neutral? Lawful Neutral is so dull... (said the Chaotic Neutral guy). As for Gromnir... don't let the lack of skill points in diplomacy fool you. Just stay honest. Welcome to the squad TrueNeutral. it's a task that does indeed sometimes require two personalities, which needs to be kept separate. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
