Title: Mod team addition (topic merge of Zelda Veteran's and Tacheon's mod appointment)
Post by: Gamefreak on June 18, 2008, 05:39:18 AM
As you know, Zelda Veteran left the mod team last year (Actually, I think it was exactly one year ago) to sort out a few things and he didn't have the spare time to be a moderator here.

That said, he's back and is willing to come back to the mod force.

So let's all welcome Zelda Veteran back to the mod team.

YAYAH!!! :D

Welcome back to the Mod Squad, ZV! Here's your badge, your uniform, and your handgun. Use them well. :)

Mags, does shooting squirrels off power lines count as using your handgun well?

Welcome back, ZV! Although, there hasn't been much to mod lately. It's been pretty calm.

Welcome back.

Congrats on the remodulation.

Post by: Mysterious F. on June 18, 2008, 11:04:38 AM
Excluding me, I guess the gangs back together then.  ;) I have no plans on coming back, though. (Everybody can make a sigh of relief now)

Welcome back, ZV!!!!!  :P

Oh, and Awesome Ninja, HNS might hate you for doing that...

Thanks guys.
*Accepts the mod-pack.*

This little handgun seems kind of wimpy for me...

*pulls Desert Eagle out of safe*

This will bring spammers doom with much more efficiency than a wimpy handgun, granted its a little messier.

Post by: Rev Rabies on June 24, 2008, 09:35:10 PM
After much thought, i've realized that if i'm not going to visit here much, it'd be a waste of a mod position for me to be a mod, so i decided that in the best interest of the forum, i would like to pass on my position to Tacheon, if he would accept it.
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Twilight Wolf on June 24, 2008, 09:46:28 PM
We'll miss having you as a mod, Doctor.

Should you choose to accept your mission, Tacheon, be a good rule-enforcer for us. Don't abuse your power, and unholster your complimentary handgun only when absolutely necessary.

Checks and balances my friend.
Checks and very powerful balances. >:(
(i mes u up if u ubyoose ur powrz)

In all seriousness though, I'm sure Tacheon will make a great mod. I have faith in you Tacheon.
But remember-
Don't cross me-
because my Desert Eagle Face-Pwns your tiny handgun.
:P

Farewell Dr.Rabies. You were a great Mod while you were, and you'll go down in my memory as such. Visit as much as you can.
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Commodore Axilon on June 24, 2008, 10:12:35 PM
Noooooo!

Though I guess you're right. If you're not here that much then a mod position is kind of useless. But to get around that you could always post here more, eh? Eh?

And Tacheon, really? Really? You're choice, I guess, but come on. You can do better than that, surely.

[size=1/16]I kid, I kid. Tacheon's cool.[/size]

Are you hinting at something, Commodore?
Title: Re:Mod team addition
Post by: Gamefreak on June 25, 2008, 04:59:12 AM
Right, you weren't at the meeting.

Did you get the memo?

If you could just go ahead and...not talk loudly about our handguns....that'd be great.
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Gamefreak on June 25, 2008, 05:00:44 AM
I'll honor your request Dr, but I'm going to wait for Tacheon's word before I make any of this official.
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: MagmarFire on June 25, 2008, 09:58:02 AM
Tacheon, you would be a great mod. You follow the rules, I know you have the flair to uphold them if you can, and you're on quite frequently.

dats a gud mod rite there
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Axel on June 25, 2008, 10:01:02 AM
Well, I'll be here every day, and I've been dieing to be a mod here ever since I've joined, I'd do an ok job at it, but once I get experince, I could be a good mod. I hope anyway, I would love to do it! :D
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: DW on June 25, 2008, 10:58:02 AM
Jdog, your own opinion of whether you'd be a good mod or not isn't really what counts...

Anyways, Tacheon's already a half-mod anyways, so there's no doubt he'd be fine as a full mod.

...

You might have to start watching some of the pervy comments though...don't want to set a bad example...

I'm sure you would be Jdog! You seem to have a strong sense of justice. But you'll just have to wait in line.

...Jdog, Gamefreak isn't going to bypass Tacheon and make you a mod. No matter how much you promote yourself.

I didn't even know we were allowed to pass our modliness on to someone else like this.
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Commodore Axilon on June 25, 2008, 04:13:27 PM
I really think the Administrator* (in this case, Gamefreak) should be the only person to decide who and who isn't a Moderator.

Of course, anybody, including the Mod stepping down, should be able to suggest somebody. I just don't think you should be able to just give it away to anybody you like.

*Speaking of Admins, why isn't kamakaziplumber one?

I think he had a reason for it... I mean, he's in charge of the main site, and I think he said something about not really needing two. I'll have to find out for sure.

I try to honor the retiring mod's choice as much as I can.  Similar to the case of Whocares stepping down.  He suggested MagmarFire in his place.

And yes, kamikaziplumber denied forum administration because he decided it would be ok with just me.

Still waiting on some kind of word from Tacheon to make this official.
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Twilight Wolf on June 25, 2008, 05:29:29 PM
Strange... Tacheon's usually online all the time. He picked an odd day to be offline...

Coincidence? Probably.
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Keaton on June 25, 2008, 11:50:24 PM
Wow, yeah, this was a coincidence.

I'm really, really honored, Doctor.  Seriously, I feel unworthy.

I accept this nomination with the humblest gratitude.

:( I'll be sad with you not on the squad, though...

Anyways, nice to have you on the full team.

THERE WAS NOTHING BETTER ON

And seriously, thank you all so much.  I never knew that so many people actually think I'm worthy of responsibility (outside the military).  That's really a confidence booster.

But honestly, my decision all depends on whether or not Commodore thinks I'm good for the job.
Title: Re:Passing the torch

SCREW YOU TACHEON I HATE YOU AND I HOPE YOU DIE

No seriously, why would I have a problem with it? You're an intelligent, respected member of the board and are an excellent candidate for the position.

Although the thought of a /b/tard in any kind of position of power makes me die a little inside. :P

But I think that's the single nicest thing you've ever said.  And besides, you're making a terrible mistake.

Thank you all very much, I can't wait to don the spear and magic helmet.

Also, I won't be needing a handgun.

I'll be using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device.

Also, you're going to hate me but I'm going to the beach until Monday.  So my first real act as a mod is to leave you all for several days.  ^_^
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Gamefreak on June 26, 2008, 09:34:09 AM
Well, then you're fired!

What will the portal gun do on the forums?  Put one portal in the General Discussion and have the other end come out in the Chatboard?
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: Keaton on June 26, 2008, 09:37:05 AM
It's like moving topics, but with no redirect.

And no topic.

It actually divides the forums by zero.
Title: Re:Passing the torch
Post by: MagmarFire on June 26, 2008, 09:40:32 AM
And assuming the forums were already zero, would dividing them by zero make them one?

Overanalysis, FTW!

(You're going to the beach for about four days? Which one?)
