And I was on pre-Jolt. *yawns* What of it. This is all getting more than a little tiring. So if you'll pardon me, until you provide some actual proof, I'm just going to stop responding. I'm sure this doesn't have anything to do with your own record on site. These sorts of passive-aggressive tirades never do.



You know its funny, my record was much better back on Jolt.

None of those are inherently lethal though. I'm rather fond of putting lots of large knife-shaped holes in my victims, personally. Though a chainsaw can be so delightfully messy. And fire. You get the BEST screams with fire.

Very true indeed, though if you simply slow roast them in an incredibly hot room, it has the same effect, but prolonged.

I'm sorry, you're right. What I meant to say is, I've never heard some one refer to a certain thing they've done and say they agree to it. But yes, that is true.

I'm sure this has nothing whatsoever to do with recent events either. Funny how that always seems to coincide.

Nothing good huh? I did say I would give the Mods a hug for their good work, but the internet is in my way. Anyway, probably for the seventh time or whatever, the mods are lovely and do a great job under unneeded stress. They really deserve some more respect and such, from the poor fools who think they can mess up NS. ... This deserves a poem. Wait a minute.

Right right. Anyone with a problem doesn't have a legitimate grievance. They're just sore for personal, unrelated reasons. You guys don't deflect and ignore criticism at all.

The mods are people like the rest of us. They do fine work, but they should not get paid because that would add to the cost of maintaining the servers.

Seriously? The mods here are slack. If anything they need to be more punitive. I've seen mods who would ban at the sight of double posts and one-word posts. I've seen mods who would lock threads like these. I've seen forums where a rule on spelling and grammatical errors are enforced vehemently.

So please, don't tell me the mods here are "the worst" because they actually did their jobs.

Pot, kettle ... proof yet? No? Unsurprised.

When there is a legitimate grievance we do try to address it. As you don't have access to all the information, and all the situations boiling behind the scenes, or in areas you don't play in, I wouldn't expect you to know what I was referring to there, and apparently, Valita missed out on the bit of fun and games as well. Understandable, my apologies for assuming. I'll note he adjusted his comment as well, thank you.

I love mods. They really add to the game and make it far more interesting. Why, back when I was still playing Oblivion, I had over 80 different mods installed, and I... Oh, wait. You're not talking about those kinds of mods, are you?

Eh, they're okay, I guess. Though, I'd prefer it if they added more quests to the forum, or something. Or new weapons, maybe. Anything really.

*ahem*
the mods of the forums of states,
Swing their axes and stand by the gates,
They think they're so tall, and that they wont fall,
But the trolls of NS wait to push em all,
Off the site, with a dear bit of fright,
What a horrid plight, and without the light,
On the seven day ban...

Part two to commense next post, unless the Mods dont like being flattered.

Oh, I do love a good psychological tear-down, but sometimes it just takes too long to do. I mean, sure, if there's some free time and nothing else demanding my time, I love a good round of slow-torturing the users. But sometimes there's just too much terrorizing to get done in a short period of time!
