You've managed to pop up on my very narrow radar, so you're at least doing something which affects the wider NS.

Collectively, yes. Individually, their roles are less prominent -- except within the Mod Collective, that is:

Katganistan - Team Mom, Grammar Nazi, Beware The Nice Ones
Reploid Productions - Anime Nerd, Card Carrying MOD BIAS!!1 Oppressor (at times)
Melkor Unchained - Unlucky Everydude, The Lancer (in any conceivable Five Man Band setup. seriously.)
Scolopendra - Deadpan Snarker (emphasis on the snark), The Smart Guy, Good Cop Bad Cop (Q: Which one is he? A: Yes.)
The Most Glorious Hack - The other Deadpan Snarker, Good Is Not Nice, Heterosexual Life Partners (with GMC Military Arms)
Ardchoille - just look for Nanny Ogg
Kryozerkia - Cloudcuckoolander, Obfuscating Silliness
NERVUN - Token Gaijin of course ;)
Lunatic Goofballs - The Jester, Trademark Favourite Food (tacos)
Jenrak - The Quiet One (rarely speaks in M/A)
The Archregimancy - Older And Wiser; Adventurer Archæologist (of course), Awesomeness By Analysis (comes with the territory)
Dread Lady Nathicana - Red (I'm not sure who's blue -- maybe Tsaraine); Zero Approval Gambit (on occasions)
Also, everyone gets a free pair of Jade Coloured Glasses on arrival.

Nice one, I didn't know it yet. Is it possible to have a quiz like "which moderator are you" according to this? It would be nice.

Personally I think I'm a mixture of 3 spoons Scolopendra, 3 spoons Lunatic Goofballs and perhaps a pinch of Katganistan. I could be a bit like Arch, but I don't have the patience nor the drive to teach people all about various subjects.

Why do I ask? Perhaps it is irrelevant but, in F7 (yeah, the dreaded board) I am being called 'Team Mom'. Apparently, I fill the role of a mother figure to some posters. So, do you feel as if you fill a certain role here? Why do you think you do? Why do you think you do not? Tell us about it.

Grouching away, one liners if you even get a speaking role. Then the episode that makes it all worthwhile, when you get to say what everyone has been thinking about Bad Boyfriend #2, to his face, and he slinks off the set never to be seen again.


I dream of this moment. If my actor-self manages to die in a suitably dramatic and buzzworthy fashion shortly afterward, I could live on forever as that character actor on the brink of making it.
