Congratualtions Sedgistan

[Belschaft]

Well, we have a new mod. I imagine all our general well wishings go out to Sedge (if you know what's good for you), with the exception of Durkadurkiranistan who seems a bit jealous.

Do we have an acceptance speech forthcoming Sedge?

[NERVUN]

You might, just as soon as we're finished assimulating... er, training, yeah, that's the ticket. Training him.

[Unidox]

Congrats on the promotion; whoever you are.

[Geilinor]

Wrong forum, and why are you bragging on behalf of Sedgistan?

[Novaya Zemlja]

He's not the only one, and I'm not even referring to myself.

[Romanar]

I have no personal problem with it, but I do see the political problems here.

Congrats anyway.

[Belschaft]

Wrong forum? Where then do you suggest I create a general thread congratulating out new mod/sucking up?

[Tagmatium]

Hurrah!

Another Mod, albeit it one which was apparently needed.

Who even knows what goes on in this so-called "Gameplay"?

[Hurnen]

Yeah great, a fenda as a mod? Wonder if he'll turn neutral now...

Doubt it.

[New Britannian kingdom]

Doubt it.

Seconded.

But Congrats anyways to Sedge, as a former raider, and now a neutral NS player myself, I hope you'll prove me and others wrong.

[Govindia]

Thirded.

I would rather have had someone who is neutral in the defender/raider game be a forum modreator, or any moderator for that matter, rather than a defender who did use to commit forum destruction on the GRA's forums.

I thought Sedge retired from NS anyway...

That said, congratulations and I hope to be shown that he can be respectful to everyone and civil to everyone in a professional, mature manner.

[Freisharf]

Yeah more mods

this is definately what NS needs, more babying.

[Sun Aut Ex]

Who?

[Neo-Sovietnavia]

Who?

Who indeed.

[Svivk]

Sooooo, it took what 4, 5 posts for the jealousy to come out. Congrats Sedge...

The raider hate was expected, but still seems a bit silly

Your not going to get a dedicated and knowledgeable gameplay mod without it being someone who is heavily involved in either the GA or SC; that, realistically speaking, means either a raider or a defender. Can't be avoided.

Do you not think that Sedge had exactly the same conversation your now having with the other mods and admins when he was offered the job? Do you not think that unless they felt he could be neutral he wouldn't have
got the job?

[Ifreann]

....gameplay mod....

*loses interest and wanders off*

It does provide a bit of conflict of interest. Much of Sedge's work in the WA & SC was defender oriented and gave the SC a strong defender slant instead of keeping things neutral. That and there are other SC people who are more qualified to show neutrality to be a forum moderator than he is IMO.

Even still, he's only a forum moderator, not a game moderator. I think there are better qualified, active, and more neutral people in the SC that would be good forum mods that won't lean one way or another.

*shrugs*

Did you nominate any of them? TBH I don't really care much either way as I only rarely contribute in the SC, and have never bothered with raiding or defending. However, Sedge has always struck me as component, dedicated and fair minded (if admitably something of partisan); at the very least he deserves a chance to actually do some moderation before you judge him.

Lol, who?

[Dyakovo]

This /\

[Kalibarr]

yes, it's another defender conspiracy.

Not.



Congrats Sedge

I always thought it was generally the region exchanges, design of flags and game help.

Congrats Sedgistan.

On the Moderation forum.

[Eireann Fae]

And Sedgistan's (seemingly) first action as a mod was to lock the thread I was about to reply to. BAH!

Srsly, have fun with it.
