Question for the Mods
Each time a new thread is posted do you get a warning or some kind of message about it? Or do you just have to look at the envelopes and the top of the page like everyone else?
Also, what other kinds of cool gadgets to you guys have?

We have tons of "cool gadgets" that assist us in our job.
And I have no intent of pointing out exactly what they are so that people can figure out ways to beat them

It is a shame that people would abuse that knowledge. I've always wondered what technological wizardry goes into your omnipresence!

Note:
While most of us use those extra features, Ming doesn't have to. He's just that good.

Sid came to their house and personally handed them the first copy to playtest for him.

Do you not consider the thirties to be still young? 
Young at heart at least!

Did not some study once show that for every minute older a twin was, that he on average died that many years earlier?

Actually 18 minutes is pretty close. All the other twins that I know probably average in the 60 minutes apart time frame which would make the minute a year thing quite silly. From everything that I've studied the oldest usually lives longer, is more successfuly, is smarter and usually wins almost every competition with the younger one. My sources may be a bit biased, (all the older twins that i know) but I have high faith in the research.

Ming has a bluetooth receiving device surgically inserted into his brain. That way he can stay updated on 'poly while he is sleeping.

I am assisted by a crack team of ten thousand immortal fembots who scour the forums for evildoers and give me... sensuous massages. They are also damn good chess partners.
