Hey Locutus... I noticed another thread here titled Newbee Guide... is that instructions for you on how to be a mod

All those new screens are a little overwhelming at first and 3 people were pressurising me to split the thread. Can't really hold it against me... */dreaming*

That's about the same as accepting a EULA without reading it first

EULA, reading? Both those words used in the same sentence without a negation? My dear, you must be severely overworked from all that Directory coding - I strongly suggest you take a few days off

You just have to know where to look. I posted a link in the " Moderator popularity" poll... That's how Rah spotted it and then made his mention.

Seems like we both overlooked a thread

(hint: the thread I'm referring to has the word moderator in the subject

)

Well, there will be no work done on the databases tomorow, so I guess that's my free day.

So, how did you notice it?

I gotta say, these initiation rituals are tough - almost makes me want to drop my moderator position again, almost

I wouldn't have... normally I would never check the CTP2 forums unless locutus asked me to... I only assist in these forums, I'm not a mod here. But "SOMEBODY" sent me an ICQ message to check the thread out

As you probably know, Ming's been supporting my lobby to get moderating powers here since day 1 (well, maybe not since day 1 but for a long time anyway), so the very first thing I did when I saw that post by Markos was inform and thank Ming... only seemed fair...

I bet now, you wish you hadn't

And another thing... I saw another thread here titled "I've got a question about the mods... "... and it has 31 responses already. You really are popular today

rah · September 10, 2002, 14:44

Don't feel bad, the first time I tried to split a thread, I screwed it up and had to do it again.

Believe it or not, I still have CTP2 on my machine. I've played it more than CIVIII. Even tried a mod or two.
So I do check this forum out every now and then. (more then than every now)

Take the recognition while you can. While I still really enjoy the OT section, It's now not quite the same now that I'm a mod there. I have to check out threads that I would never have opened in the past.

Well, all things considered, I owe you bigtime! So although I'm not as enthousiastic anymore as earlier, I still stand by my decision

Seems like you've been posting in OTF for a bit too long

That and it's obvious he didn't open the thread and read what the real subject was.

Why, you ought to try out some of the newer mods, very interesting things have happened in the past months */shameless plug*

Ah, that won't be a problem for me: I read and posted in every single thread on the CtP1/2 forums before I became a mod and I will continue to do so now

Gramphos · September 10, 2002, 14:52

Or he knew it, but wanted to make something fun about it. I thought about doing so myself...

Nahhh... You owe MarkG big time. He's the one that made the call. The only thing I have ever done is point out what a good job you did making me do chores for you

Congrats again!

I owe MarkG even more, way more - goes without saying. But I owe you too

What a sicko...

But I know how you feel... I was the same way in the Civ II forums.

And by the way, I did check out the mods thread before making my post. But it was hard to pass up a thread title like that today

So true, so true... but some of us are in a slightly worse condition than others

Gramphos · September 10, 2002, 15:22

You moved the thread I was posting in?

I did find it here, and because it was today I found it faster here then I would in the community

Well, when I saw the redirect, I was going to congratulate him on his first "move"... but just to make sure, I checked the edit log, and MARKG HAD DONE IT...

Must have something to do with the link I posted in the staff room then...

Soory Locutus, Markos beat you on it.

I read/post in almost every thread in the MP forum. The volume isn't that High. The OT is another story completely. You're away for 3 hours and there's no way you can catch up.

Or want to.

Immortal Wombat · September 10, 2002, 15:43

Congrats, Locutus. Just don't go all power-crazy

Yeah, I noticed. Tonight I've been too busy dealing with all the moderatorship-related threads to do anything else

Only just began catching up on daily events again
