New Mods: Yea or Nay

[Break]

it shouldnt be. and to be fair, I get bitched out all the time. I have been called hypocritical and biased, had reports filed against me, Hell, I even had some jack asses get caught trying to come up with a plan to have me framed for a sock puppet supporter like Leo was, and thus removed from my spot and preferably perma'd, and all manner of other stuff as well. Notably, I have never once hit someone for it.

Still, just thinking about it objectively, it must be somewhat worrisome.

Lol seriously? Sounds like some people taking stuff way too serious, going to such lengths......

No comment.

ROFL

[Megas]

I feel like I'd be ok with one or two more mods maybe.

Maybe just to help keep things like the Baltimore thread etc from blowing up.

is this how the tobias family food puppet incident was interpreted?

So, we choose who would be mods by ourselves?

In that case, I choose none. Can't have democracy ruining any more power in this forum.

Can you make an exception to mod confidentiality and tell us who tried to do that because I'll be honest that's really funny. No offense, but it is.

oh shit

I wont tell you who, but I will tell you how. Mostly because its funny as balls

So, a while back (more then a month, less then a year) a group got together on IRC to bitch about me (as they are want to do).

This is normal, what was less normal was the decision that I needed to be taken down because at the time since I was considered to be the only really active mod, if i wasnt around "we will be able to have a lot more 'fun'". And yes, our mastermind actually had fun in quotation marks. For the next several hours, our mastermind formed an crack team (emphasis on crack) to come up with a devilish plan.

What our intrepid crew of brain surgeons and rocket scientists decided to do, was to wait till I went on vacation or had some emergency come up, it was specifically noted that I occasionally vanished because my mom went back into the hospital. The second that occured, they would have "someone" come back and sockpuppet, and in fairness to our mensa atheletes and braniacs, CV was never specifically mentioned. Only that "someone" would come back, and would immediatly begin forwarding me damning looking PMs. then some chat logs were to be forged on IRC and then someone would forward them to the Admins. The idea being that while I was gone and couldnt defend myself, the Admins would check my PMs, see the messages sent to me, and that along with the IRC logs would be enough to get me kicked out. By the time I got back the ball was (supposedly, according to our "special" crew) going to have been moving so fast that I wouldn't be able to clear my name.

The plan was never put into place. I am not sure if its because I haven't needed to go on vacation since it was devised or if the brilliant tacticians and evil geniuses who came up with the idea all ran out of whatever illicit substance they were imbibing to make that seem like something that would ever work.

I suppose I should be offended but in actuality all I can feel about this is a nigh delirious sense of amusement. I haven't laughed so hard in years.

[Leftovers]

What in the actual hell.

[GhostDIGIT]

My sides!

[Spinach]

These guys must have been absolutely beyond dumb to get caught if they were conspiring over IRC and never even acted on their plan.

That, or someone snitched.

[Cruor]

How did you even find out about this like jeezus.

[SeiKeo]

Uh-huh.

maybe it was a good ol bungle boy double bottom gambit a la science club

Bungle boys don't use IRC.

[Tobias]

A magician never reveals his secrets.

I will say one of the things that really sold it for our intrepid crew as when one of them was talking about going through my post history and monitoring me on regalia for a while so they could see how I chatted with people, one of them even suggested trying to write a few bad puns to make it sound authentic. I do believe his/her exact words were "if you take a shot at the king...you can't miss"

Seriously. by the end of this I was rolling on the floor. I wish I had thought to make popcorn.

[SeiKeo]

Bungle boys don't use IRC.

That's why it's a double-bottom.

[I3uster]

Bungle boys don't use IRC.

I know, just saying it might have been the same general idea since the science club thing was talked about in the History thread.

[Thedoctor]

This sounds too good to be true.

[Petrikow]

Sounds too weird to be true

[I3uster]

Sounds too weird to be true

I mean it's not unreasonable that this would work from the view of the perpetrators, doctored logs got Spinach banned that one time.

[Petrikow]

That or Tobias is weaving quite the tale.
