Douglas Collier wrote:*Gives Diss an acorn*

Sir, where exactly did you acquire that acorn?

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 10:56 pm

It came from an oak tree.

Never underestimate the wrath of squirrels

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 11:54 pm

I see a few squirrels here every once in a while. I also see many deer, as they love the pear trees in my yard. When I was in Canada for a week, there were chipmunks everywhere. They would always try to get out food, it didn't help that we were feeding them trail mix. We called them minibears.

If you need me in 2 days, I'll be hiding in my basement for the whole day. I don't have a stash of acorns down there, what are you talking about?

Be careful, despite how smelly he is (according to a certain mod), Diss can sense where acorns are.

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 9:39 pm

I have come out of my basement to offer a peace offering, have an acorn.

Please share nicely, I am going back into my basement now.

People don't seem to realize that I am the real terror you should fear because I can't be bribed with something so common as acorns.

Can you be bribed with love? (If not, I also have cake)

Wed Jan 21, 2015 11:33 pm

nah, you need to bribe Jeff with power tools.
I however accept desserts.

You'll be the first one I ban when I finally acquire the power to do so.

We appreciate you, squirrels!

It was either that or one with Justin Bieber decorations. I did you a favor.

Fun trivia: I have the largest ban body count of the entire mod staff. You just never hear about it because I'm so ruthless I practically erase my victims from existence.

Post by **ArcWolf** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 9:23 am

For a fun fact that wasn't really fun.

It's like the mods are some kind of mob.

The Mod Mob.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 9:26 am

Well, now that SAP is over, I'm off to regrease the bird feeder.

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 9:35 am

That is a fun fact as long as I am not erased. I don't plan on being banned anytime soon though, so that shouldn't be a problem.

And Diss is their don.

They take care of their business. They want a problem dealt with? It's erased from existence. So don't make yourself their problem, capiche?

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 2:05 pm

So I guess I should be careful, I like my existance, I don't want to be erased.

But... But... I gave out an acorn to be shared...

I guess I am fine, as I didn't shout something like, "YOU MODS ARE ALL MODS!"

Oh no... I just did...

Please don't erase me, that statement is true...

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 3:26 pm

I wanna see Sleet and Diss fight because Sleet called Diss smelly.

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 3:41 pm

Pfft. There are much worse things to be called than "smelly", amazee. Certainly not the kind of thing to start a fight over.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 3:47 pm

Sleet has always called Diss smelly.

Actually, all of the mods get along pretty well with each other. We may not all be "friends" with one another, but I've never seen a major conflict on or off of the forums. (Of course, I don't pry into their personal lives though). And if, for some strange reason, two mods do get into some kind of major conflict, I know for a FACT that our current staff is professional enough that it wouldn't spill onto the forums.

So if you guys ever do see the mods poking each other, you can be sure it's all in good fun.

Actually, not long after I was promoted, I made a joke about "abusing mod powers" and Sleet edited my post to say "I SMELL FUNNY." I've been secretly gathering an army of intelligent hamsters ever since and giving them tiny computers so one day, when no other mods are on, I can get them all to edit every single one of Sleet's posts to say "I SMELL FUNNY".

I can't call anyone smelly (truthfully), as I am in a place where I can't smell anyone. It is this magical place I like to call the interwebs, you can even surf on it without leaving your house.

It's funny because you've banned one person permanently. If ranked from most to least bans issued, it would be either me or Foxstar, then Rick, then you. I dunno what's wrong with everyone else. Maybe they're lazy!

For clarification, we do take abuse of permissions very seriously. It's impossible to stay mad at Sleet, though.

What's wrong is that you didn't make us globals so we don't have the power to ban anyone.

Dissension wrote: For clarification, we do take abuse of permissions very seriously. It's impossible to stay mad at Sleet, though.

^ He's right. All official mod actions, whether it's editing something, moving a topic, or deleting a post, are by default recorded and logged by the forums so anyone that was abusing their power would be caught very quickly. You'd be surprised also about how much we mods talk about things on Skype before taking any action. It's rare for any of us to act without consulting at least one of the other mods. You can be sure that we don't take the responsibility lightly and that we do care for you all and for the community here very much.

And yes, Sleet is far too fuzzy to be mad at.

JeffCvt wrote:I've been secretly gathering an army of intelligent hamsters ever since

It's not that secret, Jeff. The packages with air holes addressed to you that kept arriving in the mod post box kinda gave you away.

So all of the forum mods must be locally lazy then.

Guys, in reality all the mods stink.
in other news I can't seem to sleep tonight, so I will be lurking and waiting to add whitty banter to this chat.

You would too if you were a wild animal that doesn't get regular access to baths.

Nah, the forumites are just too well behaved. We really don't have to do much which is nice because for the most part we can enjoy the forums like any other user.

Excuse me but I shower at least once a month. I do not smell that bad most of the time.
