The first one is above in poll form. The second is this:

How do moderators become moderators. Is it automatic i.e make so many posts or have a certain population et cetera? Do the mods themselves decide who joins the fold? Is there a lottery? Are there elections, where people nominate who they want, the mods approve maybe 10 of them and ask people to vote?
(If the last one is true I nominate Drunk Commies Reborn. :D )

They go to San Francisco and perform in the circus for 6 weeks before being dubbed "mod of NS"

I don't think the mods will, however. Shame.

Wow, nobody's responded to trolling. We all know someone who does it, why don't they just admit it?

They're our only entertainment. It's either this or making people run around in circles in debates. And I don't like to use this muscle I call a brain.

It conjugates something like this:

I stimulate discussion through oblique comments
You make less than constructive comments

Hmm, most odd. I suspected a lot more people to select "Role-playing", considering how many role-playing threads there are.

Never knew that. Mainly because I don't role-play. Outside the bedroom...

Yay! Someone admitted to trolling!

Acceptance is the first stage towards the cure.

Now, DON'T FEED HIM! or her.

Wow, I never knew so many other people worked for Intelligence Services. 35.71% of NationStates. Now the next question is, "What Intelligence Service do you work for?" :) (I work for the RIA. ;) (Yes, that's an "R". We are planning to help the NS nation of "Vineyard" take over the world.;))

I debate, post and make friends here on the NS forums. Very rarely have I role-played, I just don't have the time or the patienence to follow those types of threads as much as I do the rare fiery debate.

My thoughts exactly.
The idea of roleplay seems a bit silly to me, i'm all for making diplomatic statements between each other but role playing war or something like that is something i could not get into or follow, seems a bit sad to me (not meaning to offend the RP'ers)
