But seriously. I think that Kat is the coolest, just because of the uber cute avatar..me gusta!

yes i do.

i like tactical grace, kataganistan and melkor unchained. tg and kat are well-informed, good posters who do a good job as moderator

melkor (i havent seen him in ages, is he still on here?) makes me laugh with his incredible condescending ego. i imagine him sitting smugly at his computer smoking cigarettes as he plans exactly how to evicerate the fool who disagreed with him.

TG is alright too. I like his posts, because he is well informed, but sometimes I do think he has a problem with power. Umm Let's see...I haven't seen Melkor in a while..he was cool, plus lets not forget the most glorious hack.. I love that guy(gal?)

Well, Tactical Grace and Katganistan are the only ones I've ever seen much of on any of these forums, so I'm drawing my experience from them. And yeah, they're good mods. Good debaters, too. Tactical Grace convinced me on the benefits of nuclear power in Britain, and although I don't think I've ever posted in the same threads as Katganistan before, she seems to have some good points. And GMC Military Arms is pretty cool, too. Overall, no complaints.

I like all of the mods well enough, but I suspect one of them is a bit ill-suited for the job. Making highly antagonistic posts & then threatning with mod action when an opponent responds in kind, is not a desirable trait in a moderator, I think.

Yep. Mods seem chill. And Tactical Grace and Katganistan (the only mods I have seen in debate) both seem very good debators to me, though I may not agree with their ideas. At all.

I appreciate their hard work. I mean, I can't imagine what a bitch it must be to attempt to moderate NSG!! I'd just give up.


Thank you to all the mods who have made this forum the horrific brute of a monster it is today!

He's addicted to Guild Wars, where he spends most of his time (aside from work and whatnot). I should be on Guild Wars, too, but I'm stuck on 56k at the moment, so that's out... Meh.

Along with Melkor, the other mods I respect, present and former, are as follows: Tactical Grace, Katganistan, Steph, and Myrth (he was the best jackass ever).

I like all the mods with whom I've had contact (outside the essentially anonymous "NationStates Moderators" TGs). I spend most of my time in the UN forum, so most of my mod contact has been with Hack and Fris, both of whom I like immensely.

I like most of the Mods, and I appreciate how they put up with my frequent questionings.

Kat is brilliant and sweet and knows her shit. We have a lot in common, too. :fluffle:

Euro is a good RPer, stickymaster, and damn nice guy.

Cog is just...I think he's the epitome of a Moderator and a jolly good fellow, basically.

Fris is a good RPer, has a fantastic sense of humor and fair play, and I wish I could chat with him more often. Get on AIM sometimes, ya old bastard. :fluffle:

Hack is another good RPer, and I liked his stuff so much that I specifically invited him to participate in a sequel of an earlier RP he participated in with me, which is not something I have done previously. He's also a great Game Mod and I've enjoyed hanging out and joking with him in the UN forum and UN DEFCON. Hack is just a cool guy, when it comes down to it. :fluffle:

TG is someone whose consistency and knowledge I admire from watching him in the General debates (and perhaps crossing swords with him myself once or twice over the years) and seeing his Moderator actions in the Mod forum. Another cool guy.

TJHairball and GMC have both made me laugh on more than one occasion, and I respect them, but I don't interact with them much.

Rep Prod... *goes starry-eyed* ...she is a fantastic writer and roleplayer, and a damn good Mod/Forum Admin. She is also funny and sweet, from what I've seen.

Sirocco is a very funny and nice guy, and is a kick-ass issue editor.

Melkor...ah...a great RPer and lover of philosophy. Has a great sense of humor too. I wish he'd come around more.

Scolo is consistent and fair, and I have a lot of respect for him. I think he's the one who gave me my warning back in the day, actually.

Erastide is a sweetheart! And she's such a helpful and fair Mod. Gotta love 'er. :fluffle:

Tsaraine is a good RPer and a good forum Mod, and a nice guy to boot.

I could go on, but my computer access is about to go, so adieu.

And from the little interaction I've had with Kat and Erastide, I can understand why you busted out the fluffles, HR. ;)
Dobbsworld
23-07-2006, 16:23
I like Tactical Grace. There's a lot of people on NSG who give him undue amounts of flack, but I find him to be consistently thoughtful and witty. I think TG was at loose ends when he wasn't a mod, though - even though he seemed to have more opportunity to have, y'know, fun and stuff.

Katganistan I tend to think of more often than not as a great conciliator. She's always exhorting us to have group hugs and all.

Frisbeeteria is more prickly. Much more prickly.

Hack cuts to the chase and dispenses with the bullshit when dealing with things.

I don't have a bead on Erastide. Ditto For GMC.
