Congratulations to Stephistan and Cogitation, who have ascended to the ranks of GM!

They have performed excellent work as Forum Mods and fully deserve the promotion.

*applauds*

Congrats Steph, Cog, well earned and wisely bestowed. <claps>

*Applause*

Go mods! *waves hastily-made pendant with "Go Mods" on, stuck on a pencil*

Congrats to both for their excellent work. A day to celebrate the honor of being able to serve the NS community even more!

*cheers*

Wahey! :D

Ahh, I remember the days when stephhy was a n00b, and asking for a nuclear proliferation proposal.

Haha, what a n00b... *realizes she can now deat me* Err... umm... uhh... when I said n00b I meant.......

Please don't deat me... :cry:

*Waves signs with pictures of Steph and Cog from their n00b days*

YAY for the two of you :D

Congratulations to Cog and Steph. Be careful with those red buttons in the Mod Centre. You never know wh...

*dead silence*

Hooray for Steph.
Hopefully she's got a few good weeks in which to serve before she goes on maternity leave :wink:

And who could forget Cog :P
Maybe I'll actually get round to making those iDoStuff images for ya :wink:

Hurray!!

EDIT: Nope...I was wrong about Cog...but not steph

We were only talking about promotions earlier today. I didn't realize it would be this soon. :shock:

In any case, I'll try to be careful with the modbombs, :D because we wouldn't want to have any accid....

Yay for the new mods!

Now you'll need some new ones, like iDEAT.
(and I made ones for all the forum-mod buttons in that thread :evil:)

Congrats Steph and Cog!

Just 'cause the rest of us can't spell... :cry:

Is there no hazing to be going on after this promotion? (like there was when they first became forum mods)

Shame.

*Opens can of whipped cream, duct tape, and a razor blade*

Congratulations to Stephistan and Cogitation. You deserve much more, but that's what you've got. Perhaps now you'll get around to making SalusaSecondus a full mod, [Violet]?

On more serious matters, are there any Australian mods? There seems to be a gaping hole in the day, and an Australian mod might help fix that.

[violet] is Australian...of course, they don't do a lot of mod type stuff.

Perhaps now you'll get around to making SalusaSecondus a full mod, [Violet]?


I thought he said he didn't want to be...or didn't care about being...a "full" forum mod.

[violet] is Australian...of course, they don't do a lot of mod type stuff.

Yes, but are there any mods on now? Here in Australia, it's 1:37 in the afternoon.

I was gonna ask how to become a mod, and I wanted to become one...
Can any of you answer me on how to? :(

*Raises hand*

One born-and-bred Aussie here. Been a bit busy of late and hampered by a very slow internet connection, but from the start of next month I'll be around here during the daylight hours (Australian time) as well as whenever else.

I was gonna ask how to become a mod, and I wanted to become one...
Can any of you answer me on how to? :(

Don't ask to be one...and don't show any emotion to any other nation which could be seen as "mean" or "insulting" to nations that only reside within the mod and tech forums seeking out possible flamers and pretending to be moderators

:wink:

OK...I can do that...
But who are the flamers??? I've never really payed attention to them, and if I'd have know how to alert you, I'd have done that...

Alert me? I'm flattered...but...unfortunately not a mod. Flamers, by definition, are anyone who posts insults directed at anything or everything time and again. Read all the FAQ's for more information.

OK...I knew who flamers were but wanted to make sure, but how do you become a mod???

The first step is reading the sticky at the top of this very forum. ;)

Uh....like I said...the biggest thing is not to ask. If you're good enough...and are in with the right crowd...you'll become one....be it that mods are needed at that time

Already read that, but who's the right crowd??? :(

Lol...well...no...I should shut my mouth. That's more of a personal opinion. Don't seek out mods and bother them by trying to be super-friendly...

Now please...lets get this topic back on the celebration 8)

:Lol: Just saying that there are no mods later in the day down here. Still, you might be right.

Of course, since down here school is over, there might be more people around willing to be, or able to be, mods.

Lol...well...no...I should shut my mouth. That's more of a personal opinion. Don't seek out mods and bother them by trying to be super-friendly...

Now please...lets get this topic back on the celebration 8)
Thanks for your help!!! :D
*Commences celebrating*

Already read that, but who's the right crowd??? :(

Just don't reply to anyone who is consistently mean or insulting and you should be fine.

Remember, if someone insults you, don't insult them back. Around here, you can't get in trouble if you don't open your mouth. :wink:

For the most part, don't count on becoming a mod; the chances of any particular person becoming a mod are very small. There are about 16 moderators (I think) and over 10,000 users. You can help people without being a moderator; just be knowledgable about how the game and the forums work ad try to help people with their problems (except those problems where a moderator is specifically required to address a specific situation). Be helpful for the sake of being helpful; don't be helpful for the sake of being noticed.

A minor correction to Cog's post, there may well be 10,000 Forum users, but 30,000 individual players, if the UN count is anything to go by. And only 16 individuals who out of curiousity took the red pill rather than the blue, stand between disorder and chaos . . .

The blue pill rather than the red? :roll:

Perhaps I took the purple pill...a combination of the two...

No not nexium! :wink:

Well...you probably would have a better chance of getting into college now-a-days being a hispanic female :roll:

Good Job!!! :D

Of course Tactical Grace and Sirocco have beeen working just as hard, just for about a month less, so I wonder if we'll see them become GMs in a month or so. :P

You know when I saw the date, until I noticed that it was posted by [violet] (I had just logged on and saw it on the sidebar) I thought that somebody had grave-dug an old thread.

*awaits steph's first game-mod action* :P

Really? It will probably be in the form of getting to that task list, which I hope will make some of you very happy... I am not starting till tomorrow though.. I'm going to let Neut show me the ropes.. He's my hero! ;)

Many congrats to Steph and Cog.

May your DEATs be merry and bright. lol
