NationStates Jolt Archive

No no, I haven't lost my mind and started RPing in the Moderation forum. What I have done, however, is temporarily stepped down from being a Mod.

Every year, I try to re-assess where I'm heading in life. This year, it seems as though NS will need to take a back seat to other objectives. Being a person who sets high standards for his work, I cannot in good conscience continue to moderate here while I focus on other projects.
Hopefully, this absence will only last a few months while I work out where I'm going. It'll be weird, though, not logging on to NS and having my name in green anymore.
I guess that what finally tipped me towards this decision was the JARROS business. Not only did arguing with him leave me drained, it also caused me to have a much shorter temper off-line. As I'm sure you can all agree, this online universe we have here is great fun, but it can't intrude that far into the off-line world.

I'll still be around on NS, though. Chances are that I won't visit the forums all that much, but you can drop me a telegram any old time. If you're especially nice, I might even give you my Email address.

So, until we next meet.

Enodia

I hope all goes well, and I hope you don't disappear. I shudder to think of another JARROS-like incident without you here to beat sense into all present.

I can understand you there, it's always best not to let things on a game affect your personal life too much.
I wish you good luck in finding new direction purpose in life, and I hope you can get back to being a mod soon :)

Best of luck to you in the real world, my friend. You were a great mod, and I hope to see you back in Modding soon. I'll miss you. Don't forget us when you're in real life! :)

What can I say that hasn't all ready been said?

Have fun. Relax. It'll be great to have you back afterwards. :)

I dread [violet] seeing this thread. She's still in denial over SLAG.

Wow. Good luck, Enodia! Very understandable. Have a good break from modding, and Happy New Year. We'll be happy to welcome you back to Modhood upon your return. Hope we'll still see you around in your civilian clothes. :)

Great. Now I have to pull UN Proposal patrols, now. :P

Good Luck, Enodia. :)

:lol: just kidding

ditto what has been said ;)

You must tell us what life is like on...the other side. :shock:

Awwww good luck to you Enodia! You'll still be green though won't you? Slag's still shows up as green on my screen when he is on. Or maybe mods see something different when they log on and I am just babbling about something I know nothing about...lol. Anyway...again, good luck.

You must tell us what life is like on...the other side. :shock:

You mean in real life?

Okay, you need to spend some time away from this game. :P

I'll miss you as a moderator Enodia.

I've alway found you to be the most accessable mod.

Still, I'm glad that you are doing what is best for you, and I hope that you come back when you feel less stressed.

You wouldn't. :P :twisted:

This thread marks the beginning of a whole string of "Can I be a Mod?" threads.

I hate when that happens.

Also, sorry to see you go. Good luck and happy new year.

Cure for "Can I be a mod?" threads = modbomb :twisted:

Pretty please mods? :)

Happy New Year, good luck, and feel better!

*sigh* :cry:

Hate to see you leave, Enodia, even if it is just temporary. I'm more glad than ever that I'm no longer a Delegate and don't have to go through the dreaded proposal list.

I'm considering trying to get Canada-Germany's permission to put an entry in the factbook asking that everybody endorse him.

I'd just resign this nation from he UN if it wasn;t that the next delegate would be both weaker (I'm the only one with every UN meber in the region endorsing me) and L.i.e.

Great. Now I have to pull UN Proposal patrols, now. :P

Good Luck, Enodia. :)

Hmm, Why do I get the idea that 'life' for the idiot proposal just got a bit harder? :)

The question that remains is:

Does Cog accept reports of inappropriate proposals by telegram?

He's always been prompt in my Getting Help UN reports.

I'd have thought Stephistan would be the best UN mod replacement...

She gave up on the UN Forum and moved to General.

I don't blame her in the least.

She's still the secretary-general :wink:

*tips hat to Enodia*

Hope life treats you well.

Slag... Enodia... it's all falling into place. Soon there won't be any mods left and I can assume complete and utter power over Nationstates. well, except for [violet] and maybe [dread].... wait... there is [reploidproductions]... crapshite. I'll just become an administrator and then assume absolute power... don't really know how though.

/incoherent, evil ramblings

With the hopefully only temporary departure of our great UN mod Enodia.. I will pick up some of the slack though rest assured. It probably won't be until after the baby is here though. I have cut my moderation duties by quite a bit until after the baby is born.

However, I do believe I understand the UN better then any one else except for Enodia and would be remise if I didn't help out. So, you will still be able to count on me.

As well, please feel free to send me telegrams with proposals you wish me to take a look at. I don't mind. I will try to become close to as great a UN mod that Enodia was/is.

My true hope is that Enodia has a nice needed break and decides to return to us soon. Losing him is a great loss to the mod squad and to all of the players of NS.

Stephanie.

Bye bye Enodia! I'll miss you. You should go on vacation or something. I hear Aruba is nice this time of year.

Glory to Steffie Annan!

Ok, I feel bad. On Enodia's departure thread, page 2, we're already talking about his replacement... :oops:

Slag's gone?

Wow.

So why isn't [mantle] gone?

A life, cool! Where can I download one of those?

You don't want one.

I hear that they cause you to be away from the computer for whole minutes at a time.

I recall one day, in my distant memory, when I had to do something called "sleep."

It involves something called "dreams" in which infamous ex-nations are mods. And it lasts for hours that was the worst idea that the nice person in the white suit ever had.

I have a recurring nightmare the n00bs will one day win by getting a n00b on the mod team and destroying everything before we can react. :shock: THE HORROR!!!

The fact that you have a recurring nightmare about NS should say something to you.

That he's too addicted to it?

Funny thing, so am I. Wouldn't you say the same for most people on here? I know NS has taken over my life :P

The fact that you have a recurring nightmare about NS should say something to you.
You mean that it's not normal? :?

<---- Is not really joking.

I had a nightmare about NS. Once. And yes it was about the n00bs taking over. :oops:

I had a nightmare about NS. Once. And yes it was about the n00bs taking over. :oops:
Only once?

I have them almost every night. Things like JARROS as admin, and Klamath and as a mod. And no, this is not a joke.

I'm glad I don't. Such dreams would wake me up sweating, and feeling nauseated. :o

Heh. That's pretty freaky. The only NS related dream I ever have is living in my nation, but not as leader. I get taken away to a re-education center after I get caught listening to a prohibited musician and I try to escape.

I dreamt that I became delegate of the Pacific.

Don't ask, lol... I don't even want that region. NS totally has taken over my life, not to mention the fact that it's 2 AM and I have to be at work at 8 AM... today.

I'll miss you Enodia - hope we can still have our chats tho!

I'lll miss you too, I haven't seen you alot, but that might be because I mostly visit II and NS.

Actualy, I have dreams about my nation all the time, In one,I was my nations leader (General Theallas, you know, the insane mad man), in another I was a citizen of Menelmacar, in the last one, I was a citizen of Knootoss during the Shadow War and the shelling of Der Hague

Tis a sad day indeed

This is indeed a sad day. You have a way of being reasonable that should be emulated throughout the Mod-squad. I respect your decission and wish you all the best in getting your life back on track. If I can be of any assistance, in any way, all you need to do is ask.
