some sections hardly require modding, and some, like general and misc, need far more than 2 mods...J.S. wrote:Applications to be in the mod team should ONLY be made to Forum (Admin Jason)
the one making appointments is Agapooka, as he is the head admin for the forum... Forum has said agapooka is the one to make appointments...J.S. wrote:4 Forum Admins (ideally who would cover 6 hours of a timezone)

all mods need some overlapping, also, there are very few that can cover 4 hours, or for that matter 6 hours, in a row...

Dude, the Respect Group is open to EVERYONE, all you had to do to join was look up the group and click the join button..........
I'm not a member of said group but I see the good in it
Now as for the rules, I agree with J.S. some of em are just rediculous and they are way to touchy feely and P.C. oriented for my taste, though I still follow the rules none-the-less I'd prefer if they weren't so "sensitive"

J.S. wrote:Ok didn't know it was an open group nonetheless, still pure ****** what makes the "respect" group different from evryone else???? We all do the same thing at the end of the day and when we are on the toilet.. So what bloody difference does it make??
Jack wrote:The idea for the color (which I'm sure is what you're talking about) was not to set people apart but to try and entice others to join the Respect group and become more respectful as a poster
Basically a bribe to be more respectful to others
Though yes it was a bad idea the motivation was pure

go right ahead ... if you can
Ok, you asked for it. Prepare for pwnage...GameLog wrote:As with all battles, this one has been recorded for the official history of your realm. You, of course, are the first to know the results as they are reported directly to you first. This is the official report of the battle:
The fleets of RobinInDaHood invaded the planet Delvia6 in the realm of jtest!
RobinInDaHood sent:
43,000 Nano-AI Cruiser Squadran
jtest's planet Delvia6 resisted the aggressors with:
1,327,000 planet ground based defence facilities.
In a fury, the two opposing forces clash!
Silence. Nothing. I quickly review my sub-space scanners, weapon monitors, and ship's logs. We fired all volleys, every pilot in every ship had been briefed, and even had a map to the planet with a big red X marking the location. What had happened?
"We're being hailed, Captain", announced #3. (he is actually second in command but I call him #3 because it annoys him and he's overly sensitive).
"On speaker, #3!", I replied.
"Greeting and salutations, RobinInDaHood. This is the Nox operator speaking. We regret to inform you that the attack you just launched has been suspended due to an application on file for a Personal Protection Treaty.", came the reply.
"What? I checked with Nox Central Command before I bothered with preparations to leave the home world. You think I'd go to the hassle of dragging 43,000 pilots out of bed and drawing all those maps if I wasn't sure this would be allowed? When does the PPT end?", I fumed.
"As you know, we cannot revel the termination time of our customer's contract due to confidentiality issues. However, we are permitted to tell you that this particular customer has had a contract in effect since the early part of Earth year 2005.", said the Nox Operator.
"That's over 2 years! According to the terms and conditions section of my last PPT (sounds of shuffling papers heard), the term is supposed to last 2 days, not 2 years! This PPT should have ended a long time ago!", I raged at the Nox operator.
"Yes sir, that normally is our policy. However, this particular customer seems to have an addendum to their policy which permits longer duration contracts. I'm afraid there is nothing more I can do to help you.", replied the Nox.
"How about now?", I smiled faintly. "Activate transporter", I whispered to #3.
"Hello Sir. While I can certainly appreciate the rather enormous pile of naq I see has suddenly appeared on our transporter platform, I must inform you that we are not permitted to accept 'donations' and I cannot change the duration of our customer's PPT.", came the surprised response.
"So you're telling me that you cannot allow even a single attack when I'm willing to contribute so much to your children's happy Christmas fund?", came my exasperated tone.
"No Sir, I'm afraid I cannot help you at this time.", said Nox.
"Well fine! I guess I'll call everyone back and try to forget about all the time I spent on those maps. The Nox is really ruining the galaxy for everyone, you know. I realize that's not your problem but you should pass along to your supervisor that I'm really annoyed. Will you transport back the naq I sent over, please?", I said coldly.
"I'm sorry Sir, but there seems to be a problem with our transporters at this time."
So Jason, it seems you've won this round. I don't know how or what you did to convice the Nox to protect you so long but they won't budge. I'll be watching you closely, however. Be afraid, be very afraid.
