Please welcome our new moderators!

[Mindi]

Please join me in welcoming our 3 new moderators for the Dominions 3 forum: lch, Ballbarian and llamabeast

Welcome aboard guys!

-Mindi

[Edi]

Welcome, guys! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Or should that be condolences? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Agrajag]

All hail the new moderators!

So is this going to start a war for the ascension of the ultimate moderator? What is everyone's moderator build? I don't want to get stuck under a moderator with Turmoil-3 or Death-3.

[Amhazair]

Well, I dunno... Order 3 could be just as bad as turmoil if badly combined. Imagine the sudden end of all creative thought as an Order-3 Drain-3 moderator starts enforcing his point of view. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Edi]

No turmoil here. Order 3, Production 3, Growth 2, Heat 1, Luck 0, Magic 0 are the scales with me. The recent disturbances were probably the result of a bad event in the province that temporarily increased turmoil and misfortune. My dominion is strong, but I'm afraid it will shrink with all the new arrivals (not really a bad thing). The magic is sort of all over the place, bits of this and bits of that...

I have no idea of the other scales of my new rivals, but Productivity 1-2 at the least, Ballbarian and Ich both have at least Magic 2 (code wizardry). Llamabeast definitely has Order, but so do the others in all probability.

I think Edi has Turmoil 3, and perhaps some Heat. He must have Magic 3 as well, otherwise a dragon couldn't keep the database up with the patches. I'm not sure about Death. Has anyone seen Gandalf lately? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Edi]

More like I have Order 3, otherwise the lists wouldn't stay in order, but perhaps I have Misfortne 3, which keeps piling up the baleful star and brigand events, which increase unrest? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Gandalf has been hit by the misfortune scales and is sorting that out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Oohhh, new buttons! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm not sure, but I'd say that my build has high Order, Sloth and Magic. Maybe a little Death and Cold. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Salamander8]

Congrats to you folks! Be glad it's here at Shrapnel and not in the WoW or AoC forums!

[Edratman]

Congratulations to one and all. This is a great forum, worthy of a great game and that is a major tradition to uphold.

There are enough moderators for a MP game amongst themselves now. To make it interesting, they should all play the same nation, may the best moderator win.

[hunt11]

now that would be fun to watch, everybody would chose a nation that best represents themselves, and just watch the fireworks fly

[Xietor]

Great News!

Very helpful People one and all!

The Board should be even better!

[Sombre]

What no love for Sombre? ;]

You guys are lucky to be moderating a forum that doesn't need much. I was briefly the moderator of a general gaming off-topic forum and it was a total pain in the ***.

I don't plan to exert the moderating privileges much, no. Not unless there's a case of emergency, at least. I was thinking about de-stickying old, outdated stickies and moving threads between the Mods&Maps forum and the other two where they would be more appropriate, but fortunately I'm not trigger-happy.

Not different nations, they all play MA Ermor, or whichever one they choose. That would be a true test.

We could even take bets. Parimutual type.

[MaxWilson]

This is the most hilarious moderator thread I have ever read.

[llamabeast]

I believe I have order 3, heat 0, luck 2, and can surely claim magic 2 for the LlamaServer. My production scale fluctuates wildly from sloth-3 to production-3 (although much of the sloth-3 is manifested in my PhD!). I'm not quite sure what Growth represents. I'm not especially tall. Think I will go with Growth-0.

[QXel]

Welcome!

Erh ...

In fact, you're allready been here for a long time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

So, congratulations for your Ascension.

May this forum last Forever.

Question for Mindi:

Are new moderators recruitable or do you have to summon them?

I'm guessing a summons. A bit of research is required, and no gold is exchanged.

[MaxWilson]

I think they're reanimated. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Kristoffer O]

A wish might also grant a moderator http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I think that's what has happened here. Normally my price would include a gross of blood slaves at least, but it seems that I was tricked into service, being summoned by a Wish instead. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

"All I asked for was 144 young virgins, and you get me..... a pearl necklace? ..... Can I go home now?"

[Sombre]

They were actually just domsummoned by a lowly bog beast.

[Chacal]

Need we GOR them ? I have no gems left...

[Zenzei]

Hmm, all moderators seem to have mad scales, did noone opt for bless strategy?

[WraithLord]

Welcome moderators, may dom threads prosper under your domain. I hope you'll avoid an ascension war http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Wait, wait, wait... Edi dont you live in Finland? I think that means you have to take Cold-2 for your nation preference.

[Ironhawk]

I, for one, welcome our new moderator overlords. May your reigns be long and fruitful, punctuated by only rare summary executions!

The cold is due to Santa Claus' dominion, but I think Edi's trying to dominion kill him. Father Frost is currently otherwise occupied. I think he's casting a global or something, he's always wearing that Robe of the Archmagi.

[Ballbarian]

What no love for Sombre? ;]


I love ya Sombre! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Hmmm... my scales might take some thought. I guess I must be a dormant pretender who has wasted his extra points on a box of chocolate chip cookies. My scales are likely turmoil 2 (thanks to work & kids), productivity 1 (due to forgetting to sleep sometimes), cold 1 (because I prefer winter over sweaty summers), growth 1 (because my clothes seem to be getting tighter ever since I got a desk job), misfortune 3 (don't ask http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif), magic 2 (for being a jack of all trades and master of none, plus there must have been some magic involved or some R'lyeh dominion for someone to consider making me a moderator.)

Imprisonment seems appropriate given the job description. I mean, have you ever _seen_ Ich, Llamabeast, or Ballbarian? That's because they haven't yet broken free from imprisonment. We just get these little notes from them from time to time.

gratz pplz (or condolances since it's just more responsibilities and less fun)

The heat was for his heated personality. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Maybe you could point out to your supervisor that, as a PhD candidate, a sloth scale will actually improve your research output http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I remember running and arguement something like that with my long suffering, now largely, ex-supervisor. He remains unconvinced.

[PashaDawg]

Welcome! I like that sassy new symbol next to your name. It's like a badge or something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[HoneyBadger]

Well, I'm glad to see there's more people around to complain to and borrow money from, not to mention blame every little thing on >:P

Congratulations! Couldn't happen to a likelier bunch of suck...er, nicer bunch of gents! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

So if you have unruly trolls to fight,
Or need help with your new nation,
When the posts just aren't rational,
Or won't stay in their assigned location,
If the bugs won't let you sleep at night,
Or with the board you have no patience,
Just remember what the Bible says...
All things in moderation!

Congratulations Ich, Ballbarian, and Llamabeast!

[DonCorazon]

Cheers to the new moderators http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/beerglass.gif
May all your ups and downs occur in the bed!

[Cerlin]

Yes congratulations! You are all fun members of the community and I for one am happy to have you all as princes of the dominions land.
