The OOC Hangout Thread (New people introduce yourself here!)

[Tanakietsu]

*shows off* I think it's made of gold.

I also have spikes extruding from my skull.

 

[Magni Prime]

I don't dare take any moral high-ground. We are equals, and thus playful ribbing is expected. The only difference between him and me is the possession of the Banhammer. wink

EDIT: Watching copious amounts of Optimus Prime on youtube makes me realize that I am but a shade of the leader he is.  

[Tanakietsu]

*looks around*

I have no power in the guild, my opinion is s**t compared to the two mods (one on vacation), a young child with power that she doesn't use, and the captain.

 

[Magni Prime]

Your opinion carries weight, old friend . . . more than once the thought of resuming your role amongst the Mods has been brought up. We listen to your words more than you might think. wink The promotion doesn't come because of thoughts of retaliation by the populace here- cries of favoritism, preferential treatment, and unfairness in promotion. The Refuge must be respected as a whole, not just as a place.  

[Tanakietsu]

On a different note, I hadn't asked for the job but like, months back as jest. The mods, when they're here, are more than enough for the guild.

What I'm merely telling you, is that you are in short supply of moderators and you might want to think of getting some temps until at least one comes back.

I already know the effects of my returning to power would be, and I entirely address the issue of me being back as a negative thing.

 

[Magni Prime]

That is a topic the remaining mods and I have been examining, believe me. As for your return, many think it would be a good thing, but to be honest. . . it ain't gonna happen. The power differential would be awkward and I need my team to work well together.

We do listen to you, though, Tana. 3nodding  

[Tanakietsu]

Remaining mods? A two person conversation, brilliant.

If you didn't get this: I don't want to be a mod. I just don't want to have to tell mods if something is going awry, breaking the rules, et cetera.

The only thing I want, guild related right now, is for the entire damn guild to wisen up to what the index could mean for the guild. It's for the better of the damn guild if guild members themselves step up and take responsibility for the betterment of all of us. I'd even offer to help if I didn't already think Kiki is more than competent for the job.

-Oh, and perhaps the continuation of avatar contests, I missed out on its entirety and I wouldn't mind either competing or hosting one.

On an unrelated note, that damn subbie of yours drives me nuts with curiosity.

stare Ahhh . . . now you get righteous. There are more than you think, and the moment anything is brought to any of our attention, it is taken care of. Your finding it first doesn't mean we are doing a bad job, just means that something didn't get seen before you. Back off.

Tanakietsu

If you didn't get this: I don't want to be a mod. I just don't want to have to tell mods if something is going awry, breaking the rules, et cetera.

If you didn't get it, you are not going to BE a mod. You are respected, but not going to be let in under any circumstances, so don't be too worried. See above for answer to your rant.

I cannot enforce a way of thinking, and was the one to approve ultimately of Kiki's idea. If it turns out half as good as it appears to be, I will gladly sticky it for everybody to see. The only reason I didn't immediately do so was to prevent anything of poorer quality from getting official standing. I respect and like Kiki, but she was an unknown going into this, so I was reserved. As for the members, I allow them to make up their own damned minds, as it was when I joined this place. THAT is one of the Refuge's strengths and what makes it one of the last places of Gaia worth a damn anymore.

Kyouske started it, I merely kept it for it is a worthy place to discuss things openly without the enclave of Refugees influencing our discussion. That is what this thread is for.  

[Skreemer]

wooo. heated debate. Means I cant heckle Tana over the lack of reply in PS.  

[Magni Prime]

Not likely a good time, Skreemer, but given Tana's abilities, he could likely argue with me and make a decent post there at the same time.  

[Tanakietsu]

This would have gone a whole lot smoother if we could get a room and duke it out.

Certainly I see your points as valid, #1 - I was getting ahead of myself. #2, blah blah blah, the same side seen on both ends.

#3 You cannot enforce people to read it, nor will it be stickied unless pending trial. Great, a losing battle for action. It's not my fight, I'll back off only for that. I still feel strongly about this - mind you.

#4 Erm, I wasn't questioning the subbie, at any means.

My tirades will not end, nor should they be expected to.

Given my abilities? Talon, you're giving me way to much credit on that note.

 

[Magni Prime]

So on every front, we respect each other's opinions . . . disagree . . . and recognize the fact that we feel strongly about it. We both want what is best for the guild, and I am fine leaving it at that. Just don't think that I am taking a laid back approach to it.  

[Disturbing Tale Teller]

*munches on peppermints and watches*  

[Tanakietsu]

Wrong, on the priciple of the first, I, in a sense apologized.

The second, we both agree.

The index - highly arguable.

Subbie - I don't even care, I just said it makes me curious as it says "where we talk about you behind your back".
