Are you angry because there are no spears in Skyrim?

I want answers from ALL of you!!!

Please...

Twenty I believe


1. Interested? Yes. But there aren't any such opportunities where I live and moving isn't an option at the moment.

2. I have no clue, but it was a lot because I had a merchant added with 60k available.

3. No preference.

4. 60 gb I think, and at the moment I believe I have 20gb free - I should really go through and uninstall some old games.

5. ?

6. I don't mind it, but I don't spend much time on it.


1. Probably mozzarella or ricotta. I know these are sort of low brow cheeses but they're a wonderful addition to a lot of meals. In the last thread when I answered the "if you could only eat one cheese what would it be" I chose scamorza, which is another fantastic cheese but not only I can get often.

2. I don't drink alcoholic beverages.

3. Sparkling lemonade.


1. If we asked to go I'm sure they'd love to have us, but I don't believe any of the mods are close to QuakeCon. There was a standing invintation for E3 tickets once but I don't believe any of us were able to go. I've never met any of the devs in person. Leydenne is the only mod who has met me.

2. The newest mods are Falchya, Greenwarden, and Nu_clear_day. I am the longest serving mod, my nine year anniversary is at the end of August.

3. At what?


English. I took several years of Modern Standard Arabic in college but I was never fluent.


1. I've never read Harry Potter, I'm not a big fan of contemporary fantasy. I have read the first two books of the Twilight series, several summers ago my wife was having serious migraine problems and I'd read young advlt novels to her. After exhausting our collection of Diana Wynne Jones someone suggested this new vampire series. The first one didn't do much for me, the second I really didn't like.

2. gharials


1. This is a fun story. So back when I was a fairly new member there was little active forum moderation - in fact Pete may have been the sole admin at the time, and the only moderator was "Bethesda," an account I'm not sure was ever used. Anyway, during this time its also important to note that a thread OP could delete the entire thread by removing their OP.

Someone created a thread with an exceptionally long subject line and it trashed the forum formatting. However the OP refused to delete it because there was an interesting conversation about Tolkien in it, so this thread remained and it was generally on the front page. Since going to the moderators to get the thread title truncated wasn't really an option I decided to repost the entire thread with a shorter subject line. I didn't know if exceptionally long posts were acceptable, or if they'd corrupt the forum database, so I reposted everything individually.

Rather than being applauded for fixing the problem, and letting the old OP delete the original thread, the conversation revolved entirely around me spamming to get my post count up. My thread was locked, although I wasn't contacted and there were no reprocussions.

2. No clue, probably on the low end actually. There are many ways we have for tracking rejoined members, some technical and some not.

3. Probably Morrowind or Fallout 3.


No, the tag is a full replacement, there is no way to check and see what the profanity originally was.


Nope.

I don't believe there are any mods in a relationship together, however when I first joined Facebook I almost ended up married to Freddo.


The lack of spears and crossbows doesn't faze . . . fase? Arg, my in-laws' computer doesn't have a spell-check integrated into the internet browser - this isn't good for me. Anyway, I don't care either way, and it's worth noting that I used both quite a bit in Morrowind. In fact a crossbow weilding mage is downright awesome in my book, but I'm OK not having that option in the game.

3 questions guys.

Have the mods ever had a get together in real life?

Have you guys been able to meet the staff of Bethesda?

And do you know of any people who became couples on this site?

Sookie Stackhouse

The original of my avatar is insisting that I answer, "Cats". The other three non-avatars agree. So my answer is "Cats".

My day job now is cataloging books, av material, and electronic books for a community college library system. So basically I work on a computer all day, then I come home and, after feeding the cats, I play on a computer for at least an hour or two at night.

Can a mod see through the [censored] tags? No. I believe though there is one of the old replacements still around. If "Please continue my good sir" shows up, we know what you typed, but that's because we remember what the censor replaced.

Spears in Skyrim; no, I don't think it bothers me that much. I only ever collected them in Morrowind and Bloodmoon. I'm far more interested in how they are handling the bows.

Edam, and havarti for eating and sandwiches, fontina if I'm making cheese soup, Amish pepper cheese for a change of pace.

Beer; Lionhead mostly.

Pc. I just upgraded for Skyrim and anything else coming out in the next several years....

Not fond of either Prince or MJ, actually. If I had to choose one, I guess I'd pick MJ, just because of Vincent Price.

My other favorite studio used to be Bioware. Not now though. Between ME2 and DA2, I'll wait for reviews before deciding whether to get a game or not.

Elder Scrolls; while I do like Dragon Age: Origins quite a bit, there were some really aggravating moments for anyone who is used to Bethesda's open world "If you can see a place you can probably get there" games.

This. I really like Dragon Age: Origins, but I'm spoiled by Beth. Nothing else feels as immersive , for the simple fact I really can go in just about every building.

(How do you spell immersive? Is it even a word? I've been changing the spelling to see if my spell checker will pick it up, but no luck)

Back in college, I minored in game design - but nothing's really ever come of it. Life has a way of making other plans, but you never know...

Red-heads. But my wife is brunette. So I mean brunettes, obviously.

I've moved around a lot in the past decade - most of my older friends don't live anywhere near me. Facebook is actually our primary means of keeping in touch on a regular basis. So good.

Harry Potter. But I've read all of the Twilight books (my wife kind of made, and I didn't have anything else to read for awhile.) So that doesn't bug me as much as it does other people (once you realize that you're not in the target audience, it's easier to understand why it's not appealing - there's an obvious market for supernatural romance novels; and I can't really hold it against Stephenie Meyer if she's thus far the best example of that niche...)

Fallout.

Actually, today was my last day at my job. I used to do support and backroom logistics at a grocery store here on the island. But we've decided that it's best for me to stay at home with my infant son. Hopefully this might eventually give me some time to work towards working from home, as well - which has always been the long-term goal (my wife's in the military, so what with moving every four years, it's kind of difficult to settle on a real long-term career otherwise.)

Both

Prince

Bioware. I actually tend to find their games more "immersive" than Bethesda's, personally. I prefer a bit more of a cinematic approach to my single-player videogame RPGs. I used to do a lot of IRC role-playing way back in the day - so I've sort of gotten the whole "open" thing out of my system by this point.

X-Com. (Don't even get me started on this new remake... :shakehead: )

What was your first job?

If you weren't a moderator today, would you still be on these forums?

I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but I was wondering how you became mods. Is there a specific way, or is it just people who are active and helpful. I'm not asking because I want to be a mod or anything. I'm just curios.

If you could change the [censored] tags with more word specific phrases i.e. s*** becoming [s'wit] instead of just [censored], what replacment words/phrases would you use?

One more thing I just need to know:

Who killed Kennedy?

Do any of you play CoD?

I'm not sure about the best recipe I've made. There have been a lot of good ones and bad ones. I do a mean shrimp scampi though.

I don't deprive myself of sleep these days so 10 hours or so I guess. Which is far too much time in one day but I did it 10 hours a day for days and days, weeks and weeks.

I'm not sure why but if someone wants to know I answer if I can and it's not too personal. And it gives me something to do when I ave a few minutes between checking on the reports besides read until I'm cross eyed.



I have one dog, a min pin named Fergie. She is a jewel but is getting a bit old now and I'm afraid she might not last too many more years.


Moderators don't have warning bars, so no.

Coke

$100 bill.

Gas, Diesel is way too high now. I would really like to have an electric car or a fuel cell car.

Charcoal or wood.


Both, usually PC though. My hubby usually uses the Xbox.

Prince

Bioware

Elderscrolls

Both have drawbacks and advantages.


I met Attrebus but that is it. I'd love it if we could ever meet up. A few have met some of the "company folks" and some have toured the studios.

I know a few folks who met hear and got married (two I can think of right off), some that dated. But I don't know any of them on a personal level. Just as friends on the forum.

Youth Soccer Referee.

Maybe. I probably wouldn't be on nearly as much in the very least.



It all starts with a white van. After that, to be honest, I've blocked out the memory.

When we need moderators we all discuss it, come up with some consensus candidates (basically unanimous candidates) and then ask them. Usually we notice people who are active and helpful.



Well, we used to have cool ones, but for some reason they were taken away. I wasn't a mod then, so I don't know the whole story.

For example:
Spotted Owl was for a three letter word that also stands for a triangle (with three known measurements) which cannot be proven to be similar to another.
Noble Seamstress was for a female of a certain type of mammal often kept as a pet.

We still have some specific ones though:
really devoted fan
I am not funny



1. Ummm, Lee Harvey Oswalt or Sirhan Sirhan, take your pick.
2. I played a bit of them in college, but not the most recent pair.

Never had any pets. My sister current have a pug though, and used to have a cat about a decade ago.

I mainly play on the PC, but I've also been gaming on the Nintendo DS lite quite a bit this summer. Only this month I finished Dragon Quest 4, 5 and 9 for the DS I also have a PS2 and GameCube by the TV.

No, I never played any of the CoD games, not even for a second. Never played any of the Battlefield games either. I just don't see the appeal with army shooters, when I play a FPS I want something more unique like No One Lives Forever, FEAR, Bioshock or Singularity.

I have played the first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint:_Cold_War_Crisis and did enjoy it quite a bit though, but that's not just a shooter. More of a war simulator, with way more realism than a FPS.

Who's the oldest moderator on here?

Who's the first moderator ever to be on this forum?

What did you like when you became a moderator?

What do most moderators like to do on your spare time when your on the forums?

My last question is. Do you love what you do on a every basis on the forums?


These are just some of my questions i been wondering. :tops:

Wired or wireless?

Bacon or ham? OR Canadian bacon!

Lava lamp or plasma lamp?

Paper plates or ceramic plates?

Times New Roman or Arial?

Natural light or artificial light?

What are ya'lls bedtimes?

When was your first smooch?

Approximately how many members have you banned?(Am I allowed to ask this?)

Would have been cool to see some creativity there . I particularly love using the phrase "Lady of the Night" to replace a certain job title.

I've seen the first one quite a bit and when I first saw it I couldn't stop laughing. I've never seen "I am not funny" though. What's that for?

Anyone ever get a job through these forums?
