UN: PinkPilgrim - "Do ANY of you know what you're doing?"

[conjecturecycle]

Now don't take this the wrong way or nothing, I'm just trying to be frank here. Because it seems like a whole lot of you haven't played a game like this before. Is this a vocal minority situation or did they just pull names out of hats for this beta?

Because to be honest they aren't paying me enough as "User Moderator" or whatever they put on my paychecks to lead around an entire gaggle of ducklings just so they can idiot proof their game or whatever the logic is here. Again, no offense. I'm sure you're all brilliant at whatever it is you do with the rest of your time.

Anyway I guess I should aughta say that if you have any problems and you don't wanna go straight to the admin, there's me. But I don't know anything more about the game than you, I just maybe know how to play it better and also I can timeout people if they're acting up.

It's, y'know, a metaphor? Mellow out a little.

[horologia]

Oh no, I'm not insulted, just ... Is there no better metaphorical representation to describe yourself?

Or is it really so apt?

I think you're putting a lot more thought into this than I am, paly.
Like, I said Sheepboys. What do you want from me?

[horologia]

Fair enough.

Perhaps a sheepdog might actually have the easier job between the two of you, though.

[conjecturecycle]

I love how I tell you that you're thinking too hard about it and then you immediately continue thinking too hard about it.

I don't got any idea about that! It was a metaphor I came up with after like two seconds of thought on the matter!

[horologia]

?

I was simply saying that sheep might be easier to handle than what we've already seen on the forums.

Or what we can probably expect in the future, all things considered.

[ listen, she's been online enough to know that calling the general population of the internet 'unruly at best' is being very generous. and this guy's the only moderator they've seen around thus far.

one moderator, one admin, one helpful in game GM...? ]

[conjecturecycle]

Sure but that's why it was like an off the cuff metaphor not some sorta thesis dissertation.
