    New Otf Moderator

    I've deleted the "posts count in the OTF again" thread.
    It was a spam fest at best, and now most people know.

    Time for the next major announcement!

    It is with great pleasure that I announce that we have suckered somebody into being a moderator for the OTF and it's related subforums.

    Against his better judgement, Drogue has agreed to take the position.

    Drogue joined Apolyton back in October of 2002, and his first post ever was in the AC MP forum...

    Im up for an IP game.
    Im a newbie to multiplayer (only done one on a LAN) but im pretty experienced on SP.
    Cheers guys
    He is currently a student at Oxford, and being in the UK, he will be of great assistence in monitoring the forums during the primary European posting times when the US mods are usually not available.

    Drogue has been an active poster at Apolyton and we look forward to his help.

    Normally, I would ask that everybody give Drogue the normal Apolyton new moderator welcome... but since some people usually dump on the new mods, I will instead ask that you try to be civil
    Keep on Civin'
    RIP Baron O

    Drogue? Who the hell is he? Also, I don't think you should make anybody who can't use a period or an apostrophe appropriately a mod.

    I thought that was the normal Apolyton welcome.

    I agree. Drogue seems a reasonable choice. I hate it! He'd better do something worthy of whinging about soon, or I'm going to leave!

    Welcome Drogue.
    Hope you don't regret this too soon.

    We need all the help we can get with all the other loons around here.
    The OT at APOLYTON is like watching the Special Olympics. Certain people try so hard to debate despite their handicaps.

    Finally a decent choice for moderator. I'm glad you listen to my whining and fire UR to replace him with somebody sensible.

    Hey, I was young when I wrote that!

    Actually speaking of my first post, I think it was in the Citizen's Registry in the (now archived) ACDG I forum, where it seems capitalisation, rather than apostropes, was my problem:

    If its not too late i'd like to join.

    Congrats Drogue, i remember being a newbie around the same time and our early IP games
    Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

    Just steer clear of "New Mod syndrome". That's the few weeks where new moderators are suddenly transformed into Traffic Wardens from hell, sternly enforcing their authority on every deviation from the rules' most arcane minutiae.
