cho has a few HPs she has no current use for.
Would you make the same bargain with her?
cho? you mean Ogoncho?

why doesn't ogoncho give her hps to menolly?
I've been giving Menolly's HPs to cho.
What would Menolly need Pantheon items for?
And cho has all the Pantheon items she wants from the ones currently offered...

Anyway, offer is still on the table.

..oh...hang on...I don't think I fit your first characteristic, Wayfriend :cry: Does that mean I'm not a good mod? :cry:


:cry: I'd feel better if someone gave me their WGD's!




:biggrin: ...sorry...I'll be sensible now!

aww...that's OK, Luci.
Tokens are what I'm after as well.
I guess I'll just start saving up HPs to buy the Mists...

:twisted:

...sorry Sea...

...it is on topic though, as the Mod Squad tag is for the mods, but to buy it you need Tokens...

I guess to know when something is inappropriate or not. Which is why I would never make a good mod, as I'd let a lot of shit go. Such as

so far:

  • For starters, he or she would have to be certifiably insane.

    Patience.

    A lack of parti pris, as they say. Also, a sense of humour never, ever goes astray.

    Your avatar has to have a nice butt.

    Using lots and lots and lots of smiley emoticons.

    Redirection without criticism when neccesary.

    Queeaqueg.

    Objectivity.

    A charming smile, and the ability to dispense wisdom such as: "It's OK to stir the pot, as long as you also eat the soup."

    The ability to perform unspeakable acts in order to purchase your own "Mod Squad" banner.

    + The ability to set an example of behavior.

    + The ability to identify when threads turn into Yet Another Thread About Mooching WGD/Tokens/HP.

    Available Hit Points.

    To know when something is inappropriate or not.

ummmm......Webbed feet?
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

i don't know from mods. they won't let me be one and i have no experience pre-watch. they gripe a lot about stuff like keeping on point. and on topic. and on subject. they correct speeling. they correct gramma when she uses bad grammar. school house rocks btw. mods must be middle of the road so both sides can whack at them. they always use clean knives to eat the bacon.
