Why is six afraid of Sehven?

Because Sehven was a bit of a competitive eater, you see? He was never a huge star or anything - not like that Kobayashi fellow who could eat like 50 hot dogs. Incidentally, Kobayashi was very small - a story for another time, perhaps. Anyways... Sehven used to enter competitive eating contests that ranged from pizza to ice cream to chicken wings, and everwhere in between. Yes, even hot dogs. I could never eat competitively. I can never even finish a full meal at a sit down restaurant. Well sometimes, but generally not. But back to Sehven. In one of his first contests, Sehven managed to eat nine hot dogs in one minute. It was amazing! I've never seen someone eat so fast. I'm not even sure he chewed his food! He use the age-old technique where you eat the bun separate from the dog, using his water to soften the bun. I'm sure it tastes terrible, but it really is the quickest way. He just plowed through his plate. He didn't win or anything, but it was an amazing showing. Anyways, I digress.

tl;dr, Sehven ate nine.

---

Also, because six and Sehven are relatively prime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime). ...wait, that's not very funny. And it doesn't even make any sense in the context of your question. Hm... sorry.

Because it suffered from septephobia... poor thing.

I wish I could come up with something clever like Comph, but I'm afraid that I'm at sixes and Sehvens with that kind of thing.

I think you got your facts wrong...


I ain't afraid o' no Sehven

...see?

Who is the best moderator?

Dibs! Yessssssssssss

comphy - because he gave me his purple

Come on guys, I thought there was gonna be at least SOME debate over who's the best.

I'd say that I'm at least in the top Sehven.

Umm. Silverleon?

Hahaha!
Well, for a brief moment there, the site default settings told me and the community that I was Super Moderator. I hope you all took note. Super is better than best because when you're super you get a cape (unless Edna Mode is your designer, of course). Anyhow, that's my story and I'm sticking to it :/

@ comphermc:
Are you finnaly back on action?
If I remember correctly there was some business you had so you took some time off, but now that you've been active again does that mean you'l be on more often now?

Winter break = more free time.


@ Aya042:
How can I be at 5 places at once like you?

The key is to ensure all 5 places occupy the same physical space.


@ BabyDoll1970:
Something I've been wondering for a while...what's up with your name? XD
Whaddaya mean "what's up"? is something wrong with it? And do you mean my forum name or my real life name? Because my real life name... yeah, my parents hadn't actually seen the movie when they named me and didn't realise she was actually a psycho.

@ Morgana25:
So, do you plan on taking the same mod-style as your senpai (Babydoll )?
Or are you planning on taking on a certain way of moderating?

Right now I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the how to side of things, you know, what buttons to push users to tempban, and more importantly which ones NOT to push to permaban. As for mod-syle, I've had great role models to learn from and peers to continue to learn from so I think I'll just try and do the best I can.

Oops.


@ schm0 & jeffcu28:
Where the heck are you 2?
No seriosuly, I haven't seen you 2 do any moderating, like at all, its always BD, rtm, sometimes Comph, and onw I see Morg doing more these last couple of days than I've seen both of you do combined in the last 2 months...
What's up with that?
(Altho since you 2 are so inactive I doubt you'll even read this. XD)

People except comph have lives. The slack gets picked up as needed... this is nothing new.


@ Sehven:
Is it true what I hear that you moderate mainly on personal and religious beliefs, than simply sticking to the site rules? :o

Uh.... what? The only time I recall religious issues coming up was that one incident a while back and when I told you what had actually been said, you seemed to come around to my point of view. It wasn't even an infraction/warning: just a deleted post. My personal take on moderating is that it's meant to keep the site legal (no piracy, etc.), family friendly (no objectionable/offensive content), and as enjoyable and easy to use as possible to the most people possible (no spam, bickering, etc. and keep things in their organized sections and all that). It's also a way to crush people who ask me bothersome questions, so you can expect a 30 point infraction soon

Well, that was quite rude, Silverleon...

Is this based solely on that single spampost you pointed out, which was deleted for being spam?

Try to limit yourself to one question at a time. - comph

<Completely unrelated questions>

Who knows how to code?

Coders.


Who know how to use photoshop?

I dabble.

Me too.

I get paid to do that for a living - love Photoshop

Photoshoppers.

I used to know. I've now forgotten.

Who is THE MASTER RACE?

Cockroaches.
He's right, it's cockroaches, or perhaps assorted viruses? But cockroaches at least have faces.
Crab people.

Who knows how to model (in 3d)?

Models with two eyes.


Who has an iphone?

Got it in Sept. Love it!

People with too much money.

Who has an ipad?

People with way too much money.
My husband has one (and I've nearly aced 'Geared' Woo!) and my daughter will have one as of this afternoon. Worked hard and saved up for it herself. let that be a lesson to all of you

Who is the logic master?

Of the current mods? Probably Aya042.

Computers.

If I were to hit you with a wrench what would be your first reaction?

Pain.
Surprise.
Our chief weapon is pain... and surprise... our two weapons are pain, surprise... and ruthless efficiency... our three weapons are... wait... amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as pain, surpri... I'll come in again.
Aya - you just get cooler and cooler in my world.
Yeah, I need to get in and reply before Aya, 'cuz I can never come up with anything clever enough to follow him.
If only Comph had putten "fear" instead of "pain" it would've been perfect.

If I were to hit you with a sumo wrestler what would be your first reaction?

Pain.
I could take him
Amusement as you completely fail to lift said wrestler.
I'd step back and let Morganna take him.


If I were to hit you with a non-existent object what would be your first reaction?

Confusion.
Amusement.

And rtm was about to get his purple color, talk about luck

Luck had nothing to do with it. It was a carefully planned conspiracy to ensure rtm never got his favorite color.
We kept him tied up in the back while Morganna grabbed it.

How afraid are you about the people here stalking you and eventually finding out everything about your personal life?

My life if pretty quiet... wouldn't be worth it.
Same here. They'd be pretty disappointed.

I'm sure you're both completely underestimating your potential to fascinate. As for me, anyone who snoops enough into my personal life gets allocated a share of the chores.

Hmm, I will probably never get used to comph not being purple. For a while I thought it was comp who answered

ya, here, I'll confuse you more..... math, math, something else smart, math, Portal and math.

So how are you feeling after becoming a mod @Morgana25? Has the excitement worn off or is it still big and bright?

Was there any excitement at all? :L

Oh I'm still excited. It's challenging, which is cool. I wouldn't say its lost any of the big and bright, I can just see the machinery behind the big and bright now.

So ... who would win out of a fight between morgy and comph? (I'm putting my money on morgy )

I wouldn't be so sure. He's awfully smart and athletic.

I vote Morgy.

So what do you think your LBP2 experience will be in the coming year(s) compared to LBP1?
Are you gonna play more or less than before? Will you create more or less levels than in LBP1...?

I know you can't really know by now, but maybe you have an idea due to real life issues, changes or priorities maybe...


I'm hoping to do just as much creating, with more playing, but with less free time. I haven't worked out the logistics yet, but it's going to work.

I have a few level ideas in mind. I think I'm going to take a little create break and just soak in Story mode for at least a month or two first. I've been working on stuff almost non stop since I got LBP1 and I want to reconnect with what I love about the playing part. I'll get working after that!

I keep hoping I'll have more time, but it's unlikely. The older my kids get the more running round I seem to have to do. I do want to get back to my course this year as well.... I need to get a diary... *walks off, thinking*

I spent most of last year unemployed and only the last half of it in school so I had a lot of time to create. Probably won't have that much time this year between school and work.

If a big black bear bit a big black bug would the big black bear bleed blood?

No but the bug would. But secondly, would I care? not really.


When Betty Botter had some butter, "But," she said, "this butter's bitter", if she baked this bitter butter, it would make the batter bitter. But would a bit of better butter make her batter better?

No, because you can't de-bitter batter - it's botched. But rather make a better batch from scratch. If she baked the bitter butter on it's own it would not classify as batter, but would pool and burn on the bottom of her oven. Seems like Betty Botter better buy herself a book on how to cook better.

I don't cook and I won't be frequenting Betty Botter's House of Butter either.

How insane are you to not only continue answering these questions, but by encouraging it with a whole new thread?

Your ruining the novelty of this for me Rock. It's fun.

How insane are you to continue asking them?

I blame Comph.


But it's not insanity to annoy. I'm annoying you, which is fun. However, you're inviting us to annoy you. THAT is crazy.

I'm not annoyed. If I were annoyed, you'd be able to tell on account of the whole being banned thing

Again, I blame Comph.


Also, how much longer before Aya just becomes a full admin. Come on. Tell the truth. :kz:

From what I've seen, he could probably hack into the site and give himself full admin access if he wanted.

And again, I blame... oh...

You do realize that the color of someone's username is configured independently of their permissions, so what's to say I'm not already a stealth-admin just posing as a lowly mod?

On the other hand, go for it and see what happens

If you could be any colour of bean bag chair, what colour would you be?

Do you really not know?
What's with all the color questions? What's next? The color of Inanimacy's underwear?

Alternatively, if a colourful bean bag chair could be any one of you, who would it be?

um.... probably me, it wouldn't have to have too drastic a lifestyle change.

Also if you could beat up any other mod, who would it be?

I wouldn't... but if I HAD to probably BabyDoll. That way the boys wouldn't have to hit a girl. Cuz that's bad.
Lol, yeah we could scream and roll around on the ground pulling each others' hair And if anyone dares mention jello, it's an insta-silencing. I actually wouldn't beat up any of the mods, even if I wanted to. And I possibly could.. I did over a decade of classical ballet and used to be able to do a pretty mean grand jete......plus you've got the warpaint thing down, so you'll have a psychological edge. Seriously, I wouldn't mess with BD.

Rtm... but I'd wait until he loses his mod powers so he can't fight back

And if you could make another user a mod, who would it be?

oh, that's a toughie... probably, um... shropshirelass. More Girl Powah!
Morganna... oh wait, I think we already did that.
Last but not least, do you <3 me?

love is a strong word.....
My cursor is hovering over the ban button. That's kind of like love, right?

I understand.

Ok, I apologize, I did exaggerate Sevhen's case, but what about Jeff and Schm0's?
You say people have lives ('cept you according yo Aya. ) but that's exactly part on my point too, all the other mods have lives as well, but that's not stopping them from working as mods, is it?
You (Comph) at least have the decency to saythay you won't be abe to Mod for a while, but they just dissapeared, and I don't see why keep someone as a mod JUST because they made a good post or two (you know what I mean.) if they're not willing to work as mods, like they should, and if they had so busy lives that they could not work as mods, whyaccept in the 1st place?
There are a few others who have declined being mods before, so they had that option as well, not like they were forced.

Also even tho I'm rambling about that there is the possibility they are working on something for the site I am not aware of, of course (yet none of the mods I've talked with have defended them with that point.) so before I go any further with this, is there or is there not something site-related that's keeping them from doing their regular mod duties?
Like some behind the scenes thing or working on a feature for the site?

If not, I don't see why have extra 2 mods just for the sake of having many mods, and nothing more.

Well, I'm here to defend. Yeah, we all have busy lives but they're all very different. As for me, most of my work is in the home at the moment, hence my ability to log on reasonably frequently. If I had a job outside the home that wouldn't be the case.

There's a lot more to moderating than what you guys see. Jeff's main responsibility is for the PSP section of the site, although he is a full moderator, but that's where he's been doing his thing, and he's been doing it well. But we all discuss things in the staffroom and help each other out. Just cause you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not happening.

schm0's had stuff going on IRL but has been popping in to help out behind the scenes. I'm not trying to be rude here when I say the mode (and I don't mean 'quality&apos and the frequency of how each of us moderates is not really essential info for the community, nor is it necessarily supposed to be equal at all times, which is why we work as a team. Those of us who need to step away for a bit for whatever reason are really under no obligation to explain to community why that is. Our personal lives are personal. We can explain if we choose to, be we shouldn't have to. We're not paying your wages or anything - nor are you guys paying ours. This is all voluntary As long as there are staff available, it's all good And how many mods are or are not necessary is at the discretion of CC and the rest of the staff, according to how much moderating is needed at the time.

Does that help?

Dude. We're not gonna' make you a mod so you can stop campaigning for it.

Question 1: Has Rocksauron ever been approached to be a MOD?
I have no idea.
Question 2: What is CC'S I.Q.?
Higher than mine I'd wager. But what's in a number really.
Question 3: Do any of you use foul language inordinately in your everyday lives?
Yep I do. I'm a Graphic Designer, comes with the job.

What's inordinate to one person might be perfectly acceptable to another.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude. It's like I'm looking back at myself August 09 when I kept trying to rid LBPC of all inactive mods out of my misplaced sense of purpose. Kinda. Vaguely. Not really. Just in a slightly similar sense. Just thought you should know you somewhat are kinda like me... Because I know that I'm who you aspire to be >_>

... /cough

But yes. Um... uh...

Well, I have been needing to ask CC something... can't really ask it here, but he hasn't really responded when I asked, but yeah. Uh... Well... um... Next time you talk to him, can you ask him about, well, that?

It is (for reasons I am not prepared to describe here) your last night on this earth, and you are afforded the opportunity to have anything (and everything) you want for your final meal. What do you order?


um, ok. I'd have Cajun Chicken Cordon Bleu with Tasso ham and a pecan cream sauce, tiny plate of Chicken Marsalla (don't want to fill up on pasta ) my mother's cheesy potato casserole, a bunch of bacon, Slice of turtle cheesecake, slice of chcocolate cake with Grand Marnier flavored mousse frosting, one of my mother's black bottom cupcakes without the icing...... and a twix bar. Yep I'd be dying a happy and full woman.

Oh my, but that sounds yummy.

Do you think it's true that if you own more then three hats, you are a true gentleman?

Sure why not
I own a ballcap, a beanie, and a fezz. Does that count?
Umm. No.

What's your favorite The Beatles song?

Eleanor Rigby.... really it is, why are you looking at me like that?
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Well, the song is ok, but really I like it 'cuz of the movie by the same name.
Too many to choose from, although Eleanor Rigby is a good 'un.

If you could be a combination of two animals, what would they be?

Dragon and Phoenix - didn't say they HAD to be real animals.
A deep sea fangly fish and a pterodactyl.
RockSauron and Silverleon. Oh, wait, they're the same person...


What would be that animal's superpower(s)?

Could fly, be reborn in fire and toast perfect marshmallows.
Nobody could see it and not instantly die of terror: huge leathery wings, stupidly long fangs, creepy huge white eyes, and can freakin' light up in the dark. .... now if you'll excuse me, I need to go design one of these for a level.
Making fewer posts on LBPC.


Who would be that animal's evil supervillain(s)?

An over zealous knight with a big bucket of water.
Hm... a bear holding a shark?
ConfusedCartman


What would be that animal's motto?

Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc
"I must make fewer posts on LBPC".


I liek thiz threyd! :]

@Morgy

Ok..I'm cajun..the f is "Cajun Chicken Cordon Bleu"? D:

Does that exist? Why have I never heard of it? We don't cook special chicken... most chicken in louisiana is just fried..
I mean, unless you're in New Orleans, they'd probably put powdered sugar on it... they put powdered sugar on everything.. they're insane...
But for everywhere else.. idk what that is D:

Cajun Chicken Cordon Bleu
Stuffed with smoky tasso ham, Creole mustard and provolone cheese, lightly breaded and topped with our decadent pecan cream sauce

My favorite restaurant in Milwaukee makes it. I know it's not a traditional dish but I adore it. I've been to New Orleans twice and ya, the food is unbelievable!

Creole mustard..as in Crab sauce?
Pecan sauce sounds interesting :o

What is your favorite book of all time and why?

ohhh that's a hard one. Lord of the Rings Trillogy or Hitchhiker's Guide.... argh.... Ok, going with the Lord of the Rings Trillogy. It's beautifully written, very imaginative and the characters are great. You can read it over and over and over and still find something new each time you read it.

The Giver, by Lois Lowry. It's not a challenging book per se, but it was the last book I read in school that I truly enjoyed. I reread it recently, and it's incredibly deep - only took me about a day to get through.

Twilight.

Okay I'm kidding... but I will admit, I did enjoy it. My fave at the moment would probably have to be 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', although I have always adored the short stories about the Glass family, by J.D. Salinger. 'Seymour: An Introduction' being possibly my favourite of those.

Where have all he other mods gone, now only Morgana's answering questions D:

I think Comph said something about having lives or something like that. Crazy how we don't have time to constantly refresh this page, isn't it?

I was sleeping I am awake now, though...

Curses, foiled again!

If you were a regular site members and I was a mod, what would YOU ask ME?
(I'll probably answer too, so ask away. )

This gives me an idea. Can we have a "Meet the Users" thread in which the site staff can ask any of the members questions. And we'd have the ability to edit your posts in that thread.

No. We're the special ones. You're all just peons.
Seriously, though, even if it were feasible to do, there are seven of us and what... thousands of members? The idea of this thread is to give people a chance to talk to us and get to know us a bit outside of those situations where we're infracting and banning you. You know, like a propaganda thing that tries to trick you into thinking we're your friends or something.

Ich denke, der Witz bekommt abgestanden jetzt.
-------
:'( Now how will I have my fun?

Well, there's this nifty thing called a PS3. That stands for PlayStation 3. It's kind of like a workstation but instead of work, you can play. Then there are these discs you can get for it that have games on them. One of them is called LittleBigPlanet and I hear it's fun to play.

I have a question. It is, however not like most of the questions. I'm just interested in mods opinons who aren't on the other forum I'm referring to. I'll use LBPC members though...

If CC were to complain about the workload from running this place getting to much, and take a step back, and everyone support him, it's fine. But if CC then remained anyway, contrary to what he had said, continuing exactly what he had been doing before, at which point LBP decided to remove him from his mod position admin position without telling him, or the community, how would the mods feel?

It's happened at a forum I'm on, however it's a Forza 3 league forum, and the admin in questions was well liked by all the members, along with the fact that he sorted out the organisation of most of the events. He doesn't pay for the domain or hosting, the two admins do, and when he claimed he needed a break, they let him step back no questions asked. He stayed as adding and for a week or two he didn't come on much. He then returned and continued as if nothing had happened, picking up his old workload (which is a lot, running 10+ racing series with 100+ drivers in each, managing all the points, sending out car builds etc.) as if nothing had changed.

Suddenly today there is a post saying he is no longer admin because the two founders have decided that it's too much work, given his personal situation he mentioned what is now a couple of months back. He's been removed and there is a 15 page (and growing) thread of complaints, with racing teams (including mine) pulling out of the league and threatening to start a new one. Bear in mind that some of the teams on there are amongst the best racing teams on 360 (VVV etc), not just on site teams, but people who have the team name in the GT etc. (for example mine is VxR Senna) so it's a proper place, not some crappily thrown together thing. Turn10 even support the place by donating unique in game cars and prize money, so it's gained a lot of recognition.

Through all this, the two founders, who seem to contribute little in the way of organisation, they only pay, are saying that it's his own fault and refusing to give us the reasons for why he was fired, and why he wasn't warned. They keep saying to teams who are leaving 'Your life, your choice' and yet when the admin in question made the decision in his life that he was ready to return, they ignored his choice and removed him. Given that he did all the work, it's seems stupid, especially as they will soon have no members left.

Mods opinions on what is going on? I didn't explain it that well and I can link to the site if you want to see the thread, but I just wanted outside opinions on what is going on...

First, it seems like people on the site are taking things way too seriously and getting worked up over a gaming site. Of course, it's easy to say that since I'm not there; perhaps if I were emotionally invested, I might have a different take. Second, reading a few paragraphs from one person's point of view is hardly enough to base a well informed opinion: perhaps there's more going on behind the scenes than you know. Third, as distasteful as it may be to most, if the two admins own the site and pay for everything, they have every right to go home and take their ball with them, so to speak. It may not win them any friends, but it's their freakin' ball. If you don't like it, then perhaps there's another site that will be more to your tastes and isn't run by admins like that.

I get the upset if the guy was well liked. However, my experience tells me that there's always two sides to a story. Bummer for the community that the two admins aren't willing to tell theirs, but there's nought you can do about that, sadly. I hope your site doesn't crumble as a result. Good luck

A lot of the people taking it way too seriously have paid money for a 'premium' membership to help keep the site going (I'm not one of them, but still) and so they rightly feel they should have a right to complain...

Indeed. If I had put money into something and it had gone to hell, I'd be ****** off. Again, though, It'd be tough to make a judgment without having all the facts from both perspectives. Ultimately, though, this is the risk you take when getting invested in something that you don't have direct control of--sometimes things just don't go your way and you're powerless to do anything about it. Mostly I try not to get that invested in things, though I'm probably at that level with this site and I'd be pretty annoyed if it went to crap.

I can work google translate, but I'm not enough of a nerd to have any resources for translating Klingon. And let me once again reiterate our policy of English-only-posting.

Killa... seems someone has waaaaay too much time on their hands All I can say to that Klingon is "Kree sha'k chel noch!... Shol'va!"


Well I can't find a reliable Klingon translator and alas I'm not fluent. Oh the shame I must live with. Don't take my Star Trek Fan Club card away.

What extraterrestrial body would you visit if you could visit one? Other than you Sehven, that's Cybertron...

Seven of Nine... oh wait, that's not what you meant by body, is it? Um.... yeah, Cybertron.

I'd go to Lantia - the planet on which the Stargate Atlantis crew base their operations. I'd like to meet Lt. Col. John Sheppard and Ronon Dex

Probably Vulcan - I loves me some pointy ears and dispassionate chit chat.

Can I pick Earth, but in a parallel universe where LBPC doesn't have a "Meet the Staff" thread?

Dude. We're not gonna' make you a mod so you can stop campaigning for it.
Wow there, don't go making things up yourself and deciding things for others like that!
I ASKED about your case, I wasn't implying it, jeez.

I don't know where you got that idea there, but unlike what whoever in the mods thinks, I am NOT looking to be a mod in this forum.
Besides, I'd rather be a regular furumer here, more 'shinan'igans I can get into.

No but seriously, I already got enough mod duties as it is in 2 other forums (thus why my backseat mod attitude sometimes) + keeping active on a couple of others (Yes, I'm in a lot of forums, I'm a forumer, so what? XD) I mean, I know I got a lot of free time, but still, I wanna enjoy some forums rather than modereate them all, you know?

I'm good with just using the report button for now, maybe if I retired or am kicked out of my modship in one of the other forums, but for the meantime, I'm good, no worries.

If asked here I may accept or decline, depending on who active are the other forums by then, but for the meantime, I'm good with just being a regular member.
___
As for the question:
Who's the youngest of the mods?

Not me.
Not me either. although I am definitely the oldest.
Comph, unless you count CC.


Would you or have you ever H4H?

Nope, not even waaaay back in the day when we first met.
Never. Not because I'm vehemently against it, but a desire for hearts was never my motivation.
No and no. Too lazy.


About how many level projects have you scrapped due to loss of interest, too many technical difficulties, and all that, etc.?

Only one and it wasn't for lack of interest. Zwol and I ran out of time, then he ran out of interest. Oh well, wasn't meant to be.
Loads. I've got loads sitting on my moon, mainly due to lack of time and mental energy.
All of them.

i have a question, can i be moderator because every page of the cool pages is a scammed levels page or copy and it looks like nobodys helping. also all my friends are doing it and many of the good levels arent being played. MM is losing players

lbpc has no control over the contents of cool pages. That would be Sony's turf.

Ah, so I see that we've got a swticharoo of mods, eh? (Been gone for a bit, if y'know what I mean...)

Now with LBP2 only a few days away (exactly 8 1/24th days from now), do you have any fears about the rather expected biblical-sized flood of new members that'll come a rushin' into LBPC? Once people start picking up LBP2, I'm sure they'll be coming here shortly after for any attention-grabbing/tip-asking needs.

The more the merrier. Should be fun to have more active people around.


And also, another question: If you were to make any sort of level right now, in the instant, and have it completed, what would it be?

Probably a cute story one. Nothing too deep or complicated but fun and pretty.
A level that makes your PS3 permanently immune to the Yellow Light of Death would be nice.

Who ate my sandwich??? Seriously guys own up!!!!

It was Aya. I saw him sneaking past the break room, sandwich in hand. Up to no good, he looked...
Hey, I only gave you half of that sandwich because you promised not to tell.

You liar! It was a quater and it had a hair in it!!!!!

Gross. You know, my husband once ate almost an entire sandwich before he realised the bread was mouldy

How did you feel the first time you had to infract/ silence/ ban someone?

Haven't had to, to a human yet. Bots are a no brainer though.
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Actually, I was annoyed more than anything. Not so much that at having to infract them, but at the mess that was made before I stepped in with the infractions.

Out of your published levels, which one are you least proud of?
Be honest now...

Probably...my first. It's a mess but I still have it published as a reminder that you can get better if you work at it.
Pretty much all of them. They always seem amazing to me after I put in the time and effort to build 'em, but a few months later when I check 'em out again, I'm pained at just how bad they really are.
Possibly my first Haunted Mansion level. I've redone it somewhat, but have yet to republish.

You hear there is only one copy left of LittleBigPlanet 2 IN THE WHOLE WORLD, and you still haven't gotten yours. You only have one option, to STEAL IT. But your greatest enemyest, who is also YOUR LONG LOST BROTHER is going to steal it. What do you do?

Steal the worlds last controller and make a deal with my bro.

I'd choose not to steal it, advise my brother to do the same and then sit back, comfy on my moral high ground, and enjoy some Tomb Raider

Why steal the last copy? I'll just steal yours and let my enemy/brother have the last one.

Do you know what they call a 'quarter pounder with cheese' in Paris?

Royal with Cheese... Tarantino = WIN

I know that quote! Where's that from?

Pulp Fiction, although according to their website, it's actually called a "Royal Cheese" which seems odd for a country so opposed to aristocracy.

RockSauron and Silverleon. Oh, wait, they're the same person...
O_o

Oh snaps, what if we really ARE the same person? :o

Yet again, as a mod you should be able to check the IPs for both of us, right?


Anywho...what's the largest number you know?
(I don't mean size-wise, so don't reply with a giant number! XD)

Oh, and don't just type something like 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000, its gotta be something you can actually pronunciate/ you know the name of the number.

googolplex is the biggest one I'm aware of - thanks to Dr. Sagan.

I don't really care about the size of a number, but more its potency.

So, whose going to play some LBP2 with me when it comes out? ^_^

I'm sure we'll all need help on the 2x-4x parts, so you probably won't have trouble finding somebody. If we happen to be on at the same time (which is likely since we're what.. one time zone apart?) I'll play with you.

If we're on at the same time I'm fair game. You know how fast space goes in my pod though.

Likely not me. You'd have more chance co-ordinating with my kids

What are your views on Sackboy's current position in the video-game franchise, considering Media Molecule's disposition as a Game studio?

In terms of maketing? Well I think they could put out a bunch more merch with sackboy's adorable face on it and make enough money to fund LBP3.... I'd buy more if I could find it.

Yeah, ditto.

I have no idea what you're asking. His position in the franchise? Um... he's the main character in the lbp franchise. He's basically the only character. And what's Mm's disposition? Isn't it just that they're quirky?

Sehven, you have a good argument, but I said the ENTIRE video-game franchise, not just LBP
Confuzzled yet?

A bit. LBP is a franchise. Mario is another franchise. Unless I don't actually know what franchise means. Wait here............................ Hm. I'm not sure any of the definitions (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/franchise) really fit. Yeah, I don't really know what you're asking.

Ever done something extreme that you sometimes regret? If so, possibly share?

Nothing I'd be willing to share... at least until the statute of limitations runs out.

Wait..what?


I haven't done anything really extreme - that I've regretted. I do regret getting to 4th year honours in my music degree, and then quitting.


Music degree?
Playing, creating, or sharing teaching? O:

What is your favorite sport(s)?

I'm not a big sports fan but I watch the Green Bay Packers play football sometimes and have been known to attend hockey games in Milwaukee sometimes. I am a geek for the Olympics though.

Calvin ball! I'm not especially into sports, but if I were going to be into one, it'd either be football or hockey. Back in the day a bunch of my buds and I used to get together for all nighters playing NHL '98 on ps1, and I watched a few hockey games with them. Other than that, I watch the Super Bowl and that's about it for me and sports.

I was gonna say "tonsil hockey".. but that would be a lie I would probably have to say Dodge Ball

My favorite sport is basketball. I try to watch every single game played by the Dallas Mavericks (They are in the NBA). I also like watching football and baseball.

What are your favorite types of music?

Oh, I'm all over the board. From 80-90's Industrial, New Wave, Goth, Pop to Classical, Electronica, Musicals... ya I have weird and varied tastes.

I'm a child of the '80s so a lot of that stuff still has a special place in my heart. Mostly the pop music (when I was a kid, Erasure was my favorite group, but I don't care for their later stuff like "Always"), but since Guitar Hero introduced me to some of the rock music, I've become a fan of that too (gotta' love Motley Crue). Other than that, I've dabbled a bit in several genres from '50s music to Country (though I grew out of that pretty quickly) to Metal and even Classical. I like some of the modern stuff too, like Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold and such, but I can't stand the more poppy stuff (Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc), R+B, or rap (I went through a rap phase in the mid-'90s and I still like some of it, but not much). One of my favorite songs is SR-71's "Tomorrow" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjSb7j3OSgk&ob=av2nl).... or some of the music off of "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blogs." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaXBu5unFCQ)

My tastes are extremely broad: from ethnic, to classical (of all kinds), to international and local folk music, with a lot of popular and indie stuff thrown in for good measure. But if I want to instantly feel good, I go for 80s music as that music was the soundtrack to my teenage years.

Calvin ball!

I've always wanted to actually try playing it for real.

Ya like Calvin & Hobbes comics?

I am a fan of Calvin & Hobbes

When I was a kid, we had all the books up 'til around 1990 or so and then we sort of stopped paying attention. Seems to me there were at least two that came out after that and I haven't read 'em. Might have to track 'em down. But yeah, I've been reading some of the old ones lately, which is what inspired the reference. I dunno' if I'd ever try playing an actual game (seems it's mostly just making up rules as you go), but it was always funny in the strip.

I have another question for Aya- why aren't you just an admin :kz: Lol, but yeah, see, I was talking to chaz- er, Um Jammer Sully, and he mentioned how he asked CC a week ago to give him mod permissions in the Spotlight forum, which he doesn't have yet cause CC hasn't responded... anyway, so can't any of you change permissions and stuff for things like that? Particularly Aya since he's practically an admin already? /cough

Probably best to let CC do it as he's more familiar with the forum software than I am.

You make it sound like I was cooking up some nasty about CC behind his back. All I said was "I hate that guy, I will see him dead if he doesn't respond in the next 4 minutes...", it really wasn't that bad!

That seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I keed, I'm sure CC is a busy dude and doesn't have time to immideatly reply to every PM.

*ahem*. I know little about the current staff right now but I have to agree with Rock as it seems like having Aya in that position would be quite beneficial.

Indeed, Aya has a great multitude of very useful uses

Ok, these 2 questions iare to all and any mods.

Frst of all, now that rtm is no longer a mod, is anyone else (Specially comphermc.) up to help me silence my non-nemesis, who shall remain nameless and instead be given the code-name "mcCompher"?
Any who join will be rewarded generously for your actions of course... :kz:

Also, since the previous to-be Iron-fist ruler of the site, who would ban any that oppose him or that he smply dislikes site leader has had to resign due to personal issues, the spot is now open for any to take, thus causing a shift in the balance of power, creating chaos around the site, so I need one of you brave mods to take his place, together we'll rise to the top so I can rul-*ahem* so you can stop this madness and bring back peace to the site once again!
So...what do you say?

If I could understand any of that, there might be a more useful reply here.

What good is a secret plan if you keep talking about it Yaru.... shhhhh.

Question... why would you bother silencing a non-nemesis??

A wise genie-turtle hybrid approaches you one day when you're out and about. He/she tells you that you may now pick either Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Electricity or Gravity (To an extent) to be able to manipulate at will. Which do you pick and why?
This question has no relevance to moderating, normal life or anything of the sort. I'm just a little insane.

I would choose water. Not that I have any particular love of it, although a nice warm bath is just about the best thing ever, but my reasoning is this. The nature of water is such that it changes the air around it by becoming water vapor and making it humid or barren by it's absence. It can move earth and erode even the tallest of mountains given enough time. It can generate electricity if harnessed and it is moved by Gravity to make the tides but otherwise isn't really bothered by it. Bruce Lee meditated on the nature of water and I think he's right.


..... After spending many hours meditating and practicing, I gave up and went sailing alone in a junk. On the sea I thought of all my past training and got mad at myself and punched the water! Right then, at that moment, a thought suddenly struck me; was not this water the very essence of gung fu? I struck it but it did not suffer hurt. Again I struck it with all of my might, yet it was not wounded! I then tried to grasp a handful of it but this proved impossible. This was water, the softest substance in the world, which could be contained in the smallest jar, only seemed weak. In reality, it could penetrate the hardest substance in the world. That was it! I wanted to be like the nature of water.

- Bruce Lee

So I'd go with the flow... and choose water.

I think I'd go with electricity so I could go all Emperor Palpatine on everybody and tase them with my hands. How versatile is this power? Could I power a laptop with it or can I only manipulate existing electricity. If it's the latter, I guess it'd still be cool, but not nearly as useful as if I could just shoot lightning bolts out of my.... fingers.

You could shoot lightning bolts out of your fingers with practice, but at first you're limited to smaller amounts.

I'd choose water as I'm scared of the ocean and would like to have a bit of control there. But if it's only one element per person (and Morgana's already bagsed water) I'd go with gravity. Would be very handy in all sorts of situations, not the least of which is lessening the natural drooping of everything that accompanies ageing

You in purple!

Packers fan? As a Falcons fan, I have to say I hate you. I stayed up 'til 4am watching that playoff game, and it was awful.
Don't hate the playa, hate the game I'm actually not a huge football fan but they'll kick you out of Wisconsin if you don't watch the occasional Packer game. I'm sorry for Your Falcons.

Anyway, this isn't a question, but my internet is being slow so to PM every mod would take a while. So yeah, thanks for sorting me out and stuff, I promise I'll behave and the like from now on...

Do any of the mods think Rock should get that cough looked at?

The funny thing is I actually do cough a lot in real life. I just accent it. Like, a demon. I don't need to, i just do it to freak people out. People got used to it now ._> /cough

Well you probably should sort out what's causing it because after you tire of the entertainment of freaking people out and, perchance, decide you want to invest some time in the ladies, it could be a bit of a turn-off (the over-accentuation habit).
I can help you. First stop is to check your temperature, Rock, but alas all I have here is a 12" rectal thermometer...
Ready?

Both RTM and Comphermc have stepped down? EGAD!

What is the world coming to?!

It's part of an evil plot. They're slowly being replaced by thermaxians from the globular nebula as part of stage one in a hostile alien takeover. Err... I mean we're being replaced. We... cuz I'm not a thermaxian or anything

...is there a history somewhere of all the moderators?

There's a list in the Staff private forums somewhere. It'd have to have mrsupercomputer, rtm223, and myself added to it. I went to go look for it and realized that I'm no longer staff. Heh.

Shame too - you should see the threads in the..... oh ya. I'll update the op... although since you posted it originally wouldn't you be able to edit it still?

Already done it. It was a simple case of cutting and pasting your names into the "slackers" section.

...is there a history somewhere of all the moderators?

/raises hand

August 08, first mod was CC. Sure, three days later he became admin, but for three days he was technically just a mod.

Beginning of September 08, bbroman. He lasted like a month before he disappeared. Maltay followed a few days later. Both stepped down/ were demoted in October 08.

A week or so afterward, DrunkMiffy was awarded modship for being a drunk.

Middle of September 08, four "dedicated mods" were introduced. They were essentially dedicated to four forums each before becoming full flown mods within a few weeks. they were Code1337, Marino, aer0blue and Quozl.

A few weeks later in October 08 Forsaken and Mark D. Stroyer became mods, and Marino caused some huge incident where he got demoted and was banned a month later.

In December 08, supersickie became a mod.

In early 09, Code, Forsaken, Mark D Stroyer, and DrunkMiffy, were all gone by May, and Elbee23 was hired in early 09. Whaaaaale and Killian were given modship in June of 09. Quozl, Elbee, and supersickie stepped done in august, and supersickie regained modship a day or so later.

so at the moment, the mods were aeroblue, supersickie, whaaaaale and killian.

After the Logic Pack came out, comphermc and mrsupercomputer were made mods.

By March of 2010, aeroblue, supersickie, whaaaaale and killian stepped done, leaving compermc and mrsupercomputer with the newly modded Aya. rtm223 and Babydoll followed suit in June of 2010, and mrsupercomputer dropped out a few months later. schm0 became a mod shortly after LBP2 was announced, and of course in the past few months, Sehven, jeffcu and Morgana25 became mods, and rtm and comphermc dropped out.

... And I recalled all that from memory, with no external help whatsoever. I have no life >_> Seriously.

... ok, actual question since this is meet the staff and I was only answering because I highly doubt any current mod knows all those people who were mods for a few months in 2008 Is Morgana the replacement for both rtm and Comphermc, or are you currently looking at more? ... and just in case you take that the wrong way, I wasn't suggesting me, I just have a desire to know all about this site... as you can see from my history lesson above >_>

I could never replace either, much less both.

Actually, Sehven and jeff were already 'replacements' for Comph while he was on sabbatical, and Morgana was just to 'replace' rtm.


And another question: Do I have no life?

You have a life. The question would be are you enjoying it?

I agree. But that is some impressive fact recollection. Please ensure whatever professionial field you decide to head into makes good use of that ability.

I think your above "History of LBPC Staff" answers that question for us.

Silly Rock, we will need 10 new mods to "replace" Comph.

Only if that 10 is in binary

...and two's complement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two%27s_complement) (for non-geeks, that means -2)

We will never forget you Comph ;-;
Question-
Have you ever traveled overseas?

I've not been overseas so to speak. The farthest I've traveled is Alaska but technically that's sill the USA.

Aye. I've been to New Zealand (although that kinda translates to travelling interstate.. KIDDING ), and also the USA, but only L.A. and Florida (visiting family). Planning a big US trip in the next 36 months, though.

RAGE :kz:

I was an army brat. Born in Germany, moved to the US when I was two, back to Germany when I was eight, visited Paris at ten, and then back to the states at eleven. Went to Hawaii for a couple years when I was 20, which, while a state, is technically overseas.

Ohai, sorry to bring this up again but I am intrigued- did schm0 tell you he'd be gone or did he just vanish? Just curious... ;-;

I have no idea what that situation is/was. Before my time behind the blue curtain.

He is the 2nd least active member now. XD
(Right under ARD/ AAAARRRRDDDD.)
I've seen him log in on PSN a lot tho, so he may have just left the site or something.


Anywho.
Onto the questioning!

@Babydoll:
From last question, I meant your username, not in a bad way, just out of curiosity.
(I don't even know your real name. XD)

Eh? What was the question?... scanned back and can't find it (sorry! ). And anyone who's ever played my levels should know what my first name is - or is in the WizenedSackMates.. or is facebook friends with me... (it's not that exciting)


Also, according to Rocks' history of mods, can any of you remember under who's modship did you join the site?
I believe I joined during Supercicle, Quozl, and mrsupercomputer's modship if I'm not mitaken, shortly before Killian and Whale's.
How about you guys?

Quozl, Elbee, supersickie, aeroblue, supersickie, whaaaaale and killian. These are the guys I remember as mods when I started getting active on LBPC.

Ummm... Killian, Whaaaaale... and... somebody else.. can't remember, sorry.

(Ps: To those who were asking why I'd silence a non-enemy.
He may be a non-enemy on our non-existing war, yet he IS however, an enemy on the existing war. )

Still confused...

Sorry, I have to correct you. It's in my genes.

mrsupercomputer became a mod right after the Logic Pack, aka October 09, along with comphermc. They were mod brothers.

Supersickie, Quozl and aer0blue were definitively mods when you registered... I think DrunkMiffy still had the mod name but he wasn't actually a mod, it just took a month for CC to demote him after he left :/

Sorry, genetics. I'll leave now.

Favorite thing about LBP2?

SACKBOTS!! Oh, and the new materials and camera tools... but mainly SACKBOTS!!

New logic tools, particularly microchips. May I never have to see another winch-based logic gate again.

Hologram and LIghtboxes... although comph's got me loving the logic as of late.

I'm with Aya: I love the new logic.

if you could to choose between- sackbots that could swim or sackbots that could grapple, wich would be most awesome?

Grapple. I never found water to be a particularly compelling gameplay element, although works well from a purely aesthetic POV.

how about jetpacks then? :3

Grapple would be so much easier for co-op gameplay. Jetpacks? Sure why not!

I tell you what... I'd prefer jet packs to get some of those items where you have to pull in and swing up on the grapple. Aaaargh! I suck at that supremely.

I don't much care for grappling or swimming, so I guess I'd go with jetpacks, though I'm not too heartbroken about not having those either.

Here is my question.
I'm new here and I don't really know my way around the place.
Could you give me any tips to making an impact on the site

Well the way I went was to play a lot of levels and leave feedback for creators. Helps you get to know people and they start to recognize you too. Just get involved

I'm less play and more create/share, so I spent most of my time in the help section trying to help out other people and occasionally asking for help with my projects.

Edit: Oh, I have another question now. Was Warlord_Evil brought on to replace schm0 (since he hasn't been online since 2010) or Babydoll?

He's BabyDoll's relief.

Edit: Sorry for so many question, but I just noticed something,

DrunkMiffy
Forsaken
Code1337
QuozL
Supersickie
Mark D. Stroyer
Whaaaaale
Killian

CC retired? When did that happen? Are we getting a new admin?

He's retired as a moderator, not an administrator. (He was a mod before he was admin.)

This /

That's not really retiring then is it? It's a promotion.

1. Do you want to punch me for bumping this thread?

Ahh Tronesque idea had to come from somewhere. I think Daft Punk had their best album with Discovery personally. I think it started to degrade in quality after that.

Before the Tron soundtrack I didn't know much of their work so I'll have to take your word for this.

Hey, look, it's one of these threads again!

I love Daft Punk, been listening to them off and on for years now.

Haha Nah, I have absolutely no idea how you mods do that. So yes, YOU ARE WRONG. WHEEEEEEE

What I meant was, if new mods are chosen by existing mods, then you can infer which mods chose which other mods based on the order in which various users became mods, and you seem to have an encyclopedic knowledge of that order.


And I have no question, merely responding to a mention of my name. Isn't I special? O frak, a question.
