AraTeran ButterBalls Tirion ButterBalls With that said, I think we should start a Hitler Appreciation Guild. Though, I have no gold and I'd have to learn some German. None of which I feel like doing. Well, he was a great leader until that whole.... 'Let's Make A Master Race' thingy... Kinda took away from the good things that he did. Does morally wrong exclude greatness though? Though you're right. He fixed the economy for the Germans after the devestating loss of WWI.No, morally wrong does not exclude greatness. Great can be used to mean powerful or having the capability to do things of an extraordinary magnitude. Great often has a positive connotation, but it can also be applied to something negative. And to your other post: yeah, your avvie just suddenly turned black, so I was confused. Remind me about forming this guild in about a week and I'll donate what gold I can towards it.

Thomas Neo Anderson badloki Thanks guys! But, alas, even on my very first day I am already swamped with PMs and reports. No more cleared out inbox for me! But things go well so far. Been learning a lot and having much fun! So what if I want to PM you just to PM you? Is that now impossible because of your God-like stature? Well of course! I just don't know how soon I'd be able to respond is all. sweatdrop And thanks for the congrats, guys. I just hope I can do a good job. Laurel: I don't know why they chose me either. I certainly have never asked to be a mod nor am I particularly super-active in any specific forum. I don't know what criteria the Admins use when they select new mods, but I got chosen, so here I am. Though I can say, if ButterBalls was ever nominated, I'd vote for him.

The fact of the matter is that our society wouldn't be the same without all of the scientific innovations that the Germans came up with under Hitler's rule. Although they were horribly done, they advanced science in a big way. ... Plus I heard Hitler was the one who help in the invention of the Autoboune(sp), which is pretty cool as well.

I suspect you guild activities may have had something to do with it loki. Both you and Nikolita are very active with your guilds which both relate to life issues branches so that may have been where it come from. Congrats!

Yeah, I remember learning about that. Horrid, really, how they did it but truly amazing. Kind of like the blacks and slavery and America. Some say they made what America is today because of their free labor and such. Still horrid what people did to them.

Though I can say, if ButterBalls was ever nominated, I'd vote for him. Yeah, that seems to fit the average profile except the activeness because that varies.
Nah, being a moderator is definitely something I don't want to do. Thanks though.

Happy Birthday to Me! Happy Birthday to Me! Happy Birthday Dear Meeeeee!! Happy Birthday to Me! Annnnd as an extra special bonus, Sipid in real life attempting to be intimidating while wearing a party hat!  As Sizetwelve frequently says, "You have to look ridiculous in order to get ridiculous."

I suspect both mine and Nikolita's guild activity had something to do with our modding as well, but I may never know for sure. I have yet to convince any older mods to let me in on what lead to my choosing.
But to clarify, I'm not an LI mod. I am a GGN mod. I may join the LI mod team in the future though.
And happy birthday old man Sipid. You look ridiculously intimidating. You've succeeded in making my hairbrush quake with fear.

Congrats to you too loki. After coming and going so many times, I failed to realize that mod promotions were made until just now.
And while the immediate stature would somewhat be appealing, the actual job responsibilities would kill the fun for Gaia for me. I already have to manage 105 teenagers each day in real life. Don't make me have to manage thousands more in my time off gonk
