I think this about sums things up for me. To use DeviantArt as an example, because that's the only site I go to that features it... I like it on the front page, where it allows me to just... blindly scroll down and down and down, in a stupor. This sometimes disturbs @Cy~ depending on how long I've been doing it. On the other hand, when I try to browse my dA favorites to pull up a particular art piece, pagination is extremely useful because I can use it to immediately jump to the approximate time period at which I remember seeing it the first time. Does this sound like an EXTREMELY specific scenario? It is --- and yet, somehow, its one that I've ran into dozens and dozens of times.

At the moment just Fate / Aporcrypha, which I think could go either way at this point - a bit too early to tell.

Not... a whole lot at the moment, actually. I've been playing a bit of Tabletop Sim here and there, but other than that I've been mildly gameless.

C'mon man, why is that listed as a guilty pleasure? OWN IT!

Oh jeez. How did you manage to do that, if you don't mind my asking? D:

Oh jeez. Were you able to stay entertained at least? What in the hell.

Teriyaki salmon, vegetable tempura, salad, spaghetti salad, miso soup, chicken karaage, and tempura ice cream. ... Cy~ and I decided, randomly, to go all in today while eating out. ... and we shared half of that, so don't look at me weird.

I suppose so.

Kettle brand chips are wonderful, tbh. I love their sea salt and vinegar chips... and the spicy Thai. Honey dijon is pretty good as well. Cy~ has a huge collection! All sorts of animals and characters. I don't have nearly as many... I have a wonderful plushie tiger shark (adorable as hell), and a couple My Little Pony plushies... good ones, though, not the crappy things that are so common. A couple Pokemon plushes as well, though I don't much care for Pokemon. I want more stuffed animals. Sharks especially. Big ones. And massive cats. What would you do if your favorite stuffed animal started talking to you in a wonderfully adorable voice, speaking in rhymes of a decidedly macabre nature?

Fallen? Not that I can recall. I've had sharp objects jabbed into me, however. Generally intentionally. Couple pencils. A hot soldering iron. Kid stuff, you know? What's your favorite snack foods?

Chicken enchiladas with refried beans, rice, and guacamole on the side. An unexpected, and lovely spur of the moment dinner out courtesy of the lovely Cy~ ^^

Yo, I'm flattered, really, and I love your avatars, but like... I'm sorry man, I really am, but... this ain't gonna work! I'm married! :'(

That's good to hear, to be honest. I think I might wait until the series has run its course before resuming... save it for a rainy day when there's not much else catching my eye.

Most definitely. I doubt it would end well for me in any way what-so-ever, but I'd hug the crap out of Bern. Lambdadelta too, if she's around!

Huh ... well, the addition of new characters probably bodes well for the series - the existing batch was getting really stale in my opinion. I wanted to love them, but questionable - imo - writing made that really hard. Here's hoping that the series takes enough of a positive swing to motivate Cy~ and I to resume it. I still want to love it.

The clues are your own interactions, who has voted for who, and who was killed during the night, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Soooo, we have one vote for Nectar. Regardless if any other votes come in, the day will close tomorrow evening (Pacific time) - whoever has the most votes at that time will be dead. So like... yeah, stuff and things.

@Histoire How utterly disappointing.

Current votes: Frost is voting for Nectar

There's generally no how per se. I joined the site and was an active, contributing member of the community, making generally high quality posts, etc. I used the forum frequently, submitted a ton of reports any time I saw anything bad, all while generally not caring if I was made a moderator or not. I was just doing what I generally always did, without a specific end goal in mind. Eventually there came a time when the existing site staff decided that they needed an extra set of hands. When this happened, the impression that they'd gotten of me through my time here was apparently sufficiently impressive that they decided to offer me the role. I accepted it. There wasn't really anything magical or mysterious about it - it was, in fact, fairly boring overall. So, now you know how to become a moderator. Let's talk about what happens after you're a moderator. Congratulations, you get a fancy staff tag. Congratulations, any time there's ever a mess on the forum, you're the person that gets to deal with it. Congratulations, any time cleaning up a mess involves coming down on someone that people like for doing something really bad, you become very (note, I'm being sarcastic) popular. Congratulations, when it comes to dealing with the fallout of those messes, you're the person that has to deal with the after-drama drama. I'll be blunt. Being a moderator isn't something to eagerly pine after. It's a pain in the ass, and it will invariably shift your perspective of a community by forcing you to always be aware of the worst aspects of it, which often go unnoticed by everyone else due to the actions of the moderation team.

May I do the same?

I consider this an appropriate and agreeable term of endearment for Zin.
