Ask The Mods

@Reneia Which one?

So, who cleans up Mod HQ?

I pride myself with being pretty good with the duster...

Eh, most of the time, it's the new mold, don'tcha know. Initiation to their cleaning duties and all that.

*kicks feet up on @Lightsong's back*

But don't worry, it cycles out every once in a while. Can't overwork 'em, you know.

@Steggy's

@AdrianMoon I can't say for sure about the other crews, but as the initiation process, new SB moldies are assigned with all the cleaning tasks! Like scrubbing the deck, cleaning the parrot cages (those are despicable let me tell you), testing the plank to make sure it doesn't break (those dramatic scenes in all the pirate movies would go to waste if the plank broke!) among others!

Once a new SB mod comes in, you get demoted promoted to serving the amazing @Rydia! She loves cookies

New mods have to clean up the clutter from the last round of gladiatorial battles in general. Crew-wise, Resources mods have to organize the knives and potions (don't want poisons to get mixed in where they don't belong) and find a place for their new equipment.

And shovel the snow. I am a Canadian there will never not be snow.

Not sure if it's changed since I was a Mod, but the GMs and above used to ruthlessly beat the JMs until they were begging for mercy on the cold, hard ground.

It was a such a cute bonding experience <3

I have a question: How is voting for something counted in the modsquad polls? Is it according to numbers or to ranks or...???

@Pretzelstick --> Votes are tallied in a very unique system that @Griffinkeeper gave us many years back.

Basically, we set up a massive game of Call of Duty, and the person who shoots the most mods in the head gets his or her way.

We call this The Head Count.

Boy, am I glad I no longer have potion duty. Someone *cough cough* @Birkhoff is TERRIBLE at labeling.

@LadySpark, there's TOO MANY labels!

I feel obligated to reveal that we all pretty much bestowed the nickname 'The Happy Camper' to @Lumi during our Call of Duty rounds.

I love how "cough" and "Birkhoff" rhyme. XD

Fun fact: Lumi's selection was the bloodiest nomination of all time. The process was still very new and many of the moderators hadn't even figured out how their weapons worked. So when the match started, they just started shooting everything that moved. The result was that @Lumi was approved after the pro-Lumi team won against the anti-Lumi team -347 to -1263.

(@Pretzelstick - If you want a serious answer, all voting done in the staff forums are by number, with rank basically not taken into account at all)

@Birkhoff at least you don't give the potions tutus like @LadySpark did. The goal of the vials is that they can slip into pockets, not catch on everything and take up more shelf space.

Although, at least she appreciated the dozen shades of pink.
