you're a stand up guy, man. i'd rather have you back as a mod and get rid of the three we have now but i can't imagine the strain of putting up with the game, the general complaints and issues, and the other mods. thank you for your genuine nature, how even if it was a stumble publicly interacting with fassbender, you realized it and your heart was in the right place. you didn't want to be involved in anything shady and you spoke up. thank you for all your years of service here. i really wish there was a better way to push for changes. thanks.
i think my excitement stood on the fact that i knew i wasn't really going to get anything, but the badge of nominee for my first real year being able to be nominated and HAVING been nominated was a thing as well as being able to vote. i'll make my own badges and hang them up on my fridge.
I'm sorry they decided the nominee badges were not needed, and I'm sorry you already knew you didn't stand a chance at winning. That's not what the awards should be like, but I can understand why you would feel that way.
I thought mods were meant to absent themselves from awards all together? I don't know. it was weird. The more/diverse mod comment is also something that my little circle of the universe has said.
when i brought it up to them their excuse was that their roleplaying partners wanted in on the relationship awards and they themselves are players first and mods second so why punish them. i'd agree with this attitude if they didn't also run the awards. instead they both run the game and the awards and so you have no one to complain to and no one even slightly impartial to it all.
yeah it's just kind of icky of them. I don't have anything against them, they have a hard job, but they're not paying attention to the fact that even if they have the best of intentions, it looks crummy if they aren't forthright about the things they do.
I have never been out to stir shit here. especially considering the fact that i know that this character has a bit of a checkered past around here. I was rather enthusiastic in trying to volunteer myself as a mod but i was completely shut down and because i was excited to even try, my motives were called into question. i thought that was one of the most disappointing things that i've experienced in this game, especially since until then, my time had been positive and i had thought my character well liked. it was weird. and suddenly, after giving defending myself a shot, i feel like my character has a stigma that he never had before this whole thing. The selection process for any leadership role around here is dodgy. And the defensiveness that results from saying so makes it seem even more dodgy. I will miss you here, in that you had you offered a different take on the stuff presented to us as the only possible way. My trouble is that I don't care for a stacked system, regardless of where it happens to exist. The bubble thing seems

i really cannot fucking fathom enthusiasm for being a mod as being a negative. maybe if you added some evil laughter to the end of your positivity but otherwise so long as you were realistic about the negatives that come along with the job it should be a bonus. just because they're all bitter bastards doesn't mean all mods need to be. even with having to keep your nose clean because of the celeb's past here you've never even inched against that line of being an ass to anyone. you're fair and open and funny, all three things being good for a mod. i knew the past with the celeb here would color things but i was honestly hoping to see you pop up as a choice, then wasn't surprised when they weren't willing to put anyone up but their own friends. the bubbles are silly but people shouldn't write off the drama surrounding them. you're 100% right that it's indicative of other problems. it's easier for the mods to do whatever they want and ignore or pretend the problem lies with those who dare to complain. i hope in the long run they leave you
