[leungbok]

Cool to see a mod that it will be possible to destroy online in case of a conflict here !

[KIGO1987]

You brought up a very good point there Leungbok.

[JJPAP]

Ha, Leung
Grats and good luck, SatR!

[KGB]

Congratulations SR, well done.

I always knew you would go far.

[Golgofier]

Yey, gratz SR!

[Rapier Racer]

Well done! Fun times await you I'm sure

[AnErare]

Aah grand, a great addition to the team, congratulations to you guys!

Congratulations to you Chris, for earning this You've gained this position in quite a short time. That's a commendable feat!

[Lance]

Good luck Saturn. I have always thought your are able to weigh the issues and express yourself very clearly and calmly in your posts. So I know you will keep a clear head when all around you are losing theirs and you will do very well.

There's a literary reference to Kipling in there somewhere, but here's another that applies to the same situation: The Queen of Hearts.

[KGB]

They used to call Diana 'The Queen of Hearts'.
Look what happened to her: High speed chase, narrow underground pass, eliminated by the French. Sounds very familiar.

[SaturnReturn]

Thanks everyone. Not sure I like these 'Queen' references, but I'll reserve judgment once I get a clue what they actually mean.

I thought your name was Chris, thats what i have saved under messenger under your name from Arch's TDL back at the start of the year.

I thought Stevie would of been added as a moderator over SR tbh.

Indeed you are correct KIGO. My names is Chris. And there I was thinking I'd gotten away with that one. (Note to self: must try harder to fool KIGO )

Anyway, fair point about Stevie (I'm assuming you mean stin, right?). He has been here a long time. But at the very minimum I would presume the below quote is a good reason why he wouldn't be as good a choice as me right now. Basically, I'm going to be around more, which is a shame, because stin seems cool. Even though I haven't been around here a long time, I think I have a reasonable idea of what people feel is missing or has changed, which is causing some 'old-timers' to leave. Hopefully I can be a part of restoring that feeling and maybe stin will come back. Win-win, right?

Looks like this will be my last post here but I will keep on wiping from my true friends who knows what I`m talking about!

Yes, i have a very good memory for those kind of things, i remember that weekend well Arnaud was there as well. The Team Division Link Weekend that Archman created. Thats how i got your messenger address. Yes Stevie the Scotsman. But him and Arnaud even though they've been here since genesis they are very busy people, moding is a fulltime job, minus the pay, overtime, and sup benefits, lol. Interesting seeing a mod here in the similar age generation as i.

----

If anybody remembers this thread i created a while back http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6376 this came to mind just thinking about other mods before. I remember suggesting Stevie and Lunar being mods. This thread i made back ages ago when that Goodbye Yelder Thread crap occurred, when Darkdrium777 back in the day got suspended on something that was misinterpretation.

Seems like this got sorted out after all in due time. Back up to 4 mods again, like when i first joined this place.

[SaturnReturn]

You trying to suggest this was more to do with your suggestion than my overwhelming awesome-ness, which is equalled only by my overwhelming modesty (obviously)?

P.S. Thanks again Asayyeah.

[yeldar2097]

My names is Chris.

Ha! Busted!

[SaturnReturn]

I hate you. You do realise of course that I can now edit out both my original message and yours, which so cruelly points out my blunder? In my defence, I don't have as much time now for spell-checks, as I have more to read, much more. This could lead to a lot of sweet revenge for some. I really hope I keep my apostrophes in line.

[yeldar2097]

You could... but you won't, will you (menacing tone of voice obligatory)

I'll either keep on plaguing you just for gags or I'll stop and say this was only a throwback to our MSN convo last night. You will never know! Muahahahahahaha
Not until you next make a mistake at any rate...

[Lance]

KGB, it was not Diana I was referring to; it was a literary reference, not an Entertainment Tonight/TMZ reference.

[KGB]

I thought you were referring to Alice in Wonderland and 'off with their heads'. But I couldn't find any Wipeout related humour in that story.

[Lance]

It was moderators trying to keep their heads when all about them were losing theirs. Like Alice surviving the Queen of Hearts.

Well, I hope that's all settled. Otherwise, "Off with their heads!" Might as well use 'em for croquet.

[Mad-Ice]

Congratulations SaturnReturn! I always thought you'd be the man for the job. I am wishing you strenght and wisdom. Also a lot of fun in the pitlane!
