I second BrakABone's nomination. You guys really should have made him a moderator by now. I hope he gets his chance in the Happy Hour forum.
:sneaky:

[Typhoid]

Enh, I'll declare candidacy.

[Aladuf]

I'll run.

Will I win?... nope.

But we need full ballots :D

[thatmariolover]

[Swan]

Well, I have nothing to lose. So here goes.



I nominate myself for global supremacy/moderation

[Fox 6]

If i am elected, everyone will get punch and pie!

[Fox 6]

Well, happy filled the criteria first, he gets my vote.

[Dylflon]

I nominate Dylflon!

Yeah, Dylflon is sweet! Remember that time he was a mod a few years ago but then lost his position after many glorious months because he became inactive?

Is that someone we can rely on?

Well, he is plenty active now!

I agree, Dylflon is awesome. Let's all have sex with him!


Seconded!

[jeepnut]

I think consolation prize for being the first person kicked out of Tavernwars should be a mod position.

[Jason1]

I'll run, its always been a dream of mine...

[Bond]

A questionnaire has been PMed to all the candidates. Please PM me back with your response within the next few days.

[Jason1]

Ahem, its Jason1, not Jason.

[Bond]

You seriously don't prefer Jason over Jason1?

[Jason1]

You seriously don't prefer Jason over Jason1?

Seriously. Its always been Jason1 around here, no reason to change that.

[GameMaster]

Edit: Video removed.

I know you all have a lot of questions. And my campaign manager, BreakaBone, will be happy to answer them all in due time. Thank you for your support! And don't forget to vote!

[Dyne]

Jeff, I'm sorry. I don't want to be the bad guy. But I don't know what's worse - the fact you're openly admitting to smurfing an account known as Cheez-Its, which is a bannable offense nearly everywhere, or the fact you just used three of our real names, when you cried foul when we called you by yours. I'm sorry, you no longer qualify for modship, despite what ancient tablets may have been telling you, and I'm afraid we are going to have to suspend your account for a while before you try pulling a stunt like this again.

Furthermore, please do not try to circumvent this ban by registering any more users. We were fully aware of Cheez-Its the moment you registered it.

Your ban will be lifted in exactly a week. Please exercise your willingness to abide by our rules; we might consider shortening this ban on terms of good behaviour.

Dear Jeff Ford,

This is not me speaking as a moderator on these forums, but someone who went to bat for someone who asked for help. At your request I used more moderator power than I have in YEARS to help protect your identity, and you return that favor by acting like spoiled kid and playing pathetic "mind games" that fooled no one. The fact is you're an arrogant little child regardless of your real age.

The next time you want to whine about your treatment on these forums, if you return, go talk to someone else. I done. As far as I'm concerned it's open season on on Jeff Ford. If anyone wants to "expose" him, I won't be the one to stop them.

Until I get an apology (if you're even capable of one) for wasting my time and putting my name on the line: Fuck Off.

**** off,
Professor S

No offense, but can't you keep this to emails and PM's? Regardless of how he's acted you don't need to swear at him or belittle him on public forums. Particularly when you're supposed to be in a position to be looked up to.

Incidentally, even I knew something was up: http://www.gametavern.net/forums/showthread.php?p=218509#post218509

No, this needs to be done in the open, IMO. He's needed a public undressing for a while now. To be honest, you're not the one who got the "sincere" PM about the forums being "misused" and his identity being threatened and possible legal issues. You're not the one who put himself out there to try and protect someone who cares about nothing put their own agenda. Then he twists all of that trust and honesty around to amuse himself. I'm sick of it and I'm sick of the free pass he seems to get all the time for his stupid shenanigans followed by self-righteous dogma.

There are other people on this forum other than Jeff Ford and he can't be allowed to think he can simply do as he pleases.

I'm sure more people, included fellow mods and admins disagree with my actions here, but I'm doing what I think needs to be done. He needs a serious dose of humility.

If no one likes it, get rid of me. Thats always been my stand.

[The Germanator]

Man, this is crazy. In whatever way it kind of makes the forums exciting....Like watching the result of a car accident.

[ulala06]

i have b00bs. so i will not run, to save you all the shame of losing to a girl/voting for a girl cause she has b00bs.


b00bs.

[Typhoid]

I like how even though I nominated myself, I didn't get the PM.
I CALL SHENANIGANS!

I PMed you on Thursday and you replied back on Friday. It was titled "Election."

I have received everyone's answers except for Dylflon.

[Typhoid]

Did I really?
Hm.
Apparently I'm senile, too.

[Fox 6]

The drama!

[Bond]

I'm planning on having the first round of voting tomorrow, but I am still waiting for Dylflon's answers.

[Zen]

I have an election in my pants.

[BlueFire]

yes

[Swan]

I have an election in my pants.

Can I be your "campaign manager";)

[Dylflon]

I'm planning on having the first round of voting tomorrow, but I am still waiting for Dylflon's answers.

I've been at school for 5 days pretty much non stop!

Sorry for the tardy.

But I am here and in it to win it, baby.

[Dylflon]

I have an election in my pants.

Dibs on collecting "poll" data!

[Typhoid]

I just hope the ballot box isn't stuffed again.

MIRITE, MIRITE?!

damn it! i missed it...what happened here?

[Fox 6]

They found out he was cheez its or something.

[Happydude]

yeah, i know that...but what else? it would have to have been something a little more serious than that to tick the Professor off like that.
