    Say hello to the newest Goldenrod Tower employee, me!

    I've been briefed on everything and Chris/Danny/Kyle have helped me with everything so hopefully I'll do a great job. I'll definately do my best...Irishman's honour! And I just want to say thanks to Mike, I think it's quite admirable for him to step down and admit that he hasn't been as active as he'd have liked

    So yeah...I'll have to get used to a few people's names here but hopefully that won't take long. I'm Eamon, in case anyone doesn't know. Now down to business ^_^ :

    (2/29) Do you have anything that is signed by a celebrity? If so, who, and what was signed? Is there anyone else you'd like the autograph of? If you don't have one, who'd you like the autograph of?

    Well, I got my Santa Rosa Symphony ticket signed by a guest violinist once... but otherwise, no. I think Weird Al Yankovic's signature would be cool to have.

    (3/1) Do you have birthday parties anymore? When was the last time you had one? What's been the best party? What was the worst?

    I didn't have a party this year, but I may still have a belated one. I threw one last year at Q-Zar, which I think was the best one I've done. I don't really have a worst one...

    2 MGs, please.

    So you guys decide to hire someone who dissed the AC/CC stuff, with pretty much none to little experience here? That is.. I don't know how to put it. That's a bit biased to put it as nicely as possible.

    Hire someone with experience. At least over half the people here are better and have been here for years waiting for the oppurtunity.

    I want to go against the hiring of Eamon and go for a competition. I find that EXTREMELY unfair.

    What in the heck are you guys doing?

    I'm with Zei. Hiring SL.. He's been here for only a few months, but that doesn't really say anything. People have dreamed to work here and you have given NONE of them a chance to prove themselves. Though I'm not a regular here, I have kept an eye out on the place for a while and Zei told me why she thought it was wrong, and I'm all for a contest. ._.

    Trust me, big mistake.

    Cheesey, I thought you were better than that.

    LOL

    I got coke up my nose in complete astonishment when i read that you hired eamon

    Eamon, trust me, if you aren't selfish i'd give up your position and give others a chance.. that was just stupid of them not even considering others who might have wanted to work here. I certainly would have, in my case, wanted my worker position back when the chance arrived. I mean there's nothing wrong with you working, other than the experience factor, but this is a big place, lots of people come here.. are the workers too blind to see that there are others here?

    but omg >_> that is just really low you guys. that's all I have to say for the moment. Out of the years i've been at the goldenrod tower, this is the most pathetic thing i've seen

    god damnit.

    Edit (again). Thought i should just c+p a convo I had with jay about it, who is against it also

    Cruption5 (5:59:46 PM): ...
    Cruption5 (6:00:00 PM): No.. I don't like what they have done.
    Cruption5 (6:00:31 PM): I also don't like the fact Cheesey said he'd tell me this stuff either.
    Cruption5 (6:01:03 PM): And he never did, did he?
    artzef (6:01:10 PM): =/
    artzef (6:01:24 PM): the workers there are total **** now after you left
    artzef (6:01:28 PM): the place has pretty much gone to hell
    Cruption5 (6:01:48 PM): Geez. I haven't seen something so stupid.
    Cruption5 (6:02:22 PM): It would have been okay a while ago, like a year, when we were desperate for workers and a few positions were open (since we hired Kyle, Mike, and Cheesey by consoltation also)
    Cruption5 (6:03:54 PM): The difference now is that the place has a lot of regulars, all the new people have turned into professionals and come regularly to the Goldenrod Tower. I'm sure most of them would like an opportunity to work there.
    Cruption5 (6:04:16 PM): Whereas a year ago, people were getting into the 'swing of things', and not many people were familiar with the place.
    Cruption5 (6:04:24 PM): But concerning Eamon, he's been there for what, one ****ing month?
    artzef (6:04:36 PM): something like that
    Cruption5 (6:05:21 PM): Tell them a contest is the way to go. Get rid of him. If he proves himself in the contest that he's better than the rest then he can keep his position.
    Cruption5 (6:05:54 PM): I don't want to set the rules as I no longer work there, but after years of working there I feel I have a right to say that was a wrong move they made, and a bad one.
    Cruption5 (6:06:02 PM): Without even thinking about the others.
    Cruption5 (6:06:05 PM): Selfish pricks.

    Er hold on a tick.

    Congrats Eamon, first of all.. I don't know why they chose you, but well done. I just feel that others like Gabi and Amy, who have been here for many years and have lots of experience with this place, should have a go. Or someone who knows the artificial background of this place, of which you don't know anything about. If someone asks you a question relating to history, are you even going to be able to answer something to as little back as when I was working (which you probably don't even know)?

    I would have suggested people send in worker applications like Quicksilver62160 asked for... At the time he was just working by himself, so he decided to conjure up a series of questions, including why you want to work here, how would you be an asset to the place, and just general snibbits of information. I don't see any form of worker application here, or any notification that there was going to be another worker, or any contest... You just hired someone.

    I guess you had the feeling it would be okay since that's the way we always decided workers, but the time factor has immense differences from when Kyle and Mike were hired via contemplating with Danny. And I got Cheesey working here, pretty much, because I knew he had the potential to be a moderator and I felt that's the way he should start and get things going. Of course, I was the one who screwed his dream up. Glad he isn't mad, but that's beside the point.

    Eamon, I'm not suggesting you leave (I kind of outbursted in the chat log that Clark posted), I want at least another person working here to make it fair, and this time I want a worker to be made a worker 'fairly'. It's breaking the traditional four workers, but you've already upset Clark, Zei, myself, and possibly many others out there not willing to speak up about it, or haven't had the chance to. :-\ It's sad to see a place poorly managed, not afraid to admit that. All the places are poorly managed one way or another... I hope to be active again. If you need pro-advice on something I'll work with you guys unofficially.

    Clark and myself are going to get another AC/CC game up and going, which he has already sent in to one of the moderators. I'm upset with the way things are going here. I have suggested numerous times ways to improve the place. Rarely have they been seriously considered, and that's why this place is falling... Not because you're not willing to consider my ideas and plans for the Goldenrod Tower, but because no one is willing to suggest stuff for the tower. That's why I'm setting up a new game. I want it to be different than the Goldenrod Tower in terms of how you handle players... But it's not following the same concept.

    Anyway. Whatever. In short I kind of agree with the guys above stating that you did make a wrong move in hiring Eamon in the first place, and I am unsure of why you didn't contemplate over it for more than two hours. But yeah, I'm upset that the place I loved is just splitting in half. Sad to say. I hope it doesn't stay like this and turn into BRS where you're lucky to get an update a week, and all the workers don't have enough dedication to the place to look after it... At least you guys have the updating manouver sorted.

    Enough rambling, take care.

    Ummm....not going there...

    (3/1) Do you have birthday parties anymore? When was the last time you had one? What's been the best party? What was the worst?
    No, I haven't had a real birthday party since I was....15, back in 2001. The best party I had was when I was 10, I invited half a dozen of my friends and we all went to the Rainforest Cafe and had a blast! The worst one was last year, I didn't even have a party and I didn't get any presents I wanted. Growing up stinks sometimes...

    (2/29) Do you have anything that is signed by a celebrity? If so, who, and what was signed? Is there anyone else you'd like the autograph of? If you dont have one, who'd you like the autograph of?
    Nope, not that lucky. And I don't think I idolize anyone enough to want to get an autograph of theirs.

    (2/28) Do you like jelly beans? If so, what are your favourite kinds? Least favourite? If you don't like them, what's wrong with them?
    Jelly Beans, yay! I haven't had jelly beans in such a long time! I love the popcorn and pizza flavored ones, also watermelon and strawberry. I think I had a licorice one once, I hated that.

    I don’t speak for Kyle or Chris, but I wanted someone responsible and helpful... There were other people I’d have been fine with, but the consensus seemed to be that Eamon was good.

    Please name these people that have been here for years and are dying to get a job.

    Err... first of all... when were you a worker here? And second of all, we did consider other people, and we are quite aware that there are other people here. Third of all, isn’t it selfish of YOU to call eamon selfish and then ask to work here yourself?

    Hmm... I guess having a contest or applications or stuff wouldn’t be that bad of an idea... I’ll have to talk with the other workers and see about that tho. Anyway I don’t see what the hell is the whole thing about four workers and why that’s been so important... And if you have advice for stuff I’d be glad to take it.

    Actually I’ve been planning to redo a lot of the stuff here... I’ll hopefully be getting that stuff done shortly. Anyway I’d like to hear from anyone who has advice/ideas/etc. about how the GT could be improved... so far I haven’t gotten that much in the way of reasonable ideas <_<.

    Well... we did contemplate over it for more than two hours... We’d been thinking about it for most of the week and had come up with Eamon as the main cantidate. And anyway, I’m sorry about the BRS being inactive, but I’ve been crushed by work for the last month or so but now I’ll be more active... I’ll start making sure to update almost every day here and at the BRS, and as soon as I can get some of the GT stuff sorted out I’ll work on rebuilding the BRS.

    No, I do not believe you considered this at all.
    Basically what it looked like you did is that you hired the first person who whined and asked to be a worker.
    Personally I agree with everyone who's stated something against the hiring of Eamon- I think it was just a sloppy and not very well thought-out action. Nothing against you, Eamon, but technically all you did was throw yourself into a job you really can't handle yet. If you had been here for just a bit longer I might have accepted this a bit more but still, honestly..
    I second the proposal that Eamon step down and you consider it a bit more. I know I have no authority over this, just a suggestion. I'm not asking for a contest here as I don't exactly know how it would work either.
    Pyrusette and I argued over this matter with Cheesey for a while to get new workers and we both stated we wanted to be workers also, we don't even get one bit of consideration?
    I just don't think Eamon has enough experience to be hired yet. He's only been here for a while.
    Basically, I agree entirely with Jay's post, although I added a few things.

    First of all, I don't think that you should be blaming me personally for being the newest employee of the tower. Last week, when I saw that there was difficulties updating, I only said that if any help was ever needed then I'd be more than glad to lend a hand. I didn't choose to be employed, I offered my assisstance and the guys were obviously greatful for that and saw that when Mike gave up his spot, they'd take me up on that offer.

    It's a clear fact that I've only been here a short time but I know what way the games work, it's not like there's a huge amount to learn. I've gotten used to the randomizer already and know how to do the other games also - and now that I've been given a good pokédex link, I should have no problem in doing the other games. I have to say though, I don't think that employee spaces should be given to people simply because they know about the history of the tower...experience at knowing what way the games work is good but you don't need much experience here to get into the swing of things and to be honest, a position shouldn't be based on someone's knowledge about the people that worked here 3 years ago and who the place was passed onto. I know for a fact that when I got my PCG mod spot I wasn't very aware of who former mods were and what caused changes etc. but that didn't stop me from doing as good a job as others.

    Thirdly, I won't be giving up my spot. I'm not being selfish working here. I'm very enthusiastic towards working here and helping people. I don't intend on going against the employment of anyone else. It wouldn't bother me if more people were employed but if you say that offering a lending hand is being selfish then I don't know how you're thinking. I didn't take up the position to irritate or offend anyone. So yeah, I'm not giving up my spot here simply because people are envious towards me. I don't blame you because nearly all of you have been here longer for me but the owners obviously employed me for a reason and I'm not going to give up my spot simply because other people want it...but I'll agree with the employment of another worker if it'll keep people happy employing someone 'fairly', as you put it.

    And I'm not taking part in a competition. I'm not going to compete for a position that I've earned fairly. I might have only arrived here 2 months ago but I've been as active as other members, who post here, since I joined and I've done nothing bad towards anyone. And as I already mentioned, I don't consider or see how knowing about the tower's history makes someone any better at helping to run games than me. The only way I'm leaving is if the owners ask me to.

    I don't think that the owners would want to ruin the running of the place and general enjoyment of the GT - and personally I don't see how an extra worker would - but I trust their views and if they feel, in the future, that it was a bad idea and they ask me to leave, with valid reason, then I will but I won't be happy losing something I just gained and have had fun doing. It's like giving a child a new toy and then taking the toy away from him/her 2 seconds later. I'm not saying this place is my toy...just comparison.

    (2/3) Which member of your family are you closest to? Why? Can you remember a specific event where you had a great time with this person or are you just close all the time? Are there any members of your family that you try to steer away from? How come?

    PS: I don't want my employment to the start of a flame war here...so if this could be discussed in any other way, it'd be good for the Tower.

    You earned it fairly? Eamon, I'd keep telling yourself that to make yourself feel better about it but I can assure you right now that is not true.
    The owners were obviously too lazy to think of another way to hire a worker so they simply hired the first person who asked. You did nothing to 'earn' that worker spot. You asked for it and they gave it to you.
    Reffering to your little 'metaphor' there, what if another child wants that toy REALLY BADLY and thinks it's not fair that only you get it? Shouldn't they compete over who gets the toy or find some other fair way to decide who gets it?
    I think you're missing the point here- We're not blaming you for anything, we're blaming the owners for making a mistake. I'm not saying you'd be a bad worker, Eamon, I'm just saying that they gave absolutely NOBODY else ANY consideration. That is our point.
    At least, that's what I feel.
    All I have to say to the workers for now until one of them replies is- you're good at doing things behind people's backs

    I offered a hand.. Guess that means I should be hired also, huh?

    By competition, they mean you actually trial here. So guess what, the employees could actually start this so called contest now and it wouldn't effect you either. You're the first to be trialed for a worker position. Perfect, guys.

    One thing about a business, and this is coming from someone who has worked at practically every business in PCG, you do NOT treat ANY job as a toy. That is the first impression I get you aren't taking the job seriously, where you are meant to have fun, if you have too much fun, you may as well just be sitting back, relaxing, and being updated for.

    I talked to Danny and another worker or two is being organized. Kyle is on thin ice by the sounds of things also.

    Unfortunately it's not as hard as you think for the people here to disapprove of this and think 'Okay we're uncomfortable with Eamon working here, workers, do something about it'. If you're going to act stubborn and say you're not leaving because you're on trial to see how you perform, then you're sorely mistaken.

    You are part worker, part trying out. If you do crap you're out of here quick smart. If the vast majority of people here disagree of you being hired (and right now it's 100% of the people), then you cannot continue to work here. And yes, in the end, it's the workers who decide what to do. I hope they make the right decision and do something about this, an option is firing you and after looking at your stubbornness I'm all for it.

    Also, no, the tower is where things are to be discussed. This is an argument that needs to be put to the public. I'm sorry you don't approve of it and it may diminish your reputation here, but that's the way things go. Ask a moderator and 'help out', and get a business debate topic set up so it doesn't clutter up the threads.

    See, it's fun to use your brain.

    @Jay:
    I can guarantee I'm not treating the Tower like my toy, it was simply a comparison that if you give someone something and then take it away from them, when they're only starting to enjoy it, it's quite wrong IMO.

    I don't mind being on trial at all, they can sack me after 2 weeks if I'm not doing a good enough job but I still wouldn't agree with sacking me if I'm doing a good job. Feel free to employ another person, I don't mind.... I thought that by comptetion you meant a quiz or something, which I wouldn't have done - not out of subbornness, just because I wouldn't have seen how something like that could determine it.

    And like you said, it's up to the owners. You sound like you still run the place...the Tower has been passed down to someone else.


    EDITED.

    I still have a say, and both Danny and Cheesey come to me and talk about Goldenrod Tower stuff with me often, I feel I do have some importance by contributing to this. I've worked here for years. I don't run the place, and it doesn't matter if I sound like I am, if the workers wish to consider my/our opinions, entirely up to them.

    Edit: And I forgot to say, I'm sounding knowledgable and I know what I'm talking about. There is a difference from sounding like you run the place to sounding knowledgable about the matter.

    I'm just posting to state the following:

    If the owners wish to have a proper application process for Mike's open spot then I'd be more than happy to fill one in, like everyone else. If I don't get the spot then that's fine, I understand that people want things done fairly around here - but on that chance that they still stick with me, I can safely say that there would still be people thinking 'Unfair!'

    If the owners do not wish to have an application process, that's fine with me also.

    So therefore you can't blame me for being willing to apply like everyone else and be fair about this, but I still don't accept people's view that I haven't been here long enough TO be employed.

    Well, I'll stop arguing. Though, if something sparks the argument to my interest expect to see me return to the debate.

    Anyway back to the GT poll. Eamon, just remember you can reply to the polls you make.

    (2/3) Which member of your family are you closest to? Why? Can you remember a specific event where you had a great time with this person or are you just close all the time? Are there any members of your family that you try to steer away from? How come?

    Also you could calm down with the questions ^^; just a suggestion. Reserves ideas, yannow?

    I'm closest to my mother. I talk to her about everything and I feel most comfortable with her just because I do @_@ We're close all the time, there's really no specific great time we've had.

    I steer away from my uncle. He's a prick. I always feel he's plotting against me as he hasn't talked to me for one whole year, and he lives in the same house as me! I just feel very awkward living or being around him that I need to conceal myself all the time.

    It's up to the owners now.
    All I have to say to the owners is, make the right decision that you feel is the correct one, k?

    I'm probably closest to my mother because I tell her a lot of things and she helps me with them when I really need help. She's always a good helping hand that's watching out for me.
    Yeah. A lot of times.
    I probably try to steer away from my grandmother a bit more, she's annoying as hell. She treats me like I'm still a 6 year old. And she always has to have her way too .-.

    1 MG would be appreciated

    This is a hard question for me to answer. Currently its my cousin who just started college so i dont' get to see him much anymore. However, it was my granddad when he was alive. I don't know if he knew how much he meant to me when he was alive but i know i've missed him more than i ever though possible. He had cancer and no one knew till after he died. I son't know why i was close to my grandad, we just was. He was there ofr me whenever i needed him, and i dodn't think he ever got mad at me though there were times when he voiced his displeasure. My cousin, We grew up together and have always been close. We've been there for each other, and when our grandad died, we supported each other thoguh we were both upset. With my granddad it was the time that he and my grandmother and my parents and I went to teh Smokey Mountains for vacation. It was the only one that they ever went on with us, and we all had a good time. With my cousin, I'd have to say that were close all the time. The one person I try to steer clear of, is my grandmother on my mom's side. She always puts me down and makes it obvious that she likes my younger cousing better than me and my mom. She has purposly tried to start fights and attempts to embarrassess me every attemtp she getts. Then she tries to make me look bad becuase i try to avoid her so i won't say the wrong thing, or get put down for the millionth time

    Id also like 20 games of group one scratchcards for 2 ccps (2,3,5) please. *hands over the mg coins*

    Okay... I still need to discuss the worker problem with a few people, but for right now I'm standing by my choice of Eamon as the person who seemed the most responsible, friendly, and helpful. It has nothing to do whether he asked to work here or not. Whether you want to beleive it or not, I considered other people too.

    Now, no more flaming or arguing over this in this topic anymore. Period. If you want to argue, do it over AIM or PM's.

    (3/1) Do you have birthday parties anymore? When was the last time you had one? What's been the best party? What was the worst?

    I have my friend stay overnight for my birthday :O. We stay up until about 4AM playing video games. Funfun . THe best and worst party... I dunno. All real birthday parties I've had were back from third grade or lower :O.


    (2/3) Which member of your family are you closest to? Why? Can you remember a specific event where you had a great time with this person or are you just close all the time? Are there any members of your family that you try to steer away from? How come?

    I'm closest to my mom and my dad, because I know them the best and stuff. I dunno anything in particular that was a really great time . I don't have bad relations with any member of my family... well, my 8 year old brother is incredibly annoying, but that tends to happen ;/.

    Im ignoring your request to stop fighting here Dan as obviously this is just a way to make us say 'okay, Eamon is permanent.' Im not standing for this and this is going to kill GT having him here. Just trust me
    Err... first of all... when were you a worker here? And second of all, we did consider other people, and we are quite aware that there are other people here. Third of all, isn’t it selfish of YOU to call eamon selfish and then ask to work here yourself?
    1. I was working before Quicksilver was here. I dont remember who I was working with, bunch of n00bs though lol

    2. I was willing to assist but Eamon was online before I even woke up. Was that just a speed contest to see who wanted to assist first? that proved that you hiring him in the first place was completely and utterly UNFAIR

    3. i'm not acting selfish by saying so. i'm not afraid to say that I want to work here, but if I don't it doesn't matter. I don't want him working here for the simple fact he was hired unfairly, geez. Why don't you listen to everyone else complaining? Has there even been ONE person who's happy with him being hired? TAKE A LOOK.

    I'm not responding to the rest of the garbage, I dont want to make an essay out of it. I just want you to specifically look at point 3 I made. No one is happy with him being here

    You're making the whole tower unhappy, and if you're not going to act on it you're just going to get people to leave completely... oh, you don't care, I mean, eamon is so godly isn't he, dan and cheesey? >_>

    just get jay back in there, he owns Eamon any day, and its not like any of the previous employers dont want him he's been here, he left because of personal reasons. if he wants to come back, and i dont know if he does, shouldnt he be able to come back?

    if jay was hired the same way eamon was, that would have been okay because a bunch of assholes forced him to leave TPM, but he's back, he loved his job, people say he was the best worker around, doesn't that mean something?

    I guess it comes down to the workers and himself, but I'm requesting that jay be hired

    when eamon is fired or when jay is hired, is the point where i will stop arguing. i dont care if I get banned because of me complaining

    we luv jay

    (3/3) Do you talk to any of your relatives online? Who? Do they visit the same sites as you? How about friends from school/uni? Talk to them online? Are you members of the same places (no advertising ^^;;; ) ?

    My cousin is really the only relative I talk to online. We talk all the time on MSN. We visit similar music sites because we like the same music kinda, and we're members of a very active music message board also. I have around 8 or 9 school friends on my MSN list also. One of them is a member of that music message board also. ^^

    1MG Please

    EDIT: I edited Danny's scratchcards. Thanks Haunted Toilet! It didn't occur to me ^^;;; First and last time that'll happen ^_^ *takes note*

    SC's: you didn't state which group =/
    Danny stated he wants 7 Stamps, and if you knew the formula properly, 7 stamps = Group 2 scratchcards. I'm not even a regular here and I know that...

    I don't know how hiring Jay will cure the problem, but I'm all for that. Definitely. I just want Eamon demoted and him fill in a proper application form. How can you be so certain there aren't others more responsible, and such out there, as you're stating? That is total contradiction.

    I'd say my mum, probably because she's the easiest to talk to and is around a lot. We've been close for most of the time, I can't remember a specific event. I try and keep out of the way of my brother, because he's the most annoying person aroound, thinks he looks so cool by swearing, think he's so big etc etc

    Seeing as how you and Eamon live in different time zones and he wakes up before you do (or so I believe), I doubt he was rushing to assist first

    The only people who are unhappy with this is you, Jay, Haunted Toilet, Aquatic Fury and KinkyAdidas. You, HT and KA aren't even regulars to this forum and are only here because you are latchkeys to Jay (I dicussed this with Jay so don't go off running to him about it). Aside from you guys, no one else has spoken up about this at all and as far as I remember, there are a lot more customers than you guys

    I personally don't care if Eamon works here. Yes, I was a bit angry that he was hired even though he's a newcomer to this forum and he was against AC/CC before. And it was foolish of Dan and Chris to hire someone without doing a proper competition or something. However, he's doing a fine job now as he's active and wants to learn so unless someone speaks up and wants to really work at the GT, he should stay

My apologies for thinking that at all, I'm really enjoying the sub-forum and hoping I'll start posting @Eevee House in the near future

    ~_~ well, ignore my request to not fight. Feztra, that's an official warning for you... And there'll be more for anyone else who can't seem to shut up.

    Anyway, a few points that you seem to have missed.

    1. Since when was it a requirement that people must fill out applications or participate in a tournament to be hired? And how would that even apply to the GT? IMO, the best worker would be one that's responsible, friendly, and helpful, and my choices were people who fulfilled those qualities.

    2. Seeing as I considered everyone who's been consistently active based on the categories I just explained, it should be obvious that I did NOT base it on Eamon asking to help first or whatever.

    3. So far, the only people who oppose Eamon are Feztra, Kelly, Jay (plus two people who never post here and really have no reason to be yelling). That is decidedly NOT all of the tower, and I will not treat it as such.

    Anyway, I still need to talk about this with some other people (namely Cheesey). Until then, I can assure you that NOTHING is going to change.

    Clark, I appreciate you assisting me but you can cool it off a bit. Thanks for the support man.

    Don't give me a warning for this, I'm not joining the argument again. I want to make two seperate points.

    1) Haunted Toilet was a regular at PCG way back when feztra was working... And you can call KA my 'significant other', though he doesn't have much clue what he's talking about, he has as much background as Eamon has. You can't actually say they have no clue what they're talking about, they actually do. Just needed to say that before you want to complain about it.

    2) Anyway, Bec, you say this..
    However, he's doing a fine job now as he's active and wants to learn so unless someone speaks up and wants to really work at the GT, he should stay
    I seriously do want to work here, as Clark has stated. This was the first place I worked at and I had to leave to give Cheesey a chance at moderation, not to mention both my life was a) hell, and b) everyone was an *** to me at the time I requested to be demodded, and eventually requested to be banned. I know Danny has said there is pretty much no chance I'll work here because of Kyle's desire of getting a 'female' worker on board (biased but whatever). If I get my job back I'll be ecstatic, but if not, meh. I don't want to act stubborn, but it won't happen like with the Battle Tower if I was rehired. ~_~ Umm, yeah, that's all. *Walks off* No complaining, whee.

    (3/3) Do you talk to any of your relatives online? Who? Do they visit the same sites as you? How about friends from school/uni? Talk to them online? Are you members of the same places (no advertising ^^;;; ) ?

    Relatives: No, though I wish I could keep in contact with my niece's and nephews a bit more, since I relate to kids younger moreso than adults or ones around my age who appear to have little grudges with me ~_~ And heck if I know if they get on the net, lol.. I know two of my niece's visit neopets.

    I have friends from my old highschool and from my former TAFE program on my MSN messenger, and I talk to them a lot, but not as much as the people online. And hell no, they're not members of the same place.

    I have nothing to add to this argument, except that I hope that I was at least considered.

    (2/3) Which member of your family are you closest to? Why? Can you remember a specific event where you had a great time with this person or are you just close all the time? Are there any members of your family that you try to steer away from? How come?

    I think I am the closest to my moms (Yes, moms. Deal with it). They are the only ones who I see often, since all my other relatives are at least an hour's drive away. I have fun with them all the time!
    One relative that, thankfully, I don't see much, is my cousin, Sam. He's autistic, and a teenager, so the hormones are kicking in, and... well, sometimes I don't think he realizes that I'm his cousin. O_o

    (3/3) Do you talk to any of your relatives online? Who? Do they visit the same sites as you? How about friends from school/uni? Talk to them online? Are you members of the same places (no advertising ^^;;; ) ?

    I don't talk to relatives, but I do talk to my friends via AIM and Xenimus (an online game).

    No, except the rare times when I talk to my sister which is basically when I need to tell her something or when she's just annoying me and I'm trying to get her to shut up. No, we don't really visit the same sites, she's against the whole Pokemon thing and thinks all of my online friends are stupid. She's the stupid one
    Yeah, I talk to a lot of my friends from school. They make up about.. 1/6th of the people I talk to :O. No. They're not allowed to go on message boards for some reason =P

    1 MG please.

    As for my MP:
    MP (reduced): Charizard, Milotic, Magneton, Ho-oh, Tentacruel, Meditite, Celebi, Slowking

    Q: Is the Pokemon capable of learning Surf?

    EDIT: I'd like to go to the Forge and forge my Spark Gem and Hollow Stone together to make a Thunder Stone to evolve my Pikachu into a Raichu. *hands over 2 stamps* That leaves me with 15 :O
