harley: thank you- I agree

to you both!!! Having second thoughts about her sharing now...you can have it all Floose- I insist.
Do you think it's too late to ask about tea cozies? If it's not in the interview, maybe we can ask her here?


*wonders about the 'take a number'* too, but is afraid to ask

NOT a floosie: I'm intrigued by the 'pass me a spoon' answer. It's gotta be ice cream! And I think you should share!!!!

NOT a floosie: hurry Floose! I don't know how much longer I can hold my breath!!!

Andre Faria: I think to vote on the next person to be interviewed. I like your suggestion backoff

harley: I've got my thinking cap on harley- I'll send them to you before the day is out...

it has to do with Miss Clairol and the affect the sun has on it at that latitude I believe

Oh Clay, don't worry...NOT a floosie is a very good sport- you can ask her anything...absolutely ANYTHING!!!LOL
Don't hold back now, ya hear?

ClayNashvilleTn: I remember you wondering about my name too. I'm sure she wouldn't mind you asking about her hair. But..only her hairdresser knows for sure.

But I agree with harley, let's save these great questions and PM them to her to be asked in the interview. I have so many questions, I just can't decide what to ask. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

oh well, in that case, I'll send that question to you harley.......hmmmmmmmmm...what else can we ask NOT a Floosie???
Clay- that was a GREAT question and I think we all want to know the answer to that one!!!

mrloupcity: That is so sweet of you- I couldn't accept that- for the same reason you can't buy more. It wouldn't be fair to the other players, but it's very nice of you to offer. Thank you! I used them- I should have paid better attention. And the good news is that people playing against me know I'll be moving very quickly!!!LOL
Thank you again- that was very thoughtful!

I like the 'get out of jail free card' idea!

Pedro- you're dead!!! LOL!!

Whoops! I didn't realize that Black Queen was Black Brain King's wife....guess I'm disqualified.
I just liked the sound of it- sounded kind of 'dangerous'.
And it's also a very good song written by Stephen Stills- one of my favorites : )

Black queen? I LIKE THAT!

LOL at Pedro- I was gold for a bit..I save up my lunchmoney and do it for as many months as I can at a time. It's a little tight at the moment. But I will be gold again. People have worked hard to keep this place a positive one and it shows!

Fencer- I know it wouldn't be fair. In case anyone should misunderstand, I was only joking

Fencer: I don't suppose you get more when you upgrade, do you?
No more till January 1st, right?

Fencer: thanks Fencer. Bummer!

I recently noticed that I no longer have any vacation days. I have had a busy week with some things preventing me from playing as often as I normally do, but I still managed to log on every day and move the quick games that were getting ready to time out. I may have had one or two in the red, but not that many that I know of to have used all my vacation days.
But last I looked, I had something like 17 vacation days left and now they are all gone.
Has anyone else had this trouble- is there some sort of bug?

bumble: nice ears! : )

Jason: mine were back on yesterday

Tuesday: I guess you figured it out..no pay pal is another option. I never used MB..pay pal was just real easy for me.

Tuesday: I sent money to Eriisa through pay pal once. She got the money right away!
And you betcha there is nothing like a Texas Party- especially when it's such great Texas Women!! Yeehaw!!!!!

Tuesday: Oh and I would have jumped at that- I would have loved an excuse to head up to the Dallas area and take Eriisa out to lunch!!!
Texas Toest is up that way too- we could have had a party!!!!

You guys bring up a good point. I kinda liked the cloak mode, because people would question where I was going or who I was talking to, and I didn't feel it was their business. But if people are offended by it or don't like it because they can't see if I'm moving my games with them, then I can understand that. I'll remove mine.

You've asked for other people's opinions. Here is mine. The global moderators have been asked to give alot. They are criticized for what they do and are also criticized for what they don't do. No matter what they do, they are going to fall under scrutiny. It is an impossible task to have everyone happy with everything you do. I think that each of them gives careful thought and consideration to everything they do and say on here. I imagine they spend hours debating amongst themselves what is the best thing to do. Can you imagine the amount of time that requires?Everything they do or say is held up for all to debate and criticize. I've seen words taken out of context and twisted to be used for or against someone's arguements. I've yet to see one act in a way that can be construed as a 'power trip' or out of a personal crusade. I believe they are acting on what they feel is best for this site.

Fencer chose these moderators, I'm guessing, based upon their longetivity and familiarity with the site and its users, and because they have proven themselves over a period of time to be good moderators. I'm sure it was not as easy task.

I know of many moderators who have had a board or a few boards and thrown in the towel because of the frustruation being a moderator can cause. Anyone who has tried to moderate knows how thankless this task can be. Can you imagine having to moderate every single board on here and all that is posted on a daily basis? I couldn't do it. How can they even have time to have a friendly game or conversation with a friend with all they have to deal with?
If they are tougher on some individuals that post, couldn't that be because over a long period of time, some of these people have shown that they seem to enjoy causing a stir and creating havoc? I have read people bragging about being banned, holding it up like a trophy, intentionally pushing buttons to see how much they get away with. Time after time again.
I'm not saying there should be no debate about how things are done. Of course there should be, and if someone feels they are truly treated unfairly they should try their best to do something about it. That's part of what makes this site so great.

But, I think someone should speak up for the global mods too! They are peacekeepers, and if people kept the peace as they know they should, then we wouldn't have such a great need for moderation. The mods should be allowed to have a life too, to enjoy coming on here and enjoying games like the rest of us, their fellowships, their friends. I imagine they log on everyday and dread what they have to deal with. I, for one, am very glad every mod- global or otherwise, on here comes back every day. They don't have to, they are volunteering their time.

Luisifer: that's why I thought it was so great- because you are such a small country. We have the potential to do one as well...and as many as there are of us, it could do alot of good : )

Czuch Chuckers: I think that 13 of them stepping up and contributing is worthy of the server news. Yes, many others have individually done a lot for the site, but I thought it was cool that a group banded together for the good of BK.

Antichrist: yes, it is a site created by Fencer who is Czech, but I see people from all over the world playing on here.

Eriisa- that's two of us, 11 to go??? LOL

I don't think of it as racist at all. They want a special prize tourney for their country, so be it. Anyone else here is welcome to do the same : )
As Merrily said down the page, there was talk of doing one for English speaking people and wasn't started for lack of interest. The Czechs put their money up, they should be commended, noted on server news and not criticized. If there was more interest, others could do the same. I would donate to an English speaking prize tourney. Anyone else?

BerniceC: ok, the offer stands if you decide you want to do that. I won't abuse your trust. And at least you can be sure they will get to harley if you send them to me and you can be sure I won't tell Eriisa what you asked!

BerniceC: well if it will help, you can send them to me, and I'll send them to harley : )
I won't peek

BerniceC: send them in a PM to harley : )
She collects all the questions, sends them to Eriisa to answer and then posts the completed interview.
I'm working on my list too!
