A few questions about moderators

I feel like this thread is turning into one of those logic puzzles where we’re given a series of random clues and we need to figure out everyone’s age. But we need more categories like everyone’s favorite football team and ice cream flavor.

“The youngest moderator cheers for the Patriots.”
“The person who likes vanilla ice cream doesn’t cheer for the Steelers or the Bears.”
"Asimovian is younger than Jonathan Chance and neither likes strawberry.

I loved those!

I like it. And at least one of your proposed statements is true, while at least one of them is false.

Age? Pffft. I want to know which one is the tallest.

I always pictured old xash as a giant among mods.

I’m willing to bet that Rico is the largest Mod. Sucker is built like a brick wall. Or he was the last time I saw him.

Then I shouldn’t have mocked him I guess. Sorry Rico! [Seriously, I honestly have never seen a note or warning or anything w/ [moderating] from him, or at least don’t recall…edit, nope, only a handful of posts in the past few years, a plurality in the Death Pool thread-which I don’t follow-and no other recent mod actions]

A giant among mods, maybe. A giant among men, not quite.

The tallest one ever was probably Giraffe. I don’t know now.

@IvoryTowerDenizen

Not saying. Especially since in a couple weeks whatever I say will be wrong.

So 29.something?

Or something

[Colibri]

My motto is, you can never have too many 29th birthdays.

Wikipedia says that Chronos is the grandfather of all the Greek gods and goddesses … that’s pretty old I guess … but time is relevant, not linear, or am I confused again? …

ETA: If the moderators could please tell us which of you have innie belly-buttons and which have outies … except for Lil’ Ed … I’d rather not know if you don’t mind …

@Covfefe

I’ve never seen Rico before. Hither whence thou didst hibernate, I gather?

Hanging around in the Copacabana, perhaps.

@Jonathan_Chance

Huh. You know, I don’t honestly know. I don’t think we’ve ever discussed our ages.

The one thing I’m certain of is that it’s not me. That feels pretty solid.

For what it’s worth, I’m 51. I started here when I was 33, just before my first child was born - about 2 weeks before - and she’s just graduated high school this week.

Now that’s stamina. Pretty sure I’d burn out after about 24 hours.

[Jonathan_Chance]

Just five as a mod. 18 as a poster.

And, to quote Tori Amos:

“If you know me so well, tell me which hand I use.”

But that Chronos cut his father’s balls off and ate most of his children. I believe how Chronos spells his name is confusing you–or me :), as well as everybody else confounding the myths over millennia–with the God of Time. Who had, as does I hope his namesake, a much quieter home life.

[snfaulkner]

Ok, but who would win a royal rumble of mods?

[Chronos]

IIRC, we did discuss relative ages at one point in the mod loop, and at the time, I was the second-youngest, but I don’t remember who was younger, and that might be outdated now.

@snfaulkner

Well, me. Duh.

[BlankSlate]

@Colibri

I am 66. As far as I know, I am the third-oldest mod. I will leave it to my seniors to reveal who they are…

Since they probably won’t show up, I’m guessing Gaudere and Samclem.

@BlankSlate

I’ve met them both. She’s much younger than I, and he’s older than I am.

Someone pinged me on this; I’m 29 at the moment. I was 21 in 2009 when I started modding the Game Room, which was new at the time, and retired in the middle of 2015.
