In [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12999738&postcount=58](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12999738&postcount=58), we have a post by Gukumatz Winter Is Coming \*\*Moderator \*\* When did this happen? Why were not told about it so that we could get out the goat and the jackboot polish? Or were we, and I just didn’t get the memo? At any rate, conga-rats to Gukumatz, and welcome to the Imperial ranks! ---

Perhaps Gukumatz oughta stick to moderating the Game Room, and leave the Pit for actual Pit mods. Just a suggestion. ---

In the meantime, and in the same vein, if y’all wanna pretend I’m still modding and want to follow my marching orders, please feel free to do so. First item on the list: get me a beer. Second item: take the beer back and bring me a new one without the added spit. ---

The cursing was me venting my exasperation. In hindsight, it was wrong and I’ve just posted to that effect in the thread. However, “jurisdiction”, as you call it, isn’t as strict as the word implies - dividing the forums between us is more a way to divide workload than anything else. Since I was following the thread and I couldn’t see that **Miller** or the others were on, I stepped in. > [@TubaDiva](#): > > Winter is coming, you know that, right? Well, I’m in Norway, so it’s either coming or it just left. 😛 ---

Meh. “Bloody” isn’t cursing over here. It’s actually kinda comical. And I was wondering why your announcement thread was resurrected. ---

Also, he has a severe case of dandruff that falls over the poor cold animals, and kills their spirits. ---

Just looking around I feel like this is one of the more scattered forums I have ever seen. Its like there are several different conversations going on about the different yet the same thing…lol This is my first post.
