A New Direction

[meat.eater]

With the stepping down of Wack-Head several weeks ago, rumors began to fly that we would be hiring a new mod for his replacement.

Well, I'm here to say that those rumors may be true. More specifically, we're looking to expand the mod lounge quite a bit. After many discussions, we've decided to take TAO into a new direction: split servers, more mods for specific servers, and employee contracts with individuals who with to be on board.

Nothing is confirmed yet, but if you with to be a part of this New Direction, please fill out the following application and post it in this thread:

[Magician]

SOB, the first mods were chosen through an application process.

[meat.eater]

SOB, the first mods were chosen through an application process.

First game* mods. This is an extension of that process. I'm posting it today so we can have the new system implemented before May 1st and we figured it would take a month to finalize it.

I didn't even process that today was April 1st (but if it makes you feel any better, M_G already took care of that...oops... :)).

I'd delete it and post it tomorrow, just for all you skeptics, but I think that's pretty pointless.

I would enjoy the power to help others in game and forums, I have seen this community grow since the early days. Instead of taking screen shots and reporting to the moderators, I would be able to do it single handedly. Personally I believe my experience with helping customers online, would make me a much suited personal for this role.

PS: if this is an april fools joke, so be it, but heres what I got to say and reply to your post.

Touche.

[monkus]

HA! It's funny cuz you really didn't know...

Or perhaps I was using the joke as an excellent opportunity to send a serious message.

Super oxymoron?

[mantis33]

Super duper oxymoron? Or just covering up from the fact that he was being completely serious? :p

[Wizzy`]

I think they know.

Apparently they don't, seeing as theres still people posting in the thread, y'know?

Unless you're talking about the people knowing the joke is over. Then, your post is pointless, and even more retarded.

First Clan Thread ever made was by Jaydude6, KoTR founder, calling for the clan *Knights of the Round Table*, second clan thread ever made was by Hydrant, KoTR Leader, which is the current Knights of the Round thread. Same day clans came out. So... lol?

Out of all people, you to think i'm being serious.

Ugh.

[Sangro]

well you did insult his clan. the only thing they have to be proud of is that they were the first clan ever. BURN! nah jp i love you hulky :P

[Jeffery]

Being first doesn;t mean much. Take the native Americans being here first for example.....

*light bulb moment*


So. Wonder if Hulks would like a new blanket.

[inked]

Does that mean Knights of the Round get exclusive rights to TAO gambling?
