Graphic Designer.

It's like being a parent to thousands of people.

Pepsi.

Comfortable.

How did we get such a popular server? Hard work, devotion, and a staff who works harder than you do. Seriously, this server wouldn't be what it is without them.

Heh, some days you love it. Whilst others you wish you were a normal player. That said though, being a mod is worth it, it good to keep you guys in one piece.

I assume soft drink? So ill say Vanilla Coke.
What's it like where you live?
Hot as hell itself. For example today is 40 °C (104 °F)

Question for Milo... IN FRENCH!

Milo, Combien tu aime jouer beaucoup aux jeux video tous les jours? Un peu? Bien? Beaucoup? Ou ne jouer pas?

And I didn't use Google Translate AT ALL to type in this question! Only my basic knowledge of French!

Sorry for asking another question out there, but for all the foreigners to the U.S.A. (including the mods living in Canada,) have you ever visited the United States before? If you have, how would you compare America to the country you're living in? Give your HONEST opinion! :P

Oui, however... I know a handful of words at best and I have no way of forming them into a sentence, and I can not really read any sentence or answer a question (Or for that mater even ask a question of my own)

I do not have even 10% of the knowledge to even begin talking with or even understand french.

Mountbatten:What's it like burning me?
First question: The sense of ambivalent feeling seems to be the right one. Most of the time I love it here, and I've worked myself into a comfortable routine, meaning I'm usually on every day. However, there's always a price, such as recognition (fame, no matter where you get it, has its perks, and its foibles), and the questions. That is not to say I don't mind questions, but I think many here can admit that some of those questions just don't deserve an answer.

Second question: Everytime I burn you I feel a cathartic sense of relief as a combined loss of tension and flood of endorphins works together to make me feel at peace with the world.

Oh yes, I'll answer the other questions too now. Couldn't be bothered before.

Job: I do not have a job. I'm a member of the upper class, and of the House of Lords, neither of these exclusive groups' memberships count as a job, because you don't have to do anything.

Pop: Mountain Dew. Yes, I have an affinity for it.

Country: I like England. The people, not so much. The weather sucks but we have a nice landscape.

I'm a lazy good for nothing student and will be for 3 years :D

Ahh it's fun being able to troll without being beaten to a pulp by mods :P

I'd have to say Dr. pepper or fanta ^^

It's rather bland tbh not much happens in Britain, we only ever have mild weather nothing like tornadoes and stuff like that which is good.

Work at home for a major tech company.
I get to ban people who overly annoy me - it's great.
Coca-cola
Frickin' cold and snowy right now, but we don't get tornadoes, earthquakes, or hurricanes, and I don't have to check my boots from poisonous critters before putting the on, so it's all good. Weather here can be a major inconvenience, but it rarely kills anyone. And I'm on the upper east coast of the U.S.

Yes, I did go to school in BC, however, due to learning problems I dropped out of french classes and never did learn it. I am now trying to learn, but I have just started. (See above for what I know so far... which is as I said "not have even 10% of the knowledge to even begin talking with or even understand french." Don't argue what I do and do not know, because I MYSELF know what I do and do not know)

My boyfriend is native to quebec and speaks both french and english.

We moved here so he could be close to his family, and I tried to learn french from a school which kind of helped but I need to seek help somewhere else.

Well, I am the youngest moderator, and do not have an occupation as such as per law and the British Education System, but may soon be a waiter :D ('Tis a possibility)

Eh, has its ups and downs, all round I'd say it is good, but you have to dedicate quite a bit of time to it.
Favorite pop?
I would have to agree with Blackadder and say vanilla coke, despite the fact they do not make it in the UK anymore.
What's it like where you live?
Rainy, cold, occasional snow, but no extremes of weather, or deadly animals, so s'all good!

No job at present. I'm a sixth form student, who is currently being buried under mountains of coursework. :\

Enjoyable but at the same time demanding.

Coca-Cola.

Cold, wet, and miserable. But we have fierce British patriotism (Also known as a horrible sense of cynicism) to make up for it.

We moved here so he could be close to his family, and I tried to learn french from a school which kind of helped but I need to seek help somewhere else.
Ok then, Milo, here's a quick lesson from this high schooler.

"Tu" means You.
"Je" means Me.
"Il" or Elle" means He and Her, respectively.
"Nous" means We.
"Vous" means you, when you're being formal or when you're talking to a group of people.
"Ils" or "Elles" means Them, Ils meaning "them guys" and Elles meaning "them girls". (If there's a group with males AND females, you always use "Ils".)
Also, "tout le monde" means everyone! (Actually, it means "all the world", but it pretty much means everyone.)

*EDIT* To translate the question I asked in French in English, I said:
"How much do you like playing video games all the time? A little? Enough? A lot? Or do you not play video games at all?"

Crash, I will answer your question by giving you a link

http://www.backloggery.com/sadrack

The link goes to a site called the Backloggery, a website dedicated to listing and showing what systems and games you own.

The profile is my boyfriends account, but we live together and share the systems and games as one.

Needles to say, with a library of over 500 games, I do in fact play video games and I do it alot ;3
