And speaking of green colors for names, why does Cryhavoc have dark green for his name, and Seibertron has light green like everyone else?^
Mkall retired from staff a year ago. We're all dark green, don't know what you're seeing there. RPG Moderators are light green.
A few years ago it used to be;
Orange - News Crew
Red - News Admin
Purple - HMW Moderator
Dark Red - Administrator
Then the threat of the Black Lanterns was too great and we formed the Green Lantern Corps.
This:![]()
Huh, It must have changed after I posted.
You know, the old colors might not be bad.
Red was the color for Administrators.
And if this went to a GLC theme I would have chosen the Sinestro Corps and the golden light of terror instead of the green light of willpower.

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

You have to get to LV.99 and have a rare item before beating the final stage, and then you become a staff member with special skills and attacks. It really helps when you're fighting the final boss, but News Crew skills tend to drain your AP so be careful of those.
In later games you automatically become News Crew at the halfway point.

What about needing the ultimate weapon?
And why has nobody bought me a burger yet?

It's because since Fender Bender's no longer on the staff, no one lives close to White Castle anymore.

That explains a lot as to why I'm still hungry.
I will be forever grateful for Fender Bender as he supplied me with Classics Magnus and Skywarp when City Commander was released. He saved me months of aggravation hunting for them.

Well, I suppose it just happens. I must say, this is a very mysterious site, with some very unique moderators. I'm still not totally accustomed to them. But if you want to be a mod someday, I'd say be a positive contributor. Here are my rules:
1. Don't ask to be a mod. It just says you want superiority and control.
2. Don't troll. Ever.
3. State your opinions as opinions, not as facts. Always.
4. Try to enlighten some overly argumentive folks once in a while; resolve some petty arguments.
5. Get Shadowman to agree with some of your points.
6. Go for at least several consecutive months without getting corrected by Burn.
7. Submit news if you can.
8. Post on the site often (as long as you're being intelliegent).

Not unlike Robofreak's version of that, it's easier or harder than it sounds, depending on a variety of conditions. Like, as explained, whether or not I'm giving myself a colonoscopy with my head at the time.

The ultimate weapon was down-loadable content you could get.

I think I broke all those rules except for maybe 6, 7 and perhaps 8. But what can I say, rules were made to be broken. They're not really rules, they're goals!

Exactly how many things have we even been able to agree on anyway?

You were the other one? I know he mentioned he was selling two, but I didn't know who got the other set.
I got the other set too. Does that make us like, long distance bros now or something?

In hindsight, I should have picked up about 20 of those sets instead of 5 when they were on clearance at Target for $7.50 a set.

Re: When and how did you become a Mod/Admin/News Crew?
Mkall, I guess out collections have related which in some weird twisted turn on events we are now brothers in the fandom. And think, it was all possible because of Fender Bender.
Fender Bender: In hindsight, I think all of us would have cleared out our local Targets and used the proceeds to buy realestate. Seriously, I remember the stacks of thos sets and never thinking twice about getting it. If I had known about the value it would have had, I would have cleared out the 20 Targets in the valley and just sold them over the course of time. I'd probably be able to buy a house if I'd had done that.

Oh, I thought of two more rules to round out the top ten:
9. Burn is always right. If he disagrees with you, YOU are wrong. No exceptions.
10. Burn is awesome. No exceptions. (he deserves a fan club, too)

You know, I hear a lot about White Castle, i've heard of it's nasty after effects, so it's something I want to try.
Burn and Robofreak go to White Castle?
Burn and Robofreak: Escape from Trypticon Bay?
And yes, filling in for the role of Neil Patrick Harris as Straight Neil Patrick Harris will be Mkall.
