@@Balareth

 

1. A Canterlot Wedding- The one which introduced me to FIM, for this reason it will always hold a special place in my heart.

2. Magical Mystery Cure - Twilicorn and the best music, probably the episode I have watched the most

3. Apple Family Reunion - 'Raise this Barn' was one of my favourite moments in the entire series, it was my favourite song for ages and the first MLP song I bought from iTunes.

4. Pinkie Apple Pie - Two of my favourite ponies are possibly related? What an awesome premise for an episode!!! Also, 'Apples to the Core'..  

5. Hurricane Fluttershy - Very relatable as I have also been crippled by anxieties stemming from childhood experiences.

6. Applebuck Season - Relatable again for a different reason, I can be rather stubborn xD

7. A Friend in Deed - Altruism at its finest, Pinkie's best episode.

 

Dinner calls! Hopefully another staffer will answer any further questions

Hello Mr. Staffer!

We're not all male! DX

 

how is a usual day for you?

Wake at the crack of noon, cleaning, puppy, ponies, rabbit, cats, ponies, sewing, work calls, ponies ponies ponies.

 

when you walk in the beach, what are the thoughts you have if may i ask?

What is that smell? Seriously, not a fan of water. Although it may look pretty, it always involves wet. Wet and sand? Even worse.

 

7 favorite songs and why?

1. Little Piece of Heaven - Avenged Sevenfold - Played it at my wedding, however inappropriate that may have been. Makes me laugh every time I hear it.

2. Golden Years - Bowie - Inspirational without being preachy

3. Silver and Cold - AFI - Would have been "the" wedding song, if I could dance that fast.

4. Worry List - Blue October - Kindest song about moving on I think I've ever heard.

5. Collar Full - Panic at the Disco - Love song that doesn't make me want to barf.

6. From Now on, We're Enemies - Fall Out Boy - Oh what's so wrong with a little competition? It's fast paced song about jealousy and anger. Absolutely love it.

7. Seven Seas or Rhye - Queen - A song about imagination that's fun to listen to <3

 

 

3 favorite movies?

1. Big Fish

2. Amadeus

Can't decide on a third o.O

 

7 favorite episodes from the show and why?

No particular order

1. Three's a crowd - Cadance and Discord, nuff said.

2. Canterlot Wedding - Despite its flaws, I LOVED this episode. There was a little *tear* at the line "My love will give you strength" line.

3. Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 - I love the concept of Flim and Flam.

4. Magical Duel - When Trixie asked about the pony playing 10 instruments, I laughed out loud.

5. Ponyville Confidential - Fluttershy's tail extensions XD

6. Rarity Takes Manehatten - Fave of the Mane 6, plus, dat song

wow! thanks for your answer! i would like to know, what has been your most embarrasing moment?

...I don't think that would be forum appropriate. 

 

Hmm...Nor would the second.

 

Third is out.

 

Ungh, okay I got one. Eighth grade I was in a school that was small enough to have merged the 7th and 8th grade classes. There were four classrooms that all faced towards a central quad area, and it had been snowing a few days before. I was walking through the quad during a passing period, when everyone in two grades was watching, I slipped on an ice patch and landed flat on my ass. Not only did it hurt like hell, it also was in front of my crush. When I went to get up, I slipped again, ended up in the nurses office with an ice pack strapped to my butt, as well as a phone call to my mom, who I could hear laughing at me through the phone.

oh am sorry

if you have to choose a pony to clean your house and cook, who may be and why?

It would have to be Twilight, because she's super neurotic. Everything would shine like the top of the Chrystler Building!

can you name 3 books that changed your life?

Every Goosebumps book, The Hobbit and Fallout Equestria. They didn't change my life too drastically, but they did make me think about a lot believe it or not
 

[Valynne 2,669]

have you ever found rude people in the forums?

As a moderator, I tend to be the one dealing with rude people, but most people on the forum are genuine guys and gals

[Valynne 2,669]

how ddi you enter as a moderator?

[Troblems 5,617]

@@Balareth,

It was Dawn Rider's fault. I was brought on to help in the EQE RP section. I kept getting given more to do until I had permissions in the regular RP section. Then Dawn Rider got promoted, and he was like "Iowanabealone" and I got promoted at the same time, with him. ><

Love you too Trolly

 

She can blame me for not wanting to be alone, but in truth it was her own ability that led to her being promoted.

 

As for me, I had been a staff member here for over a year and was promoted to staff the MLPF Section, however since then I've taken on a support mod role which essentially means I'm not restricted to any one section.

[Valynne 2,669]

Wow! so you get promoted? what was your reaction when you was promoted?

[Jeric 46,852]

There was Eminem and Max Headroom. 

 

I'm not kidding. 

 

Wow! so you get promoted? what was your reaction when you was promoted?

 

 

 

I GOT ALL OF THE JERBS!

[Frozen FlashDrive 85]

NLR or SE? why?

[Valynne 2,669]

Max Headroom? you mean the guy who stole the TV signal in England?

[Troblems 5,617]

Wow! so you get promoted? what was your reaction when you was promoted?

Srsly, I was pretty stoked. Been a wild ride, but I wouldn't trade it.

 

NLR or SE? why?

Who needs a republic when there's already an empire?

 

 

No, not that Empire.

 

 

 

 

That's better!

Don't let Jeric lie to you. He was asked to be a moderator, and decided to start with Q&A. NOW is when he has all of the jerbs.

Forgive me if this has already been asked before..

 

What's your least favorite part about being a staffer?

I think these both kind of fall into the same category. I hate banning people I genuinely like. While I never relish in banning anyone, banning people I like sucks.

 

I'm also not particularly a fan of being lumped in together as "the mods". The moderation staff were chosen based on our abilities to get a long with others, as well as how we put ourselves forward in the face of adversity. Finally, we have to be able to fight each other without getting angry.  We're each very different people, and between us, we don't always agree. When I get accused of having done something that I had nothing to do with because it was "the mods" it makes me sad that people are unable to differentiate between what we do on the forums and who we are personally and individually. 

 

Finally, It's not just the mods and admins that run the site. There's a lot of support staff that keep us running. @@Fhaolan and @@Khajiit are the two I rely on the most. There's also a PR team ( @ ) an art team ( @@Jamie ) and so many more people that keep everything running. I can't list them all because I know I would forget someone and feel like a jerk, plus then this reply would be even longer than it already is. They're all awesome, and I'm so grateful to every one of them. <3

Making Christmas Merrier has been by far the best part about being a staffer. Getting to contribute has been really exciting, especially because I get to sew as a result. As for the day to day stuff, EQE, the section I was originally brought on to do is a section I still get to work intimately with. Due to the post minimums in the section, I read almost every post in the section on a weekly basis. Watching everyone's writing improve, and the storylines they craft is pretty great.

 

Cadance is best pony, so yes. I actually had to look up what you were talking about in the last post. I knew what the New Lunar Republic and Solar Empire were, but I had never seen them shortened that way. 

[Frozen FlashDrive 85]

Me neither until my "non-"Brony friend described them to me as such, i myself am NLR.

 

 

Why does Phantomhive think Cadence of all ponies is best pony (sorry phantomhive xD)?
