Meet the Mods: dark-daventry

[snabbott]

Well, as long as we're being honest...
Since I'm a Christian, I have my own views on homosexuality based on the views of God presented in the Bible. That said, I don't think any less of you because of it. I'm still glad that you are a part of the community and the team, and your lifestyle won't change that. Everyone on the team has been doing tremendous work, so if their personal lives contain things I don't agree with, that isn't going to affect my opinion of them or the work that they do. This includes you.

This.

[dark-daventry]

Oh- wow! Good on you Dark Daventry! I know how bad it is to hold in a secret deep inside that you want to tell people but know you shouldn't till the right moment. Homosexuality is still such a taboo thing even in modern society. I strongly believe though that with kind of open mindset and open heart, being homosexual will be an acceptable thing in 50 years time. Like showing skin. It took a LONG time before showing ANY skin was acceptable- heck, just showing ankles was sexual at one time, but now look! Women get away with bikinis and all sorts and it's ok. I think with determination, future generations wont need to shy away.

I have alot of Gay / Lesbian / bi / etc... friends, and to me, as long as they accept that I am not lesbian, and that I am 100% straight, then I'll giggle about ANYTHING they're interested in like all the rest. Welcome to the Alexander Fanclub, hon  I hope things are easier for you now that you've come out

Well, for what it's worth, I've been out in various places, such as facebook, my close friends and my family. I've been out with some of the team members, but that's all because of facebook. Now I'm out on the forums, and it feels good to feel accepted. I won't get into my personal opinions on religion here, as they don't belong here. All I'll say is that I respect religions so long as they respect me. So far, I've been respected, and that's good. The way I think, I'm not a gay employee of Phoenix Online Studios, I'm an employee of Phoenix Online Studios who just happens to be gay. Which means, I put my job first over my personal life. I don't think the whole world needs to know about my sexuality, and I don't flaunt it. Granted, my friends have dubbed me the straightest gay guy. I'm into a lot of "straight" things, so I don't fit the stereotypes, which makes it easier for me to "blend in" should I choose to. But as I said before, I believe you, the community, has a right to know about this. If I'm going to be working with PR, I think the community has a right to know about this. And besides, my coming out will help to pave the way for potentially more forumers to express themselves. If there are any other gay forumers out there, don't be afraid to come out. My coming out here has proved that we have an accepting community.

The movie won't load on my iPod touch, but I swear I've heard those lyrics somewhere...

I can't remember for the life of me what it's called, but there's this hilarious movie with Cuba Gooding Jr. where he pretends to be gay to get onto a cruise ship for free or something.  Been a while since I've seen it but he performs a musical number to this piece.

[dark-daventry]

The movie I reAlly want to see is I love you phillip morris. I'm a huge jim carrey fan, and a big plus about Phillip Morris is that he plays a gay guy. The movie looks amazing.

I was thinking more along the lines of this.

Good for you D-D! And there is yet more competition for Alexander. *Sums up the playing field*

Watch it, sister!  

We've learned from experience that Alexander prefers dark-haired, olive-skinned peeps, anyway.

Wasn't it called Cruise Ship or Boat Cruise or something? I never saw it, but I always wanted to.  Oh, Cuba...another schmexy man!

Well, I'm sorry to say, but Alexander may end up liking guys, so long as I have my way... And believe me, I ALWAYS get my way. I'm the youngest of three children, so I'm used to it... Thing's aren't gonna change now... Ya hear me?!

[Haids1987]

Gah ha ha, listen to you!   You don't realize that you're speaking to someone who is ALSO the youngest of three children...and a Taurus.  We Taureans are a dangerous breed, my friend, very dangerous indeed!  You better watch it! Mua ha ha HAAAAAAAAA!

Do you really wanna play this game with me, sister? I know quite a few things you may not... For example: I work in a grocery store. I have for five years. If I really wanted to, I could use my connections in the industry to stop selling your favorite products in your area. This would require me to go to my manager and ask him to make a bunch of calls, basically playing telephone. I could do it. I have friends in every major grocery chain in the U.S. You don't wanna mess with me. I will CRUSH your bread! I will CURDLE your milk! I WILL RULE THE GROCERY INDUSTRY FOREVER!!!!!! (or not...)

I could also just convince Phoenix Online Studios to stop producing the game... Or better yet, just change the whole alexander plot to make him gay... I do work for Phoenix, so I could. Not that my evil intentions would be listened to, but it's within my power to pitch the idea... The possibilities of what I could do are endless. Trust me, you don't wanna be messing with me. In fact, I already blackmail my teachers with their groceries. I have control of the food they buy. If they don't give me an A, their eggs may have an accident on the way to the car... It's worked so far (disregarding the fact that I'm a relatively good student to begin with. I'm sure that has nothing to do with it). So yeah, don't mess with me! I'm the kinda guy you don't wanna cross. I mean, groceries are important...

Not my bread!!!  For the love of cake, not my English muffins!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And hmm, you make an interesting point about being a POS employee.  But haha!  I've got the upper hand, you see!  I, as a devoted fan, help control the spread of word of mouth.  I could badmouth this company left and right!  Oh the things I could say about POS...things that would make your HAIR CURL!  (Yes, Rita Skeeter reference. )  I could tell people that the execs of POS feast on sushi made of boiled puppies!  That "Cesar" is actually Paris Hilton behind the username, and that Katie and Rick pretend to be Salvation Army Santas at Christmas, but take the money and support Paris' *snicker* career!

And the ONE TINY DETAIL about a certain PR assistant names Chris...that he actually goes by the name JK Rowling and ripped off the idea for Harry Potter from a starving English single mother, and uses the billions of dollars from book sales to donate to the "Salvation Army" *cough* PARIS HILTON CAREER FUND!

I'll make my own website, and link it to every Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube page I find!  www.downwithpos.com!  You'll see, you'll ALL see!  *Huff*Puff*

Sushi anyone?

Sushi anyone?

Touche my good woman, touche. But here's something you didn't realize: ip addresses. The ip addresses for Paris Hilton and Cesar wouldn't match up. Every computer in the known world has a unique ip address. J.K. Rowling's would be all the way over in England. That's on another continent. Mine is in the United States. Clearly, I can't be J.K. Rowling when she's over in England. And, we could match up the times each IP Address was used to determine whether I was hopping on a plane to make this one long elaborate scheme... Which, is preposterous of course... *burns the hundreds of plane ticket stubs lying around college dorm*

So you see, you're argument makes no sense. I just shot a huge gaping bullet into it. And let's be honest, I'm sure Alexander has fantasized about other men. I mean, who wouldn't want to be with Alhazred? (Yes, that is a joke.) And come on, Alexander's voice in KQ6, while dreamy, wasn't really so straight sounding to me. I detected a slight gay-ness to it. It's so soft and gentle, not strong and commanding.

Wow, I just used my own coming out thread to try and analyze how Alexander is secretly gay... That's um... Quite an interesting conversation pattern, I've got to say... And yes, I'd love some sushi. Just, not with puppies, please?

[waltzdancing]

I'm the eldest out of four so I can pull the wonderful thing called, seniority on all of you. (That's my ace in the hole  ) However, my only downfall is that I am as white as they come and blond so I've got a few marks against me there.

For the love of Alexander don't take away the English Muffins or grits.

[snabbott]

The movie I reAlly want to see is I love you phillip morris.

Jim Carrey in love with a tobacco magnate?

Ah, but IP addresses can be spoofed. Also, there isn't actually a unique IP address for every computer.

I concede. You win, good sir, you win.

Well, it's entirely within my power to take away the english muffins and grits if I chose to. All it takes is a few phone calls and then they're gone... And I'm also friends with some of the vendors that come to our store, such as coca-cola, pepsi, peperidge farm, arnold and so on and so forth. So case in point, don't mess with me. I got some pretty powerful connections!

[Enchantermon]

At least until we switch over to IPv6. >:)

Just kidding; even then, internal networks will likely still stick with IPv4.

Yeah I won't be trying to run my networks on v6, what a mess.  I'll just stick with the v4 unless something forces me to change.

[Enchantermon]

Yeah, as long as you're behind a router with an IPv6 address and NAT, I'm sure it won't matter what you use.
Of course, that's assuming that there exists NAT for IPv4 to IPv6, but I would assume that if there isn't yet, it will be coming soon.
