UESP Forums

How did you become a mod.
I helped out Leilah when she took over, I reported, and generally helped out. But i have no clue what made them give me powers.
Cats or dogs.
Dogs. Seriously.
Do you have a list of all mods, past and present... and future!
Yes, Yes i do.

All: Favorite Ex Mod?
That foreign one.
Generalno1: Who gave you this title of 'no1' or is your head very largely inflated?
My 11 year old self gave me that title, and i rather trust him.

favourite Elder Scrolls Game, along with your most prominent Elder Scrolls memory or experience. And additionally, describe the day you joined the UESP. Why did you join? Any memories that stick out from that day?
My favorite is now Skyrim. Such an awesome game. I have loads of moments, my recent Skyrim moment was that time i ended up running from that bear in the marsh lands, but inevitably getting killed. Then there was that brilliant fight with with my first random dragon. and that dragon i killed while wearing fine clothes and a sword. I joined and asked a stupid question, and was very very cautious. I don't think anyone remembers me from my first year.

Is Avron REALLY a Sload?
Yes. she sent us all a picture of her without her human disguise.
Do you have to perform the Black Sacrament to get the mods to contact you to become one of them?
Not really, we have a hotline. when we get a call, we put on capes and masks, and get in front of our computers while shouting catch phrases. Mine is Yipee-ki-yay.
How many chucks could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
roughly 12, i think. depends on his teeth.

Which forum members do you ship? For example, Cam/Mrs. T, Weasel/Chaos....
Kestral and Rhavie.

Skyrim.
Color?
Green.
Role model?
Many people.

Would you name your son or daughter "Dovahkiin" if you got free TES games for the rest of your life?
Nope.
What makes this Mod team so awesome?

That The elves are snobby. Except the Bosmer.

Who would win in a fight a bear or a shark?
The bear, since the shark would only be able to bite and attack near the edge of the river, if the Bear got on land. If they put aside their differences, they could accomplish so much...
If the early bird catches the worm, then why do good things come to those who wait?
Because we aren't birds. We're humans, and humans are lazy.

Wanna buy a watch?
If it's water proof, and doesn't break under 500 KGs of pressure, has a warranty, and looks posh.

Windman.

In the matrix.
Did you answer any of these questions honestly, and if not, which ones?
I answered every single one honestly, because i am a man of honor.
Which user is your favorite?
That foreign one.
You must cross a fox, a bag of grain, and a chicken across a river. You can only take one of your burdens across at once. If you leave the chicken alone with the bag of grain, the chicken will eat the grain. If you leave the chicken alone with the fox, it will eat the chicken. How do you proceed?
I take the chicken across, then the grain, and then the fox. then i laugh at all of them for the trivial task they put before me, and walk away.
Is the concept of time correct? Is time relevant?
Not really, Time is relevant, but the exact nature of time is mistaken. Time is not a river, flowing in one direction, It's an ocean.
Hello? Is anyone there?
Yes.
What is the greatest secret you're willing to share with us?
The body is behind the University, under the roses.

If you could can choose an animal that you can commit a full-on genocide on, which animal would it be?
Birds. Freaking birds. If specific birds? The koyal. Annoying creation. In morning, KooOO, KoooOOO, KOOOOOO. If i could shoot them all, i would.

Am I funny?
Yes, in the, awww...look! he's making a joke! kind of way. Though you are funny.
What is better? Home cooked dinner or restaurant?
Taste is taste, weather at home or in a restaurant. It's not like you can say, restaurant food is inherently better.
What do you do for fun?
Books, games.
It's UESP's birthday and you only have a roll of silver tape, a can of spray cream and some forks, how do you construct the epic birthday cake?
Use the forks to create a structure, and use the tape to hold it together, then spray it. Then, run.
Should Dark Lord kill Mucro?
Sure, go ahead.

Do you spam in the Mod forum?
Quite often. It's not like you can verify, so Haha.
Have you ever neglected any of your duties? (Eg. Ignored a spambot because you just couldn't be bothered to ban it?)
Not really. If i actually couldn't do it, I usually send a PM to another mod online to see if he/she could do it.
Which is that one book that you will always read again and again?
I dunno, i suppose i might read the foundation series and the robot series at a later time. Both by Issac Asimov.

Who shot first, Han Solo or Greedo?
Han, shot first.

What is your name?
Shreyas
What is your quest?
To always have a story to tell.
What is your favorite color?
Green.
What's the one thing you wish members on the forums knew about being a moderator?
It's annoying at times, but rewarding at others.
What is your one hope for the UESP forums?
Everyone always stays happy and content, with not too much frustration in the air.
Boxers or briefs?
Both.
We're going on a date! (Lucky duck, you!) Where do we go and, most importantly, what are we eating?!
The pick would be in the form of a flying ship. It would take us to galaxies unknown, to quests, wonders and many various foods.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African or European?

General: Career plans - yay or nay? Big Nay.
Firstly thanks for being the best damn mod team I've ever worked with (though really, technically, only the second mod team I've ever been on). But since this needs to be a question: much evidence is being gathered that galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centres, for example the spiral galaxy M51 may contain a black hole formed from a star 1 million times more massive than our sun. Explain what is meant by the term 'event horizon' and calculate the radius of the event horizon for the supermassive black hole in M51.
Hmmm..

How did you become a mod.
I was asked by Andere to become a part of the team, and I was so humbled I accepted. There was nothing special to it. They thought that the team could use someone who was a little less warrior and more love, so they brought me on to hand out hugs and cookies to everyone. Obviously they’re regretting it now. (Just kidding!) It was a great experience and I’m always proud and grateful that they invited me on board.
Cats or dogs.
Cats! I am a loyal follower of Caturday as well.
Do you have a list of all mods, past and present... and future!
I know all past moderators, only because I keep in touch with a few. No one knows future moderators. Despite what you think, the selection process is grueling!

All: Favorite Ex Mod?
I don’t have a favorite (that would be mean). Everyone was great for their own reasons!

favourite Elder Scrolls Game, along with your most prominent Elder Scrolls memory or experience.
My favorite game…well, I like them all for different reasons, but I think Morrowind is still my fondest one. It was my first exposure to the series, and the quest just instantly hooked me; it was unlike anything I had played before, and I’ve played a lot of video games in my day, let me tell you! My most prominent Elder Scrolls memory is riding on horseback through Cyrodiil. Morrowind made me love the game, but that beautiful landscape, with the White Gold Tower shimmering in the distance – that was where I said, “Yeah, I’m a fan.”
And additionally, describe the day you joined the UESP. Why did you join? Any memories that stick out from that day?
Well actually, believe it or not, I originally joined the forums because I wanted to get information about the lore for a story I was composing…but I stuck around because I realized the place was great and the people were really nice. At the time I was playing through Oblivion. I remember everything about that day, and that time. I was a college graduate, unemployed by the economy, a little bummed out, and stuck home alone…so I figured I would find some good conversations to enjoy. Who could have known how special this place would become to me? I never regret the day.

Is Avron REALLY a Sload?
She knows much, tells some, and that’s all I’m sayin’ about it.
Do you have to perform the Black Sacrament to get the mods to contact you to become one of them?
Well, when the hotline fails, we get together and have Turkish coffee. When you are done, you turn you cup over and let the last muddy bits run down, and when they’ve dried you turn it over and read your fortune. From there, the names of members to invite to our ranks are suggested. Afterwards you must do ridiculous things, hop on one foot, and go around the world in 5 days to be included. But only if the Elder Turkeys say so.
How many chucks could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Exactly 17.8 chucks. I’ve recorded it.

Which forum members do you ship? For example, Cam/Mrs. T, Weasel/Chaos....
Avron/Tourist. Wait…

Do you love me? B3
Only on days that end with Y!

what is a good question?
The ones that elicit good answers.
Favorite movie?
I’m not quite the movie type, but I really love old black and white Godzilla movies and kung fu.
Elderscrolls game?
Morrowind
Color?
Green…but pink grew on me, I admit it!
Role model?
I don’t have a role model. I believe that we each forge our own destiny, and that eventually we deviate from the footsteps of those we look up to in order to forge our own path.

Would you name your son or daughter "Dovahkiin" if you got free TES games for the rest of your life?
Heck no! Weird names suck – take it from me.
What makes this Mod team so awesome?
We are a big and unique team. Everyone has a different style of moderating and different things they concentrate on, and in the end they all come together to make something that’s great. Everyone is also a very good sport. I mean, they put up with me, and that’s not easy!
Why did you decide to join UESP?
I was seeking nirvana.
Does Kora-Dur sound like corridor?
What dialect do you want me to answer in?
What is your favorite TES race?
The Bosmer. I just like rootin’ for the little guy – but I never play one, I admit it!
What is the meaning of life and everything?
A fraction less than 42.
^If so, then what is 56+43?
Trick question – I ain’t doin’ no math!
What common stereotypes of TES races do you hate?
That Imperials are boring. Imperials are awesome! They’re a big source of a lot of our in game lore and current events.

Who would win in a fight a bear or a shark?
Shark. Once the bear gets stuck in the water and in that thing’s jaws, it’s game over!
If the early bird catches the worm, then why do good things come to those who wait?
It’s easier to fill your plate at breakfast when you’re the first one there, but you’re bound to miss the best desserts if you fill up too soon.

Wanna buy a watch?
Only if it’s submersible up to 50 feet and doesn’t need to be wound.
Why does Mai'q not have a stick of fishies?
Because Mai’q was too busy chasing dragons in Vvardenfell and looking for the Colovian Fur Helm in Cyrodiil to get one. Poor Mai’q.
Who's on first?
He is. What’s on second.
Can I be the official Forum Sappy Music Guy?
Only if you give everyone a bouquet of flowers every time you break into song.
And is it fun to be a mod? Why?
Absolutely! As a moderator you have an extra excuse to get to know everyone, and that’s half the fun. There are so many great people here!

All: What other mod could you take in a fight, and why?
As the short girly one, I think I’m pretty outnumbered – but I think I can take them all by starting to cry and having them drop their guard. Suckers!
Where do you get off?
At the end of Zone 1, where I wait for the next bus. It’s always late.
Yes or no?
Maybe.
Will you answer this question?
I see what you did there.
What was that?
Oh, nothing. Just plucking a few wires in your head. Ignore the man behind the pliers!
Will you get the door?
What do you think my butler is for?
Where are my keys?
Oh…those were your keys? Oops.
Did you answer any of these questions honestly, and if not, which ones?
Why would I ever lie to you, snookums?
Which user is your favorite?
I don’t have a favorite. I love you all equally. But since there’s so many of you, the love had to be divided up really, really, really tiny. Sorry about that.
You must cross a fox, a bag of grain, and a chicken across a river. You can only take one of your burdens across at once. If you leave the chicken alone with the bag of grain, the chicken will eat the grain. If you leave the chicken alone with the fox, it will eat the chicken. How do you proceed?
I proceed by saying that this is entirely too complicated and just go to the nearest grocery store to get what I need.
Is the concept of time correct? Is time relevant?
It’s a manmade concept. Time varies throughout space. Once time was relevant; they had different time in New York than Boston than Chicago, for instance. In fact, time was only made uniform and constant in the U.S. after railroads started to become so popular, particularly the Pennsylvanian Railroad. Yeah. Bet you didn’t know that, did ya?
Hello? Is anyone there?
*doesn’t move so turrent doesn’t get me*
What is the greatest secret you're willing to share with us?
I sleep with a stuffed animal, and I never wear my glasses.

Name your five favorite musical groups/musical artists.
This changes frequently, but at the moment:
1) Barenaked Ladies
2) Pink Martini
3) The Guggenheim Grotto
4) The Eagles
5) David Bowie

If you could can choose an animal that you can commit a full-on genocide on, which animal would it be?
Mosquitos. God damn mosquitos, man!

Am I funny?
Yes, but don’t worry – looks aren’t everything, sweetheart.
What is better? Home cooked dinner or restaurant?
Home cooked, always. It’s more special and intimate, and preparing it with a loved one is half the fun.
What do you do for fun?
I’m not allowed to have fun. It’s in the contract I signed. …okay, just kidding. I like to be outdoors, but in the winter I spend a lot of time reading and drawing because it’s dark so early and much too cold!
It's UESP's birthday and you only have a roll of silver tape, a can of spray cream and some forks, how do you construct the epic birthday cake?
Silver tape for the base, spray…cream all over it (what is spray cream, you sicko?), and forks for candles. Ta-da!
Should Dark Lord kill Mucro?
Well, he’s got to kill somebody…

Do you spam in the Mod forum?
Yes… All. The. Time. In fact, if you could look at it, you would see that my name is in 87% of the far right side. (I’m sorry, everyone, but I love you!)
Have you ever neglected any of your duties? (Eg. Ignored a spambot because you just couldn't be bothered to ban it?)
No. Sometimes, if there is something that isn’t very important (like a non-essential report to review) and I can’t have an opinion, I may leave it for another moderator, but only if I feel I have done too much. We all share the burden, and we all do different things, so no one really “neglects” anything.
Which is that one book that you will always read again and again?
It’s a tie between The Picture of Dorian Gray and Cat’s Cradle.

Who shot first, Han Solo or Greedo?
Han Solo, without a doubt..

What is your name?
Arthur, King of the Britains!
What is your quest?
To seek the Holy Grail!
What is your favorite color?
Blue.
What's the one thing you wish members on the forums knew about being a moderator?
That it isn’t easy, and it’s more than just spamming the forums with thousands of posts. You have to be able to not only come up with new ideas but also see them through to the finish, which is where most people fail. It’s the one position where you have to be a bad guy and a good guy all in one. No one is ever completely satisfied with you despite not knowing how hard you work to help promote the community. In the end, all we want is for the most people possible to have a great time, and that isn’t always easily attainable. It’s easy to judge, but not so easy to do it yourself.
What is your one hope for the UESP forums?
That those who come here have a great time and make a few friends.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African or European?

Linguistics - yay or nay?
Nay. Ya’ll know I hate linguistics, man.
