I don't see why everyone's congratulating Zen. Forum moderation is *work*, and hardly ever receives the appreciation it should be given. If anything, we should be giving Zen our condolences for committing himself to such a masochistic endeavor. OTOH, as Zen recently told me, he gets off on *power*, so I suppose there's a wee bit of ego-stroking involved. As if Zen needs any more massaging than he gets for all the superb docs he has made (and continues to work on). We should all be careful of feeding Zen's ambitions lest his head grow so large that he'll need Johan's avatar ...

Man, get off on power? I'm going to have to moderate Arryn I think of it more of a government position. It's easier to help the system when you are in it than outside protesting.

Of course I could be saying that because I'm mad with power, POWER I TELL YOU!

I suppose condolences are in order for Zen ^_^ So, you have my condolences

Here is some foor for thought...

Excerpt from SCQR, Version Alternate:

Spell: Call Eater of Power
"Calls a creature with a particular hunger for power"

Eater of Power (stage 1)
"The creature, at first glance, appears inconspicuous and un-noticed"

Eater of Power (stage 2)
"After numerous tasks and feats, it has consumed enough energy to transform into an awe-inspiring unit, with greatly enhanced leadership."

Eater of Power (stage 3)
"Finally, it has consumed enough power to transform itself into a pretender god."

Unfettered (Lose Control)
"The universe as we know it is doomed when the creature reached its final stage of metamorphosis. It's simply a satisfyin meal, albeit a lengthy one, for the Eater of Power"
