The New Lineup

Sorry it's taken me so long to get this out here but we've got a few new names in the moderating/deputy mix and wanted to give them a shout. First of all Boddah has returned to raining terror down on SE++ with his nonchalant ribbing and lock-a-licious tentacle arm. Raijin has been recruited from the deputies to play with the big boys over in G+T, he's got good arm and can go the distance. We would've signed him for the twice the price, just don't tell him that.

This leaves a few slots open on the deputy side of things. Those have been filled by MA17 and Orthanc. Two good fellows that are pretty dissimilar to keep things unstable, just the way we like it.

On a related note you might have noticed the absence of Herr Duck. Well he's taking a bit of a hiatus, we think he will be back in a month or so. He's locked himself away in monastic isolation and I believe he is going to puzzle out our noob problem through deep meditation in the Rising Stick position. I could be making that last part up.

    I really think we should have waited to see what popped up on the free agent market.

    What Deni clearly fails to realise, it is the meek that are the problem.

    Basiclly blessed is everyone with a vested interest in the status quo.

    I see ratings improvements on both ends of the age spectrum as well as exciting a jaded audience that desired a shakeup of some sort, but couldn't put their finger on exactly what it was. These disaffected viewers are our bread and butter. They are questing for instant gratification and a novel idea. I feel that our new lineup is going to deliver that in spades. I finally feel that we can take on Friday Night Television and actually come out ahead. I know "World's Funniest/Scariest/Most Exciting [insert sensational moment here]" will be hard to beat but I wouldn't be in it if I didn't believe we had a chance.

    Thank you for your concern.

    I'm tempted to ban bone daddy. He's overstepped his bounds once too often.

    So, y'know, Orthanc isn't in the line-up in the Deputies sticky. So if he were to jail me, could I claim some sort of unfair jailing due to him not being properly deputised? Or a prize?
