I really am!

Wow, that took a long time.

POMC:
How did you become a mod - Got out of the shower one day to find a couple of emails waiting for me. One was a Facebook notification, the other was a PM asking if I wanted to join the moderator team. The rest is history. And I also responded to the moderator invitation.
Cats or dogs - Dogs. Someday I'll tell you all about my dog Lincoln.
Do you have a list of all mods, past and present... and future! - I used to have a list of all the past ones somewhere and I'm sure you can work out the present list. As for the future, I don't see your name on it.

Shadow:
Favorite Ex Mod? - I can't answer that. Erm, H8Ball, for the sake of argument.

Duruza:
Favourite Elder Scrolls Game - Oblivion ... for now.
Most prominent Elder Scrolls memory or experience - The first time I entered Dagon's realm. I hated it at first, I was terrified of every noise and corner and just wanted out. I finished those levels as quickly as possible, and didn't level up for the duration of the Main Quest so the monsters didn't get stronger as well. I refused to finish Kvatch without someone else in the room. I still have this lingering anxiety whenever I go through an Oblivion Gate.
And additionally, describe the day you joined the UESP. Why did you join? Any memories that stick out from that day? I joined because back in 2009 I had a strange urge to sign up to some more forums and tried to find an Elder Scrolls one where I would fit in. I decided to check whether or not the UESP Wiki had a forum and, well, it did. So here I am. Lasting memory? I remember being really happy when the first person (King Acunasti) welcomed me here.

Sloady:
Is Avron REALLY a Sload? - She's really very beautiful. Even for a Sload.
Do you have to perform the Black Sacrament to get the mods to contact you to become one of them? - I don't remember doing that, but I was quite drunk the day before I got the invitation so who knows.
How many chucks could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? - Oh be quiet.

Rose:
Which forum members do you ship? For example, Cam/Mrs. T, Weasel/Chaos.... Kalle/Lyra/Fluttershy

Spiney:
Do you love me? B3 - <3

ZeRoc
What is a good question? - A friend of mine who went to University for a medical interview said they asked him 'what is an idea?' and another guy got asked 'do you think you're clever?'. Either of those float your boat?
Favorite movie? - 2001: A Space Oddyssey
Elderscrolls game? - Oblivion
Color? - Purple
Role model? - Norman Foster, the architect

AtoM
Would you name your son or daughter "Dovahkiin" if you got free TES games for the rest of your life? - I think I'd find the games more fun if I had to wait until Christmas for them or buy them myself. I may do it anyway just for fun.
What makes this Mod team so awesome? - We have a real mix of characters. Passive-aggressive Avron, aggressive-aggressive Cam, insane Nanza, level-headed Scoz, the lovely General, rock-steady Matt and of course, myself, the temperamental one. We have someone for every situation, and I think that's why we work.
Why did you decide to join UESP? - See above. I thought this question would come up a lot.
Does Kora-Dur sound like corridor? - Sort of. Is it intentional? I never did any real dungeon diving in Morrowind.
What is your favorite TES race? - Breton. I'm a big fan of making characters that look like me, and that's most easily done with a Breton.
What is the meaning of life and everything? - My serious answer here would be to live. Don't worry about there being some pre-defined purpose. I reckon our purpose is to find our own purpose, if you see what I mean.
^If so, then what is 56+43? - 99
What common stereotypes of TES races do you hate? - Pale skin, snotty expression. You must be a Breton.

Knight Captain Kerr:
Who would win in a fight a bear or a shark? - Bears don't swim too well, do they?
If the early bird catches the worm, then why do good things come to those who wait? - It takes the fat, juicy worms longer to get to the surface, by which point the early birds have been and gone.

JV:
Wanna buy a watch? - Got one, thanks.
And is it fun to be a mod? Why? - Kind of. It's difficult having to be stern because I only do calm and patient or overboard blowing-my-top angry, but I manage. But I enjoy leading things, it's something I also try and do a lot in real life. It's much the same in a virtual context - if you win people's respect by means other than being in charge then it's easier to lead and set an example because people care what you have to say. I like to think I've done that over the last year.
Are non-mods allowed to answer [Cam's] question? - Only the mods will survive giving an answer. Best not to.
Why does Mai'q not have a stick of fishies? - I don't know. It seems a bit weird, given that he's kind of the series' mascot.
Who's on first? - I don't give a darn.
Can I be the official Forum Sappy Music Guy? - Depends on what sappy means.

AKB:
What other mod could you take in a fight, and why? - Nanza, he'd probably be sick with some disease so he'd be a pushover.
Where do you get off? - After the boss fight at Citadel 17
Yes or no? - Maybe. I don't know. Could you repeat the question?
Will you answer this question? -
What was that? - What was what?
Will you get the door? - Was that what that was?
Where are my keys? - I dunno, but you need them because the door's locked.
Did you answer any of these questions honestly, and if not, which ones? - The one about not answering the question, or answering it, which I did not not did do.
Which user is your favorite? - Velothi, because he's the only one who knows what he's talking about.
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? -
Is the concept of time correct? Is time relevant? - 'Time is what keeps everything from happening at once.' It's a fundamental property. You can't define it using things in our world because they are defined using time itself. You end up in a logic loop. So it's one of the most 'correct' things I know of.
Hello? Is anyone there? - That's the door again, stop distracting me with these questions.
What is the greatest secret you're willing to share with us? - My shoe size is UK 12.

Levyuce:
Name your five favorite musical groups/musical artists. - Oh gawd. Two Steps From Hell, Gary Numan (and Tubeway Army), Parov Stelar, Depeche Mode, Fatboy Slim.

Kestral:
If you could can choose an animal that you can commit a full-on genocide on, which animal would it be? - The wasp. And I don't want to hear any arguments about how they're 'necessary'. They can just die. All of them.

Cam:
Am I funny? - Kind of.
What is better? Home cooked dinner or restaurant? - Restaurant. I know that some stranger has slaved away to make it, rather than me or someone else at the table, so we're all enjoying it more.
What do you do for fun? - Sports-wise, swimming, archery and smallbore rifle shooting are the main ones that I compete in. Outside of that I occasionally go hiking, orienteering and spend entirely too much time behind the controls of video editing programs.

Mars:
Do you spam in the Mod forum? - No, in fact I probably don't post in there enough. Usually it's to offer my opinion on something, but since Skyrim came out a lot of talk has been about a subforum I won't go into.
Have you ever neglected any of your duties? (Eg. Ignored a spambot because you just couldn't be bothered to ban it?) - Yeah, all the time.
Which is that one book that you will always read again and again? - World War Z, by Max Brooks. The classics come and go, but that piece of pop culture shall forever be mine.
Do you poop rainbows? - No.
Do you vomit rainbows? - Occasionally.
Are you in any other disgusting way affiliated with rainbows? - My left humerus is coloured like a rainbow.
What is your general stance on rainbows? - Used to think they were gay, now I love them more than is healthy.

Mithrandir:
Who shot first, Han Solo or Greedo? - I find this an interesting question, because at the end of that day it doesn't really matter. Considering that if Lucas had his way, Han Solo would have been Greedo, there are bigger fish to fry than whether he shot his own easter egg or not.

Avron:
What is your name? - Tom. Nice to meet you.
What is your quest? - Current active quests are 'A Rat Problem' on Oblivion and 'Telvanni Agents' on Morrwind.
What is your favorite color? - Purple. Did I answer this already?
What's the one thing you wish members on the forums knew about being a moderator? - That decisions don't happen overnight. We have to wait for a set of opinions on the matter and we're just as busy as you. Also that we can't bend over backwards to fulfil every wish. We've kept so many people happy with what we have that changing it will make some very unhappy.
What is your one hope for the UESP forums? - Don't go changin'
Boxers or briefs? - Boxers
We're going on a date! (Lucky duck, you!) Where do we go and, most importantly, what are we eating?! - We're going ice skating, and then we're having Mexican.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? African or European?

Favourite ES game? Skyrim. Maybe it would be Morrowind if it weren't for my wasted youth.
Prominent ES memory? Well, emerging from IC's sewers for the first time. Gosh.
First day: Rediscovering Oblivion after a year and wanting to play it properly.

Sloady McSload-Sload:
Is Avron a sload? Maybe.
Sacrament? I had to eat a garbage bag full of pinecones.
Woodchuck? None. You asked if it could chuck wood, not chucks.

Rose of Sithis:
Memer I ship? Cam/Mrs T. Great fun.

Spiney:
Do I love you? Yes, yes i do. Schmooky wookums!

ZeRoc:

What makes this Mod team so awesome? The way we combine our powers to become a Mod-mecha in a minute-long transformation sequence.

Does Kora-Dur sound like corridor? It totally does.
What is your favorite TES race? Argonians, duh.
What is the meaning of life and everything? Pi.
^If so, then what is 56+43? 99
What common stereotypes of TES races do you hate? Drunken stupid Nords.

JVEleven:
Wanna buy a watch? Mine is still functional, so no.
Fun to be a mod? Yeah. BECAUSE WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS DARK, WRETCHED WORLD!

AKB:
What other mod could you take in a fight? Matt. I'm used to handling angry dogs.
Nonsense: You're silly.
Which user is your favorite? I.. Don't.. Know! You're all so enjoyable!
Logic question: kill the fox first.
Is the concept of time correct? Idunno.
Hello? Is anyone there? I'm in your attic.
What is the greatest secret you're willing to share with us? I once gave birth to a robot... You know, by taking it out of the box and assembling it according to the manual.

Leyyuce:
Name your five favorite musical groups/musical artists. Too hard! Pass.

Kestral:
Animal genocide? Plankton. For the heck of it.

Homecooked beats restaurant everyday.
I make noices.

Mars:
Spam in mod forum? Yes. Lots and lots of it.
Neglected duties? Only if I'm logging in from school during a lesson.
Books? The Farseer trilogy.

Mithrandir:
Shot first? Sure, why not.

Avron the N'wah:
My name is Argonanza.
My quest is to become the best there ever was.
My favourite colour is blue.
I wish they'd realize we're members like they are, damnit! Now drop and give me fifty!
I hope these forums will go to infinity and BEYOND!

I'd take you home and serve you homemade pancakes that'd knock your tongue off its hinges and into a neighbouring universe.
The velocity of an unladen swallow is 10m/s.

The Tom:
Norway/Finland? Yay.

I’ll have you all know this is 5 pages in Word…without the double spacing. Whew - lots of fun, though!

Capitan Kerr
Who would win in a fight a bear or a shark? If the bear were on land, the shark would suffocate. If the shark were in the ocean, the bear would drown. Therefore, I propose we arm the shark with a heat seeking missile and give the bear a harpoon. When they fight, the harpoon will hit the shark in the eye causing the missile to trigger and go after the bear then they would... In the end, they all die because Global Warming.
If the early bird catches the worm, then why do good things come to those who wait? Because the patient ones wait for the early bird to be distracted before they strike. Easy meal.


JVEleven
Wanna buy a watch? Wanna give it to me for free?
And is it fun to be a mod? Why? Fun? Where?!!?


Zeroc Again:
Create an effigy of the intended victim yourself, assembled from actual body parts forum inside jokes, including a heart fried rat, skull Zombie's vodka, bones fish-sticks and flesh ponies. Encircle that effigy with candles "ice cream".

The ritual itself must then commence. Proceed to stab the effigy repeatedly with a dagger Weasel rubbed with the petals of a Nightshade plant Chaos, while whispering this plea:
Sweet Mother Avron, sweet Mother Nanza, send your child Dark Lord unto me, for the sins of the unworthy spambots must be baptized in blood Pink and fear Green."
I did all of that and got a T-shirt for the trouble. Damned admins...

And now for the basic questions.

Elderscrolls game? Skyrim

Role model? The Tenth Doctor

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 first eat the chicken, then I cross with the fox and return for the grain. The chicken will return shortly.
