| | | Fable Q&A
Heeeeeey Fable, I've got some questions for you!
1) Do you go to work in an office? Do you work out of your house?
2) I think it's pretty safe to say that everyone wants to see a real life sneak peek of you! Go on, link a photo, your Facebook profile, or anything! I'm curious!
3) Where did you go to school?
4) Moderating is a full time job? How else does Fable fill up the day?
5) Does Fable watch TV? What shows?
6) Is Fable a dirty hippy? A fundie Neo-con? A progressive moderate? Some sort of primitive tribalist?
7) What's the real Fable story? Child of Colombian insurgents, raised by German cheesemakers? Born to a family of Swedish volleyball players but ran away to Mongolia for a life of internet moderation?
Inquiring minds want to know!
And no, http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/sp...tml#post193670
does not count!

| | Sorry, but the sticky threads are all you get.
Now, tell us about you. A first timer who immediately posts a joke in BG2. Then sees the thread was found funny and moved to SYM, and decided to make a personal thread there, instead. We need to definitely know more about you.

You've always been a mystery to me. Sometimes a bit of a stick in the mud, but usually pretty neat-o bandito. Sometimes pretty funny, but also quick to lock threads. You're a big bag of confusing contradictions. I decided after writing that April Fool's thing, I needed to finally stick it out there and interrogate you. However, not answering my fun and exciting questions was not part of my elaborate plan to throw you a fiesta.
But really though, if anything, the office or home question was serious, I've always wondered how moderators worked.

| Each mod does that their own way, I suspect. And if we seem a little tight-assed at times, it's a matter of enforcing the rules set down by Buck. Sometimes these are mistaken for our opinions, but those aren't the same, at all. For instance, I used to enforce Buck's "no profanities" rule. When he removed it, I didn't just stop enforcing it, I also put back in the ****s, ****s and such that I regularly use in my foul-mouthed life.

Okay, I'll give you a hint. I'm really László Lajtha, a Hungarian composer and ethnologist who died in the 1960s.

| | Careful Fable...
I'd suggest that you begin keeping a careful eye on any odd glints coming from a distance that seem directed at your windows... 
And also, watch your back for lurking Bloodstalkers, BS will be jealous that now you too have groupies

Actually, that thought turns me green. Let me rephrase.
What? You think that BS will launch a preemptive strike? I must batten down the mizzen haslings, and preorcinate the dwarven throwers!

| | There was a die hard fable fan in one of these other threads as well, so you're gathering up quite the fan base here.

I just chose the moniker because I've been known to manufacture fables on the spot as a means of teaching.
Yes, the truth is out. I'm not really László Lajtha. I'm actually Aesop. Only less Greek, and with a better beard.
