    Yeah, we need Skinner's sarcastic remarks. =O
    You = smart.

    Actually, I think Borman would serve well as the role of Cyber's....lackey. He'd be the one sticking up for Cyber, by his side and agreeing with his every decision. His right hand man/suck up artist. There has to be at least one person backing Cyber up in this.

    I'd if we had it so Cyber demoted Sprung to a regular moderator. Not actually do it, since the access title could simply be changed, and the Forum Leaders page can be edited.

    That would be pretty convincing if we can pull it off.

    Indeed.

    We just have to make sure not to overdo it. Everything should start with.. eh, some trivial disagreement causing some public bickering, then we could go from there.

    I don't know you, you're not my friend.

    I'm full of good ideas..

    You disagree with Cyber on his tyrant ways, you both argue, things get heated, and in an extremely shocking turn, he demotes you to moderator. That kind of move would also trigger me to get involved also, pushing things even more. :heyhey:

    This weekend I'll be away, but I'm going to definitely set aside time to get this done.

    Exactly. Something small.

    Soon, hopefully. But we need to know that Cyber would be totally up for this. I'm sure he'd be cool with it, but we should still hear from him about it.

    Man, I'm having lotsa stupid ideas about threads to make after I'm demoted (if that happens).

    The smallminded fascist guild!

    Members: Cyber and anyone that agrees with him luuuul!

    Ahem, what I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't just have people banned right away (if we're going with bans..). Let them (as in us) act up at first, and uh.. I'm too tired to make a coherent post.

    I hope MasJ won't mind that we're fucking with the forum.

    I don't know you, you're not my friend.

    I'm full of good ideas..

    The beginning of the hostilities could be Cyber promoting to moderator someone he only knows, a friend of him from real life that could be any of us with a second account he'd defend his action saying he trusts this person as if it were him and we'd have another unexpected role to play.

    I was sorta setting the seeds for this tonight in that thread asking whether or not that dude should share his cash. Remember that fucktard who types in all caps, or tried to at least? Well, my response wasn't exactly nice, so it could certainly be used as fodder for a future argument if you guys are really down with this idea.

    Oh, and we definitely need at least a couple of members in, so that I can threaten to ban them for no good reason. I mean, they'll seemingly start shit, and then I come in and totally overdo things. Instead of trying to talk shit out, I jump right in with the threats and shit. Or, well, maybe we don't need to bring them in on this. Anyone. It'll probably be more convincing if I just be a jerk without any warning whatsoever. And more fun.

    Or something. You guys are doing a great job at cooking this up. I'm your willing slave, so to speak. This could be a lot of fun.

    Oh, and while it should go without saying, I'm totally going to give up the Admin/S-Mod/whatever position after all this has gone down. No worries there.

    You can add to the arguments within the staff. Opposing either Cyber, or defending him. You'll probably get banned and/or promoted, and all that

    I'd like to get banned in this whole mess. It seems like less work
