Postscript
The Moderators are rightfully cracking down hard on we who have more nicknames than the Rules f Conduct," say. I feel it is only fair not to have to learn this by word of mouth. Then, later on, by a Private Message from a Moderator. I even begged. You see, once again, at VOG, one could make any amount of nicknames they wanted. It was all cool. :(* Um, Many, many times over the years I got carried away when I was manic from lack of sleep, and, unfortunately, had no way to delete them! Disliked most of them anyway!! Asked a MOD if they could, methinks...but they could not either!! I have been told by many people that they have like, Cricky, over 100. That is sheer abuse!! Will be happy and feel safer when those kinds of people get some taken away. I also am aware that the older FlYOrDie players are given a little more room. Dealt with kid gloves. For me, this is wonderful and, really how it seems it should be. The Pink stars FOD gives, and so much more they do for us all is truly fantastic! Back to me, "my favourite subject!" Lol, "Nah." I have begged a certain MOderator to delete the nicknames I choose, to be righteous and fair, as well as kindly gentle. Because the important ones mean something very dear to me. Hm, Sighing. I doubt they will...yet, "Hope springs eternal." Perhaps they cannot, yet, they are top-shelf here, so, not being a usual betting Lady, I'd hope that they may extend one more underserved cup of kindness with this issue. Because I always feel compelled to chat, to be kind, to be a gracious Hostess in my games as does, learner, for example! I have known nickname's, however, to play serious games, sayin' nothing, or being brief and polite. I will not play certain friends,( of at all ), that I know would feel awful if I did play what that* kind of nickname! But, I am honest about it, let all know who ask or do not ask, that I Hate being a guest! Plus, one does not rack up the wonderful FlyOrDie dots on our die. whatever...I do not online catfish, snoop, spy-without FOD's best interest in mind. Nor do I act like a big shot, stalker, meanie, (The vast majority of the time ). @ least I apologize right away, Peggy says, "That's what we love about you!" From her, that is a huge compliment. Last but not least...I have a young friend that is just like my little brother, or nephew since about 1999-2000! He was the best power of example as well as an example of the Power of our beloved game. When He was at VOG as a natural born genius player, when another good one;s would dislike and even be mean if anyone chatted in games...he always has time to talk with everyone. We call each other, affectionally, Val~* = Valentine. He is known as Froompykat aka Ben Seeley. I hope with all my heart he will not mind me disclosing these particular things. He is one of the most humble men I have ever had the pleasure to know. We in Othello who seriously love the game and Her people, all know him. I have not checked this with Ben. Which, for something public like this, I usually do. Just like many good serious players~*! One who I feel needs another big SHOUT-OUT is Michael Handle aka here, MidnigHt. He is dead now. His "Othello Poem," can be found here. For, I posted it for him. Also, at Facebook, as I do yearly, to be passed on especially to or newcomers. The Othello Federation of America and other countries is going a bang-up job at passing this game onto young people and others. As well, as The Anjar Brother's who coined the phrase, "Othello." They often show up at The WOC's. aka World Othello Championships which happen annually. The Brother's have been most generous to allow us all to even call Reversi Othello. Ah-ha! One last to me vital point...since The Owner, Mods and OPERATOR are all cleaning up the so-called act, cleaning up the bull crap here, I feel that the number of nicknames, save for the insane amounts some use...there are far, far more important issues that need addressing first! For what Lil' me knows they are. I have noticed more people being Demreited, seemingly faster than usual. Yay MODS. :-p. Unfortunately not being a PC Tech.* For all I know and have heard, there are genuine Hackers that can bypass any system anyway!:( *. Lol. I once heard this from an Othello player, maybe it was Eddie Williams, or Matthias Berg<-a gr8 friend of mine I have met a couple of times. In any case, it was this, "All Othello Players are brilliant, have a great sense of humour and all of them are emotionally immature! Lol. Lol. Uhmm-hmm-umm-hmmm! Lol. I know I am, so they say. Oy vey! Lol. The more I know the less I know. :)* Btw, we methinks get 3 chances to get banned, beginning with1-3 Demerits. This may or may not be permanent. Only know that when going to some nicknames, It says, You are banned permanently. Which is a relief! If, only I/we could have a say in what goes and what stays! Bloody Heck! When creating them I usually lost the passwords and/or nicknames or both! Lol! Yikes!
So, here I sit at nearly 4 am because I love Y'all here so very much. And, with age, cometh self love too! <3 . Lol, have a HOT now lukewarm bath waiting for me. My dog, my peace of mind and the much needed sleep! Thanks FlyOrDie for all you do. OMG! Nearly forgot, FOD rewards good family members here with sweet little pink Stars. Hm, Lol, it was like a miracle, I even got one last week, it isn't visible cos I subscribe. Never thought it would happen. By and by, long ago I applied for the Moderator position. Never got a definitive answer, Yay, cos' I'd never be able to Report a Friend of Distinction. Lol. Whew! That was a close call haha, Lol, prolly would not have gotten it anyway! I am flirtatious online Only, unless with Friends in real life! And, guys and dolls I am Not a C_ _ K Teaser. All know and are informed that is merely my sense of humour. Hye Filks, Lol, I'm a native New Yorker born and raised in Manhattan. PPPppppPPP. You know! Um, my name is Judy. I was the first Contessa at ICQ. Love the name Tessa, Tess.My first A.K.C. Gr8 Pyrenees dog who I breed I named, BalibasqueContessa. I love France where they are mainly from. Been there, will never forget a nano-second of it! : )*. I am also, Lady-In-Red. Contessa has been here since 2008. MidnigHt made me come! Lol. Hm...no pun intended! My best nickname that I loved was already taken from me, it was, Judy ❤️ . Have one more thus far, I adore, cos Happymeal❤️Lover came in originally to us with that heart! My friends-MOds all know what that is. It isn't anonymous though, so sad about that! Crickey, what the hay, let someone else copy it, it hurts no matter what I write, it is ❤️ .Tessã.
This leads me to the kindness of MODS, Me thinks that nickname was taken away, and later, given back. Not my business, just observant is all. Please, Moderators, realize that as soon as all of FlyOrDie players saw the Coffee cups, the hearts...many of us rushed to make one too!!! By then, I made more than I could or wanted to handle. Whew! One Mo' Thing, a SHOUT-OUT to Thor von Midgard for that private chat we had ever so long ago. I divulged extremely private information to him. Because he believes in a GOD, I was able to reach his ❤️. He gave e hope and renewed my own faith in my God. A God of my understanding. Thanks again!
