I didn't ask for or particularly want it. The admin requests queue was a little long because bish was on vacation and it's not really gromph's job and one of my fellow moderators told EviLore we needed another admin and requested it be me and I guess he agreed or thought I wouldn't suck or whatever. It's been helpful for improve the mod side of ModBot, and I'm glad that I can help people who have gotten locked out of their accounts, and obviously I've given out some positive tags, but mostly I don't really have any inclination towards the additional functionality and if another mod really wanted to be an admin in my place I'd swap with them no problem.
In moderation conversations I always tell other moderators that even if it's their first day moderating their voice counts the same as mine. I believe in collaboration, I'm not really a hierarchical authority kind of guy at all... and honestly even in terms of moderation I wouldn't be on GAF if I didn't like participating as a poster.

Always wondered how admins become. And never knew only admins can give tags. So all those hundreds of tags were given by 3 people; Evilore, bishop and you? Some mods surely wanted to tag stupid/funny posters but couldn't, heh.

Damn, those loot breakdowns are interesting. I felt a bit guilty that I'd won 9 games over the last year and only given 5 back.

I'll have to start giving and receiving more I think to join the big boys :p

While we're on it I wish devs would stop using bugs/insects in their games. They make for terrible enemies and when you make them enormous it freaks me out :(

The sound effects? Ew.

Mods submit tag requests to admins when they want to, but can't actually give the tags themselves. I almost never did when I was a moderator.

The, uh... one you get if you
take the basketball from the garage
by
looking up as soon as you enter, and throwing the milk carton from the recycling bin at it
and
bring it up to Sam's room, close the door, and put it where it belongs

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Had some extras, enjoy!

The new sub hasn't been put up on the store yet despite being several hours old, but there's no way to be absolutely sure whether it's a post-release sub or one intended for RU pre-orders, so if you can afford to buy the game now then you might as well do so.

Edit: Oh, wait, yes it has... but the region-lock was removed.

It is actually active on the RU store page now

javascript:addToCart( 47807);
http://steamdb.info/sub/47807/

For some reason they actually removed the trading restriction though

EDIT: I see you noticed now

I don't know what the chances are on this being retroactively restricted but I wouldn't risk it.

So I was skimming this thread earlier at work and thought some important topics were being brought up. So what did I miss? Can anyone catch me up? What were people talking about with The Witcher 3 becoming region locked?

What the fuck is wrong with Green Man Gaming? It will not accept my PayPal or any credit card. I just keep getting "Oops, we cannot compute! We are unable to process your order using this card. Please try another card or one of the alternate payment options."

Congrats to the winners of nbnt's giveaway! I'm off to pick four leaf clovers with the leprechaun I kidnapped so I might one day win one of these. Thanks as always to nbnt for the great giveaways and John Locke gifs!
