Lets see... Live in the midwest USA, interests are in computers, martial arts, fixing stuff that's broken, chatting online, staying up late, dogs...

I've been known to wreak havok at an occasional lan party. If you like Counter Strike Source, I can be found hanging on the servers there.  Add Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 to that list.

I'd love to travel the world if only it were closer and cheaper and I wasn't such a damn picky eater.

<Update>

Now that I have been to the other side of the world, I've learned that A) being a picky eater is a damn good weight loss program, and B) I'm even more upset that the world isn't closer and cheaper so I could do it again on a regular basis.

I don't buddy with anyone under 18. It's not personal.

Sheriff Stuff: (Aka stuff I get asked a lot)

Sorry folks, Sheriffs don't get free gifts to hand out. If we did, I'd hand them out, but we have to buy them with zollars just like everyone else which means spending real money. I'm sure all of you who message me for a gift out of nowhere are nice people but I save my hard earned cash for people I know.

It's fine if you want to ask me a technical question, but if you can, please post it in Support and Feedback. This way others who may be having the same problem can also benefit from the discussion and resolution. If you've had a problem sitting there unanswered for a few days, feel free to alert me to it. It could be I've been wrapped up and haven't looked.. It could also be that I don't have an answer.

And now for the uglier side of Sheriff stuff:

Messaging a Sheriff because someone did something to you will not result in an action. The only way we can act on something is if it comes in via the report system. That's what that is for. It's not that we don't want to help you, it's that we can't. We don't have access to any of the functions for warn/block unless it comes in via the report system. If there have been reports already and you want to give us a bit more detail via message, that's fine, just make sure you also reported it as well so something can be done. We want to help you, but we're limited in how we're allowed to do it.

Messaging me (or any other Sheriff) as to why you (or your friend) got blocked won't get you an answer. Unless we specifically voted on it, we have no way of going back and seeing what was reported and how it was voted on. Chances are, you sending us a message about it is the first time we've heard about it. Even if we did vote on it, we may not remember the specifics on a high volume report day unless it just happened. Please do not start threads in Support and Feedback or other forums about it. It's not helpful. It's been done many times and it always turns out badly. Inevitably someone will get warned, and the thread will be locked.

Do not have your friends message Sheriffs or Admins about why you were blocked. All you are doing is inserting them into a messy situation that they have no part in. Don't do that to them, it's not fair to anyone.

One final note to those who consistently want to tell people what their job is, or isn't.  Sheriff's don't check their opinions at the door.  We're entitled to express them just the same as any other site member.  Just like any member, opinions are free to be listened to or ignored, but you don't get to dictate if I express mine or not.
