View Full Version : Orgah Appreciation Station
Been tossing this idea around for awhile now, might as well finally get around to it. :grin:
The short version of this is, I'd like to start a thread where we long and short-timers can post about some of the Orgah's who've had some significant positive impacts on us individually throughout our .Org 'careers', directly and indirectly. This isn't to be about rear smooching or name dropping, or "hay to my buddy x", this is meant to be a sort of a "Thanks, x, because of/for y" in the spirit of sincerity and gratitude. Also it's not meant to include or more importantly exclude anyone, this is all just personal opinion, I'm sure there are going to be some people on this list who weren't expecting it, and I hope it's a pleasant surprise for some.
Without further ado, I'll get us started. In absolutely no particular order:
- Puzz3D: For being a polite, perhaps a bit short worded, individual to respond positively to some of my inquiries very early after I joined up at the Org. For generally sharing information and educating me on certain things that I was curious about patiently, and validating certain thoughts and concerns that I had about the TW games in general.
- ElmarkOfFear: For further making me feel very welcome and that my thoughts/posts were accepted and appreciated also very early on after I joined, and was having some... er.. 'difficulties' with some of the more hardnosed less accepting types.
- Doug-Thompson: For converting me firmly to the Church of the Horse Archer. For making me feel like some contributions I attempted to make were appreciated and recognized.
- Odin: For demonstrating that there are individuals in the backroom capable of engaging others in intelligent, mutually respectful argument (discussion?), and that one can walk away from those feeling both intellectually satisfied and that a real meeting of the minds has occured with honor and respect.
- Omanes Alexandrapolites: The sleeper. Omanes is one of those guys whose posts always make me smile (really) and remind me that I should continually try harder to be more pleasant and polite to my fellow Orgahs. I've never seen a post by him that's been snotty or rude, everything is polite, and his posts bespeak of someone who has a genuine desire to help others and make others feel welcome. Seems to have set the record for getting Senior Membership, and in my views is one of the folks who honors the title by carrying it.
- Sinan: Also embodies the very spirit of what it means to be a Senior Member in my view. Very warmly welcomed me (and others) when I (we) joined. Engaged and sought my opinion and input to various topics and threads in the Citadel in it's early days and throughout. Never once posted anything to anyone that was rude or condescending. Actively worked in the community to contribute to it in terms of knowledge and embetterment. He is a very credit to this community and it has been totally my pleasure to know the guy, this place is a better place because of people like him.
- Gregoshi: For some of the worstbest puns I've ever seen, and continually reminding me that having a good sense of humor will make you live longer and happier.
To everyone on my list, hat's off, and a sincere Thank You from me. :bow:
There are others who escape me at this point, I'll come back and edit this later when I can remember.

Gregoshi, Beirut, and Lemur (among others), for being solid rocks of good sense who always have a pun or joke ready. Or an axe.
- Tosa Inu: For always being so kind, and friendly, and just for doing his best to make my every day brighter! Spread the cheer man!
For Tosa!!

I don't really know who to select for my appreciation. All Orgahs deserve appreciation for their effort or actions over the times which they have resided here. Their posting is what makes the .Org the warm and cuddly place which it is.

Thanks GH for introducing Mafia to this great place. You are a very polite individual (For the most part :tongue2:) as well.
Also a definite agreement on Gregoshi, his posts always make me laugh, or groan.
Also, how could I forget you yourself Whacker. You constantly keep me entertained in the Chatroom. Pity I don't have the time for that anymore.
Warmaster Horus
07-17-2007, 08:37
GH, of course, for mafia, CA, for his AAR, Omanes, for knowing if I need help he'll be there, Greg, for his good/bad puns.
And, in general, the Org's members, for giving me a place to rest/enjoy myself.

Very true. :yes:
It's almost impossible to even start a list like this, as one can think of so many people to acknowledge and it soon becomes endless. Therefore, aside from a deep bow of gratitude to everyone in the Backroom who make it such a vibrantly interesting place, I should restrain myself and note one person: KukriKhan.
All my colleagues on the staff have been kind and generous, but those words define the grace, warmth and nobility of Kukri. His wisdom and support are deeply appreciated.

Thanks Whacker,
Honestly the last few weeks I have become mostly apathetic toward the backroom. I spend time at other sites as well and had made a concious effort to reduce my time here. Tear jerker comments like this might sway me otherwise :)
I'm glad you feel this way, the feeling is mutual friend.
:medievalcheers:
There are two members whom I hold in high regard:
KafirChobee & Gawain of Orkney : While I have had a shouting match or two with them, I have come to respect there point of view a great deal. Being convicted and consistant is admirable, doing so with life expirence to verify the position taken lends a great deal of credability. Age aside, wisdom is often obtained through living, but being able to convey the wisdom through example of life lessons, tempered with a current circumstance is definately worthy of respect.
Both of these posters have my respect, even though when I disagree i might not be as respectful as I am professing to be here, it might be due to the fact that in convincing either of my point of view would be a personal verification of my own wisdom.
A student always seeks the teachers approval in the classic sense.

Tsk, tsk. I do agree with most of the nominations, particularly Martok, GH, Omanes, and, of course, Tosa. However, upon looking through the thread, I was most surprised that nobody mentioned lady Frogbeastegg, whose contributions to the Org are near unparalleled. I would also like to nominate Adrian II, and Mithrandir, the latter of whom has shown nothing short of devotion to the great and mighty camel.
Guys, thanks for all your contributions. Just a quick friendly reminder, this isn't a "like list" or a namedrop thread, this is for you guys to post about Orgahs who've had significant positive impacts on YOU individually.
Cheers all!
:balloon2:
Fragony has changed our lives
heh ~D
Whom I appreciate regarding the Org? Hmm, well... I am to appreciate anyone who is to be appreciated. This is usually in doses of small appreciation for one reason or another. That should answer the question adequately.
If we are to be more specific as in...
this is for you guys to post about Orgahs who've had significant positive impacts on YOU individually.
...then I would have to say there personally is no-one I could refer to. A few may have possibly neared it (consciously or unconsciously), but if my being was not receptive of significant positive impact then there has factually been no Orgah who has significant positive impact on me.
My stay here, of course, has also not been so long. By heart I estimate half a year. Perhaps in the future?

Well I am going to praise the backroom moderators, who don't only make us look civilised but act as ringmasters as well, especially BG and Kukri go way beyond the call of duty. And special hurray for Ser Clegane who goes through tremendous lenghts to really get into the matter at hand. Being a fair moderator gets you into interesting places doesn't it Ser :laugh4:
Don't now where to start...
Here we go:
- Everybody who contributed to my Should I become a parent? (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=84749&highlight=should+i+become+a+parent) thread.

I am truly gratefull for every single contribution made in that thread :bow:
- Thank you all members of the Dutch speaking 'gang' who brightened up many a day with the sometimes extremely funny conversations in the TYOLT: The Stranger, Stig, Moros, Fragony, Dutch_guy, Drisos and TosaInu, I hereby thank you for all the good times we had thus far in the TYOLT and please, keep up the nons worthy contributions.
- Thank you Martok, Ludens, Mithrandir, Moros and The Stranger for welcoming me at the Org and making me feel at home from the very beginning of my membership.

Don Corleone
07-25-2007, 15:49
I'd like to thank Tribesman. Yes, he drives me to the brink of violence at times with his maddening half-questions and leading allusions with no actual references. It took me a long time to understand though that he's not necessarily disagreeing with you, he wants to be certain you understand what it is you're waxing on it about. In short, any topic he takes an interest in, you better bring your "A" game.
I'd also like to thank Navaros. It's not easy consistently taking a position that you know almost nobody else agrees with, but he never seeks to take the popular position, or soften his message. Just as we need those who lead us to compromise, we need those who are the outposts of idealism. I may not always agree with Navaros, but I have to say I deeply respect his sense of conviction and how firmly he stands, regardless of how much flak he must surely know he's going to take. Now, if we could just get him to read more New Testament and less Old... :laugh4:
I'd like to thank all the Staff for doing an excellent job at what is mostly a thankless task (and for which they receive no reward). I think we all (myself included) tend to forget that these guys are human, have lives and have viewpoints. They don't sit around reading posts 24-7 with a perfect moral compass for objectivity.
Finally, I'd like to thank everybody else. This is without a doubt the best online community I've ever belonged to and I'm happy to have shared time and electrons with you all over the past 3+ years.
Wow, I feel very honoured by Andres.

KukriKhan, Gregoshi and TosaInu are extraordinary people to me, here.
They have done enough to make me see them as elders to follow the guidances of. Especially after my disastrous intro with my Armenian Issue struggle here, the reason I'm still here with you great people is due to Gregoshi-sensei 's light.
This was about appreciation, and although somehow I'm bored with here as much as it's the way with other things in my life, I really love you all.
Cheers to the bone.
Thank you Martok, Ludens, Mithrandir, Moros and The Stranger for welcoming me at the Org and making me feel at home from the very beginning of my membership.
And thank you for the "best almost first thread" thread!
:2thumbsup:
Especially after my disastrous intro with my Armenian Issue struggle here
Awwww, let's pretend it never happened ~;)
Fragony, what can I say he changed my life...well okay perhaps that's not it, but he surely made me laugh quite a lot. Thx Frag!
Andres, not just for metioning me (he's the only one so far...what's up with that? I'm appreciatable...Is that a word?), but also because he's a nice guy. And one that knows and understands what kind of nonesense politics are. (especially Belgian plotitics)
Doc_bean, nice guy who makes sure that the TYOLT has some conversations that do make sense once in a while.
Dutch_guy helpfull and freindly chap who made me understand the power of words balloons.
Drisos being one of the founding fathers of TYOLT, without him the dutch take over would never have been accomplished.
Stig He may come from Holland, he's remains a great guy. He could do with making a little less sense at time though.
Pannonian for being the evilest mafia guy I've dealt with. Great descriptions of his victims and all. It was great working together with you.
Arrividerci!
Insane Apache He surely is insane ~;)...I like that. He also started the jokes thread. Great fella.
Gregoshi if you think a sponge in the kigali desert is dry, you gotta see big G.
Beirut Surely the best or the second best mod of the frontroom. :yes:
Soly If you take photographs of beautifull women, you gotta get respect.
Ludens For moderating the meadhall, an often forgotten place, and organising the writing contests! Thanks alot!:2thumbsup:
Big King S. For being the best or the second best moderator of the frontroom! :yes:
GeneralHankerchief the bringer of mafia!
All EB members, betatesters, ex-members and fans for the best mod in gaming history
All Blue Lotus members, formers members, contributers and fans for the best RTW fantasy mod! With special thanks to Hoggy, the best 3D and 2D artist in the world of RTW modding!
Divinus Arma for being the great guy he is!
Gawain aka. the monument. For his numerous (tiny understatement) music threads, but also his for his other contributions in other threads. Even tough we may have different political views, I like this kid. ~;)
Last but not least THE_STRANGER for being:
1) The fonder of the TYOLT
2) Beirut's son
3) Even more messed up as I am. ~;) ~D
4) A great contributer to the Meadhall
5) Not being dutch ~;)
6-...) and so many more reasons...also watch out for the flying hippo bombers!!!
Als a big thanks to everyone who makes the frontroom the great place it is!
Hope I didn't forget anyone.

Thanks for putting my name forward, but I'd hate to be given the credit thta rightly belongs to someone else. Kommodus was your fellow mafioso in Mafia III. I was part of the Gang of Four that tried (very unsuccessfully) to root you out.
Should have been posted by Gertgregoor:

NB: IIRC Fragony started the joke thread.
:oops:
Wow. Many thanks to all who felt I deserved a mention. As KukriKhan put it, I am simultaneously embarrassed, honored, and humbled. :blush: :bow:
As for myself, there's so many Orgahs I could mention I scarcely know where to begin. Nonetheless, I shall do my best:
Adrian II, Andres, Banquo's Ghost, Beirut, BKS, Blind King of Bohemia, Caravel, Drisos, EatYerGreens, econ21, edyzmedieval, faisal/Leet Eriksson, frogbeastegg, Garcilaso de la Vega el Inca, Gregoshi, KukriKhan, LeftEyeNine, Ludens, Mithrandir, Omanes, Papewaio, Puzz3D, Rythmic, sapi, Sasaki Kojiro, Ser Clegane, Sinan, TosaInu, & VikingHorde.
I'm too lazy to actually list the reasons for my having named all these fine folks, but hopefully they all have a pretty good idea as to why I named them anyway. ~:) I also know I've forgotten at least a few names, so if anyone here feels I accidentally left them off my list, the odds are good that you're right. ~;)
I still feel quite new around here but I can't help but not give some props to a few that I have come into contact around here with:
Beirut simply for the fact seem like a best friend one minute but then law down the law on you(me). His humor and those (deleted post-Beirut).
Some of the chaps from the BABES Thread have had some rather interesting conversations in that place.
Gawain of Orkney for his musical prowess in all of the recent music threads and also everyone who has taken part in them. It was/is fun reading and finding out about other bands and songs that I might be interested in and everybody was/is very convincing and I have actually listened to a few just for kicks.
The rest of the FRONTROOM chaps you guys are great clean fun insightful and homey(as in coming here and having fun conversations without having to worry about other's ego's and being shot down hard).

Econ21. I havent talked to him, but during my first months, he was a great person to have around. :bow:

I like pretty much all of you... theres only the very occasional .org member that i don't like...
But if you going to narrow me down to a list...
Louis, hysterical... i find myself agreeing with him alot too...
TinCow, had a great mafia victory which he lead us to... usually intelligent posts in the backroom...
Gawain Of Orkeney, This guy could go on for pages and pages, complete opposite views for so many things but a great debator, also a good player online had some good games with and against him...
Sasaki, mainly for that fued we had a few games back, was entertaining for me at least... hammered me back when we had an 8 game run on MI, i like to think i was out of practice but the truth is sasaki is/was kick ass at MI... always entertaining to play mafia with...
Fragony, cool guy, dutch as well. May disagree with some of his views but i think he has a heart of gold...
Tribesman, funny irritating and confusing all at once... a great personality to have in the backroom...
Dave, comedy gold!
Seamus, Andres and GH, firendly guys who host great mafia games, good moderators too. I also enjoy reasing Seamus contributions in the backroom... well thought out and usually a bit different from my view... Andres well thought out too... but usually i agree with him...
Tosa, the great admin in the sky...!
KK, the living breathing definition of honour. A great stand up guy in almost every way.... hangs around on practically the opposite side of the political compass but it isn't simple to predict his position on every issue that comes up...
The old Aggony guys, the Fears and the GreyWolves... my clanmates at one time or another... all stand up guys...
My friends clans, Insane, special shout out for Apache, had many great Insane VS Aggony games!
The bears as well... not sure if any of them are on here...
And too many more to mention...
Can't believe i almost forgot Beirut, Great guy and funny as well. Enjoyed greatly his cartoons on the israeli plaestine situation (was it bill and margaret i can't remember ?)
I love you all equally... just some more equally than others ~;)
Husar: For being one of the only sane people in the chat.
GoreBag: For his intellect and knowledge on most all subjects, for breaking taboos and being able to question things yet unquestioned.
LeftEyeNine: Something or another..what was it again? For his help on finding out my name! Woohoo! Türkiye!
Tribesman: For his insight in the Backroom, managing to bring a smile on my face even in the most heated of discussions.
Fizzil/Leet Erikkson: Arabs among eachother, eh? For his assistance on the subject of Islam and great sense of humour.
Fragony, cool guy, dutch as well. May disagree with some of his views but i think he has a heart of gold...
Truth.

Rhyfelwyr how could i ever forget Rhyfelwyr. former contestant in the famous "Rhyfelwyr-Hooahguy post race of the Century" he still remains a true friend even though he lost. :bow:
Why thank you kindly, good sir. :bow:
Now, for my list, I'll probably miss some people since this is off the top of my head but...
hooah - although of a different faith, having him in the backroom means I'm not the only young zealot around. :beam: and of course, he is known as the Lion of Zion with good reason...
Philipvs Vallindervs Calicvula - although we are doomed never to agree on anything related to Christian doctrine, still I have had many duels with him, and its always good to discuss other views. he also provides a more philosophical outlook compared to my furious scripture-qouting style, but I still think we can meet on some level when debating
LittleGrizzly - even though he disagrees with my religious views, he is still always respectful and tries to understand them and find a common ground, sometimes when I do not always return it
Reen Roink - for jumping to the rescue to confuse people with big words and abstract concepts whenever we are having on of those theism v atheism debates
Martok - although all the moderator staff are friendly, Martok has always struck me as a particularly friendly fellow :bow:
Meth - aka Megas Methuselah... was a cool guy from my short time in the EB tavern, despite his spreading rumours of my Welshness. :mean:
pevergreen - I'm still a pever!
Vuk - a brother from the pever rebellion, Vuk is always up to something funny, like making blatant Godwins or changing his user title to make it look like he's banned. :laugh4:
Warman8 - bring him back! we want another Warman thread! :clown:
Tribesman - at first when I came to the backroom I thought he was a [insert wording here], but he's actually alright and when he gives those remarks its usually to point us in the right direction
Fragony - although its always easy to make nasty remarks about right wing people, I reckon frags is actually a nice guy, I also like his "just because you say it doesn't make it true" approach when the rest of us would be getting carried away with hyperbole
Navaros - IIRC I've only seen this guy once in a backroom thread, but it sounds like he's a bit of a legend and I like to view myself as his successor in the backroom

Most of you are wonderful lads. Thanks :2thumbsup:

Veho Nex for just being awesome.
Sweet. Thanks.
As for my list... do I have to pick and choose? I feel as though the org isn't the org unless you're all here, as for new people, it's like adding toppings to an already great cake.
Fragony, cool guy, dutch as well. May disagree with some of his views but i think he has a heart of gold...
:2thumbsup:
edit, foreigners living here aren't very impressed with the social restraints of the dutch it seems, fresh from the mailbox.

I'd like to add the names that actually kind of personify the Org for me. I mean I hang around here quite a while each day, reading threads. I don't post that much though, nor do I interact that much with others.
Anyway when I think of the Org, first off I think of Tosa and the fact that the Org is one of the greatest forums around. :yes:
Then there's Martok, friendly and helpful. He explained the whole 'camel' deal to me. :beam:
There's Whacker and Lemur (I still regret how at first I thought that Prosimians were extinct).
And there's Fragony (I remember some really awesome pics in the Babe thread :grin:).
And Alexanderofmacedon, the only chap here, who watches Hindi movies, besides me, I think.
And then there are the Org members. I can't remember ever seeing a forum full of people who're so nice and helpful to everyone, and just so.....err....'together'......it gives this place a warm feel, that's hard to find, when you can't even see the person you're speaking with.
Being here, a part of it, feels good.
:bow:
