Green or Red? Vistronic
Have you ever wanted to be Green or Red? Or, in other words, have you ever wanted to know what it's like to be either a Moderator or Administrator?
Well I've taken it upon my self to find out for you guys, first of all I bootmailed Andy, asking him questions like "How long have you been a Moderator?"

He replied with, "Since August '06." To me, this is quite a long time really. It shows he knows what he is doing as a Moderator else he wouldn't have lasted 2 years.
I also asked him what he thought were the perks of the job. "I wouldn't say there are any benefits as such but not being able to killed is handy, as otherwise we'd be having to revive each other every few minutes," he said.
This shows that staff really are just the same as players but Green, Yellow or Red.

Next, I bootmailed Sabin asking him very similar questions. I asked him, "Do you enjoy being a Administrator and why?"
He replied with "Yes, because it gives me the opportunity to help create something that thousands of people will enjoy."

This shows how dedicated you have to be to be apart of the hard working staff.
I further asked Sabin if he thought there was a difference between being Moderator and Administrator. "Very much, he said. "As a Moderator, I could help players by fixing their problems, investigating their concerns, and catching the bad guys. As an Administrator, I do the same thing, but for the game as a whole; that is, find and fix bugs, investigating exploits, and making the bad guys unable to do their dirty work."

Now this shows a very high level of professionalism. Even more so than being a Moderator, both jobs undoubtedly take a lot of skill, time and patience. That's why these people have been chosen by BSF, they have shown they have these three key qualities. My conclusion would be that I'd pick yellow, should I ever have to choose.
