Riot: For those of you who would rather assault somebody in the forums, then the kill feature, your biggest story is the addition of two (three?) new HDO's. There are a lot of people who claim they would never take the HDO job, yet everyday the Mods receive millions of request from players hoping to get the job.
Andy: Many might wonder what the best way is to become a HDO, is it forum whoring, being knowledge about the game or even cybering with Moderators?
Riot: If you happen to be sociable, a genius of the game, or just happen to have passion in your keyoard, you might some day be faced with the chance to become an HDO. My question ... is why ? Every day I get an average of 37 stupid BMs about stupid thing. To me, hell would be being required to respond to those BM's. So Andy, I ask you, what are the perks of being an HDO ?
Andy: Firstly, for the successful applicants who take the forum whore route, you get your name lit up in lights which is useful to make your inane posts stand out from the pack and a whole new forum becomes available to you. A forum which is solely filled by staff posts, so you can only imagine the sort of high brow, philosophical threads that take place in such esteemed company.
Secondly, and a much more important perk of the job, is the chance to have the Elite Guard at your beck and call. No longer will you have to take a screenshot if a Moderator should happen to interact with you, in fact they may actually converse with you as if you are a normal person. Almost as if you are one of them!
Riot: But at the end of the day, you are not. What better way to show case superiority then to separate by color. One is the color of money, the other is the color of urine. I like our Moderator staff, they are fun to talk to, but it is a package deal. You can not have them, without having the noobs write you all the time, totally ignoring the help desk feature. Andy what was the most annoying question to be asked as a HDO ?
Andy: Yes, it's always best to showcase superiority by separating by colour and I don't recall any instances in history of that ever going wrong and causing a backlash.
Good question and a tough one to answer as there were so many recurring questions. The obvious one was "what or who did you do to become a HDO?", for which the answer was 'BSF2000 and Sabin (at the same time)' but a few others include "why is your name yellow?", "when will I rank up?", "Do you like Avril?", "what happened to my thread full of Nazi porn?" and the ever popular "why don't you go and fuck yourself?"..
Riot: Oh a classy a society are we. We make fun of the HDO job, but the truth is, if they have not asked you be an HDO, it is because you would suck at it. The HDO is an important job her on BL because it saves the Admin thousands of hours by not having to tell you that your thread full of Nazi porn has been moved to the EG crew forum, and you will never rank up because there is no experience giving for whining! In fact, the HDO is such a great thing to have, Congratulations Andy, You have been promoted to crew HDO. Keep on going!
Andy: I'm honored to accept the sacred position of crew HDO, I will take my responsibilities seriously until I suddenly, and mysteriously, disappear for a year or two.
Riot: Thanks for reading! Check us out next week when we will either talk about Jail busting, or BSF’s love life!
