Aquila
Every once in a while something real funny happens. Well, this is that once in a while. Very rarely do we get an inside perspective of an FFOnline Forum Administrator. Today, my main man Tseng decided to interview FFO Admin Aquila. Now, this happened almost by coincidence. Tseng was on his Art Gallery Voting, send your votes to the AIM below! He asked for a list of all the contacts that I had in my AIM buddy list. Since I had a bunch of FF Admins on file, one poor sap happened to be on. It all went down hill from there.
The following AIM conversation appears in it's uneditted form. The real handles for the two are as follows:
Tseng is tsengotheturks
Aquila is eSThAR77
Tseng: Hi would you like to vote for our art contest?
Tseng:
Aquila: ?
Tseng: Please pick first six places like this
Tseng: 1. A
Tseng: 2. B
Aquila: who are you?
Tseng: 3. C
Tseng: 4. D
Tseng: 5. E
Tseng: 6.
Tseng:fwww.shinraonline.com/artsamples.artsamples.html
Tseng: oops
Aquila: State your name.
Tseng: www.shinraonline.com/artsamples/artsamples.html
Tseng: There we go.
Tseng: Get 5 Gil!
Tseng: My name is Louis. Hi.
Tseng: ::Waits for your votes::
Aquila: Are you from ffo?
Tseng: Yes, I suppose.
Tseng: ::Waits::
Aquila: You suppose?
Aquila: State your user name?
Tseng: Are you voting?
Tseng: hey?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Auto response from Aquila: I am away from my computer right now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later...
Tseng: Back! You voting?
Aquila: You have not been authorized to talk to me.
Tseng: Yes I am.
Aquila: State your name.
Tseng: State your votes.
Tseng: My name is Louis. I told you!
Aquila: This conversation has been terminated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Auto response from Aquila: I am away from my computer right now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tseng: So you gonna vote?
Aquila: Why me?
Tseng: www.shinraonline.com/artsamples/artsamples.html
Aquila: Who are you?
Tseng: Because you're important.
Tseng: You're an important member in the Final Fantasy community
Tseng: Prestige.
Aquila: I am?
Aquila: I didn't know I was so popular already...
Tseng: Think how these young junior artists will feel when they hear the great Esthar of FFO voted in their contest
Tseng: It's these events that start careers
Aquila: You should not be talking to me. It is not permitted.
Tseng: It's okay. Just this once.
Tseng: You're very famous. It's just an honor to be talking with you. Please, just once. I have waited so long.
Aquila: Okay. But if Dh knows about this, you will be in trouble.
Tseng: Right. Trouble. You gonna vote?
Aquila: I don't know which on to vote. My duty is not art critic.
Tseng: Just pick what you think are the first six places
Tseng: In your humble opinion
Tseng: That's okay
Aquila: ...
Aquila: first 6 only?
Tseng: Yes, sir.
Aquila: what's F?
Tseng: Huh?
Aquila: what's F?
Tseng: You mean who's F?
Aquila: yeah.
Tseng: FF Tactcis
Tseng: You know, Geomancers
Aquila: oh...
Tseng: Yeah
Aquila: do you have permission to use ff tactics?
Tseng: Yes.
Aquila: never played it.
Aquila: if i HAD to vote, i guess i'll go for E...
Aquila: and for the record, i don't want my option to cause any troubles
Aquila: it's just a personal option. do not inform my leaders
Aquila: this conversation will be saved just in case. we will review it.
Tseng: Okay, sure. I'm not causing trouble.
Tseng: Tell Dh I said hi, too.
Aquila: no. i will not.
Tseng: I'm just trying to get someone as prestigious and...and...noteworthy as the great Esthar of FFO...to
Tseng: To vote in a kids' art contest
Aquila: i'm not esthar in ffo...
Aquila: and those arts are very good...i recognize some of these artists.
Tseng: They used to be in FFO as artists.
Aquila: what happened to them?
Tseng: We stole them.
Aquila: what?! who are you?
Tseng: I'm just a guy.
Aquila: i certainly can't CG like that
Tseng: Oh, don't be so modest, humble one.
Tseng: And first six.
Tseng: Not just one
Tseng: First six places
Aquila: what...?
Tseng: Pick the first six places...not just the first
Tseng: That's how the voting works, man
Tseng:
Tseng: Sorry about my vague explanation
Aquila: can't do that.
Aquila: can't pick...
Aquila: but i guess the second and third one will be G and B
Aquila: no comments on the others
Tseng: Why can't you pick? Do you need help picking?
Aquila: i have hard time picking stuff
Aquila: i always have
Aquila: anyway. i need permission to pick from the others.
Tseng: Oh come now. You're not the only one voting, you know.
Tseng: Hundreds of people are.
Aquila: no...i'm only voting the first 3...
Aquila: and that's it
Aquila: do not talk to me any further.
Tseng: hahaha
Tseng: Okay.
Tseng: Er, thanks.
Aquila: k
Tseng: So, um...are you a guy or girl?
Aquila: guy
Aquila: i thought i told you we weren't going to talk to me anymore.
Tseng: Ah.
Tseng: What? Who told you that?! Blasphamy!
Tseng: By the way, isn't Esthar's a girl's name?
Aquila: ...
Aquila: haven't you played ff8?
Tseng: Yes, i know, but still...
Tseng: So you're either a girl or a city
Tseng: You know what I mean?
Aquila: then there you go
Tseng: So you're a girlish city?
Aquila: i liked that city
Aquila: no.
Aquila: i do not like your sense of humor. persist.
Tseng: But are you THE city?
Tseng: And does a city have gender?
Aquila: persist.
Tseng: Well, I do. Obviously it would impact ont he way people view you online.
Tseng: People might hit on you.
Tseng: you know?
Aquila: it hasn't happened so far
Tseng: Send you naked picts of themselves if they're guys.
Tseng: Heh, well it might.
Tseng: What if the city was called Jill?

Auto response from Aquila: I am away from my computer right now.

Aquila
Tseng: Back for more, eh?
Aquila: go away.
Tseng: So how long have you been a mod at FFO?
Aquila: not for long. i was chosen.
Tseng: But you were a regular before right?
Aquila: yes.
Tseng: How long?
Aquila: not long
Aquila: go away
Tseng: A few months, eh?
Aquila: keep guessing
Tseng: days?
Tseng: hours?
Tseng: 0_o
Aquila: keep guessing
Tseng: years
Tseng: Well, at any rate, what forum do you mod?
Aquila: all of them.
Tseng: I used to be a member at FFO too.
Tseng: So does Dh still mod that place?
Aquila: s/he made the site, so what do you think?
Tseng: It's very...blue.
Aquila: it is a good site.
Tseng: Wow. You are certainly a mod for the ages.
Aquila: But I didn't do much compared to the others
Tseng: In fact, I have not seen a better mod for awhile.
Tseng: Oh come on, but it's quality!!!
Tseng: over quantity.
Tseng: They're like cheap beer, you're a fine wine mod
Aquila: all i do is moving the threads around and lock them if i had to, i don't deserve the credits
Tseng: But don't you see? You do the most important part.
Tseng: The dirty work
Tseng: You're down with the people
Aquila: i don't call those dirty works. it is not dirty.
Aquila: banning people and checking ID is
Aquila: not ID, IP
Tseng: You made a typo! You made a typo!!!
Aquila: shut up.
Tseng: So how many people have you banned so far?
Aquila: none. it is too early.
Tseng: You sure that's what your higher ups want?
Tseng: Why Dh, in his younger days would ban 10 people in an hour.
Aquila: banning people is not up to my decision. yet.
Tseng: Sigh. Dh. What a stud.
Aquila: i have to discuss with the rest of the group at least.
Tseng: I see. So bannings are democratic?
Aquila: no.
Tseng: Then why the discussion?
Aquila: you can ban people and then report later
Aquila: if that particular person annoyed the hell out of you
Aquila: but i just leave that to other admins
Tseng: I think you need to ban more people...you know, just to show them you have what it takes
Tseng: It turns Dh on you know...when you ban people.
Aquila: i don't wanna cause controversies
Tseng: Yes, but according to the autobiography of Dh, when you don't ban people
Tseng: They'll start whining and complaining
Tseng: It's best to silence them as soon as possible
Tseng: And eliminate all possibilites of free speech.
Tseng: It works.
Aquila: i agree. we shall talk about this further. brb
Tseng: Ok
Tseng: I await your return.
Aquila: back
Tseng: Could you do me a favor?
Aquila: now what?
Tseng: 'Cause you know, we're buddies and all.
Aquila: ...
Tseng: Can you post a thread in one of your forums about the art contest?
Aquila: about another site?!!! NO!!!
Tseng: Dh would LOVE that
Tseng: No
Tseng: About art
Tseng: Final Fantasy art
Tseng: The universal soul
Aquila: the contest in held in another site. no. persist.
Tseng: That brings all artists together
Tseng: Contest?!
Tseng: Whoa whoa whoa
Tseng: Such strong words!
Tseng: This is an art GALLERY
Aquila: i can't do any advertising works
Aquila: it's forbidden.
Tseng: Everything is forbidden. Is talking about sex forbidden?
Aquila: of course.
Tseng: What are you guys? An Islamic country?
Tseng: Anyway, it's not about who's site. It's about art.
Tseng: Art is universal.
Tseng: I'd like more people to see this.
Aquila: but since the works are placed in another site, i can't do it. it would make us look bad.
Tseng: Well...how would you like to join us then?
Tseng: You know...the dark side.
Aquila: nah...
Aquila: no time
Tseng: We have lots of pretty and volumptous women
Tseng: Of course you have time.
Aquila: no i don't, i'm busy enough
Tseng: All we need, is your soul.
Tseng: Then leave FFO.
Tseng: And join us.
Aquila: i've sold my soul for ffo
Tseng: Yes, but we party with your soul.
Tseng: FFO just locks it in a fridge all day long
Aquila: i don't party. it is not my way.
Tseng: Oh, well then, you need us more then ever.
Aquila: not really
Aquila: what's your site called?
Tseng: It is called by many a lot of things
Tseng: Heaven
Tseng: Hell
Tseng: Heaven in hell
Tseng: Hell in heaven
Tseng: But..
Tseng: It's offically known by its Hebrew name
Tseng: Shinra!
Tseng: And I, am the admin there.
Tseng: My card.
Tseng: ::give him his card::
Aquila: this is a nice site, but FFO is enough for me
Tseng: Thank you. Thank you.
Tseng: Just remember us.
Aquila: i don't know...
Tseng: If you ever have the chance to escape their control
Tseng: And throw caution to the wind
Tseng: Or just some nice porn
Tseng: We're here.
Tseng: We are always here.
Aquila: control? there is no control. i have free will.
Tseng: Ahahahahahaha. ::sniff:: That's what they all say.
Tseng: Farewell.
Tseng: You have now the mark of Shinra on you.
Tseng: And all the FFO people know.
Aquila: what?
Tseng: Dh will be informed in 24 hours.
Tseng: Goodbye.
Aquila: wait. what do you mean? come back.

Auto response from Tseng: Dh can suck my dick!!!!

For the actual conversation file, click here.
Now that's a long as convo. Now, we can draw a lot of conclusions from that conversation. Can it really be that FFO Admins are truly wuss inside. I ain't going to speculate. It took me too long to format that convo. I want to leave one impression on you Aquila. If your feelings expressed in this convo are genuine, get the hell out. As a Turk, I am free to do a lot of shit, including arguing with the head of the place. The head does not in any way own me, nor does Dh own you. If you ever get tired of all the crap they do to you, remember that Shinra Online will welcome you with open arms.
