I wannabe a mod...............

I hear this countless times every day. But a little clue guys and dolls, when you say it you are put back at the bottom of the list. Also some things that will put you back at the bottom are: different behaviour when mods are present, being overly friendly and trying to be their best buddy. When mods are looking for a new mod, they rarely do it while wearing their mod suit. They come as an alt and observe.
You will be watched over time to see how well you blend into the room. The users I have nominated, I have watched several weeks maybe months before they are chosen. So if you want to make a good impression, be yourself, don't go overboard to make yourself noticed. It really does not help you at all. And don't become a minimod.
If a mod is present let them do their job. You do not need to step in and help. We mods have been trained and were chosen because of our abilities to handle the trolls.Please do not feed these trolls and also please learn to use your mute buttons. This site is growing and they are looking for new mods everyday. But as they are looking they are weeding out the ones that will never make it. All of you are great users and someday you may become a mod.

February in The Village......

Happy Kong-day MeMe44…



A year has passed, what a wonderful year it has been. Who knew a year ago that this site would have brought me so much pleasure. I signed on kong to play a game called Protecter, and I was hooked from the start. Maybe it was meant to be, so that I could meet the most wonderful people in the world. All of you have brought so much joy to my life, it’s like a party in my house every day. Each and every one of you are special in your own way, whether you are part of MeMe’s Mod Squad or a regular in the Village.I love chatting with all of you. The only thing I could wish for is a RL party with all of you invited to eat, drink, and be merry. So cheers to another year!


I would like to welcome BJBinty and qwertyrobot as the newest mods to join MeMe’s Mod Squad. They were already great regulars and are wonderful mods. In addition, we have visiting mods that drop in on a regular basis BlackSEED and Darxzero. The Village has become the place to be, so have a wonderful time while you are here.


HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to all of you. Hope you find the love of your life
wherever they may be.

More Talent In The Village................

Twilight deepens as I walk from the fog of the city towards The Village. Fumbling for a match, I strike not only it but a posture as I swing access the gateway into it. Gently prodding those who greet me with a remembered moniker (which only slightly of their choosing). I whisper to the friendly overlord and settle in amongst the inhabitants who lurk this corner of the Wide World. We have banded as noncommittal travelers to oblivion’s ecstasy breathing domain. We come from afar, each and all. Swearing allegiance to none but our quests, we meet here to discuss our fortunes and ills, both of this world and another. I see others slide their often lubricated tongues into the fray of language I only occasionally monitor. Laboring for none by myself in this Village, I can only occasionally string out the lexicon used by long time Villagers. I see no Police. I see no Construction Worker. I see no Sailor. I see no large, Half-Naked Indians. Yet we remain Village People, banded together by mutual lust for adaptation to whatever foray we decide upon this eve. We shall never change the world outside our own, but whatever is outside our realm matters not. We are here to entertain ourselves and others, be it with wit or achievement. Here we sit and lounge, deepening our research into fun and revelry. Their faces and True Names are unknown to me; but I know them. Raising my glass to my sweat-beaded lips I cherish each night I meet with thee, Village.



This blurb for the blog was written by WahooSyrup, a new regular to join us in The Village. Welcome and keep writing.
Yet again I am amazed by the talented users The Village has in its cloistered walls. I am so lucky to have so many of you willing to give me your writings to post. Thanks to all.

Happy New Year...........

Ah, the start of a new year! Will it be a great one for you? Only time will tell. While you are finding that out, please enjoy some more talented prose from some of the wonderful people in the Village. I am amazed at how many of the Villagers are excellent writers, poets and musicians. Feel free to send me anything you want posted and I will review it and post it.


Badshad comes up with funny stuff all the time, this is something he said the other day in chat:

When you enter The Village to see what is there, remember your manners and take special care.
Watch out for the trolls, with their mean ugly mugs, and don't be surprised by the *glomps* and the *hugs*


vanilla_dreaming has written some wonderful things too:

Last night changed me forever. It’s hard to put into words what happened to me, but I shall try my best, for only in understanding will you be able to avoid my fate, and the cold, dark emptiness that surrounds my mind. I sat, last night, as I always do, typing away at my keyboard, surfing the net, browsing meaningless web pages to relieve the boredom that envelops my life. I watched as the red lights of the clock flashed at me, different numbers, different patterns each time I looked, yet still ticking, counting down. But to what? I glanced back, unseeing, to the screen, my mind shut off from my body. I knew I should get some sleep, God knows I needed it, but it’s harder than it sounds. For someone like me, at any rate. The numbers ticked on reassuringly, keeping track of seconds, minutes, hours that passed by. 22:32, 22:33, 22:34, 01:84. I did a double take, surely I wasn’t in that much need of sleep?

Happy Holidays...............

To all the people in The Village, I want to wish you Happy Holidays! This is my favorite time of the year. It does not matter what faith you are or if you have no religious beliefs at all, this time is special. It is a time filled with good food, parties, family and friends. May all of you enjoy every moment with whatever you choose to do. I love each and every one of you, you all make my time in The Village an experience that can not be described. Please travel safely during this busy holiday season and return to me safe and sound. And if you have time, pop in and play a game, I am sure some of us will still be there. Cheers to a New Year that brings us peace and hope!
Love.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Yes, the word is Respect. We are not talking about a song that was written and released by Otis Redding in 1965. Or made famous by Aretha Franklin in 1967. And was recently listed as #5 on the Rolling Stone's chart "500 Greatest Songs of all time.

The word Respect means to hold in esteem. Someone mentioned this word to me this week. Which brought me to writing this post. Some of the young people today are not aware of what this word means.

We all need to show respect and appreciation to the Greers for creating this site, to Greg for working hard to see that we have fun games to play, to administration for their efforts to keep things running smoothly. Respect and appreciation go hand in hand.

But this is where I come in into the picture. As a volunteer helping to keep this site wonderful,I think the Mods need a lot of respect. We all work hard to make sure everyone is having fun. I can't count..... how many games I have had to restart, the nasty names I have been called, the phone calls put on hold because I am in the middle of a troll parade. The food that has turned cold also comes into my mind. And I am not complaining by any means. I chose to do this and I love it. The fun I have greatly outweighs the grief. I just want some of our new users to learn the word "respect" and to appreciate what we all have been given. A wonderful site, with wonderful people who care about everyone. So all you regulars out there who know this word, let's teach it to the new users. It will be interesting to see if they can learn.

Vibblish Spoken Here

When you enter The Village be prepared; The Village people have
their own language.
They speak Vibblish, a unique way of speaking that is so much fun.
Some have said it has carried on IRL.

this unusual vocabulary.

our words and writing this dictionary.
