Riserva Receives a Green Coat Mikamon
At the beginning of this week, major decisions were made by the Elite Guard. This did not only mean Help Desk Operators were removed from the Help Desk, on the contrary, it also meant a promotion for two Help Desk Operators, as both Nyxxie and BoBY (Riserva) were promoted to the position of Moderator. The Buzz was eager to find out more and contacted Riserva for an interview, which he happily gave.

Riserva said, “When it was first mentioned, I couldn't really believe it. I had to re-read the conversation to actually fully get the entire event.” To further describe what went through his mind as he was promoted, he added, “It felt good, actually, it felt amazing. Once the adrenaline rush wore off, the reality hit in and it was just an amazing new experience.” As a response on whether or not Riserva had expected his promotion, he said, “In all honesty, I didn't expect it at all.”

However, despite the fact that Riserva did not expect the promotion, he did tell the Buzz, “I'm not going to lie to you when I say that everyone who becomes an HDO wishes for this to happenn. The ones that don't, are just lying to themselves and you.” He further added, “But it didn't represent a goal for me, I simply saw it as a reward for dedication and hard work.”

Now that Riserva had been promoted, the Buzz was eager to know what he planned on doing with his new postion. “As a Moderator, I will try to perform my duties as well as possible,” Riserva said. “Help the players any way I know how to, as well as make sure no TOS violation goes unpunished. Sounds cheezy, I know, but I like it.”

This aim concluded our interview with Riserva. We now know what we can expect from one of our new Moderators. In addition to his previous comments, Riserva had one last comment. He concluded his interview by telling the Buzz, “Finally, I'd just like to say that being promoted along side someone who has had it coming for a long time now, Nyxxie, is an honor.”

Bootleggers has two new moderators as of this week. Like was said before, they worked hard for it and are aiming to keep working hard to preserve the game we all love. The Buzz would like to wish both of them the best of luck in carrying out their duties and would like to thank Riserva for his time. Good luck to both of them, and may they keep Bootleggers a save and pleasant place to be.
