Please, if you are not staff, don't answer questions in this thread, even if you think you know the answer.

Also, please take complains about bans, question about TL as a site, etc to the Website Feedback Forum.

How can I be a banling?

As the newest banling, allow me to answer this question.
+ Show Spoiler +

The first step is to understand how to be evil. After all, the only people who moderate websites are heartless cruel individuals who have nothing to better to do in their spare time other than too terrorise the denizens of a website and likely don't have any real friends which means they need to project their loneliness and anger onto people online. Besides, TL is known as the evil website where all the moderators are apparently literally Hitler due to "User was banned". We've got a reputation to uphold here, people!

Once that's done, you need to then pay an extortionate amount of ESPORT DOLLARS (TM) to at least half of admins who sit on the inner voting council to make sure you get through the voting process. Some admins are permanent members so you know exactly who to bribe. However, the some of the council rotate every few months so you need to figure out who these people are. I recommend sleeping around to find out who is on the current rotation.

Then comes the trial by combat. Every banling has to duel a permanent representative of the council. It's like the Orange League fights from Pokemon where Ash has to do these weird duels in order to get the Orange League Badges, except with more pain and green explosions. I mean, did you link the name "Banling" was made because it's a cute pun? Hell no. It's because we fight in a stadium where the ground is mined with burrowed banelings.

Only once that is done can you claim the right to be a Pokemon Master member of the TL Staff.


Oh cool, I can do that.

Well he most likely wanted banling powers just to ban some people in that thread or something.

What are your favorite kind(s) of tea?


There's a particular type of "Green Bamboo" tea I pick up every time I go to Chengdu that's a longtime favorite of mine, I'm also fairly accustomed to fake Sichuanese 龙井 and actually prefer it to the authenthic 西湖龙井 for personal use (the fact that its like 1/4 the price also helps)
Aside from that generally other greens or 铁观音, a specific type of Oolong
Jasmine is generally also good but unfortunately those don't keep for very long
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I drink tea of all colours, white, green, red, and black, most often black though.
So some favourites:
Earl Gray (Black/Green)
Jasmine (White/Green)
Söders Höjder (Black)

I dunno. Generally when staff go from colored to non-colored (or something similar) I just assume that they were caught selling secrets to GosuGamers.

I think Heyoka read Oldgrain's post and was like "oops we should probably do another one of these". Then he wrote the announcement.
