I was also doubly surprised to learn that this phenomena is not a natural one, and is actually supported by certain members of these forums. Having been told who these individuals were their custom ranks finally made sense (I had assumed over the years that they were simply part of a foreman team for a building site). And so it is that in order to appease these unique individuals that we decided which among them is most worthy of our praise and a small metaphorical trophy with our illustrious ex-leader's head placed squarely on top. Let us see what mythical beasts are up for this accolade.
eternalshiva, by definition, is an oxymoronic name. After all Shiva is a Hindu God, and thusly eternal by default. Nevertheless that hasn't stopped this young lady from contributing plenty to our front page. Whether it's the whole shebang or some simple pics, eternalshiva gets the job done. Though perhaps not as noticeable or commanding a prescence as some of our other members, those who know her enjoy her company at the same level as a big pile of warm buttery toast, or even luke-warm buttery crumpets. Who's to say what's real in the big wide world of breakast similies? When not tirelessly churning out content she can be found trampling around Vana'diel, and is even awesome enough to have levelled a Red Mage to 75. If that isn't reason enough to give her a ciddie I don't know what is.
Flying Mullet conjures up for many of us two images; either an 80's hairdo soaring gleefully in the air or dirty mind things that Jebus frowns upon (you there, stop that!). His claims to being 110% awesomesauce may be mathematically unsound but they're certainly not based in untruthiness. With a love of Final Fantasy 6 that borders on the stalkerish, his depth of knowledge of all things pixel-based knows some limits, but those limits are pretty darned big. He's also the creator of a rather obscure Javascript game where you too can live out your dreams and violently murder most of the members of the forums. Such is the great work this man has performed. If you feel like bothering him when he wins/when he loses, you can sometimes poke, slap, tickle and fondle him (if you're so inclined) in the chat room to yours or his hearts content.
Renmiri's username is difficult to make a joke for. The best I could think of was it being the Russian name for Ren and Stimpy. Anyways, The Renmulator is the youngest of the Site Staff in terms of join date, but her contribution in that short time is nothing to be sniffed at. Her main interest is in the world of Spira, with numerous articles and pages spread evenly across the internet like so much jam. Not only that but she's a well-known celebrity (if that's a good thing round these parts) on the forums, with her posting style reminiscent of an excited kitten with a pink bow wrapped in Christmas lights. She also spends an inordinately large amount of time in the Final Fantasy 12 forums, which probably mean's she's slightly crazy since no one likes Final Fantasy 12. Honestly, it's true, the hell you looking at me like that for?
Spatvark, with a name that sounds like some obscure Australian creature that gobs in ant-hills, is our last contender. As old as the hills and with a snazzy green title to prove it, Spatty is perhaps the least seen member of the Site Staff. But this just adds to his mystery, and is a mere ruse to cover over his intrepid work. There are many projects that Varkness has been involved with or even started, but with his hand in so many pies like some kind of rampant pastry thief it's difficult to discern just what is his and what isn't. Still, his continued endeavours are a welcome addition to our community. While his generally sour and negative outlook on life and even EoFF itself may rub some up the wrong way, he still commands respect amongst many of the older members, especially those involved behind-the-scenes.
So, it is with a palpable sense of semi-excitedness that I hand you over to the results of this four horse race. Not that the Site Staff are equidaeous per say, but I have seen them running around in circles on the dirt track out the back. Honestly, it's true, the hell you looking at me like that for?
