Behold! Mild-mannered Elven Doritos, a fairly prolific poster on the CBG, was discovered by the mighty Wizard, Ishmayl, and granted modhood! When ElDo speaks the magic name of the wizard, a bolt of lightning crashes downward. In the process, he gains amazing powers to become Captain Mod, CBG's Mightiest Mortal!
When the magic word is spoken, he gains the following powers:
Imhotep's magic, to make threads disappear and reappear!
Shesha's snakiness, to wield powers over the serpents of the Guild!
Horus' leadership, to keep the CBGuide together!
Mercury's speed, to move threads between forums!
Ares' strength, to scold mean posters!
Yama's judgement, to know where lines lie!
Loki's mischeivousness, to keep his sense of humor!
If you ever need Captain Mod, he is only a PM away-- for official Mod business, put [Captain Mod] in the PM title!

"By the power of Ishmayl... I have the Power!"
*Transforms into He-Man*
(Or, in ElDo's case: He-Mod)

...No?
SHAZA--
waitasec....
I like this thread :)
Obviously he grants the power of Great A'Tuin, the power of Shielding.
Look at his frelling avatar!

He keeps all that for himself. :(
Of course that turtle aspect is also his weakness.
As can be demonstrated if you flip him on his back on a busy stretch of highway... :demon:
I don't think A'Tuin frequents highways, actually. And considering four oversized elephants fit on his back, I doubt you'd be able to flip him over with just any old friendly neighbourhood trip attack.

Obviously, you don't know Cymro's modifier...
Heh.
I don't NEED a highway! I have a world with a hyperdrive! *giggles psychotically* with Silvercat as my second in command, and Sdragon as the communications officer!
Quote from: Golem011Heh.

*puts potato in the tailpipe of his hyperdrive*
Haha! And they called me mad! Mad I say!
*wanders away giggling*

...... youre not making another reference to classic star trek, are you?
'cause if you are, i will quickly relinquish my role as your communications officer...
Star Trek ships use warp engines, not hyperdrives.
Sheesh.

Sheesh.
well yeah, of course
I know that....
Okay, okay - inspired by this abbreviation-catchword thing, I'm going to make up my own out of my own forum name! Here it is!
D! for the devastating power of my bombast!
E! for the electrifying size of my vocabulary!
E! for the ever-readiness of my elocution! ...or just for elocution, I guess...
L! for ... something. I dunno.
Ish goes the distance!

not quite how that works....
see, ISHMAYL, much like SHAZAM, is an acromyn of the mythological figures from which he draws his powers.
edit- an alliteration would make you AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
yknow, the mysterious guy always refered to by murder victims in horror films?
Huh? I'm tryin to figure out if that word is supposed to be alliteration (which wouldn't make sense), or il-literation (which is not a word, but would make a slight bit more sense)... Crazy-ass languages!
Or maybe you meant personification, except that Ishmayl/Ishmael/Ishamael was already a person, so I can't be attributing personal qualities to him...
Maybe I just liked the way the name sounded and chose it with complete disregard to any true reason. I don't hunt whales...
Touche.
Golem011 is based on a long-ago, horrific PnP game I played... *twitches*

Better you than the whales. So sayeth Greenpeace. :D
What it is as an acronym representing both the Wizard and the deities that he channels through the lightning bolt. ;)
Oh sure, like I was going to put as much thought into it as the guys at Fawcett Comics. I can admire Elven's approach without imagining I've got the brains to imitate it.

you dont? so you're a telepathic gorrila?
I thought he was a computer that thought... Honest mistake ;)
He's a digital gorilla who is also a proficient wizard that grants my powers through a magical harpoon-shaped lightning bolt!
