Why my name is cordelia
Back in the Day, I was playing in a tabletop RPG in the AD&D2 universe. It was a high-death campaign, with an average 10% character survival rate per adventure. Through much luck, this character perpetually survived.When I arrived at MIT as a student, the registration tool suggested I "pick a memorable username, like your first initial-middle initial-last name, or a character from a novel, or a character from an RPG" -paraphrased. Can you see where this is headed?
Some things I have done in my life:
- Worked at Disneyland
- Been a bartender and sommelier
- Attended MIT
- Information Warfare Engineer (and former SnackO) in the 609th Information Warfare Squadron
- Security Architect
- CISSP

E2 Punishments
Sometimes, a noder will misbehave in the eyes of The Powers That Be or high level noders. This misbehavior may be for failing to head the instruction to avoid noding about noding; or criticizing an anonymous deity. There is no presumption of innocence. Sometimes, you'll be smacked down hard. The ways of smack down are many:- You've Been Borged
- The Everything Death Borg, guided be the hand of god, reaches out and consumes you. You can't use the chatterbox. You can't /msg anyone. A little &null; will appear beside your name in Other Users. Whatever you do, resist the urge to communicate your displeasure by noding it. You may have been right; now you'll be dead right.
- You've been cursed.
- You'll lose of one your Golden Trinkets, and 10 XP. Not a huge hit, and doesn't seem to happen incredibly often. Feature terminated, November, 2002
- Nuking of your writeups.
- This will mostly target any writeups which comment on the Power Structure of Everything2. Note that this is in addition to the pruning that the Powers That Be may also be performing on your poor writeups (which may be 99% of the nukings).
- Systematic Downvoting
- Someone will go through your old nodes, dumping a lot of downvotes on you. This will not necessarily be done by a god or editor, anyone with lots of votes could do this.
- Instadownvoting
- Every time one of your writeups appears in New Writeups, it'll instantly garner a few downvotes. This is more annoying than hurtful. To deal with this, mention it to a known vote tagger, and feel the healing salve of a good vote tagging.
