At this point I'm so used to it being grey that seeing the white immediately makes me think "link"

I don't have a problem with the blackout theme on my Am. Football team's forum.
I don't use it because I love the classic look here. It is too bad we do not have a talented person with the patience to match the badges with a theme. I am not a big fan of the Troy badges, but I wouldn't mind a bronze age look.

I'd be more than happy to make more appropriate rep icons/badges or whatever for blackout or the other themes. Though I'm not sure that VB4 allows you to change badges based off of the themes, I think they're just tied to usergroups and there's no way it would be practical to triple the number of usergroups.

**PikeStance** · December 24, 2021, 07:51 AM

The rep icons yes, badge no. I just meant the theme to match the badges. There are themes for Rome II and medieval II. I thought the Roman theme was for Rome not Rome II, but maybe it was updated by y2day when he last updated.

Updating themes is, from what I understand, significantly more complicated and labor intensive than it was for VB3. Which is why we cut down on the number of skins we had from VB3 to VB4.

Aside from the graphical aspect of it, there is a good bit of behind the scenes tech stuff that would need to be done.

I though the reason we have fewer themes is that there is nobody around to make them.

Yes, y2day was the last to update them. The TWCenter skin was updated by him. No one created any for some time because it is not as simple of changing colors on your profile. The "technical" issue is that it is complicated to do.
I distinctly remember when y2day messing with it, but I cannot guess when exactly. He tinkered for hours on the forum. I recall giving him feedback about it. It was not long after that he took over the store.

The Curia Banner Competition Poll is now up!

Please go and vote for your preferred submission!

Shouldn't there be a Consul election about now?

**Akar** · January 10, 2022, 11:10 AM

We've decided to just do away with elections entirely.

Well, that would clearly be an abuse of power. Time to start the VONC process.

**Akar** · January 10, 2022, 04:16 PM

We've actually decided to do away with the VoNC process entirely.

That would make sense if you dont have elections anymore.

I AM THE SENATE

**PikeStance** · January 11, 2022, 01:41 AM

Why is there still no application thread? We should have already had a completed election by now.

Not smart proclamation atm, having done away with elections and vonc, is because he has just crossed the Rubicon. You've just painted a big target on yourself. Better run south.

**Akar** · January 11, 2022, 11:28 AM

As I said, we've done away with elections.

Nah, jokes aside it'll be up tomorrow which is the date we've got in the Consul Tasks and Election Dates thread.

**PikeStance** · January 11, 2022, 11:59 AM

You have the wrong date

The previous consul term ended on the 9th of September 2021

Consul:Emperor Commodus - Term Expires September 9th, 2021

The previous election was concluded on 10th of September 2021. Thus, the election should have been concluded by today (11th of January 2022) not "start."

**z3n** · January 11, 2022, 01:37 PM

Right but as per subsection IVIX in the subclause XIGIVI all consul terms during Q4 due to the amount of fall and winter holidays shall not be subject to a specific termination date, proposal VXVI brought that about during the year XVIIXIIXI.
