Anyway, Veteraan has been elected as Censor (poll results here)

[♔atthias♔]

I see I scored a landslide victory against myself.

Thanks for taking the trouble to vote for and support me, guys!

Nobody has been put up for Citizenship for a while. No-one wants to adopt a poor underprivileged pleb and raise them out of the muck?
Also, great gif

[PikeStance]

I thought we mau here from the gaming community regarding some worthy applicants?
I may know of a few myself, but I have been busy as of late.

Anyway, the buzz is nearly gone.

[SoulGamesInc]

I've got 2-3 candidates actually, so we'll see what comes of that.

[General Brewster]

Hello everyone,

Considering that Shankbot still has not taken up the mantle of magistrate, I had hoped he would've taken it up by now.
Sadly enough this leads me to to conclude Shankbot is not active enough and there needs to be a new election. Depending on who has the most time on his hands either I of my trusted CA Lifth will put those up within a day or two.

That was all for now
I hope everyone is encountering the fortune they deserve and for those with wives I hope the leash is not too tight

Great news! I am looking forward to the applications!

[Lifthrasir]

Esteemed Citizens, the Magistrate applications are now closed. The poll is awaiting for your votes
Meanwhile, you can still post your question to the candidate in the Debate Thread

[Lifthrasir]

Esteemed Citizens, as you have probably noticed, I've made an application and a debate threads for the Magistrate election. This election should have taken place about a month ago actually. But due to a mistake in the Curator duties calendar and overbooked real life agendas, that mistake hasn't been spotted before today. The Curator and myself thought we had to give an explanation and we apologize for the inconvenience

[Commissar Caligula_]

Muwhahahaha my devious plans have come to fruition and I reigned supreme for a month longer and you think it was a mere oversight?
That said, during the last month there have been absolutely 0 new cases...

[Frunk]

It raises an interesting question, though. Perhaps with the admittedly limited activity of both the Tribunal and, last time I checked, the Triumvirate, that we could consider increasing the length of terms for Magistrates and Censors? Perhaps to 4-6 months?

[Lifthrasir]

@ Caligula, all is well in the best of all worlds as Voltaire said

I have been busy from the start of my term as Censor, right until now. Despite that, lengthening those terms could be useful. Apart from the actual amount of cases, there is also not an abundance of candidates for Censor and Magistrate, to put it mildly.

[Lifthrasir]

4 months sounds good from my opinion. It doesn't extend too much the term duration and remove one election per year and per position.

Agreed. There's no need for elections for the sake of elections, especially as we often only have one candidate and/or sometimes, it's a re-election. I'll see if anyone else has any specific thoughts on this and then maybe draw up an Amendment.

4 months sounds reasonable.

[Commissar Caligula_]

So I'm a trailblazer of reform

[Lifthrasir]

^^ Do you want a cookie for that? I can ask General Brewster for you

Ok, I have given this some thought...
I like the 4 month idea, but i would love for there to be some consistency in the election and less of burden of filling the position. This is what I come up with...

All Curia position will be for 4 months. The elections will be staggered so that there is only two position elected in the same months. It looks like this

Below Shows the month of elections
Dec [Censor 1]

Summary
Censor 1: Dec (Term: Jan-Feb-Mar-April) , April (Term: May-June-July-August), Aug.(Term: Sept-Oct-Nov-Dec)
Censor 2: Feb (Term: March-April-May-June),June (Term: July-Aug-Sept-Oct), Oct.(Term: Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb)
Curator: Jan (Term: Feb-March-April-May), May (Term: June-July-August-Sept), Sept. (Term: Oct-Nov-Dec-Jan)
Magistrates: March (Term: April-May-June-July), July (Term: Aug-Sept-Oct-Nov), Nov. (Term: Dec-Jan-Feb-March)

Four months offers a great opportunity to stagger the elections.
Within the Constitution, we need a Senior Censor, so they have to be at different times. I chose the largest spacing possible. This means the Curator and Magistrates appear on the other two months.
There isn't a reason to have a senior Magistrate, so it is an easy choice. You also only have one to render a decision in the Tribunal, so if we are short, then we can get by with one until the issue is resolved.

[Please note, the months chosen for elections was to illustrate the system and it not meant to be a preferred month. I used more than one calendar year for continuity.]

Hi guys,
I have one question to all of you. How is the relationship between TWC and CA? I noticed that before, many members of CA where quite active on TWC (like Craig). But now, it doesn't look that really. Also, when ETW came out, CA was actively supporting modding on TWC. Like calling for a Modding summit and etc...Like they saw in TWC like they're official fan base forums. Or am I dreaming?

I haven't seen a single Creative Assembly person post something in the 4 years I've been on the forums. I saw one or two online when Warhammer 2 came out, but they didn't say anything.

Creative Assembly is very active on Reddit, but completely avoid us, probably because we seem really antagonistic towards CA (perhaps due to threads like this).
The Omerta Code prevents me from saying more, but don't try contacting CA about this, leave it to one of the Hexes.
