Aside that we basically vote people in based on how we like'em not based on propositions or their stances in the matters that concern us. I think that lysi question were spot on.

Hex members haven't necessarily served on the CdeC. Of current Hex members in the era of an elected CdeC, Garb served a couple terms, pannonian served one term, and Astaroth is on his fourth or fifth term. The other six haven't been elected as a voting member of the CdeC in the past. That's not a good or a bad thing since Hex's role on the CdeC is not strictly defined.

Be certain to check Curia Vote -- a bunch of stuff is up for a revote due to down time. Do not assume you vote hase been counted. Check to see that you have voted.

Best of luck to the current CdeC applicants. Brunch & Lunch starts promptly on th 21st. Don't be late...

SPOONS!

**Viking Prince** · July 16, 2010, 10:35 PM

Well it will be a full slate of candidates. I suggest all citizens take part in the Curator as well as the CdeC contests. Ask questions. Read the debate threads. And most important -- VOTE!!

**M D** · July 16, 2010, 11:31 PM

No way I can gain any votes

VP, Jared, MCM, Squid...

Indeed, already 7 candidates and we haven't even heard from the incumbents! Bad news for applicants perhaps but good news for the Curia since we're bound to get 3 solid Councilors out of this.

Congrats and I agree about the new blood. He might have even gathered Harry's for that very reason. Makes me a bit of a hypocrit running for office though. Good thing the members winning a contested race have more of a mandate to act than appointed positions. At least that is what I will keep telling myself.

To Mega -- I hope you like a bit longer of a wait.

Re: Current CdeC & Curator debate threads: the intensity is definitely there. Who shall be standing when the smoke clears...

The election results are in.

The seats of abbews, the Black Prince, and Nikos are now the seats of Viking Prince, Sqυιd, and MCM. Is this change or more of the same. Tune in next week. Same Curial time and same Curial channel.

**karamazovmm** · July 26, 2010, 08:17 PM

All hail daddy! And MCM and The adorable Penguin!

**Empress Meg** · July 26, 2010, 08:22 PM

I'm rather excited to see MCM getting back into the TWC life. Should have some gold nuggets to share with the CdeC - I hope!

Devoirs The Empress

Well the next election cycle is starting up and those who received more votes will not be running. Of course there is the potential for an incumbant effect on the next election cycle. In any case, you cannot win if you do not enter.

**M D** · July 26, 2010, 09:55 PM

Yeah, well I'm special.. So I could be asked in without applying, so ha, I win the game

**Viking Prince** · July 27, 2010, 12:51 AM

To paraphrase Orwell -- some are more special than others.

**the Black Prince** · July 27, 2010, 06:56 AM

I wish the person who took my seat the best of luck for the next 3 months. I've held onto that seat for what feels like a very long time on the CdeC. Its time for someone else to give their views.

I'm sure within a week or so I'll have CdeC withdrawal symptons though...

**karamazovmm** · July 27, 2010, 07:23 AM

try to compensate those with the always great consumptions of other parts of the TWC, it is addictive as well, more than meph might I add, but you can sleep sometime, unlike meph
