    I agree. Lets all find a role that fits into this. Although Farnan's could with a little tweaking.

    Asterix will support Crandar and be sorry that Sel and Sim and Lusted have left... but that he just wants stability and peace on the forum

    I agree Asterix...
    We need someone who will switch side at the given moment, that is someone who will immediatly chose side with Crandar instead of saying how much they hate him....

    edit: this has probably been suggested already..

    Okay, is Crandar posting at 3pm European time on Friday or Saturday?

    If it's the Friday, I'll post the Helios before I log off today.

    Regarding the mini-pranks, I'm still a bit undecided. If we do things that are rather obvious people will be reminded about the whole April Fools thing. I think we should keep the element of surprise because many people often forget about April Fools and that's a good thing in this case.

    If we suddenly have too many unrelated things happening such as me agreeing with Ummon, or Farnan arguing against someone else, we might give things away.

    Let's just focus on this one thing, although we could make some related and connected mini-pranks work.

    So i can go a bit mad and start flaming? But i think i should also try and rally support against Crandar, so he can close the thread and annoy everyone.

    I could start flaming people (no serious profanities of course) for attempting to ostrakon me. That's fairly believable...I must say... :ninja

    Vote for your Crandar in the other thread:

    I have two laptops online so I can be on simultaneously

    My final compilation of proposal points:

    1) Crandar was on US time - so that means the elected Crandar will come on about 3 pm European time on Friday and make a first post
    2) By then Sim has already resigned and possibly Sel also
    3) Crandar thanks Archer and Justinian for inviting him back to replace the departed consuls, takes a pot shot a the "people that betrayed me and soiled my good and hard earned name"
    4) Crandar starts moderating and is awarded a temporary Praetorship by Archer
    4b) Posts a thread in the Consillium Publicum - ideas on how to clean up TWC
    5) Crandar closes the Babes thread and the Posts a Learning Disabilities thread in the Ethos and Mores
    6) Let it run a bit
    7) Crandar replies to the confusion and assures that he has only good intentions for TWC, to make it the most learned and scholarly forum on the web
    8) More discussion
    9) Lusted resigns
    10) Crandar posts a list of 11 or so members to be Ostrakoned (will update a list of members who should be able to take the joke.... but it definitelly should include H&G, Lucius Vorenus, Squeakus Maximus, Omnipotent Q, Kanaric, Solid, Rzzza, Seleukos)
    11) Archer and Justinian all the time continue support and moderation help closing opposition threads etc.
    12) Around midnight US time
    13) Crandar posts an annoucement that the forums will be changing drastically on Sunday and Archer supports


    Rules:

    1) Crandar leaves threads of supporters while editing and closing opposition
    2) No staff members should break the silence unless things get out of hand really
    3) On Sunday morning - european time we open a thread called Gotcha in the Curia! And we all post our joking recantations
    4) Except for Sel and Sim and Lusted, the rest of staff support Crandar

    Yes but the key is not to over-do it

    The less you do the more believable it will be


    And finally thanks to Mim:
    Quote Originally Posted by Crandar (Asterix and Mim)

Here are a list of 'Civitates' that have been "found to be acting in opposition to the rules of the forum and Curia, or is otherwise neglecting his duties or carrying about in disorderly and immature manner unbefitting their position":

    RZZZA: Spams too much and has warnings.
    Solid: He was culled previously and has done nothing to show himself any worthier.
    Lucius Vorenus: If his undignified exemplification of low moral values wasn't enough, he certainly qualifies for the frivalous use of his Ostrakon privledge.
    Squeakus Maximus: 11,000 posts too many; this one is long overdue.
    Honor&Glory: How did he even become a UL with warnings and spam, I serious question some of the previous administration's IQ.
    Kanaric: Three warnings and he's still here...
    Seleukos:His resignation was a bitter attempt to poison the improvement of this forum and he doesn't deserve the Civitates badge much less the Senatorii.

    Should anyone doubt these claims, just look at the last 50 posts of all of these individuals and ask yourself if they even deserve to be on this board.

    Ill start off by arguing in the Curia about the appointment when it is announced, voicing my fears but not giving away too much until i do actually resign.

    Just remembered i mention the ostrakon in my resignation, so i have to resign before the ostrakon, but Crandar could still ostrakon me as a "traitor" as i would still be a civ.

    I will make a post that says why I think Crandar is what TWC needs atm, he has had previous mod exp and also he is used to dealing with staff policy etc...
    I will make it as believable as I can, in fact i can start writing it down now and then post it when the opportunity arrises it needs to be flawless and beleivable after all...

    Good point.

    I also like how I am used as an insult to the intelligence of the administration. Man, I just feel so fuzzy and happy inside right now.

    I agree with Asterix's plan of action. Let's follow that. You can always improvise when the time comes - if this were really happening, that's what you'd do - but make sure not to speak up until it's suitable.

    On Sunday I'll post in the Curia. They'll be so ****** off that they've been had. :wicked
