    Default The Syntagma for beginners

    I enjoy the New Syntagma, the wording is easy to understand, the ranks and duties of the Curia & staff is clearly defined in a matter befitting of all people. I know that once it is completely put into use, atleast 10 bills shall come in, radically changing wording and making it a taxing duty for some of us to read it.
    I just ask of the reformers, that when they do edit it, please keep it simple... for the simple people....

    TWC BIG TEXT WE SHOULD FOLLOW



    The TWC Big text we should follow defines the role of people with badges within the Total War Center Community. All people with badges are expected to adhere to the rules of the TWC Big text we should follow and other smaller texts with the exception of Archer and two other guys, (which you will know who they are by a 10 minute delay until someone posts after them) neither of which are bound by this Document. People with badges are also expected to enforce the rules of the TWC Big text we should follow and other smaller texts at all times. It is applied in addition to (another text you will find when you get a warning) which is supreme.

    The TWC Big text we should follow can be suspended by Archer or two other guys, (which you will know who they are by a 10 minute delay until someone posts after them). Eventually you will find out why.

    People who can warn/suspend/put your posting in danger and do the cleaning around here

    These are the people who can warn/suspend/put your posting in danger and do the cleaning around here. All people who can warn/suspend/put your posting in danger and do the cleaning around here can be identified by their names being bold and colored according to rank with the exception of you don't need to know really.

    Network Administrators & TWC Owners

    They own the place. 'nough said.


    Text in bold and underlined to mark a separation between the previous guys and the next guys

    Archer

    He rules in the name of the Capi




    The Consiglieri
    ..and he has two minions



    Small fish
    ...who have another 4 minions


    Extremely small fish
    ...who control a number of sardines. YOU CAN VOTE FOR THE SARDINES.


    * Syntagma Pro-Curator - elected by the Curia to manage day-to-day duties in the Curia with moderation powers in the Curia and all its sub-forums.
    * Members appointed to handle some basic site responsibilities such as News writers, picture of the day, TWC daily news and so on. These people fall directly under the responsibility of staff and can be appointed and dropped according to the needs of the site.
    * Content Staff - Members can be appointed to provide the community with content such as reviews, guides, walkthroughs and any other information which is of benefit to the community.
    Those people do some work, actually. It is in a "need to know" basis and you don't need to know


    Member Rights and Ranks

    You have rights. Some have more rights than others.

    The place people are talking out of their...
    It's the local RPG forum. Need a badge. Play politics. Read the Prince by Machiavelli (Big text) or watch the West Wing (boring).

    Elections

    From time to time there is a poll. Vote. Except if your name is in it and it says Ostrakon. Ostrakon means you're probably forced to involuntary intercourse and then taken to the parking lot and whacked. Take it like a man.

    ACTS OF LAW

    You're joking right?
    Stay away from this stuff.
    Fugggedaboutit.

    By the time you have read this, the whole thing has probably changed. If not, it's just a glitch in the matrix...

    Change the topic title to "Syntagma for Dummies" and it will be perfect.

    It's funny, I understand the original wording of the Syntagma perfectly fine, but I don't understand a thing in this new "for Dummies" version. What gives?

    Also, did it just call the Quaestors "extremely small fish"? And who are the "sardines"?

    And why am I even typing a reply to this thread?

    Let me re-phrase: Who are the sardines in TWC? And the answer better not be "Quaestors".

    Why am I still replying?

    That makes it more confusing for the people who don't understand the Syntagma...

    Now thats the type of guide I was talking about, a useless piece of satire.
    (Which come to think about it is much like the real syntagma...)

    I like the Ostrakon part of it the best, however all of it is pretty good. I'd give you rep, Garb, but I don't think you'll notice :wink:.

    We are not Small fish Garb, we are medium Fish.

    Well, if I, Belisarius, the Black Prince, and you all agree on something, I really don't think there can be any further discussion.

    No, Mithras and Besim are Whales.

    Archer is some sort of Shark. "Great White" or perhaps a "Hammer-Head".
