    Being a Citizen for nearly a year and I've yet to hold any office here. Thought this would be my chance, but there are loads of applicants. Jom, St. Nicholas and Megas, don't hold your breath for a place, not until I get a seat first .

    Two of the three incumbents aren't re-applying this time around though, so we will either get new blood or that lazy old codger Trax.

    There is plenty of room for the aspiring to make it. Of course in three months when it is time to through the bums out...

    As it is, I am leaving for a spell. More than one has noted my cranky behavior. It is time for a rest.

    TWC Members and Citizens are made of sterner stuff. You wonna make a splash, here's a golden gift....

    Flush little know nothing, got lucky Mega down the pipes. TotW challenge/Duel sub-forum. Make your move.... Call it...

    + new citizen viability assessment.

    There are many creative ways to garner curial support and focus. For example those that invested in the last CdeC vote who did not make it. Yes they were disappointed but hopefully they understood that their initial exposure to CdeC events was indeed noticed and a foundation for future CdeC and Curial victories was laid. Yes admittedly there is popularity element involved in ALL political arenas. Not just the one which is center stage here.

    My recommendation to all CdeC and Curial candidates is to initially embrace site exposure and then narrow the spectrum to one's particular area of focus.

    You are a moderator, though. That's something, at least.

    You're freshly hatched, are you not? What's the rush? From what I gather you earned you're stripes in the D&D, definitely not a place for the faint hearted. The key to progression is abiding to your passions, and knowing that the opportunities will come. In many instances, one is a victim of the "Hey you" phenomena. One day you sign on and there's a message that say's "Hey you", go here and get to work...

    Blind faith in yourself and others....ftw...

    Well I wasn't saying it in a sort of jealous fashion, just saying that holding the position of moderator is an accolade in itself, although a Curial position is always nice too I'm sure.

    Naughty, naughty! (though those young men do look rather buff)

    The truth is that I am not running to retain my position because the CdeC dining room needs a new chef and the entire club facilities need a large redecoration.

    The important thing is for all to cast your votes. This is a great pool of candidates, but only three will be seated.

    Congratulations to Elzabar and Leonidas for attaining seats in this election, second or third or fourth or whateverth time seems to be the charm!

    I'd also like to thank those who voted for me for their confidence in my service, which I hope I can reciprocate for one more term.

    Gracious in victory I see, AL, although we should also extend our congratulations to Trax who, as the 4th place candidate, will be taking up the seat vacated by Heinz following his resignation.

    Congratulations to everyone!

    I was not aware that the replace would come from an election already in progress? Where was that announced? I missed it.
