[edit] Overview

The administrators of the Total War Center site and forums are collectively known as the Council or 'Hex' after their former name before the new Syntagma was introduced and they ceased to be known as the 'Hexagon Council'.

This Council is the main body which performs the day to day administering of the Total War Center and its forums. The Council presently comprises of 7 members who can be identified as wearing the following badge:

The current system of administration was introduced after imb39 bought the site and a new Syntagma was introduced. The old system which this is loosely based around was created after the Merger of the Old Hex and the Triumvirate caused by the after math of the Staff Reforms in October 2006. The internal working of the Council is for the most part determined by itself. Members are usually promoted from Junior moderators following an internal vote, although members may equally be promoted from outside of Staff at the Councils discretion as current events and requirements dictate.

Hexagon Council
The Total War Center is run by a group of Administrators and Senior Staff who form the "Hexagon Council". A decision of the Hexagon Council is the supreme authority on the site. Any member of the forum may be appointed to the Hexagon Council, although traditionally they are appointed from the current and ex-Staff by vote of the Council. Members of the Council are removed in the same way. On any matter where the Syntagma notes some particular responsibility or right of the Hexagon Council, any of its members may fulfil that responsibility or exercise that right, subject to internal Hexagon policies.

Members of the Hexagon Council have the power to veto the actions of all lower Staff members, and can veto any other action on TWC as per The Staff Veto section of the Syntagma.
Members of the Hexagon Council may hold varying degrees of administrator access, depending on the requirements of their duties.
The Hexagon Council has responsibility for the appointment and firing of all moderators and administrators.

[edit] Hexagon account

Before the May 2005 crisis, an administrative account named simply Hexagon was shared by Hex members to carry out various duties and to post on behalf of Hex as a whole. In that crisis, however, the account was used by Crandar to impersonate Spartan and carry out various bannings and modifications. After that was uncovered, the account was demoted to the rank of Civitates and has not been used since except for the occasional joke by an admin.
