Perhaps my initial wording was poor. I'm not arguing that admins are not staff, and neither was Flinn. But arguing that admins=staff and staff have Novus is still ignoring the finer details of Novus,...

There really doesn't need to be an argument over this issue, the semantics are both important and somewhat unimportant here.

Yes, Novus is for any and all staff. Admins are a part of that for...

I think it had some merit, or was thought to have had enough merit, way back when the site was still quite small and in terms of active membership was much more closely knit. Admins more likely to...

It appears there is another shiny thing under my avatar that I have to thank the Curia for (Thrax for posting it and everyone [except Flinn, naturally...] for contributing).





...ahh I...

My second one was hardly anything. Sore arm and nothing more really. First one was a bit worse but not by much. I've had the rare reaction however.

Since I'm just doing the stabbing part, by the...

I've had my direct supervisor do it a few times. Despite most places having the ability to at least do some work from home, people still use it as the sick day excuse. The amount of people using it...

Side effects are a reason not to. But hardly anything I could ever call a valid reason. Valid reasons not to exist for a minute number of people.

Broadly speaking, side effects are pretty minimal...

Well, that could be a discussion to have. :P I already planned probably doing a blog for my seriously :wub:ed covid adventures, not that I like blogs really but I think it's the best format for it...

Well I don't want to get too into the vaccine(s) in a curial thread about it, but suffice to say...please just get vaccinated. :P I know there is skepticism and it feels like somewhat of a risk, but...

That's the kind of discussion we're going to invite? I mean I can do that.

You're OP is weak. Prove me wrong.




I think you're on to something, I should do that more often, that's much...

And why should anonymity matter? You confront your accuser in IRL court because that's potentially got some serious consequences for one person or the other, usually both. But we're an internet...

It seems my age old TWC curse of being absent has indeed caused something crazy to occur in my absence again. So should I take seat for the moment ooorrrr....?

I'll actually have a good number of stories to put down in writing here at some point, but while I am done with one major part of dealing with COVID, there is still no rest for the wicked. Now I'm...

COVID has certainly made my year quite interesting. As I am sure it has for most people in one way or another. Mine just involved a lot more booger picking, needles and gas masks than most.

Should be fixed now.

I'll drop a casual reminder here that I got General Brewster's application through with a mere 2 words.






...so in essence I did nothing, and he passed entirely on his own merits. Food for...

Well you might have to do more than skimming to really get it all unfortunately, I recommend getting some hot cocoa and sitting down for that read. :P

But for something a little more brief: I...

It may be a lot of reading, but that makes it the long answer to your questions I think Frunk. See this amendment and relevant discussion.

If that's too much, or doesn't answer it...let me know...

Curia Report - Term 2
May 1st 2019 to April 6th 2020


Consul's Commentary
Hello all,

How you all managed to elect me two more times for a total term lasting a year as consul, I have no idea....

It never ended.

Dismissed & archived publicly at request.

They are, however a regular report with the low activity of late would be quite small, and while I am all for things that remind me of hobbits, it feels better to have a substantial enough report to...

FYI, I am redoing the Consul application thread and process. Seeing as this would have been the intended start date anyways, no time is lost realistically.

I am also invalidating the vote for...

Passed, welcome to the ranks of citizens!

I think (hope) I have made my way through most things here. In light of everything, I may actually need to restart the consul election, as well as stop and redo the award thingy for that weird...

I will post this here and in the VonC thread.

-------------


Let's get down to business then.


I did indeed ask that, in case I was unable to do so on time, the Consul election threads...

Oh dear why does all the stuff have to happen at the end of a year long consulship? :P

I'll slowly begin working my way through things.

So as far as my short (?) absence goes:

Surely...

Congrats Coronaviru- I mean, Commodus!

Evidently I am being forced to make some sort of preliminary speech here, and seeing that this is a scheme Flinn has a part in that means it is undoubtedly an attempt to assassinate me and begin his...

Poll added

Congrats crazyroman!

Suppose it didn't refresh after updating poll options numbers, fixed now.

Poll is up

I have no idea why they closed, I hadn't even opened the debate thread since posting it so I don't know what happened. Explains some of the delay of people applying...though at the same time I would...

Somehow passed with nothing but yes votes...how does that work I wonder?

Welcome to the club, we're out of punch and pie.

Poll added

Should I highlight that this essentially describes my entire career as a citizen here?

Dubious...

...poll added.

Another election, hooray...?

Thanks to Van Zandt for wrapping it up for me (despite still misspelling my username :P), over the weekend I lost internet and will probably be without for a while as...

Congrats to Chesser ;)
