    Default I nominate these 10 people for The Crest Medal!

    Cicero’s Crest This medal is awarded to any Citizen who has provided exceptional input into areas directly relating to the Curia. Any member who is nominated needs the support of three Citizens and must send an application to the CdC. The candidate will be awarded the medal is he achieves a 2/3 majority of non abstaining CdC votes.
    There is no doubt in my mind that the following deserve the medal and thus since I am confident you will all agree I will save some time and nominate them all in one thread.

    Ze Nominations are -

    Garbarsardar
    Profler
    the Black Prince
    Mimirswell
    Spiff
    Sulla
    Ozy
    Scottishranger
    Belisarius ( )
    WBK
    Tac
    Gig
    Kagemusha
    Simetrical
    Horsearcher
    Muizer
    Publius
    Asterix.
    Sib
    Boris
    Nick
    More to come after these mass awards I promise!

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

    See that last name on his list?

    Let me see, momentarily, please, if my recollections on merits are correct:

    Garbarsardar [Major contributions before my time?]
    Profler [Major contributions before my time?] Possibly Decim, though I can't remember for certain.
    the Black Prince - Wrote the present Constitution in its basic form. Decimvirate member. Longterm Curial activist.
    Mimirswell - Curator. Curial activist of few posts, many proposals, much substance.
    Spiff - Curator.
    imb39 - Bought the site. Originator of the current Constitution. Curator.
    Sulla [Major contributions to the Curia before my time?]
    Ozy - I won't touch this one, even with a bargepole!
    Scottishranger - Curator
    Belisarius - Curator.

    I would like to add Obi Wan Asterix to the list, as an ex-Speaker for the Curia and first to hold that role; and Fabolous too, as Curator and Decimvir.

    Its the distinguishing feature. Actually let's be more accurate. And I'll do the three new ones, too:

    Belisarius - Curator, Decimvirate.
    WBK - Concept-creator of many parts of the present Constitution [Other major contributions before my time?]
    Tacticalwithdrawal - Concept-creator of various major reforms in the past, including (for instance) electoral reforms.
    gigagaia - Not so sure about Curia-based actions here, to be honest; major extraCurial contributions especially with Content but not really much Curial.

    I still say OWA and Fab should be added.

    Any corrections or stuff you feel I've missed, feel free to add.

    To be wholly clear, I support the nominations of the following:
    the Black Prince; Mimirswell; Spiff; imb39; Scottishranger; Belisarius; Wild Bill Kelso.
    I further nominate:
    Obi Wan Asterix; Fabolous.

    The Curia is not the Constitution.

    Does making sure there is a Curia qualify, Ozy?

    It does, but that doesn't mean I can remember everyone who gets that qualification, especially as I wasn't even around for the foundation of the Curia. I might add that Constitution-writing is kind of intimately linked to the Curia founded around... the Constitution!

    Ozy, he has been consistently active in the Curia proposing/supporting/drafting bills, laid some of the groundwork for the current constitution, is the Speaker of the House and was on Dec (?)

    Does making sure there is a Curia qualify, Ozy?
    We could apply that to half the people in the Curia at the moment really.

    Whilst I am flattered, I would like to refuse the honour. All the work I did for the Curia was done without contemplation of any reward, as such.

    This surely applies to all of the nominees, since rewards were not extant at the time of the contributions...

    At sometime I patronized all these old bums:Necrobrit, Sulla, Scrappy Jenks, eldaran, Oldgamer, Ecthelion,Kagemusha, and adopted these bums: Battle Knight, Obi Wan Asterixand Muizer

    Oh, I accept that. This is a purely personal decision. It can only be applied to me and my own personal circumstances. I am flattered but am turning down the application.

    how on earth can you leave off Kazak borispavlovgrozny?

    what greater contribution can there be to the Curia than FOUNDING it?

    Archer! Don't forget Archer, if only out of spite!

    Sim added, it was more of a case people would complain if I added everyone at one go.

    I would like to add Publius, and Kagemusha to that list. I'm sure there are more, but these came to my mind first.

    Archer?

    The person who removed the Curia from view at the first opportunity to do so...
