Why I want to be a Citizen?
My main goals in becoming a Citizen are to have a say in the Curia affairs, in both voting and discussing important affairs, amendments, etc…. and also be able to discuss with other citizens in the privileged space of the Symposium, where I believe there is a more mature discussion going on than the average Thema Devia thread. One of my intentions is also to set an example for other forum members through clear ideas and posting, by using my skills correctly and always adding a good idea wherever it is needed. Thus, they can too follow this path and become Citizens themselves, enriching the Total War Center forums. That, and to be proud of being part of the prestigious Total War Citizen community.
Why do I deem myself worthy?
I am worthy, because in all my posts, I attempted to state my ideals in a clear and objective way. I always consider whatever I’m inside the forum rules and how can I improve my ideas before hitting the “Post” button, and in all my posts I never take discussions to a personal degree. Rather, I follow the forum guidelines of discussing ideas, and I’ve never insulted or flamed anyone personally.
I always try to be firm with my post content, but I’ve never advocated hate towards any particular group or race. I’ve never forced anyone to adopt my ideas, rather keeping them to myself and discussing them, but never imposing them. Rather, I try to explain their convenience through discussions on their nature and essence, and I try to avoid any kind of irrational bias most of the times. My main interest has been posting in the Ethos, Mores and Monastica forums, where I’ve always made valid points and expressed my opinions in a constructive manner, following forum rules.
I don’t care much for my postcount, and I try to keep my information condensed in few posts. I try to post only when I have a clear idea to add, no matter how objective I try to seem. As short as my posts might seem, most of them added valid points to the discussion.
No infractions have been accrued.Stumbling across Marcus Tullius Cicero as I was patrolling the forums, I noticed that he was someone who was worth a look. I was first struck by the range of areas that he posted in. He is one of those who posts regularly in both the Common Community and Total War Community sections. He has shown a developed interest in a range of subjects.
He is someone who posts very politely and has proved he is capable of posting both quick one liners but there are examples of developed posting too. Like everyone, he mixes his style.
Examples where he posts in a developed style can be found here. In fact this is where a good discussion develops and you see MTC make some good points and quote (perhaps over quotes) but he is not passing others people's ideas as his own. Of course, I do not necessarily agree with everything he states.
Here is another good post, he quotes from a classical source too! His contribution compares very favourably to other Citizens in that particular thread...
As for initiating threads, he confines himself largely, if not exclusively, to the Total War side of things. They are definitely helpful within the context of forums they are created in. This can be seen here, here and here.
A variety of posts in many areas of TWC.
