    Default [Moved to vote] Proposal - Obi wan Asterix for Opifex

    Fellow citizens, I would like to take this opportunity to right what I see as a major injustice, one member of TWC has most definately not got what he deserves, I am talking, of course, of Asterix.

    The list of his contributions is huge, I can come up with the following, I'm sure there are more:

    Supporters - Muizer, Jubal_Barca, Ferrets54, jimkatalanos, Roman_Man#3, Publius, Garbarsardar, Arakorn-eir, gigagaia, Halie Satanus, Sapi - at least one of which is CdeC


    • Creation of Curial Councils - his original idea
    • Creation of the Consillium de Civitates
    • Development of the CdC's working mechanism
    • Key Member of the Knights of Saint John responsible for handing over the site to IMB39 last January
    • Original proposer of Opifex and Artifex awards
    • One of the longest serving staff members to date
    • Figure of stability and ethics during the crises of May 2005, December 2005, August-September 2006 and January 2007
    • Original RTR Team member together with Gaius Julius, as a strong supporting figure to his work
    • Active Team member of 3 mods
    • Contributing member to other mods - working with skinners for historical accuracy or responsible for historical texts and documents
    • Administrator responsible for maintenance of the front page and content forum for a year
    • Original supporter of the tribunal system
    • Countless amounts of other legislative input
    • Countless hours working on moder relations, including keeping EB on TWC and negotiation a return of RTR.
    • Countless hours, weeks and months of a two years of his life poured into moderation and administration of TWC before the development, which he assisted heavily, of all these efficient and comfortable systems
    • He served as a voice of sanity opposing rash reactions by admins and staff
    • He proposed several successful deifications and opifex nominations


    His TWC Resume (Just from Prothalamos):

    Creation of the Council of War/Council of Peace


    Proposal for a mod co-operative


    First proposal for the Heros Act

    Original Proposal for the Heros Act later to become Artifex/Opifex

    General Sun for Opifex

    Why am I posting this? Because I have watched while Asty remains anonymous in an environment he used to be a familiar face in. His actions have faded into the past and I think it is definately time for him to be honoured for his contribution to TWC as a whole.

    Long overdue. Thanks to Tactical for taking the trouble to assemble Asterix' palmarez. Opifex and/or Divus though. Opivus? Difex?

    I must admit, I thought long and hard about Divus but went for Opifex - very close decision though

    Could just put him up for both

    In the interests of neutrality, I am not saying much... Nothing at all, really.

    The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.


    The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.


    If you desire to be good, begin by believing that you are wicked.


    We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.


    οὕτως ἀταλαίπωρος τοῖς πολλοῖς ἡ ζήτησις τῆς ἀληθείας, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἑτοῖμα μᾶλλον τρέπονται.


    Questions are not necessarily there to be answered, but possibly there to inspire thinking.


    Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri, - quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes.


    If mind is common to us, then also the reason, whereby we are reasoning beings, is common. If this be so, then also the reason which enjoins what is to be done or left undone is common. If this be so, law also is common; if this be so, we are citizens; if this be so, we are partakers in one constitution; if this be so, the Universe is a kind of commonwealth.


    Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.


    There is no chaos in the world, only complexity.
    Knowledge of the complex is wisdom.
    From wisdom of the world comes wisdom of the self.
    Mastery of the self is mastery of the world. Loss of the self is the source of suffering.
    Suffering is a choice, and we can refuse it.
    It is in our power to create the world, or destroy it.

    You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.


    Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.


    The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.


    Ο Νούς νοεί τον εαυτόν του ως κράτιστος και η νόησή του είναι της νοήσεως νόησις.


    'Nothing is true, everything is permitted.' is merely an observation of the nature of reality. To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

    Who is this Asterix bugger!

    I oppose!

    A yes him.... stop this insanity!

    Take into account the following:

    • He merciless spammed the modding forums first, opening the famous RTR countdown thread where everyone had to post a number which broke the TWC record of 1300 posts or something like that
    • He then was promoted by Crandar himself to spam the living caboudles out of the Curia right when the place was falling apart
    • He later was drafted and became the primary spammer of the moderating forums.. posting a specific thread for every bit of nonsense that came into his head
    • His spamming aside - he has wrecked discord and propagated sectarian ideals in an otherwise unitary website
    • If you think he is polite you should see the nude women - I mean nipples! - that he has been spamming Ana with
    • He is a fanatical Argentine national working behind the scenes to hand over TWC to Kirchner as collateral for the loss of the Malvinas (Falklands)
    • You cant trust him - he spends time lurking in the barbarian taverna
    • He caused the RTR explosion by relentlessly campaigning behind the scenes against Nowonmai
    • He once almost got into a fistfight with simetrical over the palestine-israeli conflict - and they threw heavy insults at each other over violence and islam
    • He thinks Nihil is TWC's intellectual gem
    • He still addresses sib as "Generalismo"
    • None of the members he patronized know where the prothalmos is, with the exception of Trajan who preffers modding and Sidus "Frenchy Poo" Preclarum who spits in its general direction
    • He has not finished the last four faction descriptions he has had to do for Ran No Jidai in over 15 months and running!
    • He unleashed Garabarsadar on the site for his second coming! Convinced him to rise from the ashes of May 2005 and spread Greekness evenly on the embattled .net....
    • THere is more....

    Of course, qualifying someone as a goat is a compliment....if it comes from sheep!
