Phalera award - Phoebus

**Trax** · October 21, 2007, 03:12 PM

Phoebus is one of the best historians in Vestigia Vetustatis, his specialty is the ancient world. I have sent him a PM and he accepts this nomination.

Some examples:
Battle of Granicus
Legion vs Phalanx
Legion vs phalanx
Battle of Issus/hoplite vs phalangite
Size of Persian army during the invasion of Greece

Proposer - Trax
Supporters - jimkatalanos, Spartan JKM, Giorgos, Scorch (CdeC).

I support.

No brainer; I support. Phoebus is a terrific poster, not only possessed of superior erudition, but of advanced analytical and critical faculty. Not to mention class!

In support, but i am Greek so my words may not mean much in his case.

**Scorch** · October 22, 2007, 05:38 AM

I don't know if Trax counts for CdeC support as the proposer. If he doesn't, then I do.

Thanx, I was wondering the same thing

Support? Yes, yes indeed.

What the heck is a Phalera? xD

To qualify for a Phalera's award, the nominee must have made exceptional input or otherwise made significant contributions inside the CC sections of the boards. A member of any Rank is eligible to receive an Phalera award, but must also meet the criteria to become a Citizen. His nomination must also be seconded by an elected member of the Consilium de Civitate.

Qualifying nominees shall have their nomination posted in the Prothalamos and will be moved to vote as per the procedure in Section 2 Article 3. Once moved to they shall be voted upon for a period of one week and require a two-third majority of non-abstaining votes to achieve the award. If the nominee was not already a Citizen, this Rank shall also be conferred upon them if they pass. A nominee who fails to pass his vote is not eligible to re-nominated until three months have passed.

Just been rereading the Phalera Bill thread, and I found this old post of mine.
