    We did actually vote on people. But otherwise that's pretty much it. But I see nothing wrong with. We had people of judgement in staff, which lead to quality citizenship.
    The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.

    The poll poses a different question, which is why I am posting again. I would say that at the time I was patronized, I was active exclusively in the TW and its modding community. That was almost 2 years ago, and since my comeback, I would say that I have no strong ties to either side of the community. I post in the Curia, the Q&S, sometimes in the ETW Forum, and that's it. I hope I will make a comeback to modding though, after i have finished some coursed in the TWC University.

    I didn't think it was wrong. It was a different site anyway at that time and consistent and mature posters (respective to their peers) deserved to be made citizens. It was also somewhat easier to remove citizens that proved themselves inadequate, which helped make a looser entry more plausible.

    I come from the TW community (modding).

    Although I do post in the Q&A some and the mudpit (althoug its been a while), but most of my time is spent on the modding boards.

    Well it was for my amazingness obviously!

    Jk.... what amazingness?

    Any way, its due to my want to go somewhere with TWC forums.

    I used to be a frequent member of Total War Heaven, but really, you couldn't go anywhere. Most, and I emphasize MOST of the members their were jerks, etc. and I couldn't stand it. In order to be a mod, you have to be specially picked, which wasn't going to happen, and basically I did not get along with the people their. Too many... lets say dominating personalities. When I cam here, originally as a researcher for the Frontier, my goal was to become a Citizen. Since I am one now, I guess its time to set a new goal.

    Perhaps Admin?

    It means:

    Were you patronized for your contributions in the common community (Discussion and Debate forums original name) or for your contributions in the TW community? Both?

    I was patronised mostly for my attepts and historical advises in the moding comnunity...
    TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
    Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
    read this to avoid misunderstandings.

    IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.

    Well if you consider the TW games forums (ie the Empire TW threads and the M2TW threads) as part of the 'TW Community', then arguing with Trax in there.

    Sorry, but that's exactly one good example why i always had (and have) suspicious views on the patron-system.

    Still more worse is the reputation-system, works pretty much like ~= "Rep me and i'll rep you"

    I don't know really why I was offered beyond good posts. No detail given, I didn't complain.

    i used to rep the CdeC members for no reason and made sure i left my name with the rep. then i'd post in a thread where a consensus had already been reached and try to make out i'm bringing original ideas into it. then i'd kiss more CdeC ass during down time.

    Can an admin delete the third poll option "Technical Community", please? I doubt anyone would vote for that, and it looks silly in the list.

    Well having the badges doesn't mean I have contributed loads.
    I mean I don't know why I got best political poster, and most certainly don't know how I cam above some of the guys in that debater category.

    Come to think of it, i kinda hate you.
    My dad does hate me.

    Once I was lost, and my people were overcome with wickedness and folly. One starry night, a bright light did appear in the Heavens, and spoke to us with the transcendent wisdom that only the celestial seraphim that mortal men name Nihil, and others in their tongue (yet no less untrue) name angel, can put forth. Raising us up, he did chastise us for our wickedness, yet brought a message of hope and salvation; 'Thou shalt become a Citizen, as it is about time, and in several days hence, thou will be saved'. The cry of joy went up from the people 'And verily, I doth recommend thy read the ToS, our most sacred scripture, lest you fall once again to ungodliness and vice'. And there was much rejoicing.

    At least that's my recollection.
    'When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything. '

    -Emile Cammaerts' book The Laughing Prophets (1937)

    Under the patronage of Nihil. So there.

    I believe I asked someone if they were the grammar police after they corrected someone's slight mistake in punctuation, and omnipotent Q asked if I wanted to be one.

    In other words I was a smartass and another smartass patronised me for it.

    Debate Forum.
    The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...

    Under the perspicacious and benevolent patronage of the great and honorable Rez and a member of S.I.N


    He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

    Sure I didn't patronize you for your good looks and Irish charm?
