Townhall - Curial Commentary and Chat

From Wikipedia:

A slush fund, also known as a black fund, is any fund or account maintained for corrupt or illegal purposes, especially in the political sphere.^[1] Such funds may be kept hidden and maintained separately from other funds that are used for legitimate purposes. They may be employed by government or corporate officials as part of efforts to discreetly pay influential people in return for preferential treatment, advance information (for example, to acquire non-public information in financial transactions) or some other service.^[2] The funds themselves may not be kept secret but the source of the funds or how they were acquired or for what purposes they are used may be hidden. Use of slush funds to influence government activities may be viewed as subversive of the democratic process.

You are stressing over light-hearted tongue-in-cheek comments.

My comment was to say that there's a price to pay when you ask for a service/favor to the man in charge. As mentioned above, it was just a tongue-in-cheek comment, nothing serious at all

I am not stressing pike
english is not my first language so when things like this happen I want to know what they mean
handy when it concerns acronyms so I understand them in the future or jokes like above so we can have fun together in the future

Hello everyone,

As some may have noted things are currently on a waiting list to get archived etc. I've been a little more busy than I thougth the last few days. As you guys perhaps may have read in the Curator's Report, Frunk will no longer be acting as my CA for my new term. Therefore I'm looking for someone willing to become a CA along with Lihft and myself as Curator of course. Let me know if your interested!

PS, I'm going to archive and look at the concluded novus vote ASAP!

Hello fellow Citizens,

When I was reelected in August, I promised to resign in the mid of my term in oder to seperate the two Censor elections again.
That day has come, so I resign as Censor.

**Lifthrasir** · October 05, 2017, 07:56 AM

Oh Mate, you're not fair, all this work for GB

Anyway, thanks for your work as Censor

**Commissar Caligula_** · October 05, 2017, 05:30 PM

Congrats on Novus Parafix!

**Lifthrasir** · October 05, 2017, 10:17 PM

Yes, Parafix has been awarded with a Novus for his contribution to the Gaming Staff. Congratulations

Also, following Quintus Hortensius Hortalus' resignation as Censor, a new application and debate threads for the Censor's position have been created.

So I was elected Magistrate I assume on the 27th September (poll opened on the 20th) but since then I've been absent from TWC and without any notice (IRL issues)... I think I need to be removed from office and a new election held.
