    As for moderation of the Curia, the idea of a certain leeway is based on the assumption that citizens behave so exemplarily that moderation is simply not necessary, not that they are exempt from it whatever they do. Since this "whatever we do" has proven to be beyond the confines of exemplary behaviour in certain instances I guess we must live with the fact that even us "shining role models" get to feel a hexagonal mace from time to time.

    I can heartily recommend the Italian Wars mod by Aneirin.

    Considering the Curia history, I do not believe that's the case.




    And I don't see any real need to bring in the fasces to the nowadays far more quiet and polite halls either, to be honest.

    FYI/ Reminder
    You do not need to type "voted" or "support" when indicating you had voted in a citizenship application thread. The poll is public at its conclusion, so we will *all* know how you voted!

    But it has other advantages [encouraging others to vote and spreading awarness across the forum that a vote is ongoing], so never mind to

    What ranges can see the names of the voters? I only see the result.

    Maybe, the candidate likes know who support him, or opinions of his candidature.


    EDIT: I rectify. A wise voice has explained to me how I can see the voters. (Click on the number of votes). Thanks!

    I do not think this is necessarily true. There have been wide disparity in the number of votes for simultaneous applications and semi simultaneous applications.

    In any case, my post wasn't meant to discourage anyone from posting "voted" messages, only to remind people that you do not need to do so to indicate your participation in the process.

    That's why I wrote "enourage", not "make" or "force" haha ^^

    Cheers, now you - being freed from serving successive terms - can run for Curator, if you so please! I really miss to read up on Citizen interviews and all the content you created

    Also, I'd like to call you Mr. Purple Turtle again

    It's not quite purple but nominate me for a large award and then you'd be able to call me Mr Kind-Of-Purple Turtle again.

    It'd be good to run again but don't think I'll have the time to do it properly.

    Hello there fellow citizens, I wish to inform everyone that the 2014 Modding Awards have now officially entered the final voting !

    Everyone is kindly invited to take part in the vote, for both the good of the site and of course to have the chance to express to the many great modders we have here and to their mods the recognition they deserve!

    There is no fun in that. Some action from time to time is a necessity for the curia to survive.
