Townhall - Curial Commentary and Chat

[General Brewster]

You might be one of the best things to have happened to this site in a while.

[King Athelstan]

Then where's my rep and awards and Hex membership to show for it

Kidding, I'm doing this all in good fun to procastrinate my uni paper
And thanks, I appreciate it

[General Brewster]

Children who ask are not rewarded

[King Athelstan]

Who said anything about asking?
As soon as I'm HEX I'll oust Hader and become the new Curia-tired big boss

[Akar]

Nicely done, Athelstan.

once again, stay in the queue lad, Hader's blood is mine

[Flinn]

I've been absent for 15 months, but now I'm back!

[Akar]

Supported. Very well deserved.

I'll have it second-hand then after you're overthrown as well.

[Flinn]

sounds reasonable

[Akar]

Second hand blood sounds....healthy.

[King Athelstan]

I mean I'm sure it is

[Turkafinwë]

Just don't question it and everything will be fine. How can it ever go wrong then.

[King Athelstan]

Seems like the most reasonable course of action

[Flinn]

I'd expected it to be the Novus but he deserves this one too so support.

I'm not really sure why this isn't novus, but I can support it.

He deserves this medal, and as you say he deserves Novus too. New thread next week?

As mishkin hinted, one large award does not necessarily exclude another one. As for any award, it's up to the proposer to decide for what award the applicant should be put forward, or even better said, which award is more prominent in the history of said member at the moment; in this specific case, I personally find Abdul's contributions as a debater and regular of the D&D to be prominent, at the present state, over any other activity he carried out on the site, hence this Phalera.

ps I mentioned about his Member awards as a moderator because it's really rare to be able to be both a good debater and a respected moderator (because of the opposing roles) and so this really gives a better idea about the quality of his posts (IIRC the only other similar case is Iskar).

[Gigantus]

The criteria for Novus are completely different for those of Phalera (correct me if I am wrong) and hence cannot be 'processed' at the same time, and the awards certainly do not exclude each other. Do we actually have awards that exclude each other?
The comments however are understandable as both require outstanding contribution (in their particular field) over a longer period, a criteria which I personally consider fulfilled in both cases.

[Akar]

I think we should start taking awards from people. Keep them on their toes and what not.


Let's start with Gigantus.

[Flinn]

Let's start with Gigantus.

adios, myboy

one does not simply attack the Gigantus..

[King Athelstan]

I mean, starting with him means we won't be done until TWC's server dies

[Akar]

it's prison rules, flinn.

you walk in and attack the guy with the most awards
