Curia Report - Term 1 2018
20 December 2017 to March 20 2018

Curator's Commentary

Hello everyone,

A turbulent time, that's what we can call this period. Hotseat drama spilled into the curia, heavy discussions took place and people crossed the line which meant many interventions from my part. What this term saw mostly was an incredible influx of referrals which no doubt y'all will have seen below this. In this spirit I would ask everyone to take a good look at themselves. Is what you are posting below the standard? Seeking the edges in a debate is nothing more than normal but insulting people to get to your point should never be the standard. Take a good look at how your post could be interpreted and lets just all try and be civil towards each other. You don't have to be friends but needless insulting should be avoided at all costs.

During this period we saw activity spike again which I am happy to deduce. A good deal of proposals, citizenship application and awards! I may add that many of those awards were heard earned and I'm happy to have been able to send the pm's so they could be pinned on. Well deserved lads.

As you all can see, Frunk was added as CA. This had to do with both Bolton and Lifthrasir recusing themselves during the spill of Hotseat drama and the following referrals. I was too occupied to handle everything solo and thus Frunk was added to the list. Also because I'm incredibly inept with editing the constitution and Frunk's a wizard when it comes to that. Beyond that Frunk offers a good chunk of advice to me in situations that are often un-explored.

Furthermore I'd like to thank hex, especially in the form of Tango for always offering me a hand. Especially during all the HS stuff. Without him I wouldn't have known what to do half the time. Lifth, Frunk & Bolton, also a huge shout out towards you lads. Always keeping the ship running when I'm off for work and taking time for my son.

Cheers,
General Brewster

Curia Report - Term 2 2018
March 20th 2018 to June 20th 2018

Curator's Commentary

Hello everyone,

It was an active period. A lot of decisions, amendments, awards and citizen application were processed in what may very well have been my busiest term as Curator. Sadly I'll have to announce that this period there were also a decent amount of referrals again. The most hgi profile case being that of SoulGamesInc which we all know was yet again a follow through from the Hotseat drama that had spilled into the Curia. It's sad to deduce that my time in office, which in June marked a full year in office has been defined by Hotseat drama that had no place in the Curia. During my time here a lot of referrals happened and while I am a staunch believer in the higher standard for citizen I also like to believe that citizen know what their limits should be. The sheer amount of referrals disappoints me because I think so much of this community and I hope that we can all strive towards better conduct and setting the right example for prospective citizens.

I would like to take a moment here to thank my CA's once more. This period I had to say goodbye to my much valued and sexy Assistant known to y'all as Lifthrasir. There are not enough superlatives in this world to explain how much of a help Lifth has been to me in all this time. He surprised me with his resignation but who can refuse a man who has given so much of himself to the cause? Via this way I thank him once more and wish him the best.

Having Lifthrasir leaving us meant that Bolton and I had to devote more time. It didn't take that long for us to realize that we were both pressed for time and such I brought on Pontifex Maximus. Ponti and I go way back on the forums and it turned out to be a good fit. He helped where it was needed and it made sure that both Bolton and I weren't only on TWC to do chores. Last but not by any means least, Bolton. Bolton has been a thriving force in my Curial team for the past 8 months now I believe. Bolton makes it all possible, he truly strives to be the best CA around and often does things I was meaning to do but he does it faster. Thanks mate, couldn't have kept it all going without you!

Carry on citizens.

Cheers,
General Brewster

Curia Report - Term 1 2019
August 14th 2018 to May 1st 2019

Curator's Commentary

Hello all,

It's been some time since the last report, so let's play some catch up shall we?

It wasn't necessarily the most active period in the Curia's history, indeed even most recent history, but we still saw a good bit going on, chief among them the sweeping changes from the overhaul bill that was introduced and implemented. Most will have noticed by now how that has shuffled forums a bit, moved and opened the Prothalamos, and given us a new Curial Officer position of Praefect. Regardless of anyone's individual views on the changes, so far things have gone off without much issue, with our previous Consul StealthFox also implementing some cleanup on the bill to help polish things off and hopefully set us on a fairly clear path forward.

I'll apologize for some delays in some things, namely elections, a couple due to bad timing with site downtime and a few because my schedule for work is still unfortunately just a bit random (though thankfully a little more solidified now). StealthFox and Elfdude have graciously agreed to stay on the team as Censors, which has them essentially as Consul's Assistants (for those unaware of that other change from the overhaul!).

On a personal note from myself, it is no secret that for a good chunk of the past I have been particularly salty towards most things Curia related, however given my hand in really pushing the overhaul proposal forward and seeing that through, I felt it was a good follow up to also go for Consul afterwards. Not just for shiggles, but perhaps I can show a new hand in the Hexagon Council's role in the Curia beyond that of just honorary members of all parts of it able to veto anything just because, and really assist in driving the Curia forward in a positive way; a positive collaboration of administration and the Curia. I don't expect that even if I do half a decent job at that, that we should see too much substantial change in my current term as Consul, but the hope is to setup that road regardless.

So, let us all regain our collective Curial footing and charge forward into the future Curia and TWC!

Regards,

Hader

Curia Report - Term 2
May 1st 2019 to April 6th 2020

Consul's Commentary

Hello all,

How you all managed to elect me two more times for a total term lasting a year as consul, I have no idea. I didn't bribe anyone this time so it actually baffles me.

We find ourselves in quite the strange time indeed, with all the drama having to play out so near the end of my term, is Hader actually worse than Stalin as his previous Mount&Blade clan so believed, or is it all because of COVID-19? We may never know.

We come into 2020 for TWC on the downslope of activity overall for the site, but most especially felt in the Curia, which has seen very little in all aspect of life happen. In fact, 2019 saw not a single citizen referral brought forward, certainly making the Praefects job seem a bit too cushy. But we still have a good number of new citizens, when you consider overall site activity, so all is not that dead. Coming on the heels of the totally not a big deal Curial Overhaul Order 66, what we make of the Curia pushing forward even a year out from that is still just up to us all, as it always has been. Contrary to what Halie may have pointed out, there are no lifeboats, and I did not design them, but I may or may not have had a hand in the iceberg. Still no word from the crow's nest.

On the soon to be retired Consul's personal note, most reading this probably are pretty aware of the pandemic of COVID sweeping over us right now. It surely is going to affect everyone in some way, some more than others, and I'm hoping everyone is able to make it through such tough times with minimal issue. For myself, being both a civilian medical provider and medic in the military (and even more specifically, the National Guard), I have and will continue to find myself on the supposed front lines of the pandemic for quite a while now. I suppose it is a good thing I did not intend to run for another term here and it is ending now, because I find it unlikely I will have the time or even access to be here much in the near future! As someone that has been in the medical field as an instructor for some time as well, I actually garnered a strange interest in epidemiology and have done quite a bit of education of that tied into emergency medicine. I'm sure people in the past couple years looked at me weird for the emphasis on the Spanish Flu Pandemic, but are probably a little grateful for that training at least these days. Small miracles.

I'll cut it short here then as we welcome in our new consul, King Athelstan, whom is totally not on Flinn's payroll to assassinate me and usurp the house and Curia as dictator.

Curia Report - Term 1
April 6th 2020 to September 1st 2020

Consul's Commentary

Salve, Citizens!

I'll cut it short here then as we welcome in our new consul, King Athelstan, whom is totally not on Flinn's payroll to assassinate me and usurp the house and Curia as dictator.

Well well, it seems Hader has become not just a retired Consul, but a retired administrator. Coincidence? I am by law (or by Flinn) required to answer no. Anyways, this first term has been a doozy for me, and there has been a fair amount of action throughout! I served as assistant for a spell under Aikinar until Order 66 struck, so I thought I'd be well prepared to tackle any oncoming challenge like a pro. However, I'm very glad to have had both my pa Brew and son Akar to guide me/do my dirty work, so I'm very grateful to the both of them. I'm also glad to see Brew continue on through the second term, though Akar takes a well-deserved rest after a teeth-clenchingly close election run. The apprentice hasn't surpassed the master, yet. (Though I am short of a Censor, if we have any volunteers?

So where Haders last term in office was one of peace, this has been one of action. There has been multiple proposals, referrals, dramas and Voncs, oh how I love a good Vonc(Not on me though, I'm warning you). After all, what would the Curia be without a bit of action to rob the officers of their sleep? When push comes to shove though I'm just glad we've mostly kept sort of inbetween level-and-a-bit-under headed and kept things running fairly smoothish, though an overwhelming majority of proposals have ended in abandonment.
And while there has been some lull in activity there have been a fair influx of new citizens, many thanks to a well-orchestrated drive by a certain house, with more surely to come. The other houses can't let themselves be beat by the House of Hader, eh?, so go patronize! (The nice patronizing, not being impromptly rude to someone).

And to not keep this introduction going forever, I'll be fairly brief on the last bit - There is a lot of stuff going on in the world now, Covid is still going strong and doesn't look to still as a threat for a good while yet, which impacts us all, whether through work, social life or health. Thus, I'd like to issue a reminder that Real Life always takes priority. In the grand scheme of things Total War Center is "just" an online forum - Prioritize yourself first if you need a break, then come back. We'll be around

It certainly looks like the beginning of my second term will be just as, if not even more fraught with action than my first, so I wish myself luck and all the best for you.

PS: if any of you curious people out there clicked on this as the article version, whether you're a registered forum member or not - get involved with TWC, whether it's wanting to become a citizen, take up a staff position or just make an account and post a nice comment on someones mod thread, it makes a difference.

Curia Report - Term 2
September 1st 2020 to January 5th 2021

Consul's Commentary

Happy New Year, Citizens!
This term marks quite the change of pace from the former, and has seen a marked decline in activity, though I am fairly sure that there's a fair few things happening in the world that stand as an explanation. The pandemic continues to hit us all, but there is hope on the horizon as several vaccines have rolled out and mass vaccinations have started. However, that doesn't mean all is quiet on the western front. Despite only 1 bills passing this term it was quite drastic in effect. Removing Citizen referrals in its entirety, leaving Ostrakon as the only way for a Citizen to be voted out of Citizenship also had the effect of abolishing the Praefect system, as it was no longer needed. This marked a change where moderation powers were returned in full to the Consul, who now rules the Curia with an iron fist, ushering it into an age of peace and prosperity. Or at least peace, as referrals being misused and deemed petty has been a problem for more terms than not.

The elections also saw a period of peace - As only the Consulship and Magistrate positions are electable, and none resigned or lost their position during this term we only saw three elections, all ending fruitfully. There was also a few Citizen applications, mostly because of Flinn, and all coming through belonging to the House of Hader - looks like the others have some catching up to do...

Anyways, as I'm writing this in a bit later I can see there's a larger number of applicants to this Consul election compared to the last, which hopefully broods well for the coming months.

To close up, I'll quote myself from the last report, as I believe it to be just as relevant now.

Real Life always takes priority. In the grand scheme of things Total War Center is "just" an online forum - Prioritize yourself first if you need a break from stress, then come back. We'll be around

But that doesn't mean TWC cannot be that be that break
