I accepted his offer to be my patron of course, as he has been a nice guy to me and saw the special 'something' within my posts that he felt was worthy of Civitate status. Imagine the further shock I felt when two more people offered to be my patron, all in the space of a few hours. I was about to start another pointless paragraph, but now I think it's best if I stop boring you to death with my pointless natter and get to the main point(s).

Am I Civitate material? It's an interesting question that, even now, still has me pondering on what to type next. I have the natural human flaw of having an over-large opinion of myself, so naturally, writing this in an un-biased point of view is quite difficult. Even having said this, I believe I am Civitate material, one reason is that I have time and energy enough to spend hours on these forums, contributing to the many threads open to public view.

Can I contribute anything better to this already great forum? I believe that I can, as I said above somewhere, I have the time and energy to not only visit this site, but to browse the internet for general topics of interest, such as Soccer for those non-Americans like me. I can post news about Wrestling (In a single topic of course) for those interested in that, even though there are probably few. I can also participate in intellectual debate without being overpowered by the intelligence of the people around me.
I have a basic knowledge of text coding and could minorly help a few beginners start their course down the rocky road of modding. I also have the rare ability to give constructive criticism on models and skins and not just say things like 'that sucks'. Also, when MTWII comes out, I am aiming to be a text editor for it, and therefore I may be able to help those whom come to this forum asking how to do certain things only do-able by editing the text files. I am a member of the Wrath of Khan mod, just though I'd share that with you.

Now as I look over the relatively short things I've typed, I fully acknowledge the fact that I may not be accepted as a Civitate, I can but hope.

With utmost respect,

Gaius Drakan.

Yes.

NOOO... Public Polls!!!!

Voted for.

**Obi Wan Asterix** · April 09, 2006, 02:58 AM

Public polls and Octavian did not write his paragraph.

I would vote yes but on a double procedural infringement I am abstaining.

I don't really think the paragraph is 100% necessary. Octavian patronised before it was put in place anyway, so you can't really blame him for it.

And that's no reason for him to fail.

Sweet, 8,000th post.

umm.. no.. He is almost as bad at spamming as SQ at times.

**John I Tzimisces** · April 09, 2006, 10:48 AM

Blargh. Abstain/public poll, ya ninny!

**imb39** · April 09, 2006, 12:15 PM

He's a nice enough fellow but I still vote no. So who did write it, Asterix?

He means the paragraph that the patron is expected to write.

**imb39** · April 09, 2006, 01:23 PM

Ahyhh... I feel stupid now.

**Seleukos** · April 09, 2006, 05:02 PM

I have had chats with him numerous times, good fellow. Also a long time member. He spams a bit but I can forgive that. Voted yes.

**John I Tzimisces** · April 09, 2006, 09:30 PM

I'm thinking I want my vote changed to no after looking through his posts. I seriously think ana influences this vote too much. This guy ain't anything special.

**Justinian** · April 09, 2006, 09:50 PM

Would the people who voted 'this poll is not public' please tell me which option they voted for?

**John I Tzimisces** · April 09, 2006, 10:02 PM

No for me.

**Valus** · April 10, 2006, 02:36 AM

Voted no

**Obi Wan Asterix** · April 10, 2006, 04:26 AM

If my yes is needed than please consider it so.

**imb39** · April 10, 2006, 06:01 AM

No, as stated.

**Belisarius** · April 12, 2006, 02:49 PM

No, they only patronised him because they want to sleep with him. Seriously...

**Boudicca** · April 13, 2006, 02:12 PM

His posts lack substance. I think the essential points of last times no vote are unchanged. If he would be giving more input in a way of discussion, I'd be ok with him though. I hope he wont be too frustrated if he fails.
