    Default [Decision] Augustus Brewster

    Quote Originally Posted by Commissar Caligula_ View Post
    Citizens of the Curia, I come before you with a heavy heart. The Curia is under attack from dissidents and rabble rousers. No sooner have we recovered from the travails of negotiating the Hotseat debacle does a fresh conundrum arrive to threaten our sunny shores and the manner of living to which we have grown accustomed.

    This is a time of great danger as we are beset upon all sides. We must have a strong leader to guide us through such times. We need a man who has proven himself time and time again. A man who has proven his talent for warfare, but also for statecraft! We need a General! A General who can negotiate smoothly, whilst being prepared for all eventualities - including bloodshed. We need General Brewster!

    To this end, Citizens of the Curia, I propose that General Brewster be acclaimed as "Augustus", the Father of the Country!


    The Accession of Augustus Brewster
    Article I. Augustus BrewsterThe Administrators of Total War Center, otherwise known as "Hex", shall amend General Brewster's username to reflect his new majesty, and as such they shall rename him "Augustus Brewster".
    Article 2. User GroupThe Administrators of Total War Center, otherwise known as "Hex", shall create a new user group for Augustus Brewster. This group shall have the following user badge:

    Created by Halie
    Article I. The Acclamation of Augustus BrewsterThe Administrators of Total War Center, otherwise known as "Hex"; the Citizens of the Curia; and the users of Total War Center shall abase themselves before Augustus Brewster and acclaim his divine rule.


    Section II - The Curia
    Article II. ElectionsFor every election the Curator may opens a thread for applications3 to the vacant position and another one for all questions and discussion about the election4. The Administration may veto any applicant.
    Once applications are complete, the Curator may opens a poll in the Curia Vote forum5 if it so suits the Curator. The member who receives the highest number of votes is elected to the position6 unless the Curator deems that matters of security prevent such an election.
    Article III. ResolutionsA VoNC may only be initiated for neglect of duty or abuse of authority9 and, if successful against a Curial Officer, results in their immediate removal from office.10 The Curator is immune from any VoNC proceedings as their presence is the divine mandate of the Gods and thus cannot be challenged. Any such rabble rousing shall result in a charge of lèse-majesté17

    After a successful vote the Curator may enacts the resolution, or requests the administration to enact it or to give an official reason for not doing so.15 If the administration do not enact such resolutions, the Curia shall find them in contempt of lèse-majesté17.
    Regulations and Procedures to Section II
    3 Should more than six members apply for any position, the Administration Curator may shortlist six members to stand for the election. If there is no applicant, the application period is prolonged and the incumbent will remain in office until a replacement has been elected.
    Applicants for the offices of Censor and Curator cannot have received an infraction, or a Curial Warning, in at least one year, and must have been Citizens for at least three months. Applicants for the office of Magistrate cannot have received a Moderation Warning, or a Curial Warning, in at least one year.

    6 Where more than one of the same position is vacant, the procedure is the same, and the members with the highest votes are elected. In the case of ties, a run off vote is held between the tied members lasting three days. If there is only one applicant, a ratification vote is held with options "Yes", "No", and "Abstain".
    If a Curial Officer other than the Curator wins an election for another Curial Office, they are required to immediately resign their original Curial Office. An election for the vacant Curial Office will be held.

    7 Any Prothalamos threads can be moved to the Archives by the Curator if they are not posted in for twenty-eight days, or if the Curator deems it necessary for any reasons.

    8 The Curator may correct any spelling, grammatical or formative errors in the Constitution or any Curial resolution. The details of any such changes must do not need to be recorded in the Amendments thread of the Tabularium.

    17 The crime of lèse-majesté shall be deemed to have been committed should any aggravate, annoy, bother, bug, chafe, exasperate, irritate, peeve, persecute, pique, put out, rile or vex the Curator. It shall be at the discretion of the Curator to pronounce any such punishment as they deem necessary to combat such treachery.


    Section V - Succession to the Curatorship
    Article I. The Death of the CuratorIn the event that the Curator dies, or is otherwise indisposed and unable to carry out their role, the Curia shall enter a phase of mourning for a period not lasting less than a month.
    Following such period, the Curia will unanimously deify the deceased Curator and thereafter refer to them as the "Divi [Curator's Name]", and elect a Chief Pontiff to honour their memory.
    Article II. The Curator is dead, long life the Curator!Following the aforementioned period of mourning, the most senior of the Curator's Assistants will be proclaimed as the new Augustus, and sit upon the Curial Chair.
    If there are no Curator's Assistants to accomplish such a role, the divine will of the Gods will make clear their divinely ordained successor, whomsoever they may be.
    Any opposition shall be dealt with most swiftly by Augustus Brewster.

    Hasn't this dead horse being beaten enough? If this is a humorous proposal, move it to the TD, if it's serious, just drop it.. I can't see how HEX would not veto this

    better to focus on more practical stuff, eh?

    Ahh, so every thread copy pasted from Prothalamos to the Curia Vote forum would also fall under that rule? Or is it that you're just bitter and angry and want something to complain about?
    I think I know which one it is.

    This is the first time this thread has been posted in this forum. If you're mad about it, I suggest you report it and stop posting in this thread, please. This is for serious discussion of the proposal and other posts would be off topic.

    Nope. Copying threads from here to the Curia vote forum is the correct procedure for proposals/threads. Reposting an already archived joke proposal is not.

    Or is it that you're just bitter and angry and want something to complain about?
    I think I know which one it is.
    I have nothing to be bitter or angry about. You realise this comes across as an attempt to be disruptive in some manor since your revolt stalled. It's creative-ish, but ultimately, the system already has a response.

    This is the first time this thread has been posted in this forum. If you're mad about it, I suggest you report it and stop posting in this thread, please. This is for serious discussion of the proposal and other posts would be off topic.
    Nope. The ToS does not state a thread has to be in the same forum. If you intend to continue to rail about rules, I suggest you actually read them first.

    I'm trying to do you a favour, maybe, saving you from yourself. You're trying to gather favour in the curia by playing the clown, maybe looking for allies in your dispute with Hex. It won't work. You'll end up bitter, like others before you. Posting random rants about higher ups and tyranny. At some point Hex will start to ignore you, your rants will become more frustrated, you'll fall foul of the ToS, spend long hours wasted arguing in the tribunal. And ultimately, become another Gollum. All very predictable.

    Yes, I archived the thread myself. It was originally posted in the Curia, not here though. This is not a repost. Again, if you feel that it is you can report it. Otherwise, stop posting in this thread unless you plan to discuss the proposal at hand, please.

    Why is an (obviously not serious) abandoned proposal quotedd in it's entirety and warmed up in the Prothalamos? Desperation? Lack of lime light? Snubbing the ToS?

    Sad, whatever the motivation behind it.

    Please don't post here unless you're going to actually discuss the merits of this proposal. You're welcome to state your opposition or support, but other than that your post is considered off topic.

    Haven't laughed hard like this for a long time. This proposal was abandoned when it was tabled the first time, what's there to discuss other then the reason why it was copy\pasted without a single word from the new proposer? I am assuming you kept a copy to keep proposing this for another umpteenth times?

    Just as well the D&D rules don't apply here. You know, the one that gets threads terminated if there is no sufficient base for discussion: the original proposal was abandoned, new proposal is a copy\paste of the original. Off topic my ass, you need to provide a topic before telling others that they are off topic.

    Actually not.
    People have the right to wonder what are the real motivations/goals of the member behind his proposal. The fact here is that this proposal doesn't look serious and if it is, it should be re-written to avoid such confusion.

    That should be interesting, absolute minimum requirements (3 support, and six hours more then the 3 days discussions) is always a great way to go for a vote.

    Pity that the 'frivolous' sub article apparently only applies to VonCs:

    Perhaps this is a test of his position as stated in the mod comm, that copy pasting an OP is a breech of EMM local rules and should be infracted. Round about way of making a point.

    Not much of a point unless it was meant to demonstrate not knowing what a repost is when it comes to the ToS.

    He also thought that moving it to a vote would be a repost, that's right under the minimum requirements for getting it moved:
    Quote Originally Posted by Constitution - Article III. Resolutions View Post

    If that broke the ToS then he would have been VonCed every time a proposal went for a vote.

    Seeing that up to now there hasn't been a comment by the proposer for this copy\pasta affair I still go with my first assessment: Desperation? Lack of lime light? Snubbing the ToS?

    In view of the amount of abandoned proposals I guess I'll do well to renew my pop corn concession.
