Previous thread deleted due to governors doing the nominating when they are not allowed to do so.

Senators, whom do you nominate?

"I PICK PICK!"

I second the nomination of Pick. Her contributions to the board, while not entirely in the area of debate, have been significant and positive, and she has proven herself a consistent and valuable member of the community.

Ummmm, we voted and amended the rules to allow governors to nominate WAAAYY back. Rob just never got around to editing the "power, perks, etc" thread in the aftermath of that vote.

My mistake. Apologies to Edi and LadyTevar.

Is there anything else in the rules that is not up to date? This seems like a fairly important thing to remedy.

No problem, Capsaicin, it happens.

So, I'm nominating Spin Echo again. But damned if I can be bothered to dig the posting history back up right now. Later maybe. Any seconds?

Post by **Zaia** » 2007-08-04 09:56am

I'll second.

Thirded for Spin Echo. She's one of those underrated posters who fully deserves the recognition of being a Senator.

Post by **LadyTevar** » 2007-08-04 02:59pm

I again nominate Imperial Overlord, who like Pick has contributed greatly to the board in both his prolific fiction, and his quiet debates in science and fantasy.

Post by **Coyote** » 2007-08-04 03:47pm

If we'd kept it to just Pick and Spin, it could have been a chickfight, possibly settled by Jell-O wrestling.

Seriously, though, we need to update that rule thingy about the Governors & nominations, so as to avert future confusion.

CmdrWilkens · Post by **CmdrWilkens** » 2007-08-04 06:39pm

Two quick thoughts:

1) I'll second Imperial Overlord

2) I'm working on re-writing the "power" section of the power and perks thread. When I'm finsihed I'll just send it over through the Admins fr a quick review as they are (by rule) serving in place of the Chancellor. The other reason obviously being any changes i do make I don't want to have the accusation that I'm aggrandizing the Whip position.

Sweet, our flat can be the official senate hall.

+1 Endorsement of Spin Echo's nomination.

Post by **Surlethe** » 2007-08-05 06:05pm

I would like to remind my fellow Senators that nominations are not to be made in a vacuum: it is the job of the nominating Senator to provide links to exemplary debating on the part of the nominee.

I was going to have a moment of insanity and nominate Stark, but I like the idea of Imperial Overlord way better. I've had a number of fun conversations wiht him and he's always contributed positively to threads I've started/participated in (even if they ARE mainly 40K ones..

)

I'll see if I can find an example, but it will probablty take some time and be very geeky.

Spyder · Post by **Spyder** » 2007-08-05 07:35pm

Examples for Spin Echo

vs Metavac... yeah easy target but still

Music Taught at University level, debating Mike.

Had to wade through Imperial Overlord's massive collection of stories in FanFic, and finally had to ask him and Nitram both for help finding these:

Thank you LadyTevar, that saves me a buttload of time after having cooked my ass off.

Quick reminder once we've got a nomination and a second everyone can just hold off commentary until its time to vote, leave the thread open for more nominations should they be forthcoming because too many thirds fourths etc just discourage new nominations.

+1 for Imperial Overlord

Did you read Wilkens' post? He's already been nominated and seconded. There is no need for further support.

sorry, I should have just clicked in the bottom corner to continue watching and said nothing....
