[Discussion] Nominations for new Senator - Feb 06
With a hope that I'm not overstepping my bounds, I'd like to kick off this months nominations for Senatorship. I actually have my own nominee in mind, but I have to do some research on his posting before bringing it to the floor.
So, minus my nomination, please drop a name or a dime on a deserving member.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Because, I suppose, that was the way things were last month . . . with a [Member] thread for nominations (Really, it should be something like [Nominations] for nominating new Senators) and a [Discussion] thread to discuss the various merits and demerits of the potential candidates. Though everyone tended to discuss in the nomination thread anyway.Dalton wrote:No, why?Stuart Mackey wrote:Oh, shouldnt the title prefix be changed to [Member]?

at the risk of upstaging poor surlethe (again), I'm going to try nominating Sonnenburg I believe this is Chuck Sonnenburg, long time ASVSer.
I'm nominating him because:
a.) reading his posts make me laugh
b.) I like his avatar
c.) I like Pie.

I nominate Illiminutis Primus.
As befitting a senator, I'm too drunk to spell his name right or link to his profile right now. So I'll back edit later. Besides, everyone knows who he is.

Yes, we do, and I'm predicting support for him will be as buoyant as the aerodynamic lift properties of an anvil dropped from ten thousand feet...Ender wrote:I nominate Illiminutis Primus.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

GOP message? Why don't they just come out of the closet: FASCISTS R' US –Patrick Degan

A variety of times that IP has been informative and a contributing member, there are numerous times he just throws down the gauntlet for no apparent reason.Stuart Mackey wrote:Okay..maybe my memory is faulty {entirly possible] or I am just being a dumbarse {rhetorical, dont answer}..but why would that be?Edi wrote:Yes, we do, and I'm predicting support for him will be as buoyant as the aerodynamic lift properties of an anvil dropped from ten thousand feet...Ender wrote:I nominate Illiminutis Primus.

The most recent was a one liner about Greece being a loser country for not taking back it's artifacts from the British. Another being about "hogging" a fuck.

There's a few recent threads in ARSE I think where he's been annoying people, and I know he can be a real dick form the debates I've had with him (He's arrogant too, but that's a bit less forgivable than some of his other attitudes.)Ghost Rider wrote:A variety of times that IP has been informative and a contributing member, there are numerous times he just throws down the gauntlet for no apparent reason.Stuart Mackey wrote:Okay..maybe my memory is faulty {entirly possible] or I am just being a dumbarse {rhetorical, dont answer}..but why would that be?Edi wrote: Yes, we do, and I'm predicting support for him will be as buoyant as the aerodynamic lift properties of an anvil dropped from ten thousand feet...

I think the most grating aspect is that he's such a blatant "wannabe" IMHO.
As you say, he can contribute to the forum in positive ways, and he's certainly no troll, but there are lots of people like that too (Shep could be put into that category, so could Spanky and quite a few others who, while not outright trolls, aren't quite up to what one might call "Senate" standards.)

I was reading through and suddenly realized that Surlethe had not been renominated so I'm going to correct that.

Well, drat. Now I'll have to wait until the formal vote instead of spending it on a thirding.Connor MacLeod wrote:Didn't Stuart beat you to it? :PCmdrWilkens wrote:I was reading through and suddenly realized that Surlethe had not been renominated so I'm going to correct that.
I suppose you could consider that seconding the nomination, instead of looking silly ;)
