The Game; My column, edition 1

THE GAME.

Epic awesomeness has just entered the building. No, you are not epic awesomeness. You are nothing more than an unorganized, grabastic piece of amphibian s***, as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman puts it. But the epic awesomeness is not him, either; he got killed while in the barracks. Either way, I am the epic awesomeness that has just entered the building. Feel free to n00k a frozen dinner; I've got all day.

TOPIC OF THE NOW: The Magisterium

It's almost June in this place, and the Magisterium has been seated for about half a month. But there's one catch- they're still voting on who should become Provost, and it's ticking me off.

For starters, at the time of which I wrote this column the score was at 3 even- three for incumbent Dyr Nasad, three for challenger Free Pacific States, and three abstaining. The Magisterium has ten people this term. If someone votes abstain, something tells me we're screwed.

Why? If someone votes abstain, then no one is really elected. To further complicate matters, there is no official legislation describing what to do when the elections for Provost are tied, or when abstaining is the most popular option. That means nothing is legal, nor illegal; it's a crossroads.

Since people failed to elect me to the Magisterium, I'm going to give something- and this is just a suggestion, people- from outside the forum. Here it is:

If abstaining is the most popular option, have both members become co-Provosts.

I know, I'm probably going to get shot for this. But let's go further- one Provost oversees debates, and the other oversees votes. One represents the Magisterium to the Arbitorium and the Delegacy, and the other is in charge of the archives. Epic compromise has been reached, and problem solved.

Then again, if one or the other gets the most votes... then I'm happy, and we can move on.




Another thing that has been ticking me off about the Provost elections is the amount of time it is taking. It's been very long, and long enough to elect a Provost. I think they should have stopped it at 5 days, then selected the winner there, which would have been FPS.

But since my opinion is insignificant, I'll shut up now.

Umm if this is for the paper maybe it shouldn't have all that colorful language.

I'm going to have to agree with All here. The topic is fine (I believe the paper should be as free as possible, so long as it doesn't cover things like RL illegal stuff or descrimination or whatever), but my advice here would be to fix up the language - the paper should be kept at a G rating, PG if it's about a topic like a bloody RP or something, I think.

I enjoy this column.
Maybe a colorful language section should be included.
It would certainly be unique.

Perhaps the REAL GAME is in realizing the pointlessness of this topic.
