A moment of silence for the cullen...

All,

Heat has graciously agreed to be the cull-master and implement the cullpening (in his own time people, chillax).

We've decided to change the inactivity window to 120 days (which is a whole football season more or less).  The reasoning being, if you haven't posted here for an entire football season, you're probably not a regular poster.  Yeah, whatever, I know.

The cullen shall be stripped of their place in the Gerousia and de-badged.  I am updating the charter to accommodate the change with the only additional change being that inactivity assessments can happen at any time at the discretion of the Ephorate.  

Once again, I can't begin to express how grateful we should all be to Heat for the amount of time he has invested in this site.

Happy Culling, and Those who stay, will be ....<gag> ...sorry, couldn't do that.  Threw up in  my mouth a little there.

Fuck the tRCMB.. wait wut?

List of the axed?

There should be a movie called The Culling

84 Gerontes
119 remain.

Now...what to do about the "traitors"???

Ha, hopefully, they'll come back and become active posters. Then we'll vote them back into the Gerousia!

It is done

P.S. - Thanks Heat!

I don't think that's what he meant.

I thought you didn't want to hear about it any more.

It isn't like anyone would notice, since they haven't posted here since before football started.

Move on ..... nothing to see here, mossey along boys.

You culled people that didn't deserve it, you terrorist

I just culled myself.

Can I be promoted?

Your faux outrage is misdirected. I didn't cull anyone.

Trust No One.

I'll miss the bastion of emotional security and intellectual depth - the Gringo Gimp from Guadalajara..

he sure would've been a great guy to have a beer with.

120 days makes sense.
Is there a list of who was dropped?

Also, was there a vote on changing it from 1 year to 120 days? Or is that some kind of executive power type decision? Just curious as to how that works.

It had to be an executive decision because under the previous model, no vote could possibly pass due to a lack of voter turnout.

Survivors, let not your moment of silence exceed one hundred and twenty days

So are they officially De-Gerontes?

Or is that the rest of us?

Answers:

Phil - It was exercised as a discretionary change to the charter. There is a stipulation that this is possible in the first year of our existence as we settle in.

Joe - Yes, they are no longer members of the Gerousia but can still participate in discussions. They've been de-badged and demoted to Spartiates.

Can we pick just one? I'm not a good multi-tasker.

When will the book "The Culling" authored by NigelUno be available to read?

let's go with a champion of free speech... being a great American and damn fine Spartan is inherently implied if you're a champion of free speech.

Look for it in the fiction section of your local bookstore soon.

Was going for the play on words... like degenerate... obviously I whiffed.

I think the culled need to have some type of distinction. I don't want them to be the same internet message board status as me. They should be shamed in some way. Perhaps even actively ridiculed.

if they're at tRCMB, they're already ridiculed enough.
