Ouch! But Azaghal was carried away to be buried.

Just a quick follow-up. I assume the vote is now open, and will run for a week or so. If anyone has any questions relating to my citizenship request, please feel free to ask me. I don't know whether PM, this thread or a new thread would be best - moderators?

Maybe the internet is starting to become sentient (hello, Skynet!), and this is an early attempt at communication where it's picking random phrases from existing text - baby talk, if you like.

Greetings, citizens of Exilian!
I would like to apply for citizenship.
1. Why I would like to be a citizen
I have enjoyed participating in the forum over the last month; I hope and expect to continue to do so. As a reasonably active member, I would like to have the opportunity to take part in discussions and decisions on matters affecting Exilian.
2. What I think I can offer
As indicated in my Welcome thread, I'm not a game-player. Instead, I have long experience as an analyst and programmer (including HTML); I have a wide range of interests in science, history, geography and languages; I enjoy reading and talking about SF and fantasy. I have helped in various capacities with SF/fantasy conventions. I have had (and still have) various committee positions for societies in Cambridge, particularly as Treasurer; this includes taking an interest in constitutions and legal matters. In short, I think I have a range of experience and interests that would benefit Exilian.
3. Type of application: direct vote
(I understand that I can ask for a patron later if I wish)

Sad news, but not a great surprise. He had a long and highly productive life, and gave a lot of people enjoyment from his work.

Writing, Poems, AARs, and Stories - The Storyteller's Hall / Re: What are you reading?
« on: August 24, 2014, 10:56:32 AM »
Despite my intention, I haven't got started on MSR's "Winter of the World" yet. I also have a copy of Iain M. Banks' Surface Detail which I got about halfway through some months ago. This is unusual - I normally read a new book right through, as fast as other commitments will allow. Anyway, I had a couple of hours on trains yesterday, so I picked it up again and have got back into it. I think it's going to be very good - possibly one of Banks' best.
