Don Republic and Kuban People's Republic
Hi thank you for solving the republics problems, I already fixed them, with Sochi, Rostov-on-Don and towns like Taganrod were nuked with Tangarod destroyed by the Tsunami. VENEZUELA 21:01, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

I research and the only things I find were Taganrod, Sochi, and Rostov on Don, and I nuked them, and if there is any other zone, please just add them. VENEZUELA 17:02, June 27, 2010 (UTC) and I'm gonna change the map.

ok I promise it! VENEZUELA 21:34, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Lordganon, Arstapool is turning this articles in obsolete because your comment of the map, Please can you create the map? Please? VENEZUELA 00:40, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hi I already do the map what do you think?

Thanks for helping me in the articles and giving me the reason in the Caucasus, there are even countries near New York, why couldn't be countries in the Caucasus. Really thank you a lot!!!!!!! VENEZUELA

Yes of course you can. VENEZUELA 22:29, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, If you want quit any objection to graduation in the talk page.VENEZUELA 17:46, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

I love how you change it only that I would like if you might put the cossack photo were it was originally because the article with the photo were you put seems strange. VENEZUELA 20:42, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ok! VENEZUELA 15:19, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Join Rheinland Federation/Waldeck operation
A posible reason for the set lines on the map would be if the two nations co-operated in removing the army units, Waldeck would have taken the more populous areas less affected by radiation while the Federation got claims on the iradiated areas for future use. I was wondering what your thoughts on this are?Vegas adict 19:03, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

What you have to understand is that controling and area and saying you control it is totaly diferent, It seems to me your largest problem is with the size of the state so i'l change that, Other than that do you have any problems?.Obviously though i will respect your wishes although i do belive some sort of diplomatic contact would exist between the two nations as they are relatively close together.Vegas adict 17:05, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Central World
Hi Lorganon, might you create articles for Central World and give your opinion! I'm trying to turn it into a community project! Please Answer me. VENEZUELA 23:02, July 15, 2010 (UTC) Please Answer me...

Audrey Hepburn
Ganon, I want to compliment you on the excellent job you did in revising the article on Ms. Hepburn. I don't know if you ran it by Ven, but I'm sure he will be delighted with the changes. I especially liked the way you converted her UNICEF work to "local" relief around the Mediterranean Sea. Though that would mean no visit to Ven's home country, it honors her real world contributions there and elsewhere in the world.

I noticed, one small thing, though. In the paragraph about the support for AHICEF, you left in the contributions of nations around the world. It is doubtful that such nations would even KNOW of her work, much less contribute to it. I am sure this is an oversight in the revision. It would not distract from the effectiveness of the article to restrict the financial contributions to the Mediterranean world.

Again, excellent work. SouthWriter 15:29, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Adygea and Chechnia
Hi Lordganon I just want to ask you might you create an article about Adygea, but a bigger one covering from Adygea to Kabardino-Balkaria and divided in 3 republics (the 3 of Russia) and if you can really change and create a better Chechnya article because the one that exist is horrible. Also thanks for what you have done to my articles, now they might be canon, and also just for you to know i'm going to do at some moment between July and September the articles about Chuvasia, Mordovia, Mari El. and Tatarastan. VENEZUELA 16:48, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Also I take Venezuela WCRB Command, and I let free the one of the Caucasus you should take it. VENEZUELA 02:29, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Georgia
Hi Lordganon I received this message from Arstarpool.

''As the caretaker of Georgia, you do not have my permission to have a LoN command there. I kicked you out of the Georgia article, anyways. Arstarpool 01:51, July 28, 2010 (UTC)''

So I decided to delete all that I added to Georgia and what I asked Vladivostok to add (Economy and Military) and created a new article: Republic of Georgia.

so please feel free to edit it. VENEZUELA 04:07, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ven, that is VANALISM. You can be banned for vandalism.

Creating a duplicate article, even if it is a little different is considered spamming and can also get you BANNED. Arstarpool 04:38, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Knew I shouldn't have done that command thing. Jeez. Still haven't seen anywhere you actually said that you kicked him out (besides that) Arstar, but w/e.

Ven, that was wrong. But, Arstar, you are not helping - you aren't the god of this place, though its starting to seem like you think you are.

Now, as to the articles - they both are horrid abominations. Have you actually READ the things? Besides the horrid look and coding of the things, they also read like a blasted copy from wikipedia.

Seriously.

Lordganon 12:59, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

The message in which I kicked him out was posted on Vens talk page. In Spanish.

Let me tell you how Ven became the self-proclaimed "Causcaus Expert"...

Long ago, or like two months ago, I adopted the Georgia article from Fedelede. I then marked it in on my talk page as "Adopted Pages". Ven's elementary english howver could not tell the difference from "Open for adoption" and "Adopted" and asked to adopt it. In order to not look like a shit-head, I agreed to let him work on it, although he did several changes involving the "Balkanization" and purging all of Fede's original work that I was not happy about.

Thinking it was a success, Venezuela went and made himself the "Causcaus Expert". He made the causcaus, a heavily targeted region into a teeming pool of life that is heavily unrealistic. He got this idea that if "The USA had like 50 nations, why can't Russia?". The one thing he hasn't realized is that Russia was targeted in almost every possible target. That's why Siberia is the only large surviving nation in Russia. However, since Ven wanted a nation for every minority group in Russia, he does not understand the amount of WORK it is to build a nation. Yet since he seems to feel "bad" for every minority group that doesn't get a nation, he only wants what he wants.

Seeing that the page was never going to get graduated I expelled Ven from the project, hoping that I could fix it up a bit for graduated. You have to admit, it does look SLIGHTLY better now.

An Alliance You Say?
Hey, Lordganon
 * I just came out out of hibernation recently and now with talks between two people calling for the complete dismemberment of the Federation of Greece, I'm starting to get a bit worried. Would any of your nations- such as Georgia, the Don Republic (I don't think the Kuban People's Republic would like Greece very much), and Transylvania-be willing to ally, trade, and have all-around friendly relations with the Federation of Greece? Awhile back I always pictured Transyvlania to be on good-relations with Greece, though that was never official I don't think, I'd also if possible to culminate good relations with Georgia as well. I'd ask about Rhodope, but the encounter between Rhodope and Greece seemed a bit, shall we say "awkward" in that it's not so much that Greece wouldn't want relations with Rhodope, but Rhodope not wanting good relations with Greece, although I'm certainly open to it. If Greece and Rhodope get friendly and ally, I think Vidin would definitely want no part of Greece, although I can't see why they'd want to ally with Greece even if Greece has no interactions with Rhodope. Finally, I hope the shared religion between both Greece, and Georgia, and the various Caucasian-Republics, and Rhodope might help to ease relations and an eventual alliance between any of the states. EDIT: Oh it seems that Rhodope and Greece have traded with each other in the past, and Vidin tried to attack a Greek embassy-seems the decision on who to support just became easier :).

Mr.Xeight 01:44, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

I'd first like to point out that I mistakenly said "culminate" when I meant "cultivate"; how embarrassing :)
 * Anyway, I'm glad that I can count Georgia, Transylvania, and Rhodope as my allies; I'm surely going to need them! Perhaps were could form a Black Sea Alliance for those four nations? I'm sorry, I didn't see what the caretaker of Turkey was doing that would need my attention, and rather embarrassingly I need your assistance to point it out; but it would probably be best for you to know that the caretakers of Turkey and Skopia are plotting my demise and probably hate me as a person, not only the nation I tend to, so I've stopped caring about what they do. Finally, YES, I would love for you to become a co-caretaker of the Federation; my time at 1983:Doomsday is wearing thin and I'm looking for all the help I can get to actually write out articles and such for the Federation. If you would, I'd be most appreciative if you contact BoredMatt, Oerwinde, and Venezuela that you're going to be joining them in their quest to expand Greece. If you like war, I'd like to beg you to expand on the Second Sicily War; I hardly wrote anything on it except for that Greece and Austria on November 27th, 2009 absolutely pounded Sicily, so I'm sure they're about ready to surrender. If you could also tell the community that Greece is a major power in the war, as I feel that people have forgotten that the Federation is involved and only focus on the Alpine State and the various Italian Rebels; that hurts my feelings a bit, you know. ;)
 * School slammed me with homework on my first day today, so I'll be here much, much less than even a week ago. I probably won't even be able to write on the religious aspects of the Federation and how the the two Patriarchates of Alexandria have come back together, and that's the easiest article to write of them all! It's a shame I might have to leave because of homework, huh?

Mr.Xeight 23:16, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well Rhodope can be a part of both the Black Sea Union and ADC with no problem-afterall, Greece'll be part of both. I take issue to all of Turkey and Macedonias' articles, I just don't feel like saying anything because I'll get an earfull I barely care about. Oh and as for the war, Caerueleus or whatever his name is will oppose anything doing to Greece but has no room to talk about plausibility when he wrote the Sultanate of Turkey, so by all means please begin work on the War. Do you have an approximate end time for the War? I thought 2012, but of course I'm like you, I care more for trade (you and I will get along great I think :D)and colonisation than war itself, so I have no idea what I'm talking about. The only thing I ask is that you keep "Black Friday" because it's a reference to the American Black Friday where everyone buys anything they can possibly hold the day after American Thanksgiving, I thought it was rather clever at the time! :D Anyway, again thank you for helping me with the Federation, and you're a godsend. Mr.Xeight 03:49, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, Xeight, as one of the caretakers of Georgia you have the support of the Federation of Georgia to Greece. Arstarpool 23:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Well, old friend, it seems that people seem to hear what they want, and I just got a major bitch-fest for trying to make relations with Macedonia/Skopia. Turkey'll probably declare war- Macedonia might, too. Since this is my fault, I think I'm going to have to apologize to all of my fellow caretakers. Mr.Xeight 22:02, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Italy Page
I have a strange favor to ask of you, could you do what you did with the Bulgaria page for the Italy page? If you can, place the map on the talk page on the Italy page and write a brief summary of the nations, except for New Rome, which I have to revamp very soon if it is to stay in canon. I'm sorry to be a drag but I am currently editing and writing on a very restricted timeframe. Arstarpool 23:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

PS, I see that your current userpicture is that of a little Ganon, is it not? Arstarpool 23:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC) I dont have a problem with you adopting Malta, but make surr it conforms with the scant information related to Malta on the Malta Lampuesada Corridor article. Arstarpool 18:11, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Confederacy & Belarus
Well, I actually added that small passage regarding the Belarus and the RC. I wasn't really thinking about anything long term, but surely they have a lot in common: Both are survivor communities in the ex-Soviet Union, trying to survive against an aggressive neighbour slowly, but surely, coming to take what they perceive as their rightful territory. I'd say a friendly relationship with frequent trade would commence, don't you?--Vladivostok 09:14, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, of course not, the thought of Belarus joining never really crossed my mind. Although they would probably be asked if they would like to join, though. The same would most likely happen for the Caucasian states immediately in the vicinity of the RC's borders. I'm glad that you approve all in all, and we will be sure to add new content in the future, as soon as Vegas gets back from his holiday. Well expand on everything now that the article is canon. And the whole line about Greece and Prussia was made by Vegas, but would seem perfectly logical. The RC has the bad luck to basicaly be on the frontline of Siberian aggression and is desperate to have some political clout, thus it is turning to every possible country for help.--Vladivostok 09:46, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Greece
So since MrX gave us control over Greece I was hoping you could look over my latest additions and maybe make some additions to the province articles. I'm doing a basic history of greece on the Federation page, but figured the more detailed regional history would go on the provincial ones.Oerwinde 07:56, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Sure divvying them up sounds good. As you saw I was already working on Cyprus. I started some basic articles, and made some flags for Agion Oros, Cyrenaica, Morea, and Egypt. Though I don't know dick about Orthodoxy so we might need to tap MrX for Agion Oros.Oerwinde 08:16, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Sure. Greek Egypt is going to be difficult.Oerwinde 08:36, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Well my idea for Egypt is going to be dependent on a LOT of people migrating to the lands along the Eonile or dying. Since otherwise theres no way a greek egyptian state could realisticly exist, as the area included in the state has an OTL population of like 18-20 million. I'm hoping I can get away with a coptic majority state.Oerwinde 09:08, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Mercenaries
Do you think any of the warring states on the eastern Black Sea in 1983: Doomsday would require or want the use of mercenaries? States of any size, any government, it does not matter.--Emperor of Trebizond 01:34, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Holy Mountain
With your, Xeights, and Oers permission can I work on Agion Oros aka Holy Mountain? Arstarpool 04:28, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Turkey
So, why do you think the Sultanate of Turkey (1983: Doomsday) is too large? Caeruleus 01:36, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * You know, it's difficult to work these kind of things out when you don't respond :( Caeruleus 14:43, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Since you were the only one who bothered to continue commenting, despite my repeated WoTs, would you like the honor of graduating my Sultanate of Turkey article? Caeruleus 01:10, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Duchy of Lancaster
I notice that you've added a couple of things to the article for Lancaster. Although I don't have a major problem with it, given that it's my article I'd appreciate it if in future you asked first, since while feedback is greatly apprecicated (thanks for that by the way), I'd like it to be my own work as much as possible.Tessitore 12:33, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. Speaking of the nation-box, I don't suppose you could tell me how to add the flag and coat of arms. I've had a few attempts but they've all gone wonky, probably because I'm rubbish at code.82.25.224.63 18:54, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Have done so, although for some reason every time I try to add the Head of State or Head of Government (I've just got the title at the moment) things go wonky.Tessitore 01:20, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Dig This
Owen wants to become part of the TSPTF since he nominated Smoggy after he just stated above he did not do it to earn respect in order to increase his standing. Go to Louisiannan's talk page and see the madness. Since you seem to be fighting with him I think you of all people should take a look. Arstarpool 23:42, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Actually I check the history, he was not the one to add the adoption template. Thus he has a right to adopt the article if he so chooses. Mitro 17:05, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

The Patriarch
This is something that's confusing; in fact I didn't really understand until I was about 14. Basically the Patriarch is a bishop, but not "just" a bishop. He's given the most respect of all the bishops, but has no more power to do anything except for given the seat of honour at a synod-where various issues are decided and such; those are the most powerful man-mad things of the church. Mr.Xeight 23:28, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

First among equals-definitely. I would say that the rest of the bishops would take his word into account a little bit more than usual, but not always. For instance, there was a Patriarch in the 1500s who wanted to reform the Church along more Protestant lines-and every bishop shot him down. One Patriarch, in order to save the Eastern Roman Empire by securing help, decided to hand power of the Patriarchate over to the Bishop of Rome-all but one bishop of the Patriarchate agreed, but because the decision has to be unanimous the unification was cancelled. The Patriarch's name is usually taken off the list of Patriarchs for his "betrayal", whereas the Bishop that literally saved the Church is considered by some to be an unofficial saint. So, it widely depends on the issue-at-hand. Mr.Xeight 23:45, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Glad you asked. We elect our patriarchs using the synod, which as you know is the most powerful "figure" in Orthodoxy of man (I know that's an awkwardly phrased sentence, but of course the Trinity is the head of the church, and then the synods are how things get done here on Earth). Now I think because Doomsday basically destroyed the Patriarchate, Athens, and Thessaloniki and completely changed Orthodoxy forever as many bishops as possible might be the number needed to elect a new Patriarch. So it'd be year before a synod could be mustered-scouts would have to go across Greece and Turkey to find bishops from the Ecumenical Patriarchate-likewise, the Patriarchs in Damascus, Jerusalem, and Alexandria. Hey, maybe one of the reasons the Greeks went down to Egypt was to see how the Patriarch in Alexandria was holding up. I'd say maybe 10 years after DD to select a Patriarch at most, at least 3-5 years. Mr.Xeight 02:46, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't see the rest of your questions, would you mind resending them to me on my talk page? Mr.Xeight 02:04, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hi LG, I raed you're an expert on many countries so would you like to create some Central World articles or finishing the Canada one? please answer me, and I already answer the Texas problem in the talk page. VENEZUELA 03:03, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thank You! and i have just the idea of museums, greek like skycrapers and things like that. Although what you think about USA turning Caribbean and Central American countries into associated states VENEZUELA 03:45, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Also it's that because of the same cause the USA use the Monroe Doctrine in CW and establish dictatorships? maybe it could be some kind of commonwealth being sovereign states but associated with America. VENEZUELA 04:02, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Yukon
Sure, I have no problem there. I want to say that my ideas for the "feel" of the Yukon are very specific. The South Americans claimed they are not a "real country" and in many ways they're right. The Yukon is a frontier wilderness where most people live as villagers and nomads and the government, such as it is, is mostly a forum for bringing the different communities together. I wanted to explore how the forms of Canadianness would evolve in a place where civil society sort of dissolves peacefully rather than ends catastrophically. (Though there was indeed plenty of catastrophe in the 1980s.) I also left the Yukon in the middle of a news storyline: there is still a question whether or not they will recognize the House of Windsor monarchy. I don't want that story to progress too fast - things move slowly in the Yukon. But if you want to develop it further, I'm fine with that if the spirit of what's already written is upheld.

Question
Hello, I am a new user to this site, and recently inquired about potential collaborators on the main page discussion thing. I was then pointed to the experts page, which led me to you. Looking at your page, you look like you have plenty of projects on your hand, so I understand completely if you cannot respond to this or help. My timeline is about an alternate America, and is very centered on the development of this alternate America. But, I would like to flesh out the rest of the world. The only thing I've established about the rest of the world is that Napoleon beat the British in Europe (No betrayal of the Spanish is the mini-POD for that). But, after that, I am at a bit of a loss as to what would have happened. How would Europe have developed after the Napoleonic Wars, with half of Europe under French control? Would the hegemony eventually be broken? And, to be a bit more specific: Would France try to regain French Guyana? Leave it to the Americans? Would it be reasonable for the Americans to demand Britain give independence to their area of the Guyanas (pr to hand it over to America)? Wow, that was quite a rant. Sorry about that. Get back to me if you can. Thanks! Randomideaguy 23:38, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Nomination
Hey LG. I've nominated you to become our next constable, and you can see how I weighed out your goods and your bads on the Request for User Rights page. If you would like to become a member of the TSPTF respond and the rest of us will go through the nomination and see if we'll accept you or not. If you would prefer to stay-as-you-are right now, thats fine, its your decision. But I feel that you are one of the people who would do a great job on the TSPTF. So respond when you can, Arstar 20:04, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well? Do you want to go through with it or not? Well at the current moment we have lots of Leutenients and not so many constables, and you have expressed good work ethic on your articles and have removed a few nonsensical edits from pages and you have a good reputation to top it off so you were the first that came to mind. Should you accept the nomination we will wait to see what happens on October 11th, 2010 (when you'll be officially eligible) and if you have a 2/3 majority vote you will ascend to the TSPTF whenever a Leutenient or Bureaucrat/Brass officially gives you rollback rights.

PS, If it comes to a shock that I nominate you, I want you to know that I follow a mental policy. I separate my work from the personal chit-chat. Chit-chat can get me in trouble with others, but I take work seriously. You, have a bit of a temper at times as do I (my main concern is that if you get into a fight you'll fly off the wall and end up banning someone) but you're still a good editor and it wouldn't hurt to have an extra Constable. Arstar 07:46, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yukon and Northwest Territories: revisit?
Hey, Ganon. I've recently been thinking about our pages for the Yukon and NT We both assumed that neither place had any kind of nuclear attacks. But I'm concerned that I didn't look at the full range of potential targets. In particular, the Canadian Forces Northern Area (now the Joint Task Force North) has a base 24 km south of Whitehorse. It seems rather unimportant, but it is Canada's closest base to Russia and if the USSR was thinking about a land invasion, it may have thought it advisable to just get it out of the way. A more important base is at Yellowknife, NT. It was the headquarters for the entire Northern Area and was established in 1970 "with a view to treating the North as a single theatre of operations" (from JTFN's website).

Then there's the DEW line, the line of radar stations stretching along the Arctic coast, and Station Alert on Ellesmere. These stations were highly strategic and are likely targets, though they were remote enough that they probably would not affect our histories too much if we added a mention. There were DEW stations in Iceland and the Faeroes, too, which could potentially affect the history of the Nordic Union.

In Yukon, if the CFNA base were hit, the city of Whitehorse would probably not be destroyed, but would probably have to be abandoned due to radiation. I think I could accomodate that all right: it would mean that the famine in the 80s would be even worse, and technology would drop to even lower levels. At Yellowknife, however, the base is right in the middle of town and would disrupt your history more seriously if it were hit. Or maybe not... it largely parallels Yukon's in many ways, like the dispersal of city dwellers to smaller settlements. The biggest problem, though, would be the power vacuum created by a direct hit on the capital.

What do you think? Does the CFNA warrant changes to our histories? Or is it too small to be important? I know what an extremist I usually am on issues of canon, but in this case I feel like it was a huge oversight on my part. I totally failed to consider the strategic importance of the entire Canadian Arctic, an enormous area situated right between the USSR and USA. Benkarnell 14:12, October 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, I know there was no "need" to hit some of these targets, but really there was no need to do the whole war. The thinking of the nuclear strategists was to hit anything that might conceivably be of use.  My thinking is that these bases and coordinating stations were Canada's main presence in the Arcic, militarily.  Take them down, and Canada loses its ability to enforce its sovereignty there.  ...Would be the Soviets' thinking.  OK.  I'll think about this, but I really don't think they would leave the entire Arctic untouched.  And the obvious targets are Alert and the two territorial capitals.

 * All right, that will have to suffice for an explanation. I'm still not totally convinced (worst-case scenario, and all that), but your argument has the force of QSS behind it, and that will have to do.  I do think Station Alert is a clear target - it was just a listening post, but one that was important to detecting ICBMs and therefore part of the NATO bloc's overall ability to strategically respond.  ... I'd still like others to weigh in, though. Benkarnell 19:53, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Templates
I see. To tell you the truth I switched to the old version where the templates apparently still look good. I'm going to switch to the new version and see what the templates look like. Mitro 14:17, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * You are right, it does look bad. However I have seen the templates look that way at random times using the old skins.  Sometimes templates get warped because of issues with Wikia.  Do me a favor, hold off for at least 24 hours and if the templates still look like that maybe we can edit the template code to improve the look.  Mitro 14:21, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations
Congratulations, you are now a Constable in the TSPTF. This allows you to showcase the TSPTF membership badge on your user page. Furthermore it gives you the rollback power on this wiki. In the History page of an article you will notice a new option called "rollback". This is an anti-vandalism tool. It allows you to quickly undo edits in case someone has made more than one edit to a page. By clicking rollback it will immediately revert the article to a time before the offending editor edited the page. This is your most important duty. By agreeing to be a constable, you are promising to do your best to patrol for vandals and trolls.

When you get the chance, please go to the TSPTF page, and sign up for some responsibilities. In reality, none of us have the time to devote to all of the duties that are expected of an administrator of the wiki. You are expected, however, to sign up for at least three responsibilities listed in that section. These are duties that you are agreeing to carry out to the best of your ability every time you are on this wiki. I'm hoping that by doing this the members of the TSPTF can efficiently share the work load of the wiki and gives us time for the real reason we are here. Since you are only a constable and do not have the power to delete or block, do not feel obligated to sign up for any duties you do not have the powers to do.

Again, congratulations on being elected to the TSPTF and good luck. Mitro 14:09, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Constable
I would be honored. --XterrorX 01:36, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
