I've had sigs disabled for a very long time. Made the whole thing with people telling me to resign via their sigs kinda pointless.

Details on how to nominate, send your thoughts to nominations(at)nationstates.net

Somewhat surprised by the lack of interest in nominating people. We've received a nomination or two, but I would have thought y'all would jump on the opportunity to subvert the team.

Just because we let Sedge in doesn't mean you should lose all hope.

Wait, gameplay changes? Does this mean we might be getting new categories requiring new rules in the SC?

???

Technically, I was the one who suggested Sedge should be a mod, so I'm to blame... or rather Sedge is to blame... or....

You nominated Sedge, Sedge nominated me... you are to blame for not only bringing me into gameplay, but ultimately me becoming a mod. How you sleep at night is beyond me :p

To answer your question though: yes we're looking to inject some life into the SC and having a mod who knows it well who wants to lead the charge would be helpful.

That is the hope. It's long overdue, but I don't have the time to push for that given that most of my time is spent on issues now.
