NU PLAZA
Where folks are voted in for a term of office!
m
In the beginning (technically, WAYYY after the beginning AND the end, by many days) Narv created the plaza anew, and Uruva and Sil both laughed and then became filthy enablers of his wizardry. Emboldened by their hilarity and mocking wonderment, Narv gave them great power to Try Things Out, Have A Go and Be Careful Not To Break It.

Our first admin team
@Narv @Sil @Uruva
Praise them with great praise!
,
It worked to some extent - you can see from the Hard Truths thread that some things needed a few goes - but it was all very behind the scenes and the lotrplaza has a Will of its own. It betrayed ... no, wrong monologue (hopefully!) In any case, on 13th/14th May 2020 the doors were flung open and plazaites from the near and far past gathered to stare in awe - the Blessed Realm was once again within the Circles of the World.

Once this NuPlaza was stable, changing servers and seeming to become a viable time-sink hobby for many folk once again, these fine folk with the buttons decided the time was ripe for democracy to reign supreme, and the membership to choose its own administrators, who would hold a fixed term of office (presumably defeating nepotism, power grabs and absenteeism in one fell swoop).

We should probably get them to write biographies. Short ones. :fence:

I feel like an honorary mention should go to @Uruva who was admin from May until June with me and Narv, more or less by virtue of Narv’s late-night confession about Plaza and us laughing hysterically at him but then encouraging him to Make It A Thing and we would Totally Help Out or some other lie along those lines

This is a good point. She should write a biography too.

Are we going to keep a record of the NuPlaza special and tribute ranks here or in a separate thread? Are we going to keep a record at all? Asking out of curiosity :-)

Nice idea, Nessa - go for it! I renamed this thread accordingly.

(Of course, saying that, I don't have Mojo's icon saved ... we shall have to beg tptb for the original.)

No seriously, This is something quite dear to my heart. My weird weird OCD heart.

Since you've named them weirdly with the recipients' names (sorry :lol: (but that might change if people have the desire to choose the same one) I'll um ... save them myself. Thank you though. :smooch:

@Lirimaer or @anyone

is there any chance you could make another 'Admin' icon for me but with a low ranking hobbit pipe instead of a sauron eye?

no particular reason

just curious

@Lirimaer Tried to message you on Discord, but seems you aren't on there anymore :( Would you like your avatar/icon threads moved to the Library? You can still keep a master thread here and we can move the rest. Up to you :)

Um ... do what you like! Seems reasonable to have it out of that area.

Am I not on discord anymore? I wonder why.

Pffft you're also ignoring that Elwing is also referred to as a mantle. :rasp: :rasp: :rasp:

Who also is a first for being worn in an an adminish capacity that I'm aware of (I mean maybe there was a COLP Elwing??? I don't think so though) :smooch:

Yes, but Elwing as an admin mantle sounds very regal and dignified :tongue: While Mantle of a Fool of a Took on the other hand :tongue: :lol:

@Nessa Saelind :lol: Okay I do have to give you that. but I feel like Admin, Mod, Thing. Is possibly worse worse? I'm not entirely sure.

That said I have a few other select words for it but I feel like they are not Plaza censored and I don't want to test that.
