For those who have already heard this announcement I am sorry to repeat it, but it is apparent that many of you did not.
So:
I stand before you on the virtual steps of the virtual rostrum to in for over-whitened toga *cough* too much chalk, to inform you that I will stand for the office of Censor.
For those who do not know me, I am Quintus Fabius Maximus, a Patrician and Paterfamilias of Gen Fabi.
I have occupied all the offices of the Cursus Honorum, save this one.
I have also had the honor of being appointed the Curule Aedileship by the dictator, for services to Nova Roma, something I believe has never happened to any other citizen.
I am knowledgeable about things Roman (and Greek and Byzantine for that matter), I am a Senator, Pontiff and Proconsul of CAL, but that is really not what the office of censor is about. The censor in Nova Roma is all about internet access so the censor may carry out his duties.
I have a Pent IV PC with DSL at home. I have a wireless laptop which I wrote this message on while I'm the air, and I will send it from a cell phone node when I change planes for departure to Florence. If that is not enough I also have a Blackberry comm. device to that always allows me to be truly mobile, I'll am able to check messages and reply to potential members, even on location, away from my desk.
Being a censor in Nova Roma is akin to walking a tightrope between the tradition of Old Rome and the changes necessary to maintain the New Rome. I believe that I am uniquely equipped to do both and will if I am fortunate to receive your vote.
Thank you for listening.
