Two decisions in Feb 2011 referendum declared null and void

Due to the closeness of the result, Robert Longtin has ordered a re-vote on the following two items:

"Every Coordinator is required to select a deputy prior to the voting period of an election."
"Coordinators are required to announce their deputies during the campaigning period, prior to the voting period of any Election in which they are running for office."

They will not now apply for the March 2011 elections.

February 2011 Referendum Results

The February referendum results have been announced.

The key decisions taken were:

• The creation of Deputy Coordinator positions in Phoenix Roleplaying.
• Sim Leaders being allowed to set their own AWOL policies.
• A clarification of the issue created last month over canon characters; regular players of a sim may not use canon characters, although Sim Leaders can.

With our second elections imminent, the requirement to chose "running mates" for Coordinator candidates will add an interesting extra dimension to the contest.

Phoenix Roleplaying reaches Number 4 on Roleplay Market

On Thursday, I added Phoenix Roleplaying to Roleplay Market's links list.

Since then, it has acquired a rating score of 177 and is currently 4th in the chart, above such giants of the RPG community as Darths & Droids and Giant in the Playground.

This score is only slightly inflated by us being new (by about 28, I believe), being mostly determined by ratings, following the link to us (I've done that, so that adds 7) and votes.

Clearly a lot of people like us!
