News and Updates:

New questions responses up! Tibicen's 17 questions are here, and the fencing questions are here.

I've added all of the resume's that I've gotten so far. Most resumes were submitted as text documents, which I've converted into HTML, and in doing so I've tried to be as true to the original document as possible. In part that means that the more formatting in the text document, the more formatting I put into the HTML document. If you are a candidate and would like your resume or its formatting changed in any way, email me (Contact Information Deleted).

The Council will be voting on the candidates at the December meeting (12/3). See more information on the Election Process. For more general information on the election, along with links to other pages like this one, see the Seneschale's main page.
