Yes sir?

Typical man.  Calls my name out of the blue, and then never answers back when I respond. 

I'll assume you wanted my input on this, @Laurentus?

What do you think of my proposal, @Pengu?

What North said.

Well, I usually try to refrain from commenting too much on topics about myself. 

But overall it looks fine.  There is, this:

(b) The above list is not fully inclusive of Penhu's accomplishments, and

Also, I wouldn't exactly say that I was any sort of driving force for the RP sector.  That was all Laurentus, Sapphiron, and some of our active RP members.  I wouldn't feel right taking any credit whatsoever for any of the RP sector's success.

In replacement of that, talking about Werewolf would suffice.  It was my first game that I introduced to Wintreath and laid out all of the groundwork for, and as WW6 has shown, has still been a game that is very popular on here.

Not to mention Werewolf becoming quite an inter-regional hit. House Valeria wouldn't be here if it weren't for Werewolf.

It's also a great way for new people to break the ice in the region, and an instant way to make friends in the region.

Fair enough. I will amend the Act. Penhu :]

Thank you for getting my name right. 

Also North, the precedent of an active Paragon has already been set by Weissreich's return to the community.

But if I recall, he was made a Paragon before he became active again.

True, but he could often be seen lurking around beforehand.

Sorry that I hadn't replied before...work and all.

I share the concerns expressed by some others. Nothing against Pengu, who is someone I feel deserves every praise and reward possible, but the original purpose of Paragonhood/Honorary Citizenship was to memorialize important members of the community that for whatever reason could no longer be a part of NationStates. There is a precedent for people returning because of the fact that it would be an insult to strip someone of an honour just for being active again. I'm just not sure it's in good taste to memorialize someone who is still active in the community, and I hope Pengu can stay active with us for a long, long time.

We have so many other ways to recognize people that are active...Wintreath's Finest, Commendations, and the Nobility. I'm not sure why we need to begin memorializing our active members.

My response to that is that, at least in my humble opinion, all that may not be enough.

I mean, there's already a similar honor, the Commendation, that's pretty similar. It's basically the same thing except without the honorary citizenship.

Ah, but the honorary citizenship is a practical reward for hard work, which I feel Pengu deserves. Others are free to disagree, but I support this.
