Professor420 was in the past critical of former members of the [[Hexagon Council]], and argued that more power should be given to the [[Curia]].  However, he has reversed his position due to the concurrent factors of a Curia that has proved incapable of governing and a Hex that is functional, efficient, and avoiding of politics.  He has also proposed various fundamental structural changes to the Curia, such as opening it up to all members.

In early September of 2007, a [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=115984 bill] was passed that ensured a Civitate could retake his rank even after resigning from it, at any time. When Professor420 attempted this a controversy ensued--some argued he was not eligible for Civitateship due to his past warnings, while others argued he should be allowed in regardless. Not long after, the Black Prince, who was the incumbent Curator, resigned. An Election was launched and Professor420 was one of the two Candidates who applied, his application can be found [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=121284 here]. As the election ran its course, Professor420 was given a warning and was as a result brought before the CDeC. Just one day before the election was to end the CdeC passed judgement and he was suspended from citizenship for a week ([http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showpost.php?p=2224633&postcount=38 see here]). As a result he would technically not be able to immediately take office as Curator if he won the election.  Due to various issues tBP was unsure of how to act and posted a thread [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=124003 here] requesting clarification.

Shortly thereafter in an interesting decision by the incumbent curator, who claims to not be biased against Professor420, the vote was halted and Narses declared the winner. At that stage the vote was tied and various people had stated they had yet to vote.  The halting of the vote was apparently due to the technicality that Professor420 may not have been able to fulfil some of the duties expected of the curator during the 5 days remaining of his suspension of rank.  Various comments in the debate thread about the fact that curial officers could be expected to be absent for longer periods than this due to holidays were not countered.

And so I'll go alone, and as if no one else existed, I'll give my one life for God. What is the use of living among people blind to calamity and no longer capable of tackling the troubles on their hands? You are plundered without a protest, beaten without a murmur, witnesses of murder without one audible groan. What unbearable tyranny! But why blame the tyrants? Don't they owe their existence to you and your lack of spirit? Wasn't it you who shut your eyes when the first gang was first formed - a mere handful then - encouraged its growth by your silence, and by standing idly by while they were arming turned those arms against yourselves? The right thing would have been to nip their attacks in the bud when they were pouring abuse on your own flesh and blood; but by your utter indifference you encouraged these ruffians to plunder. When the houses were ransacked, nobody cared; so they seized their owners too, and dragged them through the middle of the City without anyone raising a finger to defend them. Next they flung into jail the men you had let down - I will not say how many or of what character. Uncharged, uncondemned, they were imprisoned without a soul coming to the rescue. The natural consequence was that these same men were seen murdered. We saw this too - they were like a herd of dumb animals from which the best victims were dragged away one by one; yet not a murmur was uttered, not a hand raised! Take it calmly then, take it calmly, when you watch your Sanctuary trampled underfoot. You yourselves built every one of the steps by which these sacrilegious wretches have climbed so insolently; do not grumble if they have reached the top. Why, by now they would have undoubtely have reached still dizzier heights, if there had been anything greater than the Sanctuary to destroy!
