Overview
Mimirswell is a Council Member and Administrator of Total War Center. He is contributions to the forum largely reside within the Curia, Common Community, particularly the Vestigia Vetustatis, Staff and Technical Staff.
Early Membership
On 23 November, 2005 an interesting topic in the Vestigia Vetustatis convinced Mimirswell to register and post for the first time after lurking for some time. The positive feedback as well as a private conversation with Valus would have Mimirswell continue posting at a frequent rate within the VV. His posting focused between posting in the Historical Quiz Thread as well as numerous posts on Roman and Hellenic history. These included:
- TWC Historic Society: Mithradates VI Eupator
- Speculation on Alcibiades and Epaminondas
- Defense of Alcibiades
- Syracuse in the Peloponesian Wars
- Disposition of the Achaemenian army and its defeat by the Greeks
- TWC Historic Society: Heraclius
- Greek Colonies - Oasis Polis
- History of the Gladius
- Genealogy of the Phoenicians
- Profession officers in the Roman Army
- The Roman Budget between 200BCE and 157BCE
- Byzantine Influence on the Medieval West
These along with an eclectic mix of threads throughout the Thema Devia resulted in Mimirswell being patronized by Valus and confirmed as a Civitate on 13 January, 2006. As part of a pledge Mimirswell made in his Civitate post, he formed the short lived Thoth Society.
The Curia
On 14 January, 2006 Mimirswell entered the Curia and began a series of reforms to change the structure of the staff and constitution. His first post in the Prothalamos outlined an aggressive change to the Staff system that would allow non-citizens to join staff and upon retiring be citizens. Though this idea failed to gain much momentum Mimirswell was undeterred. Proposals that Mimirswell sponsored and/or drafted between 13 January and March 12, 2006:
- Senatorii for CP's Amendment
- Revision of Syntagma: Magisterial Elections
- Revision of Syntagma: Laws
- Legislation Act Revision Bill
- Syntagma Pro-Curator Bill
- Imperator Veto Revision Bill
- Revision of Syntagma: Citizen Classes
Perhaps the most important Bill that Mimirswell espoused during this time was the formation of the Consilium de Civitate. Initially proposed by [Wild Bill Kelso]], Mimirswell adopted the proposal after Wild Bill Kelso had grown weary of debating it. Though it took two proposals and four months, it passed. It was also during this time that he first advocating the Medal/Award System that is used today. The lack of ON support prevented it from being installed for over a year.
As a result of his near ubiquitous presence within the Prothalamos, Justinian, the newly elected Republican Consul appointed Mimirswell as Pro-Curator on 13 March, 2006. A day before, after two failed attempts, Mimirswell was chosen as Urbanis Legio of the VV.
