Professor420
Professor420 was formerly a Civitates, Artifex, and Patrician, but resigned his rank when he lost hope with the current state of the Curia. He did receive the rank of Opifex during the Team Opifex awards, however. He has been repeatedly suspended for various activities, mostly for brief times only.
Modding Career
Prof was for two years the art director of the Fourth Age: Total War-modification, until he resigned his position in order to make his own next-generation video game; Blood & Iron. Development has now stopped, but tech demos can be downloaded from his site at [1].
After resigning from Fourth Age: Total War, Prof has created a series of Video Tutorials for modelling Rome: Total War units in 3DS Max.
Views on the Curia
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.
Return to Curia and Curator election
In early September of 2007, a bill was passed that ensured a Civitate could retake his rank even after resigning from it, at any time. When Prof 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 present Curator, resigned. An Election was launched and Prof was one of the two Candidates, his application can be found here. As the election ran its course, Prof flamed and was as a result brought before the CDeC. Just one day before the election was to end-Prof was striped of his rank. As a result he was technically disqualified from the Election.
