Years ago, after the debacle with ESB and his fake Talossan citizens, Vitxalmour Conductour and I came up with an idea that was basically a parody of the Kentucky Colonels thing... the Noble Order of the Corncob. (One of Eiric's fake citizens was a character named Benedict (can't for the life of me recall the last name) who's CoA had a corncob on it. For some reason, that inspired this dumb idea.)) The Order would exist to honor citizens of (then) Benito who had contributed significantly to the province.
Well, I've decided to revive this idea, and would like to announce that we've selected a few Belacostans to be honored as "Kernels" in this society. They are free to reject the honor, and I wouldn't blame them.
Firstly, Istefan Pertgonest. Once my rival (during a Senate campaign), never really a friend (just never got to know him very well), but a Benitian/Belacostan worthy of every honor possible for his contributions to our province. He isn't very active on Witt anymore, but he is still around, and anytime he shows up, it feels like a big piece of our province has returned.
Secondly, Sir Lüc. Lüc has been the most prominent representative of Belacosta for a long time. He has done a fine job. He also spurred the creation of the Cjovani subculture. (Which he may possibly regret.) (Da Schir Day is a holiday in our calendar.) Nothing further needs to be said about Lüc, everyone knows how cool he is.
Third, and lastly, Mic'haglh Autófil. A newer member of Belacosta, he's done more than enough to earn membership in this elite society. His contributions to both Belacosta and Talossa in general makes me ashamed at how lame my own contributions have been.
We welcome these fine gentlemen to the Noble Order of the Corncob. They may now add "NOC" at the end of their names. (That's "Noble Order Corncob".)
There is a logo and a full constitution for this Order available to members, if they desire to look at it. There are no obligations or weird things you have to do as a member. It is honorary, and you are free to accept it or reject it as you will.

"Active" is one of those matters of definition, you know. I certainly don't
post a lot, but I do visit Witt pretty much daily, with the Belacosta forum being one of a handful I always check for the new message indicator.
