    Too bad George declined as so many wanted to see him as the Rat Of The Month.

    Gentlemen, we want a BROTM for October. Someone who will want to play the game and contribute interesting and fun posts.

        I would like to recommend Bluedog225 for BROTM for October. I find him a well mannered, positive poster. I bet he would do well.

        Thoughts?

          I'd volunteer, but regretfully I am on too many 'ignore' lists and would be unable to reach out to many forumites.

                      I thought drinking was a requirement for BROTM?

                        I'm sorry. That just strikes me as funny!

                          Should there be an FBI* investigation for BROTM?

                            Brothers and sisters

                            I am sincerely flattered. I must confess that I have only recently dipped a toe into these ... waters (insert your own adjective). And, to the best of my recollection, I have never opened or participated in a BROTM thread. Note, I have in the distant past enjoyed an adult beverage and the years have not been kind to my marginally adequate memory. Therefore, I have no idea how to carry out the duties of the office. Provocateur, peace maker, mediator?

                            Furthermore, I have not yet been banned and I was under the impression that at least one such event was a prerequisite.

                            And having recently expressed a number of opinions that have driven some of our members into fits of incoherent rage, I fear my appointment would further divide or ranks at a time when greater empathy and understanding are needed most.

                            All that is to say, I lack even the basic qualifications to serve and there is little chance that I would survive the confirmation process.

                            Amish Rob seems like the visionary we need. He is firmly grounded in his beliefs and well-loved by all.

                            Kind regards

                              Amish Rob was a great BROTM but we need some new blood in the game and many of of us think you will do great as the BROTM of October. Just keep posting as you do and start new positive threads .

                                Day one he was declared Emperor For Life, by himself, of course. Brilliant move, really. Lifetime appointment, right off the bat.

                                I had no idea what the BROTM even was. It’s whatever you want it to be. Sometimes it will continue for consecutive months...

                                Really, it’s a great excuse to get folks to contribute threads, because everyone has something unique and special to contribute, other than the usual, eh?

                                To wit, I will endorse your selection as BROTM. Official Imperial Decree, even, for what that’s worth.

                                Peace,
                                Emperor For Life
                                YOU are an amazing, lovely person. <3
