Ascension Address: Ascension Address

All Travellers within a 10 billion second radius from 1419/11/26 16:12:44 are to report to that time immediately.  I know many of you are on important assignments, but your presence is needed here.  I have just accomplished the rather trivial task of ensuring that the Abbot of the Badia a Passignano passed away at precicely the correct microsecond; but as I was working on this task, many things were happening around me that I had not forseen, although I should have been able to.  There are indications that some malicious force is at work here, attempting to cause a paradox of great magnitude; but I cannot identify the source of the trouble.  I can only hope that you, as humans, are able to help me thwart this force—I find myself quite weakened after making even a casual investigation.  You are all to follow orders of Angry Grasshopper, Bucky, Da Vinci, Excalabur, Gabriel, Greth, Kevan, Purplebeard, ShadowClaw, TAE, Thelonious, and Thorolf, in addition to myself—Each of these Travellers has proven emself quite competent in the field of paradox prevention.

And so we begin.

What happens to all the old pending proposals?  Do they fall?  If not, perhaps our arbiter of time would like to veto them all?  Most of them don’t even make sense any more.

Also, is their any way to clear all the old cruft off the front page of the blog - leaving just the DoV + this address?

Nope.  You get a rolling 7 days worth of stuff.

And old props may be, or may not be, vetoed.

I veto‘d all the Monastery Dynasty-specific proposals.  For the rest, it should be noted that Hiatus lasted 13 hours.
