That is sad. I like it when it is mentioned since then I think, wow people are discussing me well I'm gone.

Also unrelated, the real reason somy must win is so I don't have to click a button to unendorse him XD.

Oh, you should totally be Delegate, then.

Relatedly, there are only a few hours left of the Delegate election and, whilst it would be unrealistic to expect people's opinions to be Unaffected by the recent DM campaigning issue, I would urge everyone who had any uncertainty about who to vote for to press both candidates on the issues related to actually being Delegate and to decide on that basis.

I continue to not be voting as I'm confident that both candidates would do an excellent job and, indeed, would put my meagre efforts to shame. I look forward to being so ashamed be either of them.

Good luck oh alphabetically ascendant Aumeltopia and Roavin!

That is laziest reason to support a candidate. I disagree with your choice, but not your reasoning.

Home now, so I have a few minutes of computer time.

The LegComm stuff is pretty much out in the open at this point and everybody (except Islands) is on the same page wrt how it went down.

Agalaesia wrote:Secondly, you indirectly accuse Aumeltopia and IoU of Smear campaigning, however, -snip- Could you also provide clarity on the above metioned questions? Thanks.

To be fair to Somy, it was pretty much Islands' doing - all Somy did was ask the question (which is fair, see below). Islands was messaging a bunch of people with a screenshot from that group (specifically https://i.imgur.com/SOCMFC8.png ) and encouraging people to vote RON.

Drystar wrote:I have this ask, since I don’t frequent our forums, but does this kind of stuff happen there often? I can’t speak for the rest of the rmb crew, but these last minute exposes make me disgruntled.

Drystar wrote:This whole little surprise reminds me of elections pre Milograd, when there were allegations thrown about left and right about how the older nations had a lock on all politics, and the younger nations couldn’t get heard. I’d thought TSP had outgrown that bs.

It's pretty much a thing again ever since Islands showed up, who came into the region with a big populist anti-establishment message, reaching out to newer nations, and getting ridiculously close in his first election because of it. That I and a few other people thought this was suspicious and reeked of a plant trying to subvert things shouldn't be a surprise.

Quiescent wrote:If there was concern Roavin acted inappropriately, it should have been publicly addressed earlier in the process.

And the record shows that I really don't mind responding to public criticism. It's when it's in the backrooms and I can't respond to it that it bugs me.

Aumeltopia wrote:Roavin later told people that the reason he didn't add Islands to the chat was because he was concerned that Islands might be a security risk..... but he told no one else in the chat about those suspicions, instead deciding to keep them to himself and make the decision without explaining anything. Combined with the gloating-like posts, I was definitely under the impression that he was just refusing to add Islands out of spite (they had already had an ongoing feud by that point).

Yup, that matches my presumption from earlier:

Roavin wrote:Yeah I wasn't as clear with my reasoning as I should have. I presume because of that, Somy thought it was me being petty over Islands winning that election rather than legitimate concern.

So - yes, mea culpa, I should have said something there at the time.

Aumeltopia wrote:I think shows that he does have trouble with real transparency -- letting people know about things that are relevant for them but he thinks could be better done without consultation, just by him alone. That's not something new; it's a part of who he is that I've seen in multiple places while working with him.

I wouldn't say it's like that by default, but I've done that several times so it's fair criticism. That makes two of us at least :P

Agalaesia wrote:In reality, the whole election has been tarnished. I'm shocked with the proceedings today, and I really hope this won't influence the elections too much. I see that both parties have responded with their characteristic aplomb. Roavin has decided to smear campaign, and this will damage him politically, and Islands has also decided to smear campaign. Trust me, none of you will get of Scot free.

I did everything in the open and I didn't lie about anything. >_>

But yeah, I liked how the election was going up until today. It was close, nobody knew how things were going to go, it was 98% positive campaigning on both sides by two candidates with immense respect for each other, and now ... this.

I’m not unendorsing any one, that requires work and we’ve already established I don’t do that

Thank you.

Well at the beginning it looked like Somy was easily gonna win so I endorsed him in preparation.
Not gonna be as easy for Somy as I thought.

Don't leave

A part of me wants to vote just to create a tie...

Ahhh last minute election corruption, intrigue and scandals..... It's like watching an LC election all we're missing is a penguin and/or a goddess and a half dozen court cases on the forums.

What size of marshmallows? What brand? And what colour/color?
And no google don't auto-correct colour to color.

This almost makes me want to run for LC... but that would require work

The affair does cast a pall over things. If Aumeltopia wins, it may be due to Islands.

So...we should just call the whole thing off and keep Erinor.

Nope. As much as I love Erinor, let’s keep our democratic process please.
Also, if Roa wins, it might be due to Islands too; I know a couple people have switched their Somy votes because of him.

Quiescent, Erinor, and Spaceania

Honestly, I don't mind losing. I thought I was going to lose anyway and am amazed it even got this close!

Somy would/will make a fine Delegate.

Democracy? Screw democracy. Let's make Auphelia our queen and turn TSP into a monarchy.

Democracy is the river. I wish that we meet this discord all with congeniality and integrity, for we must uphold our democratic ideals.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
