Q: Probably just my own stupidity on this system, but why if CultureKing and Xahar tied is CK elected?

[Хahar 🤔]

I am perplexed as to why Al threw Xahar under the bus, and even more perplexed that Moderate preferenced CultureKing second

I think it's fair to say that Lewis likes me more than Al does. As for Moderate, he's been beholden to the JCP for some time now.

Yes, clearly, my squeaker of a general election victory and teetering 80%+ approval ratings make me completely and totally beholden to Massa Bgwah.

I didn't say it made sense, now did I?

Q: Probably just my own stupidity on this system, but why if CultureKing and Xahar tied is CK elected?

CK got to 9 votes before Xahar did.  That's the tie breaker.

[Torie]

Sorry if you lost Xahar. You would have been a great senator. I owed you, but that is not the main reason I voted for you, frankly.

But I am also proud to serve my region with CK. He is not a bot to any faction, I don't think. I like and prefer free and independent spirits.

So it turned out to be my own stupidity

also, how in the hell did I get elected? Were there butterfly ballots or something?

Nobody hates you.

Except me.

Except Xahar.

     By my count, here's the new partisan breakdown (going off of Jas's list of winners):

NLC 3 (-2)
RPP 2 (+1)
SDP 2 (+1)
Indies 2 (+1)
JCP 1 (0)

     Huge loss for the NLC in this election.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Also conservatives showed they still matter! (at least for one seat )

[Sensei]

     By my count, here's the new partisan breakdown (going off of Jas's list of winners):

NLC 3 (-2)
RPP 2 (+1)
SDP 2 (+1)
Indies 2 (+1)
JCP 1 (0)

     Huge loss for the NLC in this election.

on paper, the NLC should have a few more winners.

Not to mention, Sensei, that you were their lone winner and you joined the party after declaring candidacy.  I guess this could be seen as a big win for the AUB

[Хahar 🤔]

It looks like the NLC is getting squeezed.

NLC 3 (-2)
RPP 2 (+1)
SDP 2 (+1)
Indies 2 (+1)

     Huge loss for the NLC in this election.

And, based on last election's ideological breakdown:
(Old: EarlAW, ColinW, Afleitch, Culture King, and Rocky)

Conservatives: 1 (+1)
Moderates: 3 (–1)
Liberals: 1 (nc)

     By my count, here's the new partisan breakdown (going off of Jas's list of winners):

NLC 3 (-2)

Despite his indy registration, I've always considered Jas an honorary NLCer since he won the NLC endorsement for President in the Feb 08 Presidential election.  Culture King may be a JCPer, but he was moderate enough to be one of the only people to uphold my DP veto.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Conservatives: 1 (+1)

LOL

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

It looks like the NLC is getting squeezed.

Well, there was a massive influx of new voters since the June 08 election, and most of them were RPPers.

When conservatives fail to band behind a candidate, their votes almost always default to the NLC.  DWTL successfully consolidated their votes this time.

PiT = awesome , if we had run two candidates we probably would have been smoked, and running 3 there's no way we could have even gotten close to 1

Never say AUB and "win" in the same sentence, because it couldn't possibly be accurate if you did.

I'm pretty sure me and CultureKing are both liberals.

[Хahar 🤔]

I think that one candidate was probably your ceiling, but you wouldn't have had a problem running two, considering your discipline in giving me preferences.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Possibly, but we probably couldn't have if we wanted to.  At the time the candidate declartion deadline came, there were really only 4 of us, Duke and SPC have positions and I offered PiT a spot on the ballot that he declined in favor of running in October

Yeah, it probably would've been useless.

[ilikeverin]

Congrats to 4 of the winners!

     My Ballot - Senate (according to Jas)
#1 Jas          - DWTL
#2 Al            - Jas
#3 DWTL      - Al
#4 Sensei    - Sensei
#5 Xahar     -  CultureKing

I feel like I should be getting a prize for this

I picked up a surprise 1st preference for Spade and a surprisingly high 3rd from MAS and ILV.  I don't see many more votes for me (Duke is really the only sure thing), but I think I can squeak this out anyway.

"Surprisingly"?  Did you read the post creating my current political party at all?

Well I did read the one about you saying the SSP had nothing to do with yours

Yes; that was rather like a socialist party overreacting to the creation of a communist party because it does not wish to be lumped in with it Our views on federalism are almost entirely the same, except that you supported succession.

     That's alright. You're welcome to affiliate with the RPP so we can pool our resources to achieve our common goal.

No, as there seems to be constant agitation within the party to add conservative elements to the platform, which I naturally oppose

I'll probably end up disbanding my own party and forming an interest group, though, which I hope to use to work closely with you in the future.

[Хahar 🤔]

Why has the Antifederalist Coalition becaome a hotbed of federalism?

Because right now the only member is a part of the "Abolish the national government" faction and thus rabidly opposes any attempts to impinge upon the holy sanctity of the regions!!!!!111~!`11~!~11!!!~1~1~!11!1
