We need a sponsor.

[Lumine]

I'll sponsor.

24 hours for objections.

[Lumine]

I'd strongly second what has been said by Poirot, Ninja, Tmth and others. With respect to both contenders in the recently finished election, having dozens of people sent into the game for the sole purpose of voting was neither responsible nor healthy for the game, and the last thing we need to do is to legitimize such ways of playing the game by lowering already generous requirements.

[Lumine]
