Siren's Senate Office (Virginia City, NV): Thanks for all the Fish

Some people are in this game for the offices and running the elections. Some people are here just to watch and vote in the elections. Some of the voters follow the AFE boards closely and others rely more on the party system or PM campaigns to remind them about the elections. There's nothing wrong with that. Those voters are just as important to Atlasia as everyone else, and it kills me when I see a lot of them fall of the rolls, cause I know they used to enjoy just voting in the elections and stuff. Hell, I started out Atlasia just planning to be a voter before I got seduced by the trappings of campaigns and look where it got me.

I've even seen some candidates complaining about "horrific turnout" when I know for a fact that they didn't even campaign to all the voters or ask for their votes. Maybe instead of blaming the voters, candidates should actually go to them, give them their pitch, and see what happens? There's nothing wrong with "zombie voters," and PM campaigns are nothing to be ashamed of. And frankly, the more people stop doing them, the faster this game is going to deteriorate into a clique of the most active people - that won't be a good thing.

Take that for what you will! Don't be afraid to run a full campaign with AFE board threads and PM messages to your voters. Talk to the zombies! They're not as scary as they sound, and a lot of them are more willing to vote for you than you think.

Just for the record, when I mentioned "horrific turnout" in passing, I wasn't deflecting the blame. In my case, I had a mass PM over the weekend that I sent too early on accident but since there were none listed in the "To" section, I don't think it went through. So it's my fault more than anything.

Gotcha. It can be tough to get the hang of. I still don't know how to send mass pms so I always just sent them individually lol. I didn't mean to single you out, but I guess I kind of did. FWIW, there's been lots of people that said things like that, and you definitely weren't the only person I didn't get a PM from. This round of of elections was pretty weak for my PM box. She says as her box fills with a million PMs 2 months from now.

It's not possible, the most you can put in a single PM is 5. You just have to send to a lot of people.

Exactly. Turns out it isn't that hard.

The census data is very useful. I just went down it and took names.
