When does this close?

As soon after 8.47am Eastern tomorrow as I'm able to get online.  While the thread is locked, you'll be unable to edit your posts.


By the way, I'm loving the 'internal polls' you guys are 'publishing'. 

Will edits after that time be counted? Or will everything be counted up until you close the thread?

[Purple State]

5 campaign, 25 bonus

This is more than you have Xahar. You can only escalate to as high as you had at the beginning of the round. Recent donations don't count.

The latter.  I can't really prevent people editing posts before the thread is locked, and if I were to try and enforce it, I wouldn't know what their post contained before they edited it.

I'll let these results sink in before announcing the start of the next stage.

I believe your math is off and I come in second.

7670 + 3068 - 1534 = 9104 (you did + rather than -).

Damn, I had a phantom number in my spreadsheet.  Give me a minute to recalculate.


Okay, it's been corrected.  I apologize for the error.

[Purple State]

So Xahar tries to double cross me and ends up losing more credits than he would have otherwise. I am genuinely amused.

EDIT: Joe, could you make rounds end closer to 11pm in the future, that way Xahar can actually sleep (someone went to bed at 5:30am last night for a game)? Also, if we could avoid Friday night (after 4pm) ends for primaries, that would be appreciated for religious reasons.

[Хahar 🤔]

Oh, yay.

[HappyWarrior]

3rd place, alot better than I was expecting lol

No problem.  Due to the latter request, if I start the next stage tonight, I'll finish it on Saturday morning instead, which will give you all just over three days.  Unless all candidates post instructions beforehand, that is.

Friday night and Saturday day (until 5:30pm or so) is all the Sabbath. If it's too difficult to accommodate it's fine.

[Хahar 🤔]

I didn't go to bed at 5:30. I happened to wake up at 5:30, changed the totals, and went back to sleep.

Pardon my ignorance.    I don't mind extending the next round for another day or so.  Again, if everybody posts early, I can close it early, so it won't matter anyway.

[Purple State]

5 campaign tokens, 10 bonus tokens.

10 attack tokens against Xander Xiao.

[Хahar 🤔]

5 campaign, 24 bonus

[HappyWarrior]

5 campaign tokens

[Kaine for Senate '18]

4 campaign tokens, and 4 bonus tokens.

[Joe Republic]

4 campaign tokens; and are we only allowed to have as many bonus tokens as we have regular tokens?

There's no limit to the number of bonus and attack tokens you can buy, but don't forget that you won't have the chance to reclaim them as credits like you potentially can with campaign tokens.

Also, after the first four stages, there won't be a limit to the number of campaign tokens you can buy either.

[Shilly]

Five campaign tokens.
