Arts you say? Sounds interesting.
Before you arrived I was the hyperactive dude for a while too, but even before knowing what was going on, I was recluted by the same guy who recluted you and had to quit everything later on, tricky little thing, politics.
I am always interested in how that citizen was so good at "recluting" people when the Free Democrats couldn't, even when approaching newbies right out of the immigration queue - but I suppose where all that ended up with the current "TNC potato sack" breaking. It's harder to recruit to a party of principle but it means a more resilient party in the long run.
QuoteIt's a good idea to stay out of politics, but having a seat in the Cosa is kind of fun. If you can afford the $10 dollars, making your own party seems fun, isn't it?
It is kind of fun, but it also means you become a "main character" in politics, with people from all sides lobbying you for your vote, to join their coalition, etc, and you make enemies as fast as you make friends. This is why we brought in the provision for "1 seat for new citizens", to bring in a low-stakes way to start in politics. For some reason people have just not been interested in that. Wild, as 1 seat in the last Cosa would have changed everything.

I think this info should be added to the New Citizen Guide, provided to new citizens.
When I Joined I had no idea what the Cosa was and didn't understand why would I care about one seat in it; now I'm spending 2 coffees worth of money for 1 seat.

1 vote will get you at least 2, maybe 3 seats!

I know that I mentioned this as an option when I talked with new citizens. I don't know if it continued after I was MinImm. That may be why its use declined. But I am still glad to have co-sponsored the legislation and hope it will be used more in the future.
That provision is criminally underutilized. Would be a lot of fun to see newer citizens taking advantage of it in the future!

For sure -- we've had a couple people do it, but it probably needs promotion again. Maybe we need a quickstart guide for them added to the What's Going On page?

May also be worth the MinImm -- whether the incumbent or their successor -- making a note of alerting them to its existence once they've been naturalized.

Yes, I agree. That was done for a couple of months, and it had great success. We should get back to it.

Good idea. Where's the text ? I think we owe a clear information to new citizens being proposed a seat in the Cosa, explaining we forbid broosking and that there are risks of political pressure when voting.
If the proliferation of new parties isn't a call for me to get back to doing Talomat, I don't know what is.
Ah, I am happy to see the PdR is back.

Interesting note from Day 1 of voting. Nearly a third of all votes so far from the province of Maricopa alone. The cabana is rocking with 7 votes already on Day 1.
Remember to vote people!
(On the Talossan Music Top 20 Semifinal (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3199.msg27919#msg27919) I mean. The General Elections are also important I guess.)

That's because Maricopa is the best province. (Says a Maricopan that has not voted yet lol)

I believe it now. Maricopa is still in the lead for voters at 14(!)
The nacho-shaped province and the one with vowels, Florencia and Maritiimi-Maxhestic, are unfortunately tied with the lowest turnout of just 6 voters.

Is turnout normally this low?

Usually a bit higher but we still have a few days to go.

With additional votes coming in from Florencia and Vuode, Maritiimi-Maxhestic now has the worst turnout in raw numbers staying at just 6 voters.

I'm sad this didn't happen. The last one certainly contributed to political discussions.
I haven't paid much attention this election to be honest, but is just me or have all parties other than FreeDems and OpenSociety run a pretty invisible campaign last couple of weeks? Would have been interesting to get a mail from the Progs Coffee or PDR as well I suppose.
Anyway, if you happen to be on witt for the elections, go vote on TMT20 in the chatroom as well!

I've sent one but haven't heard back from it and I haven't received one from any party ever even if my e-mail is up there. Maybe I wasn't their target? Idk

With just over 24 hours till polls close turnout is 88, just short of last time's 95

I didn't get it either if it was sent to the Chancery for distribution.
Wouldn't be surprised if, given the SoS's current personal difficulties, he missed something

I have seen only campaign emails from FreeDems and OPEN. Braneu asked me in a PM about the email list for party leaders, and he indicated he had found the list.
QuoteOk I got it by looking it up in the database "List of party voters for Party Leaders".
No email was sent to me with one for me to send out.

I did not miss anything. If an email was sent it was sent to the wrong email address.
