I'd be interested in this.

When I was elected as the party leader and Seneschal candidate of the Progressive Alliance, I felt a little nervous.  It's been a very long time since I was at the top of the ballot, and I often feel more comfortable as a workhorse: building things like Infoteca or the basics of TalossaWiki.  þerxh started a tiny new party and made it a powerhouse -- could I rise to the occasion and continue that?

We're in the final week of the election, and we don't know the results right now.  But I want to say that I think we're going to do well, and that ultimately it won't be because of me.  It will be because of our amazing team.  And whatever happens, I want to take a moment to thank them directly and publicly.  Win or lose, they deserve nothing but praise and respect.

@þerxh Sant-Enogat ,  @xpb , @Tric'hard Lenxheir , @Françal I. Lux , @mximo , and @Baroness Litz Cjantscheir, UrN-GC ... thank you so much.  Some of you come from very different political traditions, but all of you have contributed in some way to this election.  Thank you to those who have been campaigning for us and our vision of Talossa.  Thank you for your courage -- it's not easy to be part of the crew that refuses to "hit back!"  And thank you for your trust.

For a long time, I was one of the most progressive members of the most conservative party, which was always a weird place to be.  But it turns out to be perfect for the Progressive Alliance.  We're demanding important reforms to change the status quo, but we refuse to pave the way with the corpses of our institutions.  It turns out that both things are important.  And of course, our party culture is vital: volunteerism and positivity.  These are the things with which we will build Talossa's future.

And all of that comes from our extraordinary founder and our extraordinary member-leaders.  It comes from you guys.

Thank you, Progressives.  And let's move Talossa forward, together!

I've played tennis since I was young and have been thinking of other areas where we might expand the trend in fantasy Talossan sports. Are there enough tennis fans to support a fantasy competition? I figure it would be around the major tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open) with the first one (Australian Open) starting in January.

Looks like FanSlam could be a good site.

Sort of surprising how perfectly symmetrical things are, but I guess that makes sense if multiple teams were auto-drafted (mine was and obviously the computer-managed team was, that's at least two)

Here are the week seven results.

Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis def. Manager-less Team 1 290.80-244.90
Els Talossaes Rexhitais def. Cézembrean Amateurs on Ice 303.90-171.80

Tigreux dal Belacostă def. Maricopa Havana Hijinks 319.30-239.40
Vuode Villains def. Banqeu da Cézembre Zambonis 332.90-231.90

Here are the standings after week seven.

1. Tigreux dal Belacostă (4-2-0) 2,021.90
2. Vuode Villains (4-2-0) 2,006.70

Finally here is this weeks schedule.

Keep an eye on those injuries and make sure you are starting your best lineup and getting at least three starts from your goalies each week to give yourself the best possible chance of winning this week! Good luck everyone!!!

1. Elections to the 62nd Cosă: Progressive Alliance (PROG)

I'd be down to play too! The only Star Trek game I've played is the old Star Trek Armada but this would probably be fun too.

Tankyou

Two existing citizens have to petition for your citizenship. The earliest date this can happen is tomorrow.
