It was my first time but I think we ran a positive campaign asking Talossans to be kind and consider a future of possibility in the Kingdom. Thank you to the voters who responded to our campaign with their support. Thank you to all Talossans who took the time to consider the parties and candidates and participate in our democracy. Thank you to the other parties for mostly running campaigns about ideas to solve problems and create a safe and fun Talossa.

I am chatting with party members in Discord should we be asked to contribute.

For those who missed the discord broadcast:

Welp, there go my good feelings about this leg of Season 5 for the Posse. It was nice while it lasted though.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on Today at 11:40:42 AMThe Electoral Commission has been contacted to proceed with certification of the election results. I will update the citizenry on certification status as necessary.

Because of the large winning margins, I advise @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu , @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be and @Eðo Grischun to start making arrangements about paying the $5 Senate winner's fee to the Treasury, so they can be seated immediately after the election is certified.

I have made a $10 "donation" via the main website's donation function. 
Payment should appear in the Kingdom's PayPal from my English name on 2 Sep.

Stage 11   »   Cartagena  ›  Lorca

As predicted, today ended in a bunch sprint. Brennan (GHS/BDC/MAN) won his third stage. Van Aert (CHX/CJO) continued to 5th place after his leadout. Albanese (CJO/DED), Elosegui (VFL), Alleno (DED) and Porter (PTM) all finished much further back, scoring limited points. A fairly low scoring stage where BdC got the most points.

I don't know if we've ever seen a +0 on the board. If we did it would likely have been in some first week (team) time trial stage.

Tomorrow should be more interesting, as we get a mountain stage with an uphill finish that should suit climbers. It could be a good opportunity for a break, but I also expect to see some timegaps among the GC contenders.
