Added Moses. BenArd is not on your list, I am assuming you mean Mximo?

The Directorate of STUFF is aware of a recent partisan campaign mailer in which the work of the Directorate was improperly credited to the Government as a political accomplishment. As the Directorate is in fact an office of the Royal Civil Service, a branch of the Talossan state independent from the elected Government and strictly apolitical in nature, it would seem critical to protect that independence and impartiality from such an unprecedented breach of convention.

To illustrate the point, the offices of the Royal Civil Service also include the Chancery and the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue, respectively charged with overseeing Talossan elections (among a host of other duties) and safekeeping the national finances. One should be able to easily understand why such offices must be kept separate from politics in order to ensure continued public trust in our national institutions.

In order to defend the Royal Civil Service's mission to keep Talossa's administrative functions running smoothly, regardless of the partisan makeup of the Government of the day, officers of political parties are hereby firmly reminded that it is exceedingly inappropriate to drag the work of the Royal Civil Service into the political arena.

Hi Luc @Sir Lüc

Now that I've submitted my registration for The Independent Progressive (BREN) party would it be possible to get a thread in the parties area similar to what the URL, Greens, and PA have? If it requires me to send in the registration payment as well then I understand and will let you know once that has been submitted. If not, please consider this my official request.

Oof, that is unfortunate. I can't count your vote anymore, I'm really sorry.

TMT20 ROUND 3

Round 3 consists of five groups of ten songs each. The top two songs from each group advance directly to the Final, while the next three songs from each group advance to the Semifinal. Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains two 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place songs from Round 2.

We will vote on groups 1, 2, and 3 and then groups 4 and 5. Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.

Give your top five songs 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly five songs.

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread. Officially, we are not voting on the YouTube link, but on the listed Artist + Title.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.
