The database is correct; I simply utterly forgot about daylight savings. The deadline is in two hours and a half.

Hey, quick question: the balloting thread sets the end of the election at 5 pm Talossan Standard Time. But the database sets it at 5 pm Talossan Daylight Time, an hour earlier?

Not wanting to spoil the fun, but he should have sent that sash to his successor.

Which Discord channel will we be using for this?

Such a shame Sir Luc that your bedbug is affecting you in such dire ways, though I suspect there are many people who would not be too upset to share your condition!

Nevertheless, I note with humor the fact you managed to get the Duke to recite the opening lines of the Emancipation Proclamation while wearing the Sash of the Republic. The very Sash of the Republic that a certain reigning King of Talossa asked a former King of Talossa to send to him and to which a reigning King of Talossa received no reply from a certain former King of Talossa. Quite the conundrum.

Happy April Fools Day!

Azul all,

you may be aware that my recent career change has been marred by a few issues. The Sixth Clark was conducted entirely on Wittenberg due to issues with the old Database; electoral literature was sent before voting was open in a break from the past; voting itself was opened a few hours later than I would have liked; Innuendo was eliminated from TMT20 all too early; and now a citizen was reassigned to the wrong province.

In truth, I suffer from a serious condition Talossan medical scholars known as ragatzitis. It is caused by a infestation of bedbugs (or rather, one particularly lanky bedbug) which I have yet to understand how to get rid of; offerings of vegan meatballs have not improved the situation and my quality of sleep is worsening. While my condition is debilitating, I still do not think my performance reflects well on what Talossans expect from my position, and that's why I have decided I need a break and for someone more experienced than me to coach me through the duties of my office.

Thankfully, one such person exists and is currently Talossanly unemployed; Duke Ian has gracefully agreed to serve as Deputy Acting Chanceryhead while I seek treatment. He was kind enough to say a few words upon receiving news of his appointment:

I am afraid I have to report that, as detailed here, the assignment of Xherált Del'Encradeir to M-M rather than Vuode was wrongful, since it didn't take into account Lex.E.7.2, which grandfathered him into Vuode. I have contacted him by email to allow him to cure his ballot.

If I receive no reply by the election deadline, which unfortunately is fast approaching, I will discuss the situation with the Electoral Commission and determine whether he should be allowed to cast a late ballot for the Vuodean Senate race.

Er - I have actually assigned you to Maritiimi-Maxhestic, going off the information provided by MinImm in your reimmigration thread. I did double check before issuing your grant, and your stated place of residence does appear to be in Maritiimi-Maxhestic's catchment area.

This is one hell of a grey area, because you previously were a citizen of Talossa, and indeed a citizen of Vuode. Lexhatx E.14 would assign you back to Vuode, but it doesn't apply to you, since you renounced your citizenship rather than have it lapse. If Lexhatx E.7.3.3 was applied, it would allow you to choose between M-M and Vuode, but it's unclear whether the choice can be made by someone who wasn't a citizen at the time of the catchment area alteration.

One thing I missed is that this is all moot since E.7.2. clearly states you are grandfathered in to Vuode. Further complicating matters, I did issue you a ballot for citizens of Maritiimi-Maxhestic, so if the correct province to assign you to was Vuode, you missed out on voting for Vuode's Senate seat. I can only apologise for missing that provision.

I'm still here, not much use but I am here
