It is time to activate your teams for those of you intending to play fantasy hockey again this year! I haven't yet set a date for the draft but I can tell you it will take place sometime in mid to late September.

@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be
@Iason Taiwos
@King Txec
@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu
@þerxh Sant-Enogat
@Sir Lüc
@Glüc
@Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat

Also @Breneir Tzaracomprada you had expressed interest in joining us this year and I sent you an invitation. I am not sure what you have to do but I need you to either take control of the team I invited you to take or create an entirely new team.

Anyone else interested in joining us this year please let me know here and I will get the information I need to send you an invitation. A knowledge of NHL hockey is not necessary and I would like to think those who have participated in the past will tell you that it is a lot of fun!

I'm very glad to hear!

If I could only access that link...

That's odd. I've uploaded it to the Chancery's Drive account: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1njogxDYEmTnZZ0gaOgMFqDoyxZ23ZEhJ/view?usp=sharing

Yeah the issue is TalossaWiki thinks I'm a bot.

There are no 5 points, only 6,4,3,2,1. I will interpret this vote accordingly

Sorry about that. I've updated it accordingly.

Quote from: Glüc on Yesterday at 08:30:23 AMAs an aside I would like to do a broadcast of the results on discord on election night (which would be tuesday september first), but this may partially depend on how much interest/attendance there would be for that. I'd assume it would be starting somewhere around 14:00 TST/21:00 CEST on september first. How many of you think they might be able to tune in for a bit?

I will!

Unlikely, I'm travelling in the afternoon, not sure if I'll be home to 21 CEST.

Oh, also, lest I forget. Major credit to the Ladintsch Naziunal @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP for his help in translating the PDF and Database ballots. Now that the Database is dialed in, I really wanted to bring back bilingual ballots, and I couldn't have made it without him.

As a further update: other than the ballots and Pienamaintsch, the ballot mailers and Witt post are also ready and the only thing left is double checking the voting system. Therefore, I think you can expect the election to start a few hours earlier than what is displayed on the Database, which was set to a pretty conservative time in case something happened (2 PM TDT; I think 10-12 AM is more likely). I will let you all know.

Earlier I was asking Lüc whether pointing out that alongside the elections for the Cosa, election night will also see the reveal of this years Talossan Music Top 20, voting for which is currently underway in the chatroom, counts as election commentary. The answer apparently is yes, as long as I also encourage people to vote in the GE so eeh everyone go vote on the General Elections tomorrow (and on round 3 of tmt20 right now!)



As for my actual election commentary, I am kinda tempted to vote by post this time, but I have no idea who to vote for yet, because I haven't been paying attention as usual.

Thank you! I did have fun making the ballots and Pienamaintsch, so that's a bonus.
