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 September 02, 2026, 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.

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.

One short additional remark: The number of present votes seems unusually high. I am wondering what can be gleaned from it. Besides the two royal abstentions per tradition does this mean higher than normal "none of the above" constituency.
