The "Loyalty Parade" is the RUMP voters who only turn up during the election to cast a public ballot. Those people whose interest in Talossa extends only to giving electoral support to their old buddies. It's a nicer alternative to "pocket vote", considering that real KR1-style pocket votes were actually fraudulent.

Let's just have an end to this sort of nastiness and get back on topic: It says so much about you that your party got 9 absolute majorities on the trot when people had to come out and wave their party colours; and that you lost power when we gained the secret ballot. Amoral. Power-hungry. they have come to stink in the nostrils of other parties. Also, AD's smug "you're welcome" on the secret ballot, as on El Lexhátx, is like Pinochet demanding credit for restoring democracy to Chile. Is how you justify what you do to yourself - that it's only Talossa, and therefore you can act unethically and in a gangster-like fashion because you're not actually killing anyone or stealing their property? "a pompous git" to your political opponents. you use your brilliant legal mind to come up with plausible-sounding justifications for maintaining your personal power and prestige. Anyway, I'm glad things are back on track with verifying the votes and getting it sorted out. Sir Cresti is correct to point out that we should probably ask the justices about the problem, rather than making assumptions. I really do think that we should try to maintain separation as much as possible for the CpI, but we might just be too small yet for that to be a workable proposition. With so few lawyers in the country, there's not much real competition to be named to the bench... the burden is almost as weighty as the prestige. Having the separation of powers might be one of those things like a completely apolitical SoS: a great idea that we should do once we have five hundred citizens and ample people-power for our small tasks. I'm also pleased that the system MPF set up seems to be working better, with a lot of the bugs out of it. But I think we desperately need to work out the issues with notifications and emails. So very many people didn't get emails, or only got a few. Whatever we're doing now is not fixed. What ever happened to that service we were all going to use, to send out mass emails for us? And, failing that, why is it that MPF's emails are getting caught in spam filters and those of previous SoS did not? Is it something in the wording, or how they're sent? I'm not sure how spam filters work.

I'm just waiting on MPF to confirm my account so I can validate votes. It was confirmed a few minutes after you did it.

So does EVERY EC member have to confirm EVERY vote? Because I think every vote has now been confirmed by someone.

Who wrote this bullsh*t law anyway? Whoever had his hand in composing Org.VII.6., I'd presume?

Who wrote this bullsh*t law anyway? Folks who wanted to offer a secret ballot option, but were worried there might be mistakes. Like the EC just caught during this process

Who wrote this bullsh*t law anyway? This law was written when there was ZERO automation option due to the only SoS who ever implemented an automated ballot not having been a citizen of the Kingdom for 9 years, If ANYONE would have proposed then that former SoS Furxheir would be the acting SoS for the first secret ballot election, he would have been laughed at. In fact, if ANYONE would have asked me to fill that role, I would have hung up on them, saying that Talossa was in my past, not in my future. And here we are. the EC is using a semi-automated validation script. A big percentage of the votes were made using the automated form, eliminating the risk of a human error. All electors received an automated confirmation email, and they can validate their vote by login in and checking that it wasn't somehow changed in the mean time. This was unforeseen. This is vastly superior than the original goal of a Google Chart result. I am often criticized for doing things my way. But let's face it. When I only concentrate on getting things done, things get done, and usually get done well.

Well, considering said party leader has just publicly stated that you omitted facts regarding these negotiations and asserts that he informed you prior to negotiations that he lacked authority per his party's constitution to unilaterally make a deal, it would indeed seem silly of you. A bit like saying "I can't believe Dan Brown didn't show up to my birthday party. I talked to his agent who said he'd ask him for me..." More like, "I talked to his agent, who assured me that he could form an agreement with me on the specific terms of Dan Brown's appearance, and with whom I then negotiated a deal to which he said he agreed. But it's the agreed time and Dan Brown isn't here! I'm starting to think that this guy was never really able to agree to anything and shouldn't have pretended to be!" And at the end of the day, when we have your word and Dan Brown's agent's word against the other, we have to examine which is more likely the case and who likely had unreasonable expectations. Considering you have been shown to be a liar through repeated conflicting public statements, I think any reasonable person would place blame where the blame likely belongs. But I also notice a cycle of Alex arguments whereby we start at "I am but a humble servant" and end with "you are a sad person and I have bested you." That end part is more usually just called a "verdict." That's very clever. Did everyone see what Alex did here? See, because he once beat me in court, he made it sound like he is always right. Haha! But seriously, I am very fortunate in that I don't have to rewind any tapes, I can just point back to the plain text. Yes, we are all so fortunate. That's why we can look at how you attempted to misconstrue conversations with Luc which he politely and succinctly corrected. You responded with an eloquently worded post which is absolutely dripping in condescension. Put on a sweater, S:reu Davis, the winter is coming and it might get cold up on that mountain.Oh my, I complete missed this reply. Noted. No need to reply, of course as this post is long overdue. I had engagements which kept me away from Talossa.
