For those Fiôvans just waking up from the beauty sleep, the big news of the day is that Eric Kildow - Talossan since 2005, twice Seneschál of the Republic, and friend to most of us - has admitted creating 17 sockpuppet Talossan citizens and casting votes for 8 of them in the last election. All of them for my party, I might add. The worst bit was that we elected one of his sock puppets to the ZRT Central Committee and gave "her" 10 Cosâ seats.
So, I myself am none too pleased about these shenanigans. Eric says it was a prank to expose the Kingdom's lax immigration laws that got out of hand. As those of us with long memories know, Eric has been occasionally prone to... erratic behaviour. But never outright electoral fraud before.
Eric renounced his citizenship on the spot. I am trying, nonetheless, to have a proper Cort trial brought together where he can admit his guilt, face his victims in a manly fashion, and plead for the mercy of the rest of the nation. This is not easy for me (it's huge blow to the ego to find out that 1/4 of your Cosâ seats were fraudulent) but I believe that a) the nation needs it to heal; b) Eric needs it for the sake of his own honour, personal growth, and possibly one day in the far future his rehabilitation as a Talossan.
