I was wondering why Paleobrazilian was on the ballot and it's odd that Simfan would vote for him when he never campaigned and kind of got ejected for inactivity from the Council back in January.

To deepen the plot, when Paleo came back to Atlas ~March 21st he posted longwinded Simfan-ish posts to the Brazil thread which Simfan repeatedly complimented as great.

Not again! What is with the Pacific?

This is all your fault bgwah, you have cursed the place.

Yeah there is something weird there. I don'th think the results change since Superique didn't accept write-ins and counting the vote doesn't change that. That said, the timing is something that needs to be looked at.

Counting the vote does change the results if my calculations are correct.

Jojoju already loses to Superique in the count by seven votes, making it eight doesn't change the fact that those votes all exhaust since he didn't accept write-ins.

Spamage's votes denied though his vote was cast 10 minutes before the deadline.  This does alter the election results.

No, no it was not. Voting booth opened at 08:04:47 pm, closed 72 hours later. Spamage casts his vote at 08:49:11 pm. He's past the deadline. Nothing ambiguous about it. I obviously have no desire (I like higher turnout) to disallow his vote but it's completely clear cut. JCL's math does not add up.

     I think the confusion is that you defined the period of the election in Standard Time when we are now in Daylight Savings. I thought it was ending at 5 PM my time, not 4 PM.

Atlasia doesn't use Daylight Savings Time. We even passed a resolution on the matter in the Senate as I recall.

     WTF. Where did that idea come from? Did they pack the Senate with Arizonans or something?


Fritz. It passed unanimously and was signed by President Duke.

Thep roblem is that time can change during the election if there is a special or a vote in the Senate and cause all kinds of hell. We don't have to worry about energy usage and DST is lame anyway, so yeah. Tongue

Also as far back as 2010 the Senate has used only standard time. The Constitution only mentions Standard time and now as of 2014, we have Federal Statute.
