I think people would agree that even by the most strenuous interpretation of "JCP zombies" in the last election I still would've been comfortably elected. If anything I think the ARC (Populares) would've been hurt worse, but I'm just as leery about weeding them out when those so called "zombies" may wind up being strongly contributing Atlasians in the future.
Hold it right there...
Last election I would have been considered a zombie, Dallasfan would have been considered a zombie, FallenMorgan would have been considered a zombie, etc.
Now none of us are zombies. That is the purpose of the Populares: we are by nature anti-zombie, and our solution is to increase activity, not filter out those who we have a vendetta against.
Looking back, JCP candidates totaled more zombies than Mint did. That's not debatable.
That none of you are zombies
now does not mean you were not zombies
then. Now, I won't make the judgement call on whether you were too new to be expected to do much else, but at that point you were simply serving as a zombie vote, without having contributed anything to the game.
I applaud all of your recent uptick in activity, but your current status does not impact what you may have been previously.
