Did you change the schedule as well? The calendar still has "October 10, 2013 - Midwest Wisard Ekstraordinar Elections" on it

Well, October 10th is also clearly wrong, and no I haven't, I have only changed it on the wiki  constitution. I shall make the changes necessary.

Great convention site choice!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I know you all are running your own ticket, and that is a wonderful thing, but I ask all of you to consider the Duke/Matt ticket for your second preference in the upcoming election. We are beginning to roll out our campaign platform in our thread, and of course, if any of you are wanting to ask us questions, we would be happy to answer them!

I'm sorry, but how does score voting work?

When you score vote, you vote by ranking on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best and 1 being the worst.

A small address to the convention, by Lumine:

My fellow Progressives, it gives me real joy to witness the first convention of our party. It hasn't been easy, and we have received a lot of attacks (some of them as good spirited jokes, some of them not). But here we are, the third largest party, and the party with the biggest amount of newer members (hell, I'm one of the oldest half!). And that is something unique about our party, because we are not a group of players switching from party to party, because we are not people who can't decide what to do. Our party in unique because it embodies change in many ways.

Change because this party is headed by a new generation.
Change because we use modern tools (web site!).
Change because we accept members from all sides of Atlasia.
Change because we we delivered our promises.
Change because we are not the duopoly.

And I think that is a marvellous chance to prove that. Duke, DemPGH and Dr. Cynic are great candidates, great Atlasians, but this is our first chance to take a shot at the White House and show Atlasia what we are made of. Polling (somewhat unreliable, I know) has us at third, with an actual chance of getting second and then maybe first after two or three ballots. A long shot? Perhaps, but it is our shot, and we are ready to take it. I invite you to join Superique and me on this journey, because I think we can do it, we can win, we can change Atlasia and we can end this cycle of two parties who can't get along.

But Lumine, you don't have the Senate!

True, but a candidate from a different party is more likely to reach consensus beyond the bitter partisanship of the two electoral machines.

Lumine, you have no experience and no idea what you're talking about!

Wrong. I have been here for a long time, watching, learning, witnessing major events, from Wolfentoad to Pacific Rim, and I have learned from them.

Lumine, you're just wasting time in this election!

That's left for the voters to judge.

I don't want to take too much time, but I hope that this humble speech will clarify some of my intentions behind this race.

Thank you very much.

Hi, Progressives! First of all, thanks to the PRO for considering endorsing me for IDS Legislature!
I have just one correction though, you guys have me on the ballot as a Federalist, when I'm actually a member of the Democratic-Republican party. So instead of "Small L (Fed-TX)", it should be "Small L (DR-TX)".

This isn't a big deal, but I want you guys to know who you're voting for (or against). I wouldn't want to gain votes under false pretenses from those of you who really love Federalists

Anyways, carry on with your convention. I'm hoping Lumine wins the Presidency, so good luck!

Oh my god, I'm so sorry for the mistake.
