Wooty: I suspect it won't matter who I throw the vote for. I hope it won't. If it comes down to it, though, and both of you have 2 votes still, I'll probably throw it for you as your XP total is lower. If need absolutely be, Nouv will have slightly better luck grabbing a wildcard with his slightly higher XP total.

However, I encourage you to send out a shout like "TRP: vote for Nouveauk and Wooty in Central!"; I can post one, but it'll only go out to "friends", as only your first of the day goes out to "everyone", and I've already used 3.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

If any of you haven't voted yet, log out and go here to see results before you vote... then vote accordingly.

Argh, and I've gotten 2 more votes, damn it!

Anyone find it odd that TNT a couple of TNT members are sharing presentations of a bunt cake and a sky?

Odd. EThailand appears to have an infestation of Romanians centered around K-Gifts. Just... odd.

(Seriously... why would anyone move to bleeding eThailand and set up a Gifts company?!?)

A gifts company? Didn't anyone tell them we don't have any diamonds? :-\

Hmm... ya think it's possible for non-candidates to move between regions on election day and still vote? I'll bet you anything it is. Which is so moronic it's not even funny, as the stated purpose of regionalizing the Congressional elections was to restore some of the "place loyalty" lost when mayors were phased out. Now elections will be about stockpiling tickets and having a pool of voters waiting to dispatch to various regions on demand of an organizing member to "plug up leaks", such as it were...

Where the hell did all of these Estonians come from!?  Also, can anyone tell me how we're doing?  I'm not sure how to read the results and to me it looks like TNT currently has 71% of the seats in congress...

TNT currently has 18 members winning in the election. That seems like really high.

Edit: TRP has 12. DPE 2. TDP 3. SUP 5.

Most of the Estonians were here in eThailand before any of us were. They've been around. A lot of them left briefly last month to fight in Finland, but they came back. They REALLY should have 4 Congressional seats, but I think two of their candidates failed to vote for themselves. /sigh

Oh, and Guy confirms that the dispatcher/mobile-electorate model of realtime election rigging works. Incoherent idiocy of an electoral design.

So in other words a single person can vote in one district, move, and vote again in another?  Is there any way to report this?

Wait, we can move around and vote multiple times? Seriously?

No, no, no. One vote per person per day. But you don't have to vote in the region you start the day in. So you can have someone* watch the election results and "dispatch" people to regions to cast their vote to shore up individual candidates on the fly. You can fine-tune vote totals all over the country by sending exactly enough voters into a region to overcome their rivals in response to their rivals' running vote totals. Which is wrong on so many levels it's not even funny. It's essentially making a mockery of the notion that these are "regional" elections.

What they really should do is not reveal Congressional vote tallies until after the polls close. Anything else encourages extremely informed "strategic voting". Vote counts should never be displayed in real time, particularly in an electoral system structured like eRepublik's mess.

I posted a suggestion about this for the admins to ignore here.

*Judging by the shouts I'm seeing, I'm pretty sure Antonio and Croms are doing exactly this.

At least it isn't as bad as the previous "election" we had. While electioneering is still a massive problem, it could be worse.

Well, in a system where I can win a congressional seat (as it looks like I might) by having only one vote (my own) all this seems kinda pointless.
