The Supreme Court offers its humble apologies for the delay in this matter. In accordance with the Constitution and SC #2, the campaign period for the Second Term Senate elections is hereby closed. All five seats were won by unopposed candidates: House of Olaf: Comedy Dave House of Scorpius: psweetman1590 House of Terminal: Scipio Africanus House of Warmax: Bismarck2290 House of Zyn: Scorpius

2000 years of unopposed 'elections.' Now THAT is democracy at its finest!

All of the Senate graphics for the new and departing Senators have been updated..... Through a tireless and arduous effort on my part, of course...

6. Each Senator shall appoint for himself a Deputy Senator, who shall take upon himself all duties of the Senator, should the Senator become absent. 6a. If a Senator becomes absent for an undeterminable time, his Deputy may issue a request to become full Senator, for approval by the Supreme Court. Heh, Scorpius looks to be on leave, but he hasn't appointed a deputy yet... There seems to be no other provision to get rid of him, if at all necessary of course. Perhaps we should take steps to bring down the number of people required to keep this game going (3 Senators for example, or double deputy duty). I'd rather have actual elections between people genuinely interested than this... this... this current system. (And yes, I do remember what Scipio said at the very start. I for one have always believed him to be a visionary... )

But then that will mean less public officials leeching ahem I mean earning gold from the public purse Obviously this will mean a constitutional change, but might be prudent, since we seem to be just seem to be scraping together the number of posts as it is...

I say we vote our President to be "Dictator for Life" and let the cards fall where they may!

Instead of elections, we could have assassination attempts! (but only one every 50 turns, and we would need to oversee that the attempt is fair and fairly representative of the general sentiment, and we might want to list the means by which assassination may be executed, no fires laying waste to any huts, no bystanders hurt, stuff like that... red tape rules forever )
