Roughly one hour into the race, Mousebumples has six votes, Notolecta has three, Seven Deaths has one, and Prometheus32 has zero. We now go to our panel for commentary.
- Panel
-
[11:12] <CalvinCoolidge> Now, since I am a candidate (and Noto) we likely won't be talking too much, but what do you think so far? [11:13] <NES_> 65/25/10 or something like that. [11:13] <Notolecta> percentages? [11:13] <NES_> Yes [11:14] <Notolecta> I can assume who your 65 is, but what are the others [11:14] == prometheus3 has joined #EBC [11:14] <NES_> #everyonehatesNoto [11:15] <prometheus3> Hello, everyone. [11:15] <NES_> No I think you'll come in 2nd probably [11:15] <NES_> Hi [11:15] <Notolecta> Also aren't you forgetting prom gets at least 2 votes. [11:15] <Notolecta> Himself and his runningmate. [11:15] <NES_> Yeah, right, + factor that in. [11:15] <Notolecta> more interesting topic for this election may be how many votes do we get. [11:16] <NES_> 41 [11:17] <NES_> So, Noto, how come you poll so bad? [11:17] <Notolecta> We all know the answer to that question. [11:17] <NES_> Why?  [11:18] <NES_> You've written a pretty decent manifesto. [11:18] <Notolecta> I'm not a politician. I get down to business most of the time, avoiding a lot of the plesentries and nicities. [11:18] <NES_> You've been relatively active recently. [11:18] <Notolecta> the first 3/4ths of winning an election is personality. [11:18] <ZennyWinter> What the results currently? [11:19] <ZennyWinter> what are* [11:19] <NES_> 6-3-1-0 [11:19] <ZennyWinter> Well, that was a fun little campaign. [11:19] <NES_> So, your personality is incredibly unpopular? [11:19] <Notolecta> Is this really something new? [11:20] <NES_> Haven't you considered the possibility of being more pleasant or something?

Mousebumples now has eight, Notolecta has three, Seven Deaths has one, and Prometheus32 has zero.
- Panel

[11:20] <NES_> I mean whats the point in standing in elections when your record is so awful? [11:20] <ZennyWinter> Im gonna go on a hunch and guess that this was, as usual, everyone talking about how it might be close, and it will in fact be an Anumia-like smash to Mouse's opposition. [11:21] <prometheus3> I shouldn't have joined the election. [11:21] <NES_> People always vote for the victor. [11:21] == Hy has joined #EBC [11:21] <ZennyWinter> Is Mouse going to be WA and President at the same time? [11:22] <NES_> Yeah I imagine so? [11:22] <ZennyWinter> I wish I had those consolidation of power skills D: [11:22] <Notolecta> NES because I don't play to win elections. I play to work hard and do what I can to make euro thrive, so if I lose elections it doesn't bother me. [11:22] <Notolecta> Of course winning would be nice because I can always do more, but I'll find a way to play my part. [11:23] <NES_> I hope you can. [11:23] == Sopo has joined #EBC [11:23] <NES_> But you really would benefit from some better PR skills... [11:23] <NES_> Oh well, nevermind. [11:23] <Notolecta> I can deal with people tactfully when needed [11:24] <NES_> What, like in elections? [11:24] <Sopo> greetings [11:24] <NES_> :p [11:24] <NES_> Yo Soap [11:24] <CalvinCoolidge> I'm not sure this is about the election... [11:24] <Sopo> I see my conspiracy is working [11:24] <Notolecta> it's not [11:24] <Notolecta> But I don't mind having the conversation. [11:24] <NES_> It's pretty much central to the election. [11:25] <CalvinCoolidge> All right. [11:25] <Sopo> what are we discussing? [11:25] <NES_> The only serious Presidential challenger has an appalling electoral record. [11:25] <NES_> Couldn't even get into the Senate last term. [11:25] == mode/#EBC [+vvv Hy prometheus3 Sopo] by Henn|Away [11:25] <NES_> Again, with a decent manifesto. [11:25] == mode/#EBC [+o NES_] by Henn|Away [11:26] == prometheus3 has quit [Quit: Web client closed] [11:26] <ZennyWinter> Lol, and everyone said Mouse didn't want the Presidency  Nobody listens to me xD [11:26] <Notolecta> At the end of the day NES the region still needs people willing to be frank even when that will offend. [11:26] <NES_> Yeah, I know. [11:26] <NES_> What do you think I'm doing  [11:27] <NES_> The region also needs people that are electable challenging for elections though. [11:27] <NES_> ie. competitive elections [11:27] <NES_> This is better than nothing. [11:27] <Sopo> When you tell people to take it or leave it, they'll probably leave it [11:28] <Notolecta> I did all I could NES, I gave them a serious alternative, with epeirnce in the Navy and FA, something many believe mouse lacks. [11:30] <Sopo> 8-3-1-0 [11:32] <NES_> Uninformed voters always vote for the winner, so we could see that effect pushing M&M above 70% [11:32] <NES_> A strong early start is always profitable. [11:33] <ZennyWinter> Mouse is the new Caesar. I could dig it. [11:34] <Sopo> I don't think she's go for three terms though [11:34] <Notolecta> Time for me to force myself to not pay attention to the polls, so I'm not sitting there watching the votes come in. [11:34] <Sopo> I have a final soon but this is more interesting D: [11:34] <NES_> So, what about this prometheus guy? [11:35] <NES_> Will we ever see him again? [11:35] <Sopo> didn't know what he was getting into [11:35] <Sopo> I think so [11:35] <Sopo> he just needs to find his place [11:35] <NES_> At the bottom. [11:36] <Sopo> gotta work your way up [11:36] <NES_> I didn't. [11:36] <Sopo> or have some kind of crazy charisma [11:36] <NES_> I just faked a CV, and applied for the top job. [11:36] <Sopo> you sneaky bastard [11:37] <Sopo> ok, I'm off

Mousebumples now has ten votes, Notolecta has three, Seven Deaths has one, and Prometheus32 has zero.
- Panel
-
[11:39] <CalvinCoolidge> Do we still think a runoff is likely? [11:39] <NES_> Seems unlikely if the current trends continue. [11:40] <NES_> So, yeah, this ship has sailed. [11:40] == Sopo has quit [Ping timeout: 186 seconds] [11:42] <CalvinCoolidge> I agree, a runoff is looking very unlikely now. Every new vote that comes in seems to be a vote for Mouse. [11:42] <NES_> I think a Calvin/Sopo ticket or something like that would have been interesting. [11:42] <CalvinCoolidge> I do like Sopo. [11:43] <NES_> But his record for randomly disappearing lately is quite high. [11:43] <NES_> I mean we also have some quality players in writinglegend, Kraketopia, etc. [11:43] <NES_> But evidently no one that wants the top job. [11:44] <NES_> 9-3-1 [11:46] <NES_> So, what about the SD/Rach ticket. [11:46] <NES_> What was the point in that? [11:48] <NES_> Btw, in other news. [11:48] <NES_> There is a NSWF event in #auditorium_one in 15 minutes. [11:48] <NES_> Ananke, of 10KI. [11:49] <NES_> Q&A session. [11:49] <CalvinCoolidge> Yeah, there does seem to be a lot of passing the top job to someone else in recent elections. [11:49] <CalvinCoolidge> I agree, I don't think many people want it right now. [11:49] <NES_> Probably boring, but I'll be there. [11:51] <NES_> And it would be hard to be more boring than this election tbh. [11:52] <CalvinCoolidge> Maybe last election could. [11:52] <NES_> And you get a personal welcome from unibot [11:52] <CalvinCoolidge> Didn't everyone?  [11:52] <NES_> Yeah [11:53] <NES_> I mean that generally to anyone thinking of joining [11:53] <NES_> Like, as a sort of "selling point" [11:53] <CalvinCoolidge> Ah.

Noto ran a superb campaign, without the gratuitous brusqueness that has hindered some of his past efforts. Mouse was simply unbeatable -- and for good reason.

Thirteen hours into the election, the vote count is now:
- Mousebumples/Malashaan - 20
- Notolecta/Calvin Coolidge - 7
- Seven Deaths/Rach - 7
- prometheus32/Santa Costa Island - 0
Will we see a runoff? Mousebumples is currently holding steady with 58.8% of the vote, but a few more votes for the opposing candidates could take us into some rare territory.

The final vote count:
- Mousebumples/Malashaan - 26
- Notolecta/Calvin Coolidge - 8
- Seven Deaths/Rach - 7
- prometheus32/Santa Costa Island - 0
The Mousebumples ticket led this race from the start, and never let go of the lead, so it is no surprise that this race ended in such a landslide.
