[20:02] <Writinglegend> So thoughts on early predictions?  [20:03] <Rach> I worry about Fortunado [20:04] <Writinglegend> Why? [20:05] <Rach> While I personally will be voting for him, I feel like some of his ideas are a little bit too far from the mainstream for him to gain support [20:06] <Rach> And HEM or McEntire maybe... [20:06] <Rach> the problem is that there aren't any obviously weak candidates and only a few spots [20:06] <Writinglegend> HEM dropped out of the race. [20:07] <CalvinCoolidge> I worry that Fortunado keeps double posting.  [20:08] <Writinglegend> ^ [20:08] <Rach> lol [20:08] <Writinglegend> I think he'll learn, though. [20:08] <Writinglegend> i'd like to point something out with one of our candidates. [20:09] <Writinglegend> Anumia is the only one that hasn't posted a platform... [20:09] <Writinglegend> *I'd [20:09] <Writinglegend> How do we think that'll impact him come voting time? [20:10] <CalvinCoolidge> Every time we think it will impact the vote and cost him the election he always scrapes by. [20:11] <Writinglegend> But for how long can he scrape by? [20:12] == Dali has quit [Ping timeout: 198 seconds] [20:13] == Dali has joined #euro [20:13] == mode/#euro [+v Dali] by ChanServ [20:14] * Writinglegend pokes [20:15] <CalvinCoolidge> I don't know, he might make it this time again. [20:16] <Writinglegend> Not saying he won't make it this time, but if he continues to do this then there will come a time where he doesn't scrape by. [20:18] <Writinglegend> And this isn't just a one time thing where he doesn't post a platform.
The panel discusses Senatorial candidates Fortunando and Anumia.

For the record, I have posted a platform the last...four (?) times in a row previous to this election. Everyone could see my absence notice for this term and anything from the previous platform not completed as a result will be continued; everyone can also see that before that absence I was one of the most significant contributors to the Senate last term (and didn't exactly stop, just had to postpone some larger projects like the Citizenship Act rewrite).
I am not proposing some radical change of direction for this term - there are important things I have already talked about both in my previous platform and the Senate itself that shall be worked on in the coming term if re-elected. Real life is calming down pretty smoothly now, and people know what they'll be getting from me: I'm here to work.
