Discussion

Election

Headstart

eke223 had a huge lead because he had been inviting many citizens to his town, Reval, to vote for him in the election. emmettaaron thought this was pretty unfair since he only uses his citizens for the votes and for nothing else. He could have done the same thing, but he didn't. He had a huge lead of 6 votes.

Next day

As the next day arrived, eke223 had somewhere around 10 votes. Whereas Alan_Lime had 2, emmettaaron 4 and ondrag1 1 vote. After some convincing and propaganda spreading, emmettaaron gained around 6 more votes, eke223 2 more, Alan_Lime 1 more and ondrag1 2 more votes. After many hours of back and forth, the counter stopped at:

Final results

eke223 would have won if the law 1.2b of the Terra Mariana Constitution didn't forbid this. Since there was only a 5% difference, the Supreme Court decided who to vote as the Prime Minister within an hour. The Royal Councillors Alan_Lime, Pickled_Cheetos and TommyJ2 decided emmettaaron should be the 2nd Prime Minister. At 18:00 UTC on the 24th of April emmettaaron gained the role of Prime Minister in the government.
