The Virtuan elections have been both like a thrilling ride on a rollercoaster and a visit to the animal farm. In Cashington and Nasdaqar the Mayorelections remained unpredictable until the end. The Consulcampaign however, was showing a declining interest again with only 4 candidates for a Board of 4 members.
A few weeks ago an interesting Mayorcampaign was being hosted in the Cashington townhall. Both alecto and VirtuaCash were convincing candidates, and since that also means heavy competition the topic adressed to campaign talk became more fierce every day. The election bill was showing a 3rd candidate – JohnBonachon – too, standing in the shadows of the other 2, more talkative candidates. Eventually alecto turned out to be the new Mayor, probably partly having profit from high scale trading. Those players usually are very active and are in touch with lots of people all the time. With 7 votes against 12 VirtuaCash proved himself a worthy opponent. John Bonachon achieved 3 votes.
But compared to Cashington the heat was on in Nasdaqar. One period earlier, then current Mayor elzo, was the only candidate. But the latest election turned out to be a lot more of a thrill. Sahib, ex-mayor and veteran in Nasdaqar made his comeback to the election bill. Ravox, also ex-mayor, returned after a break of almost a year and competed along the other 2 for what was one of the most exciting Mayorelections Nasdaqar had seen so far. The results were likewise, with very small differences between the 3 candidates. Ravox turned out to be just a very close winner with 8 votes, having only 2 votes more than elzo and 3 more than Sahib.
Centropolis saw its declining activity reflected in the elections. Ronaldse was the only candidate, and took home 21 votes. But despite his easy victory he made a worthy debut as Mayor, even being around more than any other citizen of the Federation.
The Consulcandidates turned out to be in stark contrast to the Mayors-to-be. 4 open spots were offered, which were perfectly covered by 4 candidates. 3 veterans entered the elections – Riemer_1990, White Queen and michel182. With 21 and 19 votes Riemer_1990 and White Queen proved they were still in top shape in spite of their old age. 1 surprise enlightened these elections a bit: the debut of Shinchan16. He even beat veteran michel182 with 9 versus 4 votes and so far showed a great deal of interest and activity wearing his brand new Consul suit.
