Don't trust me DD?Democratic Donkeys:Not sure that I trust this...
Just popping in to say this quickly "Being a friend" is not a good reason for someone to be added to the SC. They are a collective of people that the TNP citizens has put their faith in that they will safeguard the security of the region. They should be something beyond "friends" someone who is trustworthySyrixia:As Malvad is a good friend of mine I would be delighted to see him on the Council. Full support and best wishes to Malvad!
Of course he doesn't, which is exactly why I support your admission to the SC. Just kidding.Malvad:Don't trust me DD?Democratic Donkeys:Not sure that I trust this...
Just hedging! That way if you coup then I will look super smart. If you don't then I can always pretend I was joking.Malvad:Don't trust me DD?Democratic Donkeys:Not sure that I trust this...
Malvad:Aye.
I have done likewise.Malvad:I didn't really think about it. I know I want to be on the council so I didn't see any issue in confirming myself. If it means anything I have changed my vote to abstain.
THEY SHOULD GET OFF OUR LAWN.Great Bights Mum:Alas, Elu, I fear that the protocol of candidates' abstaining is one of the niceties which has gone by the wayside.

It's just a convention, which is pretty stupid in my opinion. Why wouldn't you vote for yourself? Do you have doubts about your candidacy?Malvad:I didn't really think about it. I know I want to be on the council so I didn't see any issue in confirming myself. If it means anything I have changed my vote to abstain.
