Your Soar-away Sausage was there at the death for the first round announcements! Unlike a certain Escaflowne who was not there at all!

Yes, if you have seen Escaflowne please let the Sausage know! Check all the dens of iniquity and vice; the brothels, the speakeasys and sleazy motels! Perhaps he's out in your back yard right now, rummaging through your garbage, wearing your discarded things over his face like some disgusting freak?

The Daily Sausage of course wouldn't dream of suggesting that's what he's definitely doing... BUT HOW CAN YOU BE CERTAIN HE'S NOT?!

We are just reporting on the possibility that's where he might have been, instead of at the electoral announcement today...

... in other news, the results of the elections so far were as follows;

TOTAL VOTES CAST: 373

In 8th place, with 9 votes (2.41% of turnout) was Fynn Barrett.

In 7th place with 18 votes (4.83% of turnout) was Kou.

In 6th place with 21 votes (5.63% of turnout) was Heimlich.

In 5th place with 24 votes (6.43% of turnout) was Nathan Hawke.

In 4th place with 50 votes (13.40% of turnout) was Aron Swordmaster.

In 3rd place with 78 votes (20.91% of turnout) was Alaster The Mad.

In 2nd place with 86 votes (23.06% of turnout) was Escaflowne.

In 1st place with 87 votes (23.32% of turnout) was Lord Irvyn

Thus Kou and and Fynn Barrett are eliminated, and the top 6 go forward to the next round.



NEXT ROUND INFORMATION:

There will be an extension into a third week of voting, the next round will not decide the winner but eliminate all but 2 candidates.

There will be events on the following dates;

Tuesday 22nd of November, at 8pm UK time.

Thursday 24th of November, at 8pm UK time.


(Both at normal EM event times basically)

It is not known yet what these events may entail, but it could be combat so come prepared.


So... the final question is; who was gracious in defeat, who was magnanimous in victory, and who frankly was scandalously naked in front of women and children? Here are the election day speeches! Colonel Clegg was today the Election Results Officer.

[Colonel Clegg]: Good evening everybody
[Irvyn]: Good evening Colonel.
[Trent Edwards]: *puts them on!*
[Colonel Clegg]: *Salutes*
[Ayara-Bee]: good evening
[Nathan Hawke]: Evenign Colonel
[Irvyn]: *bows head politely*
[Mary-Ann]: aha
[Irvyn]: *looks along and nods to Heimlich*
[Heimlich]: *nods back*
[Colonel Clegg]: *Pats a pocket on his tunic*
[Jessica]: *Looks round*
[Colonel Clegg]: I have here the results of the first round of the elections
[Jessica]: The Vesperians are late...
[Fargo]: Hmm...
[Irvyn]: Neither Escaflowne nor Fynn are here yet.
[Kou]: Punctuality is not a trait of chaos
[Aron Swordmaster]: What ever the results so far, I trust we can continue to respect each other as we have so far
[Colonel Clegg]: But before I read out the results, I have some news
[Irvyn]: *nods along with Aron's words*
[Irvyn]: *looks to Clegg*
[Colonel Clegg]: We've decided to add another round of voting to the Elections
[Fargo]: *raises an eyebrow*
[Aron Swordmaster]: Another round of voting, good good
[Aron Swordmaster]: *nods in approval*
[Irvyn]: *nods*
[Colonel Clegg]: This first round of voting we had 8 candidates
[Weasel II]: Alaster No*1
[Colonel Clegg]: After tonight, we will continue with 6
[Heimlich]: weezle your words are a knife in my heart
[Colonel Clegg]: Next weekend we'll have another round of voting
[Colonel Clegg]: After which only 2 will remain
[Amantala]: ello mush
[Weasel II]: :( sorry heim but alaster rocks
[Alaster The Mad]: this is a good idea
[Colonel Clegg]: Then we will do the final round to decide on the winner
[Irvyn]: I concur, this will be fairer.
[Irvyn]: The majority view will be much more clear.
[Heimlich]: *nod*
[Colonel Clegg]: *Nods* I think so too
[Aron Swordmaster]: And will allow more time for awareness of this vital issue to develop, a wise course
[Nathan Hawke]: Where is Escaflowne?
[Rimeny De Blaze]: Im not sure Sir
[Colonel Clegg]: I have no idea...
[Alaster The Mad]: i trapped his shoes
[Heimlich]: esca who?
[Nathan Hawke]: Ahh thank you
[Colonel Clegg]: And Fynn isn't here either...
[Colonel Clegg]: Strange
[Irvyn]: *mutters just slightly too loudly: "Eaten by bears, possibly."*
[Mary-Ann]: well of course fynn isnt here!
[Aron Swordmaster]: This mystery of the whereabouts of Escaflowne sounds like a job for the Daily Sausage!
[Nathan Hawke]: They are plotting our downfall somewhere?
[Heimlich]: lol
[Colonel Clegg]: *Looks somewhat alarmed*
[Mary-Ann]: *chuckles at nathan*
[Nathan Hawke]: Makes sense to me
[Nathan Hawke]: *nods*
[Colonel Clegg]: You never know with those Vesperians....
[Irvyn]: *looks round at Nathan*
[Trent Edwards]: I'm from Vesper!
[Mary-Ann]: haha
[Irvyn]: Are you sure you are not just imputing your own motives to them?
[Rimeny De Blaze]: Vote Esca!
[Alaster The Mad]: this proves those words
[Irvyn]: *innocently raised eyebrow*
[Aron Swordmaster]: Perhaps we should be asking ourselves whether we are prepared to think better of them ourselves?
[Trent Edwards]: Might have a point there...
[Aron Swordmaster]: (Ugh so tired, repetition of words, sorry)
[Anira Cuilwen]: *sighs a little*
[Alaster The Mad]: today 50% discount on pants at PWAL Shop !
[Colonel Clegg]: I guess we're just going to have to carry on without them....
[Irvyn]: *makes another attept to get comfortable*
[Jessica]: The results? this bench is getting really uncomfortable
[Rimeny De Blaze]: *sniffs Alaster*....hmmz
[Colonel Clegg]: Alright, I would like to call all the candidates forward

Clegg begins to teleport Candidates onto the steps in front of the throne at this point

[Mary-Ann]: I really need to pee
[Alaster The Mad]: omh
[Alaster The Mad]: omg!
[Mary-Ann]: lmao!
[Rimeny De Blaze]: put some cloths on man
[Irvyn]: *eyes Alaster with slight suspicion*
[Heimlich]: oh great
[Heimlich]: i get the slightly lower step
[Colonel Clegg]: Good good
[Alaster The Mad]: * scratches nose*
[Colonel Clegg]: So... the results!
[Aron Swordmaster]: Wait, how do we get down again in case of a sudden emergency of a pants-tacular nature?
[Nathan Hawke]: *smiles a little*
[Colonel Clegg]: In total there were 373 votes cast
[Heimlich]: ooh
[Alaster The Mad]: wow
[Colonel Clegg]: And I have to say.... it's very close between the front runners indeed
[Nathan Hawke]: *listens*
[Colonel Clegg]: In the very last place... with only 9 votes
[Mary-Ann]: *crosses legs tightly*
[Aron Swordmaster]: I believe the campaigns were of an equally high quality, so this is unsurprising
[Irvyn]: *maintains an entirely relaxed demeanour*
[Colonel Clegg]: Was Fynn Barrett
[Nathan Hawke]: Ouch
[Fargo]: *claps politely*
[Irvyn]: *rubs chin*
[Mary-Ann]: ouch

[Alaster The Mad]: Kou rocks!
[Kou]: *Grins*
[Irvyn]: *looks along the line and gives her a sympathetic smile*
[Heimlich]: *claps for kou*
[Aron Swordmaster]: And m'lady, you will always make an excellent host
[Colonel Clegg]: I'm afraid both Fynn and Kou are out of the running
[Nathan Hawke]: *blinks*
[Nathan Hawke]: *looks surprised*
[Colonel Clegg]: But I'd like to thank Kou for running
[Nathan Hawke]: Aye
[Kou]: Shall I go back to my bench and cry, now?
[Kou]: *Grins*

[Rimeny De Blaze]: *claps*
[Aron Swordmaster]: The realm still needs ye both!
[Nathan Hawke]: Who will you support now Kou?

You left the alliance chat in, now everyone can see my secret thoughts :D
I could have sworn I deleted all of that, including your discussion of highly dubious methods of coercion for those members that hadn't yet voted. Whipping, starvation, sleep deprivation, I cut all those abusive attempts to get more votes out in the next round... didn't I?! Which bit is private? PM me and I'll remove the offending line :p

I'm sorry i could not make it but i had one bloody bad weekend. I did not sleep Friday night and didn't get in till 7am Sunday morning and in that long bloody time since friday afternoon at 6pm when i went out i've managed to break down in my car, break my hand in a car door, lose my phone down a drain and crash into a car. So im sorry but i spent Sunday in bed and dieing infront of my TV as i couldnt face logging in or working techology lol. But its great to see i came in second and i wont be going out for a long time :p Worst weekend ever! I didn't even vote on any of my chars lol and it has to end up that close! :(

Well heres to another week :D

Congratulations to all the candidates. Especially it seems the Duke who does correctly appear to be 102 years old having been duke for centuries :p

Esca that sounds like a hell of a weekend. Hope all the injuries get better soon

Yeah i wish i stayed in playing UO :p

Comfrey compresses every night for the hand, and daily drinks of aloe vera juice will help it heal up quickly. Tastes like weasel pee, mind, so better have a couple of beers after it, just to take the taste away!

Better the car and phone than you; they're replacable, you are not. And yes, I mean that exactly as you think I do!

You know where to find me on FB if you want comfrey and aloe destructions :)

Here at the Daily Sausage, we care more about that mobile phone you dropped down a drain; how are we going to hack your messages now and learn all about your SCANDAAAHHHLS over the weekend?!

But seriously, that sounds like an incredible run of bad luck, so try and think that you've got all the bad karma out of the way now; and just one sympathy vote will put you over the top to victory, eh?

(Don't sympathise with him, I need your votes more! ;) )
