Commentary by Reporter Ryccia:

First of all, thank you for even reading The Nova. We have been out for a long time, so it's kinda good to be back.

Now, what I - and many others - expect is for Tsunamy to continue winning votes. The trends don't lie. For me, even if Feirmont was my candidate(darn, I really wanted him to win), it all seems to be headed for a landslide Tsunamy victory. Or should I say, waveslide?

I do believe that, however, even getting 19 to 20% of all WA nations - of which many are Gamesiders only - to vote is an accomplishment. Politics in the other side of the forums are, for me, mundane and almost non-existant. This is a sign of progress in the Gameside, which was, for many years, not even involved in politics at all. If I assume well, it has been a decade or so since something like that happened.

I do criticize something here for both candidates though: joke campaigns. Sure, Delegate is now a ceremonial position, devoid of almost any power, but, of what I've seen so far and forgive me if I'm wrong, all the campaigning for this government post has been a joke. At least bring something up! The Delegate advises the Local Council. He can tinker with the WFE, so maybe Coup Tuesdays are in order. But, no, nothing happened.

This is not some angry rambling, or me furious at Tsu and Feir. Rather, I am encouraging them both and future Delegate candidates to present something. Constructive criticism, if you will. Being Delegate can still mean something, even if it is little. I do like joke campaigns for a good laugh, but for a government post, we need more than that. Sure, it is understandable that there might be some jokes involved. It's a ceremonial post after all. But the Delegate still has some powers, no matter how tiny they are.
