What's hypocritical is questioning Farengeto's impartiality because of his friends (and that's what parties are), while not thinking the same of Raven, despite it being very public that he has enemies and freaks out a lot. I'm glad you're supporting Farengeto, but it wasn't fair in the first place to cast doubt on his ability to separate friendships from duties on the court.

Belonging to a political party shouldn't be the deciding factor of whether or not somebody's ability to be impartial is questioned. Raven was just as prone to unprofessionalism and bias from his nomination as he was on his last day. But he wasn't a member of a party, I guess. My point isn't to start a proxy war. But to point out that you're applying different standards in unfair ways, just because TIL labels ourselves a party instead of a friendship circle. The double standards have been happening since parties were formed, and those not in them have tended to get less scrutiny for no reason

As the founder of TIL, I want to make sure that nobody's character or judgement will be questioned merely by deciding to join. I want the party to grow and new players to not feel like they'll be looked down on or questioned if they join. We should evaluate *all* nominees and their professional character, without singling out party affiliates.
