Andrew,

The nominations period is closed; voting begins on 21 February 2026 at 20:00 UTC.

As there is only one candidate, will you require a fully fledged vote? Or can we suffice with an FTSC-member (or yourself) putting forward a motion to appoint the one candidate? If someone seconds and no-one objects (as it would be done in real life) that's the end of the election?

Just a proposal...

Objection.

Do not change the rules during the game.

The rules as currently published do not allow this. With only one candidate, it shouldn't take the RCs long to consider and cast their ballots.

Just a proposal...

One that must be rejected for this cycle, since the election is already in progress. We can possibly consider something like this in the future.

Thank you for your input. I have no intention of making any changes for this election cycle.

Why would I not be glad if I were a fish? If I were a fish, I would know nothing about the FTSC. Or about almost anything that you and I know about the world. I would know so little that I might think that I knew everything there is to know. Something that might make me very happy...

Perhaps. If I were a fish however, I would know nothing about your revelations, so they would not bother me at all and I'd just happily swim around.
