As noted in the main thread earlier today, I've manage to rope Seriphyn and his Elusenians into the troubles - which means, should my Sociocrat friends support the measure, we'll be going to another poll.
I've also received evemails about other involvement which I'll be replying to shortly. I'm trying to find the balance between appropriate micro-management and free handed EVE RP. I think we're doing alright there.
There will be a thing happening shortly, maybe after the rerun election or in tandem with it that'll play a part in the next phase of the storyline - and that will be open to engagement - hopefully through the PANDORA system if it is up a running right by then, or by whatever other mechanism we choose if it can't perform how we want it to.
I'm also considering an 'election night party' at someones IC venue (maybe the Gal Lounge or somewhere else that is appropriate) through which all characters can engage.
