Consider adding every election outcome to the list, because they're all noteworthy. Besides those, here some other tidbits I can remember. \:D/
  • December 29, 2008 - the ToO Hall of Power was opened.
  • June 12, 2009 - Mayor for a Day with Dr. Watson (during iTaliq, but appointed by Iron Crusader).
  • September 22, 2009 - Mayor for a Day with Trent and Laura.
  • During iTaliq - dracie and Tyler are appointed to the tech group.
  • Also during iTaliq - several AIO characters visit in an un-named mini-arc.
  • October 11, 2009 - The Second Church is moved from being a long-time fraction to Old Gower Road.
  • July 29, 2010 - Mayor for a Weekend with DAM.
  • During KR2 - Eugene is appointed to the tech group.
  • The third election had the most votes (110) and the highest number of teams (5).
  • Term one had the lowest number of mods (9).
  • Election thirteen had the highest number of posts, threads, and money needed to enter the race ($250,000).
  • The fourteenth election had the lowest amount of money need to enter the race ($4,000) and was the first after the reset/upgrade.
  • The most recent election (before the current one) broke a four-election streak of having two teams on the ballot.

There was also the very first Mayor for a Day, with myself and Taq. \:D/ That was during David O and JF's term, and the dates were January 24-26, 2007.
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.

I'd rather live as if there were a God, and found out there isn't, then to live as if there weren't a God, and find out there is.

She's right. The first Liberty convention was in October, but the second LU convention was in early November (the 5th-8th, I think). :p

If someone would like to collect the dates of the main events of this most recent arc (nobody making the money deadline, Catspaw becoming the evil dictator, the clans being restarted, the dodgeball fight, etc.), I will add those in.
