Well, that's a good problem to have...

The slates for the upcoming Baronial election were announced tonight; my initial reaction is that they're all good. None are obviously The One True Person We Must Elect, but none are obviously weak -- each slate has its own distinctive strengths, and I suspect they'd all do a good job. So at this point, I have absolutely no clue who I'm going to vote for when the time comes.

When the modern world is constantly barraging me with lesser-of-two-evils choices, forcing me to hold my nose and vote for the incompetent who isn't actually insane, it's awfully nice for the SCA to present me with a genuinely thoughtful and difficult choice between solid candidates...

ETA: since several folks asked, the slates are (copying and pasting from the Council Minutes, to make sure I get the spelling right):

• Baron Colin Ursell and Maitresse Nicolette Bonhomme


• Baronesse Aurelia Rufinia


• Lady Elana and Lord Dedric

Like I said, all good folks, and I think they'd all probably do a good job...

How weird. Are you refreshing the page, and not seeing my "ETA" section?

[keshwyn]

I was able to refresh comments, but not your post. The refresh button was greyed out. I had to reload ALL the posts in my friends page before your edit showed up.

To be clear, this is the android Eljay mobile client. Which stinks, but stinks less than every other LJ android client.

I just read it in the browser.

It works better, and less spyware on my phone.... (assuming that the LJ app is spyware, because, well, much is.)

[jducoeur]

Ahhhh -- okay, that makes more sense. Haven't tried using the mobile client in ages, and don't know what it's currently like. As goldsquare says, I just use the browser...

[etherial.livejournal.com]

They've relatively recently released a new client which seems much stabler.

Huh -- I think you're using a different UI than I am. (Not astonishing: I use a fairly old style.) I didn't even realize it was now possible to read comments in the friends page itself...
