Many ppl think the position of governor is a bit pointless and silly, but some of us on our server have embraced the competition. There have developed two separate factions, with voting coalitions on both sides, and the race is often very very close between two representative candidates, right up to the end.
Last night's 'end' was one of those very close finishes. The two candidates were within 5 votes of each other, switching back and forth for the lead for the last hour of the race. It was very exciting ~ WC was flying fast enough to make some dizzy lol ~ and everyone pulled out all stops to get the last votes in.
The problem, the glitch, is in the timing. The polls were supposed to close at midnight server time. At that time one of the candidates was ahead by 5 votes. However, the polls did NOT close. They stayed open, accepting more votes for several more minutes. The candidate who won at the buzzer ended up cheated out of the governorship by a few votes.
Any explanation? This has not happened before. Understandably, many are calling foul.
