Yeah, see, it IS already unfair that the last parties have to wait longer before they have their primaries.

I donno, personally, I just think it would be an unfair advantage for the first party to know their candidate for president a full three weeks before the last party does. Then the first party's candidate can do all sorts of planning weeks ahead of the other candidate, such as select a running mate, do all sorts of campaigning with the knowledge that you already won, ect.

You're only arguement to announce it right now is that you don't want to make election stuff for the next three weeks and then find out that you lost. Well, just so you know, every party has this problem, even the ones that go last. For the people in the last party, they will be campaigning for the next three weeks, and just as well could find out that they lost, and all of their work would have been for "nothing", like you claim yourself.

So really, I see no reason to announce the winners now. This way there is little difference between who goes first and who goes last. Everyone has the same risks, ect.

Then, after they are all done, I will announce the winners, and then everyone will be able to start from scratch will a full, free month to campaign some more.

Yeah, that sounds good. So do you understand, Romplayer? I want to make sure you understand, since you're the one who's brought up the most complaints. Basically, it's fair to make you wait until the end to know, because the other parties will also have to wait until the end to know. The fact that you could be campaigning for three weeks and find out that you lost is no different from someone in the last party campaigning three weeks and finding out that they lost. You both lose just as much time.

That sounds fair to me. Let me know if this still sounds unfair in any way, please. I want to do what's best and right and fair for everyone, heh.

Heh, the whole thing is sort of moot anyway, since no one is campaigning, heh.-jay
