Goodbye Shadow B'betsy

Shadow B'betsy has died today, at 5:55 PM, Katinal time, surrounded by her friends and family. We  will miss her. 

On Hold

Starting now, Cenian Sector is indefinitely on hold due to time constraints. I am still working on Ceni, just not posting! When I am able to post more often, I will. 

New Poll Released

The Cenian News Service has released a new poll. The location is here: http://www.VoteFair.org/cgi-bin/votefairgenballot.cgi/votingid=06720-51329-12992. Just enter the same voting ID every time. 

Poll Retracted by Cenian News Service

The Cenian News Service has retracted the poll they issued yesterday, citing the reason that voters in the poll did not represent accurately Ceni's electorate and that voters could vote more than once. 

Presidential Poll

An online presidential and prime minister poll has been established.

Week of 2/3/13 in Review

President Election

Kyn Tucin visited Acta Diurna today as part of his big Elephanthia tour, trying to garner support from the increasingly liberal sectors. He spoke in several parts of Acta Diurna about investing in infrastructure and trying to deter pirates. His speeches were met with wide reception on the trade planet.

Desnol Binnill was trying to capture votes in Cenaci while its favorite son, Kyn Tucin, was away. He talked about his positions on minimum wage, affordable housing, and cleaning out the slums. Many lower-level residents have agreed with him that we need to do more about the slums on Cenaci.

Tatek Representative Cara Crantat, who is poised to lose her seat as the new Constitution rolls around, is talking in the border sector of Teseress. She is calling for talks with the new Democratic State of Waterloo on how the new territory will be split up.

Meanwhile, also on Teseress, fringe candidate Nikita Collensburg is playing on nationalist sentiment, calling for an invasion to reclaim the planets that were "rightfully Ceni's", he said in a speech. These policies weren't met with deaf ears on Teseress, where there is large nationalist sentiment.

Prime Minister Election

Shadow B'betsy again spoke about starport development, this time on swing planet As Lan, where liberal voters have a wealth of candidates to choose from. She also talked about how poverty needs to be eradicated and the slums should go.

Kartot Tarat decided to practice non sequitur on Kitigarg. Instead of talking about infrastructure development or poverty, he was talking about the future of abortion rights. But at least this was the right place to talk about it, because Xitogargs don't exactly have the most tolerant attitude towards abortion.

Sern Aelar of Kitigarg talked about expanding Cenian companies to other nations in his series of talks about expanding the economy. The talks were well received and will continue, analysts predict. His latest talk was on national holovision on Cenaci, after he gave another one in the auditorium at the University of Cenaci. 

Squallyball or Muraball

Rules of Squallyball

1. The objective of the game is to hit the ball on the opponent’s wall, while keeping the ball hitting your wall.
2. Each time the ball is hit on the wall, the person who it it on the opposite side of the wall receives one point
3. The first person to 10 points, winning by two, wins.
4. If both scores are within two points of each other when each has ten points, the players will continue playing until one person reaches a point two points more than his opponent.
5. Any door areas and inaccessible areas do not count in scoring.
6. Balls more than one inch above the hand of the player do not count as a points; however, if the person jumps to a high ball and it is one inch or less from the top of the hand, it is in.
7. Low balls where the opponent has no chance of repelling it do not count.
8. If the ball is low or high against the wall on a serve, it is a false serve.
9. Three false serves per rotation and the opponent gets one point and the serve changes.
10. Points are not valid if the player crosses the centerline. If the player crosses the centerline, the serve switches to the opponent.
11.  No serves closer than 2 feet from the centerline.  
12. One serve rotation is serving until three false serves or a point is scored.
13. If a point is scored by the opposing player, the player keeps the ball. If a point is scored by the serving player, the ball switches.   
14. No catching is allowed.

Squallyball can be played with either one or two people on a team. 

An Overview of 2012

Sorry for the lackluster posting last year, as I had something you could call time constraints. Anyway, here goes. Last January, a major embezzlement case was discovered on Tycufux, the Waterloo sectors joined Ceni and the Senate welcomed expatriates from Arunnia and Waterloo. In February Shadow B'betsy was diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis. March was the most exciting month of the year as Waterloo's revolution started. A referendum to change to an electoral college failed and a referendum to change to a semi-presidential system succeeded in April. May, June, and July were months of fierce campagining for the nominations in this year's election contest. In June a conflict that would be the Flannium War started. Also in July, Muz Mahala joined Ceni and Waterloo's revolution continued. In August the latest census was completed and Ceni demanded things of the new Republic of Waterloo. Also in August, Cenian Sector turned two. The major planet of Wadi Themaneyah fell to Ceni in September. Kyn Tucin turned 44 in October. In November Shadow B'betsy won the CSLP convention and Cara Crantat and Kartot Tarat were the CCU's nominees for President and Prime Minister, respectively. In December the campaigning touched off. That was 2012 in review in Ceni. 

January 1

A happy New Year, to all of our brothers and sisters!
