this post is typed in bits and pieces from friday night till today

each person will be given 10 votes this tuesday to choose the 10 nominees which he/she feels should be part of the 35th student council. this means that the 10 nominees with the most number of votes in the faculty will be elected into council, while the remaining 10 of the 50 available slots in council will be decided by the percentile of votes the nominees received from their faculty across all four faculties.

there definitely is competition in Athena, there's no clear cut which 10 will definitely make it into council. however, i personally feel that there are individuals who undoubtedly deserve a place in council and some who most probably stand no chance to make it into council ><
" some groups' level of campaigning aren't comparable to the quality of the videos done by them while some groups' videos did them discredit " quoted from linus
its a statement that most have to agree with...
certain groups will definitely be able to increase their chances by a large margin if they had put more effort into their campaigning and vice versa

hmmm, most of the videos from the athenian campaign groups were really nice
personally like K.O.'s and Running For Council's the most. their effects were really well done and the ideas used in the videos were kinda unique
but teleportation was seriously overused, most videos have scenes of people teleporting here and there

kinda messed up on the one minute speech part >< although some said it was okkk but i didn't really feel that it was haha. oh well it's over now and i'm kinda lazy to type out what i wanted to say initially. it's something similar to what i've posted at the start of March

" a better portfolio and other motives are driving some out there to run for council. surely, there will be these sort of people, that's how the real world is, materialistic. not everyone will do things without knowing there will be benefits. however, we mustn't forget the dedicated ones out there who are truly certain about their decision to run. it isn't entirely about showing support for your friends who are running for council, there's also a need to pick out the right people who deserve to be voted in. open your eyes people, and take a good look at who the person really is before making your decision a month later.
why is he/she running for student council? "

going up on stage, telling everyone that you have the passion to serve the school, believing that you're able to make a change isn't really quite enough. i mean, if you're really that passionate and driven to get into council, you'll put in all you've got during the campaigning period, making sure that the campaigning and video done by your group is the best you guys are capable of. from how i see it, some groups aren't doing so, the sincerity just isn't clearly shown. i admit that Freshly Baked's guilty of this as well, i'm certain that not every member of the group is giving his all over the past couple of weeks. furthermore, the effort that some nominees from other groups have put into the whole campaigning process is certainly commendable.

Athenians, and everyone else from the other faculties, choose the correct people...
