I want to join a good party but I think there is no party such like that

[Vendrell.]

Make one then.

[Dr.Brain]

Do Timon has any party ?

[Archon]

I suggest the election committee to extend candidate application time for another day, so those who are a bit late can also set up their parties and apply.

A governor can't be late. A governor should be able to deal with deadlines or he shouldn't be a governor at all

[Silvester_Aaron]

Choosing governors makes 0% sense in a light rp server when proper RP rules aren't enforced yet.

[LocMax]

Application period extended as some people asked for more time.
