January was a very busy month in 10000 Islands Politics. Elections were held for the Senate Seats for New Republica South and Blue Canaria North. Former BCN Senator Malecia stepped down from his post as Minister of Labor to run for the Senate Seat he had held prior to his ministry appointment. Mal won with 24 of 41 votes.
 Lower Columbia, in his first run for the Senate, was successful with his run for the NRS Seat and took 29 of 39 votes.

Long time Council Member Cerberion stepped down from his ministry seat. With Mal leaving the ministry for the Senate and Cerb stepping down, Paffnia was appointed as Minister of Labor and The Candy Lane was named Minster of Immigration.

The Council thanks Cerberion for his years of service and devotion and dedication to the Co9.

I apologize for the layout it seems the 10K islands has not made a format that converts over to this forum easily.

It goes both ways, actually.  Wintreath's coding system doesn't completely transfer over to 10KI.

Eww Proboards.

Thanks for the update!

another choppy update from the 10k islands....seriously wish they could help write a forum compatible version.

It's okay, I remember that problem being both ways since updates from here would come out looking choppy over there occasionally.

Also, kudos to Barry for getting knighted!  Though I thought he was knighted quite some time ago...guess it shows how much I really pay attention. 

Thanks for the update! The new theme is pretty awesome, even if it is on an icky Proboards forum.

I'm feeling a sense of deja vu here.  TCH talking about how the coding doesn't transfer, my talking about it going both ways, and then Mooty complaining about Proboards.
