Dark Day for Dwayna

As Carl has already pointed out previously, Wintersday has come and gone once again, and the denizens of Arena.net celebrated by opting to keep the winter going for a long time to come.

As the screenshot above displays, Grenth was re-elected this year by a landslide vote, making a complete mockery of Dwayna's entire campaign. This result obviously demonstrates what most have long already taken as a proven fact: clean campaigns simply don't work. Grenth attributes his victory to the advice of his manager, Castellan Puuba.

"Dwayna's followers spend year after year preaching the idea that virtue is its own reward--that good will always prevail over evil," says Puuba. "Our party takes a different approach, one that has proven so effective that we've won the last two years running. The Grenth re-election campaign runs on the simple platform: 'We are against those things that everybody hates.'"

This anti-hatedthings approach seems to elude the Dwaynian movement, much to their detriment. When asked for comment, Dwayna's campaign manager, Prince Rurik, responded with his own question in turn: "Why do people keep trusting me to know what's best? All I do is lead them into traps!" While this particular Carl cannot provide an answer to his query, one thing is obvious: the population of Arena.net has spoken, and demands a cold future. ... and more corn.

Dwayna should realize that the Carl prefers the cold and will always assist in prolonging the winter (even if it may have an adverse effect on corn crops).

That being said (and Rurik's incompetence being completely and truly acknowledged), I'm betting the vote was rigged. ;-)

Alls I know is that *this* Carl attempted to remain an impassive watcher, even refraining from voting himself, due to a lack of candy cane shards. ... And a general indifference to the process, but mostly the candy cane thing.

The Carl embraces indifference.
