Tale 8 sees the Test of the Elder, which replaces Test of the Demi-Pharaoh. For this test, you elect Elders for your faction. An Elder can kick someone from a faction, making them a Nomad. Banning by players is no longer possible.

The Election

• 10% of the "Active in Faction" Population* must petition the Great Hall to trigger an Elder Election
  • "Active in Faction" means 'Paid and logged in in the last 30 days'
• There is no limit to the frequency at which elections may happen
• Before the Election begins, a Calendar popup will give you 3 RL days to sign up for participation in the Election
  • You can sign up then or at any other time for subsequent election by visiting a Voting Booth.

Faction Elder "Powers"

• Elders may build certain Faction compounds/structures
• Elders may pick up Planning Permits at their Faction Great Hall when completed
• Elders have 8 uses of power to invite a member to the Faction
  • It is rumored if the person does not accept, the use is still consumed
• Elders have 8 uses of power to kick a Faction member out of the Faction
  • Elder on elder kicking is possible

Apr 12, 2018 1AM Eastern on ENN: Apophis: [09m] Hey, everyone. Apophis: [09m] It's a late night for me, so I'll be brief. Apophis: [08m] The petition for election code was broken badly. It kept resetting the list of people petitioning for an election. Apophis: [08m] All of that code is now fixed. There is still a bug where it doesn't reset the election after it's complete, but that can stay for another night, as it's already way past my bedtime. Apophis: [07m] More importantly, all factions have elections, as you all completed your numbers multiple times over in the last few weeks. Apophis: [07m] A bit about triggering elections now Apophis: [07m] In order to trigger an election, 10% of the people who are active in a faction must petition for an election. Apophis: [06m] 'Active in a faction' is defined by 'Paid and logged in in the last 30 days'. Apophis: [06m] We are going to work on getting some faction census numbers to you guys in the near future, but obviously, there are other things that need to be fixed first. Apophis: [05m] In closing, I apologize to everyone for the bug, and hopefully we're past that now. Good night.
