Know what your congressman really does
•
by Etemenanki
Good morning. Today is the 23rd, so in just two days it will be Christmas. What it will also be is the congressional elections. These are always an important election for Canada as the people whom reside in congress are responsible for all of the game elements that can be controlled by the government, as well as the purse strings to feed the army and anything else we desire to do with our money.
Some of you may remember that I put together an article last month about the activity level of the various parties and congress members that were elected in the current month. I personally believe that activity is an important element for a congressman to posses. Many do very little while others work hard.
The numbers I gathered are simply the number of posts, they do not judge the weight or breadth of the text of the post. There is no real way to judge such things as in the end it is in the eye of the reader what would constitute worth. All posts counted were dated starting Nov 26th, and ended around 3:00am (est) or so on the morning of the 23rd.

As an added note, I could not find a profile for either mellisa already or Helena Tuikka. If they have been in congress under a different name they are clearly not masked anymore. Rolo is banned from the forums, Wes Lewis quit congress around the beginning of December, and nea milosu’s character has recently become deceased. I am sure there are other notable things, but I believe those to be the highlights.
This took a little over two hours to put together, staring at forum screens and counting. It sucks, trust me. Enjoy.

voted,good job etem 😉
Norsefire holding down last place. Good work guys...
Good to see Martel actually making you guys look good.
And Wes, you left Congress again? Isn't that like the 2'nd or 3'rd time?
Anyways, nice stats etem. That would be too tedious of a job for me...
PpM does not care how many members a party has. Well actually, smaller parties have a higher chance to get a high PpM.
😮 im a fail 🙁
just seeing that will make me post more
tbf it dosent matter how many posts you make, you could make 10 posts and have a fair idea what your talking about, unlike wes that makes 100's of posts and hasnt a clue ^ _ ^
true post count doesn't matter as much as making your posts count. I don't think i ever flooded congress with posts in my time but having effective posts when I did was a different story.
Thanks for the info, This will help parties decied who really should be in congress. Best of luck in Ontario
Good Stuff
I'm in the top Ten! This is a great tool for the voter. I will post it to my platform. Well done Wes!
While it is true that the number of posts does not neccesarily show what your congress persons activity is really like, if someone only makes 5 posts (and most of those are in votes where they only say yes or no) it really doesn't look very good on them.
As to Norsefire, even if one removes the PTO'er from the mix you still end up with 20.75 PpM, which puts them just above 5th place (which they do reside at Wes). If one goes further and removes Rolo from the mix they still end up with 27.66 PpM, which still keeps them in fourth place. Frankly though I think removing Rolo from the mix would be unfair though as he is a fully known quantity who had 31 votes waisted on him.
I was waiting for an article like that. Look like they were more actions than I thought in CDC.
I will punish those 2 unactives UN's members. mwhahaha xD
But how couls Wes post so many messages in one week!
Etemananki, great job with this! The only change I would like to see is a division between posts and votes. This is indeed a good tool, if one understands its strengths and weaknesses 😃
I have Linked your article in mine, Great job on this again Etemenanki

Wes, obviously I was looking at ppm's...Last place.
And Nathan Slater----Very nice and very true....I like it.
And it's pretty apparent I don't like Norsefire. And would like to make them look bad. But they're doing a pretty good job at it themselves : )
Good job guys 😛
Like the table - thanks.
Spreadsheets... ahh yeah. Hope it is a pie graph next month
Should do this based on the posts on the party forum, because thats where they would discuss party things and all, and then you might get a larger showing of whos who.
That's m'boy!
Great job, Etem.
PS, I rock congress.
Vote TemujinBC as President on January 5th 😃😃
^ lol
You call this a presentation Etemenanki? Yeah, alright fine, I get how linking to your newspaper shows exactly how active you are and all that but where am I supposed to write good luck? Ontario, you need to vote this man into Congress! As long as I'm already nice and safe, of course. Seriously though, just check that spreadsheet out and you'll see how active a Congressmen Etemenanki is, and that's on top of all his other work as Minister and what not. He's truly one of our best and deserves to be back there again!
