Election with not all seats getting filled

Postby Elf » Fri Nov 24, 2017 7:41 pm

Hmm.. last election we Pontesians had 666 seats up for grabs, but only 665 of those actually got elected:

Is this a feature designed to not offend sensitive Christians? :mrgreen:

:lol: Specially crafted for you, my friend. I've seen the bug in the past. It seems that it usually clears itself up.

As Reddy mentioned, this is an occasional bug that doesn't seem to last. We're looking into this anyway.

Don't know if it has anything to do with it, but could having a number of seats that doesn't divide by 5, and the in game law: equal representation (for regions) regardless of population, be the cause of it. Because the law says that all regions will get an even number of seats, and 666 doesn't divide equally among the 5 regions, it takes 1 away to make it divisible by 5 and get an equal split. The same thing is happening in Davostan right now, who have both a number of seats that doesn't divide by 5 (101), and the law obligating equal seats per region - only 100 seats are distributed.

Therefore, I think it would clear up if you changed this law

from equal representation to something else.

Arapaima13 is correct. The table summarizing the region seat distribution is showing the wrong total. 133x5 = 665, it's as simple as that.

Thanks for all the replies! Don't think I've ever noticed this before, because I usually insist on having another law on seats allocations, in case PT's regions would suddenly ever start to diverge more than they do atm. :D
