| Message | No. 60 months is definitely too long and would make this game really boring. |

| Message | No. I sometimes wish it were fewer than 42 months, but at least this way it's at the same day and time every week. Making it more than 42 months would make it both too long *and* irregular. Totally unjustifiable. |

| Message | We also oppose. |

| Message | LR - It would not make elections irregular in time. Elections would be every ten days. May we remind all of you that our voter turnouts are currently at about 50%, and this is probably due to the fact that we have the voters vote too much? |

| Message | OOC: by irregular, s/he meant that rather than the election being at a a specific set day everyweek, it's will change, and that this might cause some confusion. |
