I'm actually surprised the Kong effect was not greater. I did not compaign on Kong, at all actually, but there were those on Kong that tried to promote Kong members. The effort looks mostly unsuccessful seeing as Guolin and I are the only Kong players that made it, and probably would have regardless.
I probably worded my post poorly. I didn't mean to suggest that you campaigned on Kong to get more votes here. But like you said, there were people on Kong that did this, which is only natural I guess.
I personally don't have a big problem with the whole Kong effect. A vote is a vote, and people have the right to vote whoever they want. But I still think it might be a good idea to have the minimum post count thing the next time.
I think that all 12 members picked, deserved a spot in the council so I'm very happy with the results.
