Thomas Leys is again at the reigns of the LoSS following the voting procedures of the organization. Of the eleven votes cast, Leys himself won eight.
"I would have liked to win," said Maron after reading the announcement. "But I knew my chances weren't great. I've been talkig with Leys about taking on a position for LoSS PR anyway."
Minister Glark, ambassador to the LoSS, could not be reached for comment, but left a prewritten statement saying "We tried, and failed, but we did try. No more could have been asked of us. Still, it was a sucess from a diplomatic standepoint, getting our name out as people who care."

Maron runs for Sec-Gen
The Aerican Empire surprised the LoSS recently by announcing that they would put forth a candidate, Nathan Maron, for the position of Secretary General in the upcoming elections. Maron was selected for the poition rather than ambassador Glark himself after the government decided that the Secretary General should not be a delegate himself. Maron's chances, he says, are slim. He knows that Thomas Leys, his adversary, is a well liked man.
"I like the guy too," said Maron to reporters. "I don't think I have much of a shot at this, but just being there, showing the world that we care what happens, is a big step. We can't wait for them to see past the happy faces. We have to be out there and forcing them to see that we are here, that we can be serious, and that we're not going away just because they don't like us."
Elections are to be held in mid March.
