I find that short, effortless campaign telegrams are much more effective than detailed ones, so I'm just gonna follow those statistics and use the short, effortless ones. Sorry.

Sums up the WA I suppose. Shame.

What's so important about having detailed campaign telegrams? Is it just that writing long and detailed campaigns takes more effort than what is necessary to do the job?

It does not need to be long and detailed. But if you cannot even summarise why I should even open your link and approve a proposal, I will not read it.

It is possible to just "not read it" without actively opposing it at vote, as you promised to do in this thread. If you just refused to approve proposals with low-effort campaigns, I can respect that; but opposing anything with a low-effort campaign creates the implication that an expecation for an author wanting to pass their proposal should be that they put more effort than actually necessary in campaigning for the proposal.

So authors are doing the bare minimum with their campaigns. Thus, I will also be expecting a proposal written with the bare minimum effort, and will then use a minimal amount of effort necessary to press the 'Against' button at vote.

Please note that as per discussions with Tin, I am intending on writing a new (much tougher) draft that's to my liking, as I borderline opposed (before joining) Jedinsto's draft, and I never fully signed on to Morover's draft.
All posts OOC. (He/him). I don't speak for TNP. IC the "white bear" (it) is for jokes only.
