So I put together a summary of all the election results found in Politics in the attached text docs. Just the in game date with results of the elections, sorted by org, guild, and position. There's a few interesting things I noted just skimming this though.
There's a gap between around 125CE and 200CE where guild election results were not being posted to Politics, and if Hartstone News is an indicator, not to the guild news either. There is an exception with the Ur'Guard though, whose were posted, but Magnagora's CL election were not posted, unlike the other Org CL elections during that period.
I want to try and compile stats on individual people's political careers, but I need a way to reliably pick their name out of the mess of people's titles and I'm not sure how to do that off hand without manually compiling a huge list by hand. If anybody has an idea how, or better, already has a mudlet function to do that, I'd love to hear it.
I did figure out that
@Rivius likely had the longest single run as a GC at about 84 years followed by
@Shuyin at 77 as Illuminati GC. I'm pretty sure
@Xenthos holds the record for GM at over 200 years and still going.
@Celina has been GC of every Glom guild at least once (and won Shadowdancer 5 times), + Pyro GC. Might be a record?
Funny side note, I spent a awhile trying to figure out a bug with my scan because I couldn't understand how
@Morkarion was elected Ebonguard GC, and then the next election Karlach is getting replaced. And Morkarion doesn't exist anymore??? I blame him for confusing me by not sticking with that weird ascendant naming convention that happened
I'm thinking about publishing an in game book with the Hartstone history after seeing what I can learn about that missing 75 years by reading new posts during that time.

Well, someone just wanted GR19.
Tonight amidst the mountaintops
And endless starless night
Singing how the wind was lost
Before an earthly flight

I remember that... Sherazik ended up not wanting the position in the end, and then resigned. I can't remember if I ran in that election and lost to him or not, but I was PISSED at him getting elected and then resigning immediately afterwards.
The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable.
Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.
Can definitely see which guilds/orgs get the most political drama.
I thought I was the second or third for some reason.

Wow that brings back some old memories!
I was Moondancer GC at one stage, but seems it wasn't recorded
