Yes. The playercount was anywhere from 40-60 (about the same as UN and Era today -- not Zodiac, that was a mistake), as compared its pitiful 20-30 now (on its best days). That would make Valikorlia, at the time of elections, a 'medium'-sized server.
I don't know what you mean by 'close', though. If by close you mean we argued over masses, then yeah, we were all 'close'.

I do.

Compare this to UN/Era/Zodiac's players and you'll see why an election system just wont work.

It doesn't matter how close or how smart the players are. What matters is if the people running for manager are capable, reliable, responsible, etc. You should have a situation where the server would be just fine no matter who would be elected, where the election is just a matter of what direction the players want the server to go.
