No message upon election as region lord?

[Bedwyr]

Now, I will freely admit it's been a while since I've been elected as region lord (read: Never) but I thought you received some message along the lines of "Hey, you're a lord now!  That's awesome!  Have fun with your nifty new buttons!".  As is, there's literally no message.  There's the referendum result, which everyone gets, and a message to all the knights of the former region saying that the estate has been vacated, but nothing specifically to me.

On Beluaterra, if that matters.

If this isn't a bug or oversight, might I suggest a message like the one I described above?

Who's working on the poll system these days? I've not looked there for a long time, but I agree there should be a message.

do you get that kind of messages with appointments?

[Kellaine]

I think that would be cool.

[Telrunya]

do you get that kind of messages with appointments?

You do get a personal message next to the realm-wide announcement of the appointment:

Appointed as Lord   (13 days, 1 hour ago)
personal message
Khari Kye, Duchess of the Maddening Star, Margravine of Golden Farrow, Priestess of Sanguis Astroism has appointed you as the new lord of Farrowfield.
You should probably check out the region and estates and make sure everything runs smoothly.

Message has been added in rev. 6614.

This was simply an oversight.
