Found niche bug when testing. Need to get election cycle here because election cycle might be different than current cycle.

This reverts commit e1be3218b3.

+- For Elections: Bot assumes that it always did the step before it. If the step before an action didn't happen, behavior is undefined.
 Object creation in the middle of a cycle is only there for restarting the bot. All relevant information should already

-Dakiny's Clan Council election
-```
-Dakiny is an organization built by and for its members. We are a community of people who come together to support each other in the creation of this magical and unique experience. To sustain what we've created here, and to grow and involve into the future, we vote in our leadership every 3 months to provide an opportunity for new clan members to represent their faction of Dakiny in the Clan Council.
-
-This clan is about human interaction, and the Clan Council positions serve to prop up certain voices within our community, in an effort to shape it as a force for good. Our mission here is to spread love. The more loving Council Members (CMs) we have on the team, the greater the community will grow for all of us to enjoy. There are no term limits, but if you go inactive on RS or become uninterested in pouring your effort into this community, request to step down so that others may contribute where you are no longer able to.
-
-We want all CMs to grow and succeed. Please, reach out for assistance and advice if you find yourself going even a few days without taking real, actionable steps towards the prosperity of Dakiny. Recruiting, hosting events, participating in the Clan Council Discord, and demonstrating the Core Elements of the position are required from each and every CM to grow a happy and healthy clan.
-
-__So here's how it works:__
----message_break---
-Each quarter, a channel is created here on Discord for clan members to cast their vote to determine the Clan Council for that 3-month period. 
-
-**Only clan members can vote and all clan members are granted exactly one equally weighted vote.** If you vote twice for different people, your vote will be annulled. 
-
-All clan members are permitted to run for a seat on the Clan Council as long as they:
-
-**i)** have been in the clan for at least 13 weeks (enough time to have participated in at least one election);
-
-**ii)** have no warnings under their name in the last 6 months and
-
-**iii)** have been active in the clan for the past 13 weeks prior to the first day of elections. To be considered active in that timeframe, one must fulfill the following criteria: hosted/participated in at least three clan events, each one in a different week;
-
-**iv)** are not running under aliases that hide their true identity.
-
-Candidates are permitted to vote for themselves. Once a candidate reaches 3 votes from clan members, they have earned their seat, meaning no more votes can be cast for them.
-
-Then, the new Clan Council Elect will come together to select the 2 High Council positions:
-RuneScape 3 Clan Leader
-Discord Server Manager
-
-The Clan Council will be denoted by the Discord ranks of <@&{clan_council_id}> and <@&{high_council_id}> and in-game with the following ranks.
-<:Rank_Admin:479008185240518656> Admin
-<:Rank_Organiser:479008215024009216> Organizer
-<:Rank_Coordinator:479008238654849045> Coordinator
-<:Rank_Overseer:479008269382451201> Overseer
-<:Rank_Deputy:479008295319896064> Deputy Owner
-<:Rank_Owner:479008325137072155> Clan Leader
----message_break---
-__Here's the timeline:__
-Election begins: {election_start}
-Term: {term_start} - {term_end}
-
-**{election_start}**: Post here to announce candidacy
-**{voting_start}**: Voting begins
-**{voting_end}**: Votes are tallied and winners are announced
-**{highcouncil_election}**: The new Clan Council votes who among them shall receive the two High Council positions of: Clan Leader and Discord Server Manager.
-**{term_start}**: The new Clan Council is officially inaugurated and a drop party (or a giveaway event) begins to commemorate the new leadership.
-
-This process will begin again next quarter on {next_election_start} with the inauguration scheduled for {term_end}.
----message_break---
-**You may now announce your candidacy for a seat on the Dakiny Clan Council!
-**
-You may include a speech with your announcement, as well as specific pertinent facts such as total recruits, time in the clan, past Clan Council experience, and donations made. This data is available upon request via <@&{clan_council_id}>.
