Election Space

The next election (assuming we have no demotions or resignations) will begin on January 21, 2013. Aichon 23:08, 24 October 2012 (BST)

Start Time: 00:22, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Finish Time: 00:22, 04 February 2013 (UTC)
Aichon 19:03, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Eligible Candidates

Karek

  1. A ZOMBIE ANT 02:55, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
    The guy you didn't support as a sysops gets your support as a crat? Flip-flop! --Thadeous Oakley Talk 09:45, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
    Aichon has enough reason and logic for two human beings. So that leaves the last spot and I could really use something fun to watch. A ZOMBIE ANT 11:16, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

  3. While I think Spider has probably been the best sysop among the candidates these last few months (more even-keeled and active than Karek; more experienced (and willing to vote for others :P) than Shortround), I tend to think that Karek would be a better 'crat. Honestly, Karek and I are about as different as they get. He and I disagree a lot...which is exactly why I think this would work and what I think we could use. Since Bureaucrats only really have the power to veto decisions, deadlocks get avoided while dissenting concerns still get raised. Win-win. Plus, whereas I'm mostly seeking to maintain or return things to the status quo most of the time (i.e. a path that eventually leads to stagnation), Karek tends not to be, which is something we could use. Spider is a good guy, but I can't shake the feeling that if I voted for him, I'd primarily be doing it as a reward for being the best sysop, rather than because he'd be best in the role. Aichon 21:45, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  4. Karek has been around the longest and has a strict way of thinking. His seen what kind of sysops work and which don't, so he'd be a good crat.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 22:25, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  5. Sometimes I get logged out somehow and I just kind of not come back until it randomly shows as logged in again. I have no way of explaining how it happens nor do I care. Also, you guys don't have to put spaces after the pound sign.--SA 20:01, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
  6. If Shortround doesn't believe in himself anymore, I'm forced to pick the lesser of the 2 weevils.--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS DORISFlag.jpg LOE ZHU | Яezzens 06:24, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
  7. I've returned very briefly only to maintain this election as a tie. OK. I'm done. See ya in a few months, UDWiki! PS: I've already got my next account lined up. ;D --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:56, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
    What a fucking surprise. When I fall, I'll weep for happiness 03:05, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
    I hope an 'op checkusers all of the new accounts until they find out which one is yours. And then I hope they accidentally let it slip in an email to another user by accident.--SA 13:19, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
    Don't worry. Not like it won't be half obvious. A ZOMBIE ANT 03:10, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Pfft. It's not like getting around CheckUser is hard. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 13:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    True, I still have an alt I used to multi-vote like a cunt that no one ever found. :3 --SA 14:54, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Shortround

Rage against the machine! --Shortround }.{ My Contributions 01:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
can u self vote? very tacky.--User:Sexualharrison05:58, 21 January 2013
Yeah its in teh rules. ~Vsig.png 06:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Read the voting FAQ... "Can I vote for myself? If you are a sysop and eligible for voting, you can vote for yourself." --hagnat 02:46, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
thanks old news... and learn how to indent.--User:Sexualharrison04:24, 4 February 2013
I don't know who you are enough to dislike you. --THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS DORISFlag.jpg LOE ZHU | Яezzens 07:33, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  1. Iäh! Iäh! Short-Niggurath, black spambot of the woods! -- Spiderzed 17:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Spiderzed

For the record, I don't plan to withdraw, and feel not just most likely, but also ready and willing to pick up the mantle. -- Spiderzed 18:12, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

  1. Ross has expressed multiple times no desire to run, so Spiderzed has the best remaining combination of experience and activity. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 00:59, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

  3. box who?--User:Sexualharrison05:44, 21 January 2013
  4. so what would happen if you all withdrew? ~Vsig.png 16:25, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
    I win. Aichon 17:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
    Aichon coup without all that nasty misconduct. ~Vsig.png 18:09, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
    Of course, my first act would be to write a policy that allowed us to elect a new Bureaucrat somehow, since it's lonely at the top. Aichon 21:48, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
    You should really learn to be more evil. ~Vsig.png 00:16, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
  5. I assume Karek has no real interest, and shortround self voted, which is laaaaaaaaaaaaame, so Spiderzed gets my complete and undomesticated support. --Rosslessness 18:45, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
    Eh, I'd do it if voted to it. Much like most things but no, not really. It's never been something I've actively sought out. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 20:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
    The thing is I feel spider is a good counter to A. --Rosslessness 18:34, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
  6. *Splat!* Petite Fille 12:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
  7. +1 Spiderzed Gordon 18:39, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
  8. I can't vote for Ross. I can't vote for Boxy. What else am I supposed to do? --AORDMOPRI ! T 20:16, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
    You don't vote at all because you're ruining my attempts to create a draw this election. And also delaying my debut of my new account. Grr! Argh! *shaking fist* --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:41, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
    Umm...rule #6 at the top? If it's a tie, Karek is going to win unless someone can convince me otherwise before the voting concludes. Aichon 21:50, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
    I know that. But at least the final voting results will be a draw. :3 --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:16, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
    I'd totally side with spiderzed. --Rosslessness 20:15, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
    So would I, considering my vote's been invalidated. I couldn't care less either way, all it means is another thing to weigh in on. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 00:22, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
    Are you still "done" and "retired", AH? Just checking because, you know, it seems a little grey now. When I fall, I'll weep for happiness 20:20, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Withdrawn Candidates

Boxy

  1. Why would anyone not vote for a box in the bureau? --Karekmaps 2.0?! 04:36, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  2. Crat4Life. Well sorta. ~Vsig.png 05:50, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't take enough notice of the personalities (or the wiki) to do the job proper, like -- boxy 10:47, 21 January 2013 (BST)

Candidate expressed a clear desire to not run. Aichon 04:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Weirdly today I managed to acquire a new Girlfriend. COINCIDENCE???? --Rosslessness 18:44, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

You probably shouldn't admit to abduction on the internet, I hear they look into that these days. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 19:20, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
This is why UDWiki will always be my first love. --Rosslessness 19:27, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I'm glad I wasn't the only one reading it that way. It sounds to me like Ross has a collection of them or something. Aichon 19:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
I read it like that too. A ZOMBIE ANT 00:51, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Result

With 11 votes, Spiderzed is the new 'crat. Congratulations to him, and a thank you to Ross for the service he's done the community in filling this role. I'll process things in just a sec. Aichon 05:29, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
