Per this and this, I hereby nominate:

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard." —H.L. Mencken

Come on, Grim, you know you want to. :P ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 16:42, 5 July 2010 (BST)

Fuck you Revenant. Fuck. you. The Grimch ^{U! E!} 16:44, 5 July 2010 (BST)

Now that's one hell of an opening edit. Ill cycle this as unaccepted. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:46, 5 July 2010 (BST)

Not so fast bucko. Revenant has a decision to make. The Grimch ^{U! E!} 16:54, 5 July 2010 (BST)

right. I'll leave the existing copy in unaccepted until you two decide if you're running. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:55, 5 July 2010 (BST)

oh... fuck you. I hope you get it. fine, guess I Accept too. let the circus commence The Grimch ^{U! E!} 17:00, 5 July 2010 (BST)

Because some bombs need to be dropped:

	Grim is a God
	This User or Group believes that Grim should be nominated for sainthood, and placed on a pedestal with the other greats of our time.

This user fears his wiki overlord(s).

	Grim's Coup d'etat
	This user survived and remembers the Great Wiki Coup of October 9, 2008 by the all powerful Grim s!

	Good Night Sweet Prince
	2005-2008

Discussion

• Vouch. Grim deserves a chance to prove to the people of the world that he is in fact a cuddly little teddy bear. 16:57, 5 July 2010 (BST)
• Question - Would you do a coup, a coup, would you do?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 16:59, 5 July 2010 (BST)

  Answer: Only if you made me crat The Grimch ^{U! E!} 17:02, 5 July 2010 (BST)

  Well that's my next crat vote sorted. Real Question: Are you even vaugely up to date with wiki-events?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 17:03, 5 July 2010 (BST)

  the only answer to that is "Not in the slightest". Although revenant kept dropping references to it, that sly fucker. should have known he was up to something The Grimch ^{U! E!} 18:22, 5 July 2010 (BST)

  Right, I seem to recall you proposing a split of Arbitration in to Arbitration and mediation, for editting and personal conflicts respectively. It's always interested me as a policy, and would you be likely to persue this policy if you hang around?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 18:27, 5 July 2010 (BST)

  If he doesn't, I will, so we'll probably be making use of his brain one way or another. (In a jar, if necessary.) ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 20:06, 5 July 2010 (BST)

• Question Upon your last appearance you felt that the wiki, its policies and administration team were inherently broken (probably massively paraphrasing and distorting you here, but hey). Has anything changed in the intervening time, or do you still feel only a complete restructuring of the wiki is the only solution? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:07, 5 July 2010 (BST)

  I plan to work from within the system. The first thing on my agenda for restructuring is your face (do I know you?) The Grimch ^{U! E!} 17:52, 5 July 2010 (BST)

  Sorry, sometimes I forget we are different people. :P ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 17:54, 5 July 2010 (BST)

• Against - Too soon. Does not meet criteria. Spam bid. --Thadeous Oakley 17:39, 5 July 2010 (BST)

  You I vaguely remember. Something about fucking sheep. I wouldnt accept your approval anyway The Grimch ^{U! E!} 18:00, 5 July 2010 (BST)

• Vouch – Wait, do I have to do this or is it assumed since I made the nomination? ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 18:14, 5 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch - I'm at your disposal, Dark Overlord of the wiki... -_∞ Poodle of Doom _∞ 18:36, 5 July 2010 (BST)

• Vouch - No, seriously 100% VOUCH! --Honestmistake 18:48, 5 July 2010 (BST)

• Vouch - Whatever his past, Grim has proven that he cares about this wiki and has its best interests at heart. ~ AphelionT 19:58, 5 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch - I vouched for WOOT, Grim can't be much worse.--^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 20:00, 5 July 2010 (BST)
• Abstain - You're a mean one, Mr. Grimch. Also, I really don't think I've lived through enough wikidrama to have an educated opinion on this issue. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 21:49, 5 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch mostly for all the memory's. and the impending drama storm that will come from it.----sexualharrison ¯\()/¯ 22:02, 5 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch I, for one, look forward to being under the iron fist of our cruel Overlord Grim. Also he cares more about the wikipedia than any other single user. He'll be an excellent Administrator. -- Goribus 22:55, 5 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - Terrible. The last time he was trusted with buttons he fucked up so bad that Kevan to come in and fix his mess. The fact that he didn't get permabanned is a joke, and this sysop bid is an even bigger joke, whether intentional or not. If he really "cares about the wiki" so much he can prove it by making positive contributions to the community. I suspect the only real reason he'd want to become sysop would be to see how bad he could screw up again.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:52, 6 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - but a vouch for joke promotion campaigns. glad to see this one has slipped through the ever tightening net on wikifun.xoxo 04:00, 6 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - Too soon. Even if he was serious, the wiki has changed a lot in the past year and a half. Linkthewindow  Talk  04:55, 6 July 2010 (BST)

  Also, as Giles. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:17, 7 July 2010 (BST)

• Vouch I'm always in for a good coup. Oidar 08:06, 6 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch - Level headed and rational, will make a fantastic sysop. --Kooks 14:57, 6 July 2010 (BST)
• Against -- As Giles. Asheets 16:22, 6 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch -- The wiki has been missing Grim. MOAR GRIM FOR WIKI 10' -- Jelly Otter 19:41, 6 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - until yesterday, there has been no activity since October 2008. Grim s is definitely not suited to be a SysOp. G F J 20:18, 6 July 2010 (BST)

  That was not Cuddly Bunny Grim's fault, though. 20:50, 6 July 2010 (BST)

  So? Doesn't change the fact he hasn't been active for a year and a half. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:17, 7 July 2010 (BST)

  Exactly. Someone with such an activity is simply not suited to become a SysOp, this is all that matters. G F J 12:42, 7 July 2010 (BST)

• Vouch -- Past deeds show he knows what is best for the wiki.-- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 20:26, 6 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch -- I'd be interested in seeing how "little Grim" mixes with Original Strength. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 00:30, 7 July 2010 (BST)

  Don't you dare compare them, Grim is rational and intelligent, DDR is an overzealous retard who is too headstrong to admit he's ever wrong, which is almost always is. --/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 10:14, 8 July 2010 (BST)

• Vouch - I don't see why not.-- » JS talk contribs » 02:43, 7 July 2010 (BST)

• Against - As Giles. He broke the number one rule of the wiki: never make Kevan do anything. --VVV ^RPMBG 18:54, 7 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - I could cite the guidelines, but I'm sure it would be pointed out that that's simply an argument from authority. Instead, I'll cite a better reason: I don't vouch for people I don't know. Every other candidate I've vouched for has been someone I've known, and even though we're not all friends, I at least know who they are and what I've come to expect of them. Grim, to me, is an unknown, and I don't vouch for things I don't know. It's a mistake for anyone to put their name on the line for an unknown. —Aichon— 20:21, 7 July 2010 (BST)

  fair enough... but some of us are voting in the full knowledge of who and what Grim is/was.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Honestmistake (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

  Of course. I was merely speaking for myself here and making a general statement about my opinion on the matter, but if you know Grim, then none of what I said applies to you. —Aichon— 00:09, 8 July 2010 (BST)

• You're one of my least favorite User here, but I'm still Vouching. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 04:02, 8 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch - The last bastion of hope that this wiki will not be plagued by sysops faggotry and circle jerking. Long live the king.--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 10:14, 8 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - After that long hiatus, he should first contribute for a few months again. Only then an educated opinion can be formed. -- Spiderzed▋ 22:26, 8 July 2010 (BST)
• Abstain - It's a joke, but he'd probably still make a bettter 'op than some.-- Adward  23:27, 8 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch Grim would clearly make an excellent sysop. --Michael Barnaby 00:28, 9 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - Get the fuck out you lifeless diseased afterbirth. Seriously - how have you managed to avoid suicide this long? Cyberbob  Talk  12:43, 12 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch I've heard of you Grim! Also, Why do you got to be a HUGE JERK to everyone cyberbob? Jesus Shut up dude everyone's getting tired of you ranting. I should take you to VB for your Abusive Comments you raging jerkaholic.-- Jerrel tlk _{(82nd!) (Project Unwelcome!)}. 05:45, 13 July 2010 (BST)

  You vouch Grim and then take a swipe at me for being a HUGE JERK? I don't think you know anything about Grim beyond the fact that he exists (I don't think I need to explain why that is a dumb basis on which to vouch someone for sysophood). Cyberbob  Talk  05:51, 13 July 2010 (BST)

  Well you don't have to cuss the poor guy out. If you don't like him, put'against' and leave it at that. He probabley has gone and commited suicide now. Jeez...-- Jerrel tlk _{(82nd!) (Project Unwelcome!)}. 06:03, 13 July 2010 (BST)

  "Poor guy", lol. Grim's posting is such that any sympathy for his shitty existence IRL is quickly wiped out by his self-righteous tirades of LOOK AT ME I CAN WRITE LOTS OF WORDS AREN'T I GOOD AT ARGUING. As far as suicide goes, I certainly hope so but somehow I doubt it. Cyberbob  Talk  06:08, 13 July 2010 (BST)

  I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but Jerk/Annoyance/Troll ≠ Vandal. --VVV ^RPMBG 05:58, 13 July 2010 (BST)

  And that's exactley why i didn't take him...-- Jerrel tlk _{(82nd!) (Project Unwelcome!)}. 06:03, 13 July 2010 (BST)

• Vouch - I vouch for you only on the premise that you try and take over the wiki again, if you promise that you won't, then please remove my vote. ----Ash  ^{|  T  |  яя  |} 23:40, 13 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - Even putting the coup aside there's the fact you've been away for about 2 years and you don't really seem to want this. -- Cheese 22:50, 14 July 2010 (BST)
• Against - After much consideration, I am against Grim_s getting buttons again at this point in time. As many others have pointed out, you have been away from the wiki for quite the spell. Thus, regardless of how confident I may or may not be with your abilities, the fact remains that your recent contributions are most certainly out-dated and maybe even out-of-touch with the current goings on. Integrate yourself back into the wiki and come back in a couple months; then we'll talk. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 09:23, 16 July 2010 (BST)
• Vouch - He is needed. --Grogh 21:33, 17 July 2010 (BST)

*Vouch - A necessary if bitter tonic? He'll actually be kept in check by the current crowd of ops. I think it'd be a good balance. --WanYao 05:09, 21 July 2010 (BST) ignore me --WanYao 07:59, 21 July 2010 (BST)

The community discussion is now closed. The bureaucrats will make their decision.-- Adward  18:00, 19 July 2010 (BST)

So anyway, after the usual discussion with boxy, the decision has been made to deny the bid. I could cite the coup attempt, the fact that the wiki isn't the same as it was 18 months ago, or the fact that you haven't made a single edit in the last 9 days. But the basic fact remains. Without Rev nominating you, I don't think you would have ever considered running again. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:37, 21 July 2010 (BST)
