#By far the best option. It's time to get DDR back where he belongs.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 22:34, 3 October 2010 (BST)
#Tough choice to make here. It was either this or Yonnua. But I think DDR has one very important thing going on, and that's experience. More then anyone else here. I also picture him to be a good partner to Rosslessness. Fit for the job, even if he isn't as active as in the past. (don't pull out saying you don't have the time, like the last crat election!) --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style="color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 22:35, 3 October 2010 (BST)
# I'd like to vote in favor of DDR. He has been a major help to me, and I really feel he should be given promotion. He and Yonnua are the most active in terms of community involvement (I've barely heard of Misanthropy, and hadn't heard of Red Hawk until a few days ago), But I really feel that DDR should definitely have the position. {{User:Dezonus/sig}} 00:08, 4 October 2010 (BST)

#Some of Misanthropy's recent rulings have confused me a bit. DDR's too, but he doesn't seem to be swayed in quite the same way by some people. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:07, 17 October 2010 (BST)

===Misanthropy===
:<span class="plainlinks" style="font-size:8pt">'''[[User:Misanthropy|Misanthropy]]''' ([[User talk:Misanthropy|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Misanthropy|contribs]])</span>
# I'll start with the shortsighted mudslinging and then move on to the praise.
#:DDR may have seniority, but he's far too impulsive, and I [[UDWiki:Featured_Articles/Good_Articles#Mycock|don't]] trust him to be an impartial counter-puppet in crat elections. Rather flammable.
#:Red is easily the most trustworthy sop eligible, but his activity levels are inadequate: 500 edits in 3 months.
#:Yon does have decent levels of activity and my trust, but he doesn't seem to be very interested in the wiki itself, but rather the community using it. Rarely corrects typos, elaborates on things, or any of the other things that make the wiki a better reference. He just chills here.
#:Mis has long been active as [[Fluck Library|fluck]], has hosted an almost excessive amount of events, and has never challenged community consensus. I trust him more than any other candidate to act in the interest of Kevan, the community, and the encyclopedia that is this wiki. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 22:57, 3 October 2010 (BST)
#Red is too inactive recently. I still don't know enough of Yon to trust the crat buttons to him. So, it boils down to Mis vs DDR for me. In VB cases, Mis has been more heavily leaning towards enforcing the rules impartially (most blatantly in the Cornholioo cases), so I trust rather him to make good and fair use of the crat buttons. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 17:40, 4 October 2010 (BST)
#Mis seems to be the most reasonable candidate.  He has the ability to act impartially which is sorely needed here on the Wiki. --{{User:Lois Millard/sig}} 17:42, 4 October 2010 (BST)

::I'm pulling out to support DDR. In my opinion, he's the best candidate by a mile, and pretty much the only decent one (Red is unfortunately not going to make it for now).
