Election Space

May the (twenty)-fourth be with you when Boxy's seat comes up. -- Spiderzed▋ 20:14, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm preemptively withdrawing myself from consideration in the upcoming 'crat election since I anticipate being offline from the 23^rd to the 27^th. I'll cast my vote when I get back, depending on who's still in the running. —Aichon— 20:40, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

If I go for sysops RIGHT now I will still have 3 days to win the crat election. A ZOMBIE ANT 09:24, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

I am away from the wiki for a day, and no one else can be bothered to kick off an already prepped election. Oh well.

   No, Spiderzed gets to pick iirc.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 05:11, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

   Don't know where it says that but yeah, sure the oldest sysop chooses. A ZOMBIE ANT 15:16, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

   "Rules for starting an election - clause 6." - DDR, 12:46, 29 August 2009. --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 17:11, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

   This rule has actually seen use already back in 2013 when Bob Moncrief and I tied and Ross as other crat had to toss his coin. - Speaking of coins, I would probably literally flip one if it would end up in a tie. There is not one candidate who I think would do a bad job, especially as low traffic as PM, RE and Demotions are these days. -- Spiderzed▋ 19:16, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

   have fun --hagnat 19:38, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

   It was also used waaaay back in 2009; i.e. the one I linked above! =p --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

3. Vote --Rosslessness^{Want to complete a dangerous mission?} 17:20, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Rosslessness

1. Tactical vote, so that Boxy will replace me in a few months in a landslide victory :P -- Spiderzed▋ 11:04, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

   promote them all --hagnat 12:44, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

2. Because I bumped into him in-game recently, so I know he still plays the game. In fact, there were three active sysops there. Quite unusual. The last time I saw 3+ active sysops in the same block was Blackmore 4(04). —Aichon— 01:14, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
3. Back in my day Hagant would have been warned for shitting up an admin page, leading to plenty of unnecessary drama. Linkthewindow  Talk  09:19, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

   warned ? might as well add a week ban or two in there --hagnat 00:14, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

   He said his day, not back in your day Hagz A ZOMBIE ANT 10:50, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

   For goodness sake DDR, stop shitting up admin pages. --Rosslessness^{Want to complete a dangerous mission?} 19:05, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

   Back in my day we had Grim's around... i think it would be a lot worse than a week ban then --hagnat 20:17, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

   Lol. Touche. A ZOMBIE ANT 02:15, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Ineligible Candidates

• Spiderzed - Current bureaucrat.

1. promote them all --hagnat 17:15, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Withdrawn Candidates

Aichon

Still not interested. Being a 'crat only convinced me all the more that I don't want the seat. 20:40, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

1. promote them all --hagnat 12:45, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Result

With the most pointless struck vote in recent history, it is up to me as the other crat to decide who becomes other other crat. Factoring Boxy's vote in (that has been struck on account of a mere technicality, and even that just on 18 minutes lateness), it is pretty clear that the seat has to go to Rosslessness. (Boxy, feel free to take your seat back from me in 3 months. I'm not particularly attached to it.) -- Spiderzed▋ 18:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Balllllllllllllllllllllllllllllls--Rosslessness^{Want to complete a dangerous mission?} 19:02, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

I remember the days when sysope actually actively rallied meatpuppet armies to become crats. Nowadays sysops bring guns to the crat election, so they can shoot everyone else in the foot to make sure they are slower in running away. -- Spiderzed▋ 19:44, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Did someone say meatpuppets? 20:39, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

remember when we had to deal with the Goons and LUE ? I wonder if reddit ever managed to form a group in UD to factor some activity here --hagnat 20:58, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Reddit survivors. -- Spiderzed▋ 21:23, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

yeah, i stumbled upon their group after posting the above. But it appears they never managed to get that many in the group in order to cause an impact in the game. I blame it on the fact that they were using an open board to organize a survivor group. That wasn't a smart move --hagnat 15:10, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm glad to see I've had a positive influence around here. Just remember folks: I didn't want to be a 'crat before it was cool to not want to be a 'crat. —Aichon— 21:10, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Now you sound like you are wearing an "ironic" hipster beard while typing that on an Apple machine. -- Spiderzed▋ 21:23, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Had to shave the (non-ironic) beard a few months back because the fiancée vetoed it. And it was just me being lazy, no irony. After all, trimming a beard takes way less time and is way more comfortable than shaving, and the fact that you can do it every few weeks rather than having to do it a few times a week just makes it even more awesome. —Aichon— 03:56, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

I wish I had a meatpuppet army... Well, under my control at least, I still have no idea who pushed me into the seat years ago. A ZOMBIE ANT 13:46, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

you were doing such an impressive job back then, that i was under the impression you were a sysop long before your first successful bid. --hagnat 15:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
