August 2009

Election started. Suicidalangel's bureaucrat spot is now being voted on. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 04:22, 15 August 2009 (BST)

Voting is now closed, and with a tie, the final decision now rests upon the remaining bureaucrat. --  RoosterDragon  04:23, 29 August 2009 (BST)

That'd be Link. He voted for Boxy so Boxy it is then! Unless Link is allowed to change his vote, AFTER the election has been closed. Did I sum that up right?--Thadeous Oakley 10:32, 29 August 2009 (BST)

I don't remember. Do we have a run off? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 12:11, 29 August 2009 (BST)

User:Boxy

1. SA is good but he's been too inactive for my liking during the past couple of months. Boxy's been keeping his eyes on all parts of the wiki lately and he knows the 'crat job well. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 10:17, 15 August 2009 (BST)
2. SA's been a good crat but he's too inactive these days. Boxy knows what he's doing. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:20, 15 August 2009 (BST)
3. Boxy has had his break. I say we make the bugger do some proper work again :) --Honestmistake 12:28, 15 August 2009 (BST)

    I thought I would never have to do this. But the lesser of 2 evils. At least boxy is active, and I have more fun on the wiki when he has actual power--CyberRead240 05:51, 29 August 2009 (BST)

    And since buzz's vote was struck you feel you need to stand up for his rights yeah? --xoxo 06:44, 29 August 2009 (BST)

    lol @ this buzz sitchay'shon. But anyway, I am just stoked that the 'Crat election might come down to my vote.--CyberRead240 06:56, 29 August 2009 (BST)

    2 late, voting closed -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 07:47 29 August 2009 (BST)

    oshi, charlie just told me i had to vote by this afternoon. ohwell.--CyberRead240 07:49, 29 August 2009 (BST)

    Technically it should have ended 24 hours earlier than it did, if you check the math, because counting the 15th, the 14 day period ended yesterday at 4.00 BST. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 09:38, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Actually Buzz's vote should be considered valid as there is no proof the account is a sockpuppet.--xoxo 07:49, 29 August 2009 (BST)

True. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 09:38, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Yes, and I thought you couldn't struck puppetry? Or was that only meat puppetry? Exceptions are made in case's where its dead obvious or something?--Thadeous Oakley 10:28, 29 August 2009 (BST)

The account was pretty clearly purpose-made as either a meatpuppet or a sockpuppet; its first edit was to vote on Boxy's bid, and the IP traces back to the town Sexy, Jed, Nick and DDR all hail from. You connect the dots. We don't strike meatpuppets because you can't prove that they were actually contacted offsite, but here the proof is conclusive that something went down. We just don't know which variety of puppetry it was. Cyberbob  Talk  10:41, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Thanks for the explanation Bob. Quite a coincidence, all the same town. Do they all know each other ;)?--Thadeous Oakley 10:47, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Yes. Cyberbob  Talk  10:48, 29 August 2009 (BST)

But we're not all from the same town...--Nallan (Talk) 11:17, 29 August 2009 (BST)

and tbh the bbk doesnt really have vested intrests as a whole these days. Judging from the voting, and only because I dont really give 2 shits about what 2 cool do on a tactical scheme, it looks as if they dont agree on this issue either. Theres quite a few people in this city, and at one point, there was at least 40 UD players from our school alone. Could be anyone, but it wasnt anyone I know, and it wasnt from 2 Cool as Jed is in Sydney, and Nick might as well have just changed his own vote to Boxy rather than making an alt to cancel himself out. Actually changing his vote would have made a 2 vote swing so yeah. I can't answer for DDR though, I have no idea if he knows who it is or not, I'd have to wait for him to comment--CyberRead240 11:51, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Also Jed is from Sydney, forgot to add it. Also what happens with elections now that its a draw?--CyberRead240 11:56, 29 August 2009 (BST)

No idea. Have another round of voting with just the two of them that only goes for a few days maybe? Cyberbob  Talk  12:03, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Oh you know what I mean Nick. Don't be a nitpick. Cyberbob  Talk  12:03, 29 August 2009 (BST)

I used the 2 Cool/BBK thing because it's an easy way to talk about everyone in that area without having to go through and painstakingly name everyone. I'm not saying that you guys all got together and planned it out because as you say - you're obviously not all in agreement. But to try and say that it was some random other guy is kind of silly because of the fact that the vote was the very first edit the account made. Cyberbob  Talk  12:03, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Well, if you read closely, I dont think it is a random guy. I just know its not me, and its not 2 Cool. As I said I cant answer for anyone else because I dont know the details of anyone else, and I also dont want to sit here and point fingers. Its up to you to read between those lines.--CyberRead240 12:10, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Well my best guess outside of those people would be...DDR? Cyberbob  Talk  12:13, 29 August 2009 (BST)

1. No, Im not sure how my brain works either. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 09:54, 15 August 2009 (BST)

   I'd say DDR. Nothing against Suicidal, but I think DDR would be better for the wiki for the time being.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 10:06, 15 August 2009 (BST) Changing to Boxy.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 11:06, 28 August 2009 (BST)

   This election has me pretty much cornered in between chosing different shades of pure eVil. Well maybe some not that bad, I'd go for Cheese (Krazy Monkey) without a thought if he weren't so damn inactive these days. So I'd say DDR. Everything against Suicidal, and I think DDR would do a capable job, he isn't a sheep yet he is also not rebel for the sake of being rebellious. Someone who can think for himself without having an extreme view on things. Though I think he should bury the hatchet with Bob.--Thadeous Oakley A Challenge you ought to try 11:41, 15 August 2009 (BST)

   I'm pretty sure there's no hatchet to be buried...? People can have arguments without personally hating each other's guts you know. Cyberbob  Talk  12:35, 15 August 2009 (BST)

   Well if you say so. That was quite a heated argument then.--Thadeous Oakley 13:30, 15 August 2009 (BST)

   I do say so. We've had plenty of heated arguments and they never go any further. Cyberbob  Talk  13:48, 15 August 2009 (BST)

   One argument shouldn't define an entire relationship. I take nothing out of my arguments with Bob, I've always trusted him to do the same. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 14:23, 15 August 2009 (BST)

5. I would vote for myself, but some people say that is tacky. So I will vote for my BFF and ride his coattails. Besides, SA is trying to good things around here.--– Nubis ^NWO 17:38, 15 August 2009 (BST)

   Hey no fair.... I wanna Cat Alt to manipulate votes too :) --Honestmistake 11:22, 18 August 2009 (BST)

   Puuuur. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 15:57, 21 August 2009 (BST)

   depends on what their names are.... and I thought you were Nubis's cat alt, or are these cats actually your kittens??? --Honestmistake 17:50, 26 August 2009 (BST)

   Well, I am a little slut.. they could be my kittens...--– Nubis ^NWO 18:04, 26 August 2009 (BST)

   Given you said Argo was your cat that means there must have been some serious "family lovin'" going on.... Can I have the one with the webbed paws? --Honestmistake 22:31, 26 August 2009 (BST)
