Grim s

1. Surprise Yes Providing he does implement the reforms he promised and then step dow he gets my vote... However This support is conditional on his a) keeping the promise and b) Not interfering in the very recent and valid promotion of the last Crat (AHLG)--Honestmistake 15:33, 9 October 2008 (BST)

   One need not be a bureaucrat -- nor even a sysop -- to draft and advocate for the policy changes that Grim was planning. Moreover, he stated his intent not simply to propose them, but to enact them without so much as a facade of community input. And he demoted Gnome along with everyone else, didn't he? -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 17:13, 9 October 2008 (BST)

2. On the grounds that the demotion was a farce. Seriously, it's a very harsh punishment.--Drawde ^{Talk To Me! DORIS Red Rum Defend Ridleybonk! I know Nothing!} 15:34, 9 October 2008 (BST)

   He demoted all the Administrators and forced the owner of the game to demote him.....--CyberRead240 15:37, 9 October 2008 (BST)

   I would have voted for him if he hadn't done that. - User:Whitehouse 15:51, 9 October 2008 (BST)

3. YES --Stephen Colbert DFA 17:01, 9 October 2008 (BST)
4. Yes - In Soviet Malton, elections follow coups. I remind you of one of the votes that got Grim elected last time. "[He is] Not afraid to be a dick." Well, sometimes what this Wiki needs is a good deep dicking, and Grim appears ready to give it. -- Galaxy125 19:59, 9 October 2008 (BST)
