Shortround

I originally wanted to wait for monday to put it up exactly 2 months since the original bid, but I'll have a night appointment on monday and probably won't get around to do any wikiing.

So, yeah, Shortround. For his own reasons to get promoted, just look up here and let me get on with my own words.

He has kept up his gnoming activity and has since also spreaded out to the opinion pages. The main complaint of him being too new should have been alleviated given the time that has passed since.

Furthermore, while it technically shouldn't influence sys-op promotions, our ability to get stuff done has become weak. Sys-op activity has heavily declined in the last few months, and even the more active ops don't get things done daily anymore. We are in dire need of bolstering our ranks with some new faces and people who are willing to carry some serious gnoming workload, and I think Shortround is by now ready for that. -- Spiderzed█ 18:15, 13 May 2012 (BST)

  • Vouch - He still has some quirks, but those can be worked out, and I'm confident he'll be a good addition to the team. There's no doubt that his work has been great these last few months and that he's really sought to address the concerns that were voiced in his previous nomination. He also handled the previous rejection extremely well, which speaks well for him and his maturity. In fact, I was even considering putting him up for nomination myself, so I was glad to see that Spider had done so.
    Despite all my praise, I'm a tad concerned by his overeagerness for the position (i.e. something wrong in his head, as the saying goes) and would offer some minor suggestions. First, be careful that you don't let it go to your head. People who are overeager are oftentimes so because they see the position as a status symbol. Don't be that way. Second, you've been playing the role of crowd-pleaser for the last two months to reach this point, which is fine, but be careful that you don't play that role in your rulings. We need correct rulings, not popular ones. I doubt that either of these will actually ever be problems, but they're things I'd suggest you be aware of and take care to avoid anyway. —Aichon— 20:00, 13 May 2012 (BST)
    Overeagerness comes from "good old days" feel because I've sysoped on wikis before. Very different to UDwiki, but the feeling's the same.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 06:59, 14 May 2012 (BST)
  • Question. Do you accept the nomination? ~Vsig.png 21:18, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
    You know I jolly well do.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 06:59, 14 May 2012 (BST)
    The prosecution rests. No further questions, your honor(s). Vouch. ~Vsig.png 16:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Vouch another minion to do my bidding? excellent. and yes i agree with aichon, you must be sick in the head to want this job.--User:Sexualharrison23:34, 13 May 2012
  • Vouch - Like me 4 years ago, with cosmetic differences. (Maybe, I don't know. Could be not.) --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 00:28, 14 May 2012 (BST)
  • Questions:
    Will you promise to phonetically spell your words so that it sounds like Shortround in my head when I read your words?
    Do you, or have you ever roleplayed a young female anime character?

  • Vouch - I don't think you would have got the time of day less than a year ago but activity inside the ops circle is bordering on atrocious and you certainly could change that DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 09:01, 14 May 2012 (BST)
  • Vouch - This fella's been busy and seems quite happy to continue to do so. Makes sense giving someone the buttons who actually wants to do it, rather than the rest of you tired old hags who've long gave up the fucking ghost. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD | 10:22, 14 May 2012 (BST)
  • Vouch - You remind me of me, too. Around this time after I joined I had thoughts of going for sysop. Main difference between us? I realized that I just wanted the status, and I was too lazy for the job. Don't see these becoming problems for you (but 'coz you reminded me, I'm having those thoughts again. Bad good example! ;P). -- †  talk ? f.u. 12:15, 14 May 2012 (BST)
  • Strong Vouch - Great user, though I have doubts whether all of this work will be worth it in the end for him. Good luck though, and give'em hell. -- Cat Pic.png Thadeous Oakley Talk 13:43, 14 May 2012 (BST)
  • Question What did you learn from your last bid?/ Why do you never say, We're not sinking, we're crashing? --Rosslessness 21:18, 14 May 2012 (BST)
    Last bid taught me much, specifically about the scope of the role of sysop here. Stuff like the fact that sysops are seen as having an important role in terms of drama and shouldn't solely be administrative and the fact that, as a direct result, it pays to know both the community and the game quite well so that you can deal with those issues fairly as they arise. Generally stuff like that. And I shall say my beautiful dialogue if and when it is necessary. :) --Shortround }.{ My Contributions 09:22, 16 May 2012 (BST)
    Ha, It's Capshaw's line. You have chosen poorly. --Rosslessness 21:58, 16 May 2012 (BST)
  • Weak Vouch -- No real concerns, just haven't been around him much. Asheets 22:07, 14 May 2012 (BST)
  • Vouch I've seen his activity about the wiki. I had that fire once, too bad it died before I ever tried to make anything of it :P        02:01, 17 May 2012 (BST)
  • Vouch – Quick, clap the chains on! Child labour FTW! ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 12:08, 22 May 2012 (BST)
    To be fair, you didn't make it clear that you didn't block all of China after suggesting you would. And you still blocked a good chunk of it. >_> —Aichon— 04:49, 24 May 2012 (BST)
    A drop in the bucket. Still getting spambots from the same province, let alone country. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 05:52, 24 May 2012 (BST)
    Reconsidered. Aichon is right once again. Grr! Argh! *shaking fist* ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 01:20, 28 May 2012 (BST)
    /me does the "I am right again" dance —Aichon— 02:25, 28 May 2012 (BST)
  • Against Son of Sin
    aww someone is bitter and still stupid. and your sig is lacking a time stamp moron. making your contribution invalid --User:Sexualharrison03:05, 23 May 2012
    Since this isn't a vote his comment is technically valid even though it lacks a timestamp. It doesn't count for much since he didn't justify it, but it is valid. —Aichon— 03:31, 23 May 2012 (BST)
    Son of Sin does not play Urban Dead anymore. --→Son of Sin← 22:07, 25 May 2012 (BST)
    no one cares.--User:Sexualharrison23:59, 25 May 2012
  • Just a warning: If you people promote me, you should know that I just got Diablo 3 and have noticed that days disappear incredibly quickly while playing it. Fair warning.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 20:52, 23 May 2012 (BST)
    I'm still waiting on my Collector's Edition, otherwise I'd probably be joining you. Shifty >_> <_< ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 01:20, 28 May 2012 (BST)

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Congratulations --Rosslessness 14:53, 31 May 2012 (BST)
