I am kind of disappointed that people I would prefer to win didn't even get into the runoffs. Oh well... Now to have some fun... If I reassign all my votes to Alec, he will be just a couple votes away from getting into top 3. This will also mean that any minor candidate will be able to decide who gets into runoffs. Should I do this? :) PS Drakey, are all vote reassignments permanent, or can candidates change their mind later? -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

It looks like to me that since 4 candidtates are fairly close together in votes and everyone else is essentially out of the running, we should extend the final election quota to 4 and then everyone should really have someone they'd like to vote for, including TM. ^___^ Oh, and TM, even though you're not too fond of me, I'd still like to give you a welcome back, though I have no votes to transfer. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Kelandon, you win the battle of wits. With your fiendish reassignment, not only have you made the change you aimed for (replacing Alec with Stughalf in the finals), but you have prevented any individual finalist from reassigning his own votes to reverse that decision without sacrificing his own candidacy. Only a concerted effort could reverse the action, and at this point, who would trust each other sufficiently to do that? Not that I especially mind Stughalf getting in, but I'm disappointed at the way you've effectively kicked Alec out of the race, a very promising candidate. Ah well. It is an impassé, my friends... -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

I would be wholy for extending the final voting to four candidates if Drakey would be so kind as to allow it. *gives TM welcome back hug* [ Sunday, July 10, 2005 18:05: Message edited by: Jewels of the Forest ] -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

If there's a call for a recount, I, as one of the resident Floridian voters, ought to head it. :P Oh, right, and I actually voted. Aran's fanatic campaigning bought me. It seems as though he might actually do something with the board. Maybe. Dolphin got the other good chunk of my votes, due to her prolific posting record and troll-knowledge. Thuryl got some too, because he's blunt, and TM as well, because there was a passing chance that I could contribute to a General revolution. Go team go? Indeed. -------------------- Wu wei... it's the only way Posts: 154 | Registered: Monday, June 20 2005 07:00 |

I think that a spread out time zone would be a good choice for the General mod team. We need an Aussie to enter the team so that when the Americans are in bed, Thuryl (as an Aussie) can possibly be online to lock any topics that are innappropriate or if they are too spammy, if a flame wars starts, etc. It would greatly help the Generalians (people who visit General) of the community and enrich their experience. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step.

Given that I've not witnessed a "flame war," and am dubious about the idea of electing someone because they would lock topics, it seems the only real problem is new accounts being opened for the sole purpose of harassing members. It has been stated elsewhere that moderators can't stop new threads from being opened, they can only lock and modify the content. That said, it seems that being a moderator is not very attractive. They aren't leaders in the community that direct the flow of conversation, or work tirelessly to improve the environment. And I don't particularly see that it needs improving. Alorael and Drakey are here often enough, and saunders shows up occasionally, Khoth and *i as well. I may be naive, but I fail to see how anything but maturity and restraint can be called assets in this competition. I have respect for thuryl, but fail to see how a rational person could expect that adding a +10GMT timezone person would radically change things. We have Khoth, who I think is in England, being awake 10-24GMT. Any American being around from 0-5 and 15-24GMT. That leaves the gaping hole of 5-10GMT, which is too early for most Americans and too late for Europeans. I guess if the majority of questionable posting originated in SE Asia, the Philipines, and Australia, I could see the need for geographically specific moderators. But that is something we don't know as board members. I know of one instance where the questionable posting originated in France, but that was quickly countered. The recent rubber numbskull postings happened in the middle of the EST day, and it was only a miracle that the second instance wasn't attended to immediately. The point, or summary if this post is as long and boring as I suspect, is that this isn't really all that big of a deal. Really. Nothing will change if the list of moderators does indeed change. Sorry to be a kill-joy. Edit - If things do change as a result of a moderator switch, then I suspect it will not be for the better. This is already a nice place to hang out, without excessive force of personality, and I don't see it as able to improve. *this message sponsored the american society of nihilistic political commentators* [ Sunday, July 10, 2005 22:13: Message edited by: Jumpin' Salmon ] Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I agree. This whole election has been ridiculous. Most of the candidates are spouting off crap, and trying to impress the simple-minded with big words. My honest is opinion on this is... I don't give a damn. The only perks of being a mod are holding your rank over someone else's head. This election was not even needed. The moderating team does a more than sufficent job. Alec didn't start this election for the good of the forum, but for the good of himself. If he didn't think he'd win, we wouldn't even be here right now.

In response to the post on the second page... (I hate it when a dozen people post and change the subject when I'm asleep) I don't. I just said so because I do not wish to vote for him. He's a popular figure and I dislike anyting too popular. I am antifan. If I can't vote for Aran, I'll have to settle for Donald Duck. -------------------- "Son--err," her father said, "I mean...

quote:Or when you don't realise there is another page, which I have done on mulitiple occasions. Salmon - There are a lot of variables involved with that. For example, they will most likely never be on until a specific time, and they may not get on at the exact time. Also, the mods might not be aware of any of the troubles (though I doubt it) if any appear. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step.

Right now, the mods have basically the entire day covered, with a small gap when board activity is generally nil. Only the top three will advance. In case of ties, I already have several tiebreakers in mind. I would imagine that vote assignment is permanent. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

If vote reassignments aren't permanent, this will turn into a guessing game, decided by who can outmaneuver whom with the last vote switch 2 seconds before the deadline. It could be quite fun. :) While I am not sure whether people would want results of primaries decided by who can place final vote change a few seconds before deadline, I think such version will make this "elections" game more fun. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.
