Hey guys, voting is currently happening for all players but I figured I would post this now.
Next election instead of doing the usual nomination and then creation of a thread for the player vote, it is going to be required that anyone who wants to run (as everyone basically nominates themselves already anyways) must acquire the endorsement of two (2) players and one (1) administrator. Players and admins can endorse multiple candidates if they'd like. Endorsing someone for candidacy is simply saying you'd...
Note appeals:
Notes are remarks about players added to player's files in order to help keep track of player behavior, trends, as well as admin interactions with players. Notes have many uses and are not exclusively used to record rule breaking behavior, but we do recognize that their existence can seem like a black mark on the player.
For those reasons, notes can be appealed if they match one of the following two cases:

What do you boys think about making it so that in character setup, instead of having:
Name:
We have:
First name: Last name:
lizards would have 3 boxes to fill with dashes in between, plasmamen would have 2 boxes (one for a roman numeral)
clown names and shit would still be 1 box
what do you think > u <
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Floyd Mayweather worked far too hard against Marcos Maidana their last time out to have to do it again in the rematch Saturday night. Mayweather dominated Maidana from the opening bell, using his boxing skills to keep the Argentine off balance and pile up points on his way to a unanimous 12-round decision to retain his welterweight and super welterweight titles before a crowd at the MGM Grand that sometimes booed the lack of action. It almost came at a cost, though, in a bizarre scene in...

OH HOLY FUCKING SHIT WE ONLY HAVE ONE NON-APPOINTED HEADMIN AND MSO AND I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR SOME FUCKING DEMOCRACY TO SHAKE UP THE STATE OF THIS GOD DAMN SERVER(s)
We've all done this before, as you should be aware by now, THIS ELECTIONS WILL BE DIFFERENT (
THERE WILL BE A TRIUMVIRATE, ONE HEADMIN WILL BE DECIDED BY THE PLAYERS, ONE HEADMIN WILL BE DECIDED BY THE ADMINS, AND THEN ONE WILDCARD ADMIN THAT MSO HASN'T FULLY DECIDED HOW WILL BE CHOSEN (yet).
Hi, I'll try to make this short and not a wall of text but
The only real thing that comes to mind that I want to solve policy wise is toxins and I want to solve it with a code solution. That thread was spawned from me banning a guy who meta'd oldman robustin because he was making bombs. Something needs to change to make toxins not an antag only job so I'll look into that if elected. I'll probably look into it anyway even if not elected or push to get it changed in someway regardless. I still firmly...
I am running for head admin. Wasn't really sure about it, but more choices can't hurt (hopefully this isn't too late). If you've played at all in the last couple of weeks, you've probably interacted with or at least seen me at some point since I'm on all the time. I observe/play assistant as Rylie Pfeifer, and play security/medical as random name and appearance.
I don't have any big plans for policy, but if you want to know my views on any specific policy, or have any questions in general, feel free to...
Because Coderbus, while absolutely essential to the survival of this game and community, is no more essential than the player base, and needs to be more accountable to the our input.
Because the amount of shit code that has been making it to merge in the last year is insane, and needs to be buffered by popular opinion.
Because most coders decide to enact their pet projects without getting public opinions on the Ideas board of the forum as it was designed for, and then push their projects regardless of...
Hi. You know me as Skorvold, long time GameAdmin who recently came back after a short break. I was getting burnt out on the game before, but I came back with a fresh perspective and better attitude on things. I'm not looking to change much right off the bat, as I prefer to take things on as they become an issue. That being said, I am open to player concerns as well, and I enjoy talking to people about the game/problems with the game at any time. Should anyone ever feel that they have a concern, I will...
The reason why I am considering headmin is mostly because I have been seeing far too much of the easy swaying of opinions and quick complaints against this thst and the other. While there are issues, I do believe that to properly solve them we have to proceed with proper experimentation in a thoughtful and proper time span. This is a primary long term issue that appears to be effecting the key policy and developmental issues that I see in our community.
I can promise the following baseline of activity, sustained through what is hopefully a four-month instead of six-month term,
Looking through bans on a minimum weekly basis.
One-two day response time for contested bans requesting a headmin.
About the same for contested policy issues.
Playing a few rounds each week at minimum.
If time, money and motivation permits,
New blood is life for /tg/, so is enthusiasm and the willingness to contribute back. While I won't promise anything other than the baseline...
In order to be unbanned you must pass the trial of endurance which involves you out lasting me in the argument and you must convince me of the correctness of your position.
Shitlers will never get back in and therefore the server will prosper.
I've made some half jokes about running for headmin, but I've always been seriously considering it.
But I don't know if there's enough people of the classic tg mind set left to want someone like me as a headmin.
And depending on who else gets elected I don't even know if I'll be able to do what I want should I win.
As for what I want to do, I want to:
Scrap the current rule set. It's three or four pages long, it's incredibly overwritten, especially silicon policy, and impedes the game
SS13 at its best is...
since i shitpost too much to get admin normally, let's try to boost to the top and keep my shitposting
endorsements
OOC: TwitchTail13: And I'm also endorsing Punnches420
OOC: Cyfause: HEY PUNNCHES
OOC: Cyfause: SCREENCAP THIS I ENDORSE U
OOC: Iamgoofball: I endorse Punnches420
OOC: Daemonbomb: I endorse Punnches420 for president of spessmen
OOC: Lzimann: punnches for headmin, lets do it
non endorsements
literally everybody else except shaps since we erped once with the captain moneybags q doshington
Endorsements are fucking stupid and turning everyone into quivering retards desperate for smidgeons of approval and it's totally unlike anything we should actually be doing.
Anyone can get an endorsement from anyone and it's dumb and pointless and I'm sick of people pathetically begging each other for endorsements and basically just kill the whole idea.
Let whoever wants to run run and just delete meme candidates at the end. There is no benefit to this endorsement thing it just makes everyone dull their...
If elected, I'll do my best to keep /tg/ an open testing bed for the coders and to bridge the gap between players and coderbus even further. I'll also make sure the rules page is rewritten to be a shorter length than War and Peace, as well as reworking our ban request process.
So, why not make that all 3 headmins are selected via Adminbus instead of having 1 selected by Adminbus, 1 by Coderbus, and 1 by Player vote? Since a player vote can also be easily manipulated and can't be gauranteed to elect either an active or good headmin. Would probably just be better if all 3 are elected by Adminbus.
I've been apart of /Tg/ since the late 2012's. I didn't really engage the community until sometime in 2013. Since that point, I held the admin observer rank for quite awhile doing various tasks such as managing the library database, moderating the forums, and looking through the ban database. I've been a game admin for almost a year. I ran for the last headmin elections for administrators and came runner up to Ikarrus. This year, I decided to run again.
I'm not exactly the admin who runs events all the...
Reasons to vote for me:
I want to be the voice of the players, and make sure what they say is heard, especially in regards to large code changes.
I am personally going to push for public logs. A possible exception would be to scrub ckeys, as to avoid metaknowledge/metagriefing.
A better population balance, for basil, as well as sybil.
For coderbus to come and be welcome into the community of players, not just seen as fun haters for making changes.
okay so
all for transparency public logs etc etc
would probably try make a lot more things IC
would probably give greater leeway to security since it's not an easy job
oh and try bring back erp under pain of admin fuckery
this whole thing appears to be a joke so I might as well make the first serious thread ;)
Why do you want to be headmin?
I think that some of the candidates here must be actually insane and will do anything to water down the results of this vote in the hope of making some small impact and possibly preventing someone from becoming headmin
but really after reading kor's thread and seeing their stance on things i'm feeling inspired so hey lets do it
Do you think the power of the position would go to...
UPDATE: I will be one of three head admins with no authority to deadmin, no authority over the codebase etc. I can try working with people, but I'm not going to be in control of the rules, the code, or most importantly the player attitude. I won't be able to usher some mythical golden age all on my own. Please have realistic expectations about this, I'm afraid everyone is going to be disappointed at this rate.
I don't really expect to win. I don't think many people remember me, and I'm not sure my play...

I'm planning to run for this player vote for a few reasons, primarily to steer us back to focusing on in-game interaction and solutions to in-game problems.
I've personally found that policy has begun encroaching on the game more and more, restricting the players freedom and making people more paranoid about admins than the game itself. As a part of this idea, I intend to prevent any further changes to antagonist behaviour, keeping them free to do as they wish in the game within the reasonable boundaries...
ITS IT I! MrStonedOne! Ruler of forums! Provider of wikis!
I am running for headmin candidacy because I believe that this admin team needs leadership that is capable of looking at the issues, at both the big picture and the small picture, and making well thought out rational decisions.
But most importantly I'm running for headmin because this admin team needs leadership that isn't gonna get fed up with conflict, that isn't gonna grow bitter and start assuming the worst of people, and isn't gonna let the...
Why do you want to be headmin?
hooooly shit there are so many things wrong with this server. maybe im just old and jaded and /tg/ nowadays is super progressive but i can legitimately say that this server i used to love so dearly has become a shithole. i want to fix that.
if not even that then id like at least to be like dannos and sap some of the votes. no offense but there are some candidates here i really dont want to see with any more power than they already have....
I, Sabbat, hereby announce my candidacy for headmin.
If elected, I solemnly swear to provide to make sure admins aren't shit and do their jobs because that's what they're admins for.
I also swear that, when elected I will make sure that player feedback is taken more into account than it currently is, and that less of a circlejerk will happen during admin decisions.
You did not follow the nomination procedure. This is now unlocked however due to An0n3 being a perv.
HELLO I AM POMF123 YOU MAY KNOW ME AS POMF CHICKEN OR D3ATHROW OR THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE FROM 4CHAN, I HAVE PLAYED SINCE 2011 ORIGINALLY ON /tg/STATION THEN ON /v/STATION AND EVENTUALLY GOING ON TO HOST /vg/STATION
I HAVE TAMED THE WILD BEAST AND LED /vg/STATION INTO A GOLDEN AGE OF STABILITY AND !!!FUN!!!, BEFORE HOSTS WOULD LAST A FEW MONTHS BUT I HAVE GIVEN THEM A CONSISTENT PLACE TO PLAY FOR 2 YEARS
This was always meant to be revisited, so I'm opening the floor.
What do people think about term limits and lengths? Right now, as it was agreed upon by the playerbase in a vote, admins serve 6 month terms. There were rumors and grumblings of term limits, but this was never voted on.
