ARE YOU READY FOR SOME DEMOCRACY!?

IMPORTANT: The player vote will be happening AFTER the admins and coders vote and select their headmins. This was generally agreed upon by all parties as the order everyone prefers. Coders will be left to their own devices, and I will conduct the secret admin vote. THIS THREAD IS FOR THE PLAYER VOTE OF THEIR TRIUMVIRATE REPRESENTATIVE. If you would like to discuss term limits and lengths please see the appropriate thread also found in this subforum.

This thread (and the forum) is serving to primarily facilitate the player vote. Please keep in mind all candidates which are nominated (either by themselves or by someone else) will be voted on by the player base. Admins are free to run in multiple elections, though if someone were to win the admin vote they will be removed as a candidate for the player vote, for example. The coders and admins may also elect someone who did not run for the player vote.

In this thread make your nominations (you can nominate yourself), if someone is nominated and accepts the nomination they are then invited to make a separate thread in the temporary election subforum (https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=38) with the subject line "HEADMIN CANDIDATE: [insert name]", this thread will then be linked in the post below when I or another mod notice it needs to be updated. Aside from nominations, this thread will also serve as the place to discuss the election generally, discussion and questions for candidates should be limited to the candidate threads. Feel free to endorse candidates here as well.

We are going to function like we did before. Anyone can be nominated and accept, but not everyone can be a candidate. The host gives the final approval.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
It is vital to point out that due to recent events to do with the changing of our host (again) that it was decided upon by adminbus (and agreed upon by various players, and our host) that the headmin triumvirate will be the ultimate authority on our server. They answer to us as players/admins/coders. Not to the host.

IS DAT SUM DEMOCRACY?

I nominate...

To clarify, I will only add someone to the nominee list when their thread has been made.

I nominate myself

HEY CHUMPS
GET READY FOR SOME

I nominate my favourite admin ever Stickymayhem and pomf

Edit: Over here quartz look.

I nominate myself as a spoil vote parallel. It'll be clear why in the thread.

I nominate myself

>Not making a "Need to have been an admin at some point or other" requirement.

I nominate myself. Candidate thread coming in a few days after I finish nearly avoiding flunking out of college.

Someone's gonna do it eventually, so it might as well be me.

I nominate Bluespace for the position of Headmin.

I also pre-emptively decline any nomination for myself. Please do not wish this evil on me.

shitpost removed

Please send your memes in for review and we'll consider your dankmaster application.

Wait, if Weedscopes can be dankmaster, does that mean I can be Chief Lizarding Officer?

I'll be on Sticky's side for this, not running on my own.

A vote for Loonikus is a vote for a better tomorrow, and a mediocre today.

Well this will nonetheless be a interesting election, I'm particularly interested in who the admins and coders will elect.

i posted in the wrong thread (the super sekret admin forums)
anyway I nominate myself

I wish evil upon nominate Vekter.

I nominate myself. Thread to come soon.

We are going to function like we did before. Anyone can be nominated and accept, but not everyone can be a candidate. The host gives the final approval.

Just a reminder to everyone.

I'm throwing my hat in the ring.

What about Ikkarus? I don't know if they'll want to run again, but due to them being away could someone get in contact with them and ask?

Seems unfair that they should miss out due to being on holiday.

An0n3 is going to get in contact with Ikkarus. This was a concern of mine as well.

i nominate myself

Why is it that everyone and their mother is throwing their hat into the ring?

Steelpoint wrote:Why is it that everyone and their mother is throwing their hat into the ring?

Because they have the ability to along with thinking they will do good.

I nominate An0n3 for headmin.

This clearly lets him focus on his core values, such as devouring our souls with that 1/3 master vote, becoming boliviastation13, working out which server drive is purlek's(for legitimate and non-gasoline purposes), and goats.

Is goofball SERIOUSLY a candidate?

danno wrote:Is goofball SERIOUSLY a candidate?

No.

who the fuck deleted my dog's candidacy thread

Appears to be An0n3. I'll be locking the threads of people who did not follow the nomination procedure as well soon.

danno wrote:Is goofball SERIOUSLY a candidate?

Yes

haha apparently not

Also, after all is done with this election and the triumvirate is chosen, I'm going to hold a forum poll to have people vote whether they want me to continue to facilitate these elections. As I said before, I enjoy doing it but I was basically self appointed so I think it's fair we vote on my performance (at least) after this election.

lol as fucking if any of the current candidates are any more qualified to lead this community than a random shitposter

I nominate Pomf123. Quickly, before someone moves the thread!

I nominated pomf a long time ago check the thread.

Please stop discussing singulo.io

It's not up for debate

If you're referring to questions being asked of the candidates, it's a completely reasonable question given the current goings-on in adminbus.

If you have a problem with it, too bad.

i second the pomf nomination

Okay I should rephrase my comment

Don't pretend you can change singulo.io because you can't

the questions are stupid and whoever made them should be ashamed

danno wrote:the questions are stupid and whoever made them should be ashamed

There are multiple sets of questions from multiple people. If you aren't quite bright enough to come up with your own to ask then kindly shut up. We get it you're super de duper good at shitposting.


Sabbot was nominated and approved on irc

i'm sorry i offended you
please continue asking your very well thought out questions

Oranges has a point. Some of these questions people are asking are things headmins wont really have any say over or authority to control.

Public logs? Nope. That's all me.
Singulo? Nope. That's between me and Oranges.
Coderbus Politics? Nope. That's between them and me.

Focus on policy and rules questions. If I were voting (which I'm not) or running (which I'm not, though I appreciate the nomination) I would be focused on comparing and contrasting how different candidates feel about topics like

Defining what makes the game fun
Roleplay vs. Gameplay
Rule 1 bans
Silicon policy
Permabans and appeals

And other such stuff. Knowing a lot of these folks well I already have the answers to most of these things but you guys don't.
Now's your chance to grill these guys.
