By inactivity, I mean at least 1 week of not performing headmin duties for any reason.

Inform the admin team.
If we're assuming 1/3 headmin votes work, try to handle any ban appeals for short bans and handle candidate->trial admin promotions. Most stuff can wait another week.

Inform the admin team fully, sort any last minute business that can be done and go inactive for a week. Server wont go crashing down, its happened before, and for longer.

"Inform the admin team fully but more than Fikou or Kinnebian would." That's really just the best and only answer to this. I would need to alert the team, spend a day wrapping up as much shit as possible, and then try to keep the inactive period short.

Tg will survive a week without me shitposting in Admin-bus and other various serious channels

But yeah pretty much the only reasonable thing to do is inform the admin team. If the other two are already away its not like you can wrap up anything anyhow. I guess you could prepare stuff for the other two to look at assuming they get back before you.

In case it's a really busy week that absolutely requires headmins to do things, probably briefly promote someone competent and active to do what needs to be done during the unspecified amount of time until at least one of us returns. In the event it is entirely a normal week with nothing going on, simply mentioning we're all out is likely more than enough.

Let the admin team know when to expect me back and that they should probably let people know requesting headmin review or admin complainting shit that response time will be delayed due to headmins being out.

If I'm the first back I'll start looking at the backlog of bullshit, start compiling summaries so that when the 2nd or 3rd gets back we can just start banging stuff out. If I'm not back but the other 2 are I'll just tell them to do whatever without me, just keep the show rolling.

If I go inactive for an extended period of time I will simply step down and hand the keys to Goofball.

Announce it to team, and try to at least keep some contact. If other two would be unlikely to come back within a month I'd probably do a quick thonk about temporarily delegating the responsibility to some GM.

It's pretty hard to imagine a situation where I'd step away and be unable to internet for a week, I guess I get hit by a bus or something, that's the one work always trots out. Though I don't get much lead time for that.

Regardless, to answer the hypothetical anyway, the place should generally run just fine for a week. Definitely sub-optimal but pretty sure the place won't burn down in absence. Make sure everyone knows, make double sure the Game Masters know and ask them to fill in if absolutely necessary. They already know the job better than I currently do but thinking of things like "admins going dangerously rogue with their powers" suddenly, or compromised accounts, stuff they'd probably have some handling of anyway, but basically any "emergency" that might need prompt handling, and hopefully between them they'll have people who can step up to the plate there.

Edit: I guess I didn't answer "beyond a week". Two weeks here feels kinda pushing it, proper delegation to let the other headmins process stuff will probably have to be done, and anything longer than two weeks probably invites replacement, temporarily or for the rest of the term.

All the other candidates who are admins have explained this better than I would. It's obvious.

Changing my answer, I would inform the admin team the amount Chesify is but times infinity

I would inform the rest of the admin team, but far more than any of the other headmin candiates would. I would personally deliver them handwritten letters, page them, message them, text them, and leave at least five voicemails. All jokes aside though, I would try to wrap up any urgent business and let the rest of the team know.

really depends on how long the absence is but i'd probably just give the keys to vekter for the duration of the absence. ideally we'd leave a trio of folks but 1. i cant think of anyone else off the top of my head and 2. the "keys" would literally be mostly responding to questions from admins, so i don't see the point in leaving a trio.

for serious serious matters, game masters are available for things like that. they're already present for serious matters- there's a reason we don't retire them (because they usually give heavy input on serious matters)

if vekter wouldn't want to take the keys just for the week i'd probably cry. it would feel like i left the oven turned on the entire time i'd be gone.
