I think I'll change my opinion since wesoda is likely to say no if chosen (very much like omega if I understand correctly).

There are a lot of great choices indeed, from iain0 and wine to spook (and others I don't want to go through the whole list), but I'll go for someone who hasn't been mentioned before: PositiveEntropy. His care for the community is evident, a great sprinter and admin. He's shown the willingness to run and carry the weight of headminning, showing interest in changing the rules and community for the better.

Many people have been saying I'll be the pick, but I have to wholeheartedly disagree. There are good reasons for saying so, but I don't think I can share them.

Ian0 and Riggle are both admins I remember having good experiences with.

Also, weirdly, Sticky, because I think he would sort out the mess that is silicon policy.

They could go wild and do the 'hand the host vote pick to a second admin vote' thing

because the player vote is a popularity contest that's voted on by people who can't see how admins work internally

They could also hand it back to the host but that is functionally identical to giving Sticky the vote

If they gave it back to MSO they'd probably be the most based headmin term ever.

I think we should take the playervote away and give admins a second vote. They’re the ones that know how things actually work after all. Thoughts?

Doubling down on wesoda. They have the right energy to tackle the actual work that comes with the job without any of the grand standing or Monolith projects that only last as long as that headmin is in power.
