This time it has sparkles on it
Time to find some new Head admins everyone, who will work hard and write lots of policy posts for six months.

Rules:
1)Only post a candidate thread in this forum if you are planning on running - viewforum.php?f=38
2)You must not be permabanned or blacklisted
3)Do not ask headmins about a particular players conduct, generalise your question, this is not a forum to use the headmin candidates to attack other people
4)If you want to ask every single headmin a question, post your question here - viewforum.php?f=52 - read the rules, this subforum is strict, spamming your question across every candidate thread is a good way to get your question deleted.
5)Low effort posts deleted on candidate request
6)No bribes, or offers/things that could be construed as bribes, you'll get one warning, then you'll be disqualified. This includes coding PR's for votes.
7) Don't advertise on the codebase or abuse it's PR announcer for your own means
8)Do not campaign in the game in an IC fashion, such as Captains Announcements or Stations names etc. Keep it OOC and do not abuse your admin privileges such as global narrates and so forth.

General Discussion on elections/policy/stuff goes in here

Candidate entry is now CLOSED

by **oranges** » Sun Mar 03, 2019 12:10 am #480643

Candidate voting is now open.

by **oranges** » Sun Mar 03, 2019 1:07 am #480648

I forgot to put ricardo's thread in, so we're going to have to update the poll, please bear with us until MSO is available to do that.

by **Jordie0608** » Sun Mar 03, 2019 2:33 am #480658

The poll has been updated and votes have been wiped; if you already voted you will need to do so again.

Congratulations to the Host Pick: Wubli

Provisional results
Please note that this outcome is provisional and is provided only for informational purposes, and MSO must ratify the result before it is final

Voting results
Raw: https://tgstation13.org/tgdb/irvpolltally.php?id=207

Filtered vote for admins: https://tgstation13.org/tgdb/irvpolltal ... rexg%3D%3D

Filtered vote for players: https://tgstation13.org/tgdb/irvpolltal ... hldg%3D%3D

As you can see, Nervere wins both polls after filtering.

Therefore, we select them as the winner of the admin vote, and do the player vote again, filtering out Nervere in a special zeroth round and redistributing votes granted to him as per the players vote preferences.

Filtered vote for players (excluding Nervere): https://tgstation13.org/tgdb/irvpolltal ... TmkA%3D%3D

This poll is won by Hulkamania

Final outcome pending ratification
Admin vote: Nervere
Player vote: Hulkamania

Again please note that these results are provisional, and subject to change as MSO needs to ratify them.

This concludes all voting, the new head admin team will formally transition to power on the 15th after the results have been ratified.

by **CitrusGender** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 12:13 am #481915

Runoff previously went to the admins last time, not the players.

Either the rules were changed this election and nobody was notified or I'm going crazy.

This should have been made more clear since that's how it happened two elections ago.

by **oranges** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 12:17 am #481916

I have changed the rules, simply because I think the player vote happens to be more important, and I'd much rather pick two people they like rather than two people the admin team prefers.

the outcome is the same either way.

Admin vote excluding nervere - https://tgstation13.org/tgdb/irvpolltal ... bX2w%3D%3D

by **PKPenguin321** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 12:20 am #481918

That, and the admin/player polls were combined this year. I don't recall if they were last year but if that's a new thing then that would affect it too

by **oranges** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 12:23 am #481920

MSO and I agreed to run a single poll, since there was no technical reason to run two, as people are filtered by their +ban permission in the admin vote and out of the player vote.

It was just a confusing thing for admin candidates and observers, not knowing what poll to vote in.

by **iamgoofball** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 12:41 am #481922

Congratulations to the victors. Hulkamania will ride again.

yeah, what? i've been paying vaguely more attention to this election than usual and i didn't see this anywhere

it's not like it's an unreasonable stance but if it was just "i decided to change it" with no warning or consulting anybody that's very questionable

by **oranges** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 1:19 am #481933

no it wasn't stated anywhere, I just changed it.

by **elyina** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 2:01 am #481938

What exactly gives you the authority to do that? Why would you get to change that on a whim without consulting anybody because you feel a certain way?

he won both polls.

does it matter which one he picks unless you go "one poll had more vote value than the other therefore it should be that one"
disregard this.

by **elyina** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 2:11 am #481940

That is beside the point. Has it not long been precedent that it's done the other way around? Why would he get to suddenly change that because he feels like it? This is also something that could effect future elections.

by **oranges** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 2:18 am #481941

the authority is that I'm the election official and therefore responsible for the elections and how they're conducted.

by **Ayy Lemoh** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 2:20 am #481942

Ah, I now realized why what Oranges did could be considered bad.

Someone told how that it is not the person who is in first that is the problem. It's the guy in second place. I get it all now. Why didn't you just say so, Elyina?

edit: hulkamania won both fucking times as well jesus. Well, as long as Oranges makes it official for next time then all is good.

by **Qbopper** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 2:27 am #481943

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the person who is literally the one authority on the subject and has near absolute power over the elections to at least give like, a day's warning that the way votes are handled is gonna change

It's the principle of the thing, not really the immediate result

by **MrStonedOne** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 2:54 am #481948

I'm certifying these results despite the questions risen in resolving ties order because results are the same.

Back when the votes were done separately the admin vote was done first IIRC, so it seems to make the most sense to keep it this way.

Before next election we will have all of this written in stone in the how the vote works thread.

Being an unelected """""""election official""""""" doesn't give you the power to arbitrarily decide which of two people should become headmin. And if you tried it I wouldn't foresee it going well for you. If you get to randomly make important decisions like this arbitrarily why can't we elect an "elections officer" too"?

This sounds like a vague, unspecified threat. I suggest the admin team look into this potential threat to oranges. The madman could be threatening anything! Or inciting others to do scary things!

Nervere placed first in both the player and admin vote. Hulkamania placed second in both the player and admin vote. Hulkamania won the player vote after Nervere was removed from the poll.
It would have literally the same results no matter which way you spun it, player vote or admin vote. There is no reason to be upset about this other than 'orange man bad.'

it doesn't really make sense when you complain about "corrupt pigs" or that mso lets headmins decide for him but then justify that with "he's the election manager get over it"
and i say this while i don't care about oranges being the election manager, i think he's ok

Talk about missing the point, I already addressed this. This is something that could affect future elections. Why should you get to decide that? I don't really find "i'm le important election man" to be an acceptable answer.

is this sexual harassment because I raised a issue about potential threats against members of our community?

I suggest elyina be permabanned without appeal and given a false ban reason. For security reasons.

by **Rustledjimm** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 2:13 pm #482031

I honestly don't really care. As long as oranges simply mentions when he's changing the rules and sets it in stone before the elections begin, he has the right to set the rules as long as MSO agrees and we have the right to know the rules of the election. Oranges failed on this second part but I'm sure he will rectify that and won't make the same mistake again.

If you think oranges is incompetent, attack his competency. If you think the decision is crap, attack the decision. But you can't attack the role itself, obviously the election manager is going to manage how the election is run including breaking ties and resolving conflicts.

by **wesoda25** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 10:53 pm #482107

The issue they have is that if oranges switches up the rules next time without anyone knowing, if the same person didn’t come in second place twice, he would effectively be choosing which candidate becomes headmin. Its not an attack at oranges competency, rather his transparency.

This stuff should be set in stone (by oranges) before the election process even begins, because next time we probably won’t get the grace period of having the same person in second place in both areas.

The hate on this one does seek misjudged, its not as if elyina would have won either way.
