Headmin Election General

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:58 pm

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME DEMOCRACY?

OK guys, SoS has given me the go ahead to start the ball rolling on the headmin election. As agreed upon in these two threads: http://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1635 and http://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1655 there will be three elected headmins. One elected by the players, one elected by the coders, one elected by the admins.

IMPORTANT: The player vote will be happening before the admins and coders vote. The admins have already begun discussing how we will decide on our headmin triumvirate champion, I plan on talking with coderbus to make sure they've got an idea of how they want to handle things. Please remember that only ONE of the candidates in this poll will be elected, who will then work with the other two headmins decided by the coders and admins after it is done.

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. If they are to not win, they can still be elected by the coders or admins. 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 (http://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=38) with the subject line "HEADMIN CANDIDATE: [insert name]", this thread will then be linked in this post below. Aside from nominations, this thread will also serve as the place to discuss the election generally, discussion and endorsements of candidates should be limited to the candidate threads and the general player discussion thread (http://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1739).

The nomination period is now over.

The first round of voting is taking place NOW (Friday the 24th to Sunday the 26th) a run off vote of the top contenders will then take place immediately after for the next three days. After these two votes take place, we will have our player elected head administrator!

Code: Select all

+-------+-------------+
| votes | candidate   |
+-------+-------------+
|    45 | AN0n3       |
|    41 | Bluespace   |
|    39 | Ikarrus     |
|    39 | Hornygranny |
|    23 | Pandarsenic |
|    13 | MisterStaub |
|     4 | Comrade Leo |
+-------+-------------+

Per-request i will be running a query to detect and ignore multiple votes by one user and will be updating this with the results.

Post clean up results:

Code: Select all

+-------+-------------+
| votes | candidate   |
+-------+-------------+
|    39 | AN0n3       |
|    38 | Bluespace   |
|    31 | Ikarrus     |
|    29 | Hornygranny |
|    19 | Pandarsenic |
|    10 | MisterStaub |
|     4 | Comrade Leo |
+-------+-------------+

In sort: Excludes new accounts and throwaway/idle accounts who have not played much or at all d. Also excludes all admin and .txt coder votes. While this is likely to catch some false positives, none of them will be active players.

A run off vote is currently queued to run with the top 4 people, and will show up in the game server once sos adds it.[/s]

WE HELD THE RUN OFF VOTE. AN0N3 HAD BEAT BLUESPACE BY A SINGLE VOTE. A SECOND RUN OFF WOULD HAPPEN, BUT BLUESPACE HAS CONCEDED TO AN0N3.

AN0N3 IS THE NEW PLAYER ELECTED HEADMIN.

IT WOULD APPEAR HORNYGRANNY HAS WON THE CODER VOTE!

THE ADMIN VOTE HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND, THEY HAVE VOTED FOR IKARRUS!

wait so do we like post who we wanna nominate for headmin?

ColonicAcid · Post by **ColonicAcid** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:20 pm #37158

ban0n3

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:21 pm

Yes, and if your nominee accepts they will then make their candidate thread and I will link it in the second post above. (they don't have to make a thread, but like, it'd be kinda crappy not to)

Blackiwhat · Post by **Blackiwhat** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:25 pm #37162

Oh, alright then, uh, an0n3.

EDIT: He was already nominated. If multiple nominations don't matter, then my choice is Skorvold.

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:29 pm

Doesn't really matter either way, it's about who accepts and decides to actually run that matters.

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:33 pm

Please refrain from endorsing nominees until they have confirmed their candidacy.

Ikarrus · Post by **Ikarrus** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:54 pm #37181

Can I ask for a temporary subforum for these candidate threads so they don't spam/get lost in General?

10/10 suggestion.

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:56 pm #37183

If people think I'll do a good job, accepting the nomination is the best way to prove them wrong.

Seriously though, yeah I'm in. I'll go make a thread.

And yeah that suggestion is a great one.

paprika · Post by **paprika** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:58 pm #37185

Subtlegraces and pandarsenic if I can nominate multiple people

miggles · Post by **miggles** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:01 pm #37188

i thought subtle semi-quit tho

Ikarrus · Post by **Ikarrus** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:01 pm #37189

I nominate Hornygranny, Antonkr, and SubtleGraces

Just burnt out, you know the deal. I'm sure he'll be back. If not, he won't accept he nomination and won't make a thread, up to him. I'd like to see him back though.

Bluespace · Post by **Bluespace** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:05 pm #37194

I would like to nominate myself to run.

UtterNewbie · Post by **UtterNewbie** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:16 pm #37206

Thank you for organizing and putting the time into it QuartzCrystal.

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:19 pm

No problem.

Also, if you nominate yourself, feel free to make a thread right away, same with accepting a nomination. No one has to wait for me to put them on the list for you to do that (I'm pointing this out as I will sleep at some points this weekend). The list is just to be as the central hub for players to check out prior to voting.

Saintish · Post by **Saintish** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:20 pm #37208

I nominate an0n3, Skorvold, and, uh, HornyGranny. I wouldn't Bluespace.

paprika · Post by **paprika** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:23 pm #37209

Did you seriously put bluespace on the nominees even though he's not an admin and nominated himself

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:24 pm

paprika wrote:Did you seriously put bluespace on the nominees even though he's not an admin and nominated himself

Unless SoS says no, anyone who is not currently banned can be nominated and accept.

paprika · Post by **paprika** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:26 pm #37212

Yes but can you nominate yourself I find that kind of missing the point

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:30 pm

Unless SoS says no, if someone wants to nominate themselves and run, that's fine.

paprika · Post by **paprika** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:32 pm #37215

Shouldn't these have been questions you asked him about ahead of time?

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:33 pm

paprika wrote:Shouldn't these have been questions you asked him about ahead of time?

To be entirely honest, I did not expect any non-admins to be nominated/nominate themselves as they have to go up against tried and true current admins. No one in adminbus objects to the idea, so I'm not going to prevent it unless SoS disagrees.

paprika · Post by **paprika** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:36 pm #37218

Atlas shrugged. Bluespace 2k14 I guess.

QuartzCrystal · Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:44 pm

Have a decision from SoS:

.:@scaredofshadows:. non-admins can run for head admin, but I would need to clear them first
.:@scaredofshadows:. so people who aren't taking it seriously won't be cleared by me

Apsis · Post by **Apsis** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:45 pm #37223

Have we figured out if people who belong to more groups get more than one vote?

Everyone should pick a side and stick to it. I assume player's won't have sway on any admin or coder votes, so it should be equal on all fronts. Same thing between coders and admins. One person, one overall vote.

Due to the vote being held ingame, it isn't possible (unless I'm wrong here) to prevent coders or admins voting in it.

I said I'd only accept the position if the community wants me, so I'll accept your nomination.

Thank you.

Aurx is currently disappeared, though.

No need to worry about disappeared admins. They have to be around to accept the nomination.

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:59 pm #37234

I'm going for the oldfag trifecta of Anon3, Ikarrus, and HornyGranny - he and I haven't seen eye to eye in the past but atleast he's not a pathetic handholding dweeb like the rest of the administratum

I'd nominate Aurx... but he's a headmin on vg already, so that would be weird.

QuartzCrystal · Sun Oct 19, 2014 12:00 am

Friendly reminder that the players are voting for ONE of the three admins. Not all three.

I'm pretty sure you confessing to being Hitler is having the opposite effect in people's minds. It's exactly like saying 'trust nobody, not even me' in the movies, and then the hero trusts them and gets backstabbed.

Post by **Vekter** » Sun Oct 19, 2014 12:08 am #37240

I hearby nominate SubtleGraces for consideration as Headmin.

QuartzCrystal · Sun Oct 19, 2014 12:13 am

No need to nominate people already on the list. All nominees are being notified by me and asked to either accept and make a thread or reject.

Cipher3 · Post by **Cipher3** » Sun Oct 19, 2014 12:16 am #37247

Spoiler:

Everyone I like is already up there, so basically my entire post was to make that joke.

Will codermins at least be forced to stick to a side then?

I'd say that's up to the respective groups to decide. Personally, there's quite a few admins who also code who I think should have a say in our vote, plus I can imagine the coders may want the input of the codermins.

I'd like to nominate paprika, they are really cool and do a lot of shit around here that nearly everyone else is afraid of doing because of all the flak you get from it.
edit: I just found out pap changed muh precious mining stim pills to retarded stimpacks. They already said no but I take back what I said.

I honestly don't know if that was a serious nomination or not. Please keep in mind I've been gone for a while.

paprika · Post by **paprika** » Sun Oct 19, 2014 12:46 am #37269

I'll pass either way. I won't be able to find the time to remove fun from the game as a coder if I'm an admin.

I hereby deny my nomination. Too many things going on in real life. Maybe I'll run next term.

Nope. Though I and others admins will spam the link to this thread in OOC quite a bit. Plus SoS is is making the thread into the MOTD/has done this already.

Then it's working perfectly. You should be scrutinizing everyone. I'm part of everyone.
