FAE
@SaintWacko Yeah, with changes like adjusting the difficulty curve and stuff too. :/
 
@KevinvanderVelden You can come over to my place afterwards if you want. (about the same time away though)
 
@badp AHA
 
@badp Exactly what I predicted it'd be.
 
Boring, where are the bees

@badp Mod elections? That's what you were counting down towards?
 
@BenBrocka 21 DAYS
 
I WAS PROMISED BEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!1!

@Powerlord It's almost like late January is when Arqade has it's regular election!
 
Bah
 
8:00 PM
So did we make some mods "disappear" like @fredley said some time ago..?
 
I was expecting something exciting
 
and back to programming
 
@SaintWacko New moderators are exciting
 
I was hoping for news on the Pokemon Bank :-\
 
So what you're saying is we need to 'disappear' some existing mods? — fredley Nov 4 '13 at 18:06
 
8:01 PM
@badp we don't know yet
 
FAE
@C-dizzle bwahaha
 
Just look at it: 3 slots
THREE. SLOTS.

Q: Can I import savegames from Tropico 4 to Tropico 4 Gold?

TimSo far I played Tropico 4 without Modern Times, but now I purchased the Gold Edition containing basegame and expansion pack. Is there any way I can copy my progress from the base game to the gold edition? I already looked into C:\\Users\Name\Application Data\Tropico 4[ Gold]\. If I only copy th...

 
That's like almost TWICE AS MUCH MOD ABUSE.
 
we're electing three mods?
 
8:02 PM
@badp Can I win two of those slots?
 
@Wipqozn You can try!
 
Skydrift for mod, 2014!
2
 
Wow. That's a lot, considering we skipped last year supposedly because we didn't need anymore.
 
@Sterno Told ya!
 
@Sterno Yeah, but all of our current mods are really lazy. Especially that @jmfsg guy.

Q: 2014 Community Moderator Election

CommunityThe 2014 Community Moderator Election is now underway! Community moderator elections have three phases: Nomination phase Primary phase Election phase Most elections take between two and three weeks, but this depends on how many candidates there are.

Q: 2014 Moderator Election Q&A - Question Collection

Grace NoteIn connection with the moderator elections, we will be holding a Q&A with the candidates. This will be an opportunity for members of the community to pose questions to the candidates on the topic of moderation. Participation is completely voluntary. Here's how it'll work: During the nominati...

 
Oak
@Wipqozn yes, and you get double the mod powers that way
 
Quick someone make a @GnomeSlice campaign poster in the style of "@GnomeSlice returns" posters.
 
@Arperum Hmm if it's about the same time then it may not be that useful =p. Might be fun but we'll have to see
 
@Unionhawk I don't plan on nominating myself.
 
room topic changed to The Bridge: General gaming chat room, wherein we look for three courageous people to experience diamondification [-....] [-doge] [-fun] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [murder] [the-event]*
 
8:03 PM
You don't need a nomination to have a poster >_>
 
@KevinvanderVelden It's a saturday, you can come over and have a little LAN here :p
 
@Arperum heh, I like the idea, I'll know if I'll have my drivers license on the 30th, that should I think be enough time to still get a ticket
 
Unrelatedly, I'm not getting married.
 
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that I hope ronnie makes a return.
 
I'm sorry we couldn't get free LAZERS shooting cat exercising kits for everybody.
 
8:05 PM
Hey I got a badge for opening the page
 
@KevinvanderVelden Small venue, but I still need to get my ticket too >_>
 
@GraceNote Had you been planning to?
 
@GraceNote That seems unrelated to everything ever.
 
But there should still be tickets by the 30th.
 
@Sterno I did, in fact, preface this.
@GnomeSlice One of these days it might be nice.
 
8:06 PM
@badp !
 
@GraceNote Oh, I meant like, had you been engaged and this is an announcement of it falling through?
 
but I promised fireworks!
 
Because if it is that would suck.
 
please type the following to obtain fireworks
 
@GnomeSlice No.
 
8:06 PM
insert coin
 
Three mods, eh? I'm not certain there's three of you I would vote for. :P
 
@Arperum I've added it to my calendar, if I don't fail and I can get tickets I should be there :)
 
Someone hurry up and nominate yourself so I can downvote you.
6
 
@JasonBerkan Just vote for me three times.
 
8:07 PM
@Wipqozn I'll get started on hacking the SE software, just so I can do this.
 
Slightly less terrible gif.
 
Those are the worst fireworks I have ever seen
 
What are we voting about?
 
@Unionhawk Your sucking at fireworks is not a problem of mine.
 
@spugsley Election.
 
8:08 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Let me know if you get a ticket, then I'll make sure to get mine too.
 
@spugsley Moderator elections.
 
SELF SERVICE FIREWORKS
 
There. You guys figured it out now?
 
@Frank Nope
Still haven't figured it out.
 
@spugsley Dolan
 
8:09 PM
@Sterno You should run so I can upvote you.
 
Being a mod would be awful. Nuclear votes are the worst because you can barely ever cast them.
 
@GnomeSlice who's running?
 
@spugsley Nobody yet.
 
@spugsley everyone!
 
Nominations just opened.
 
8:10 PM
NOT DOLAN IF YOU SAY DOLAN THERE WILL BE BLOOD

A: What are Nidhogg's actual controls?

SthreeveHere you go, I searched around for the same thing earlier so I thought I'd share. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=216329928#213850 You may change your key configuration by clicking the button at the at the bottom-right of the screen at the Start menu. Alternatively, yo...

This has the worst formatting ever.
 
user15026
Whee, all has been revealed! :D
 
1 min ago, by Sterno
@spugsley Dolan
 
nvm
He fixed it.
 
Oh....you don't need that much rep to run? I thought you needed like 10000
 
8:11 PM
I should make a Dolan themed amusement park and call it DoLand
 
Now to nominate myself! I've had much experience in taking flak.
 
@AshleyNunn Now you're also in the dark of my next steps! :D
 
You get a nomination bee and you get a nomination bee, and you get one
 
@spugsley ronnie didn't have 10000 rep.
 
@spugsley 2014!
 
8:11 PM
If I just made my nomination speech "vote 4 meu gais r dum" would you vote for me?
 
@Wipqozn I would vote. It would be a downvote.
 
@Wipqozn yes
 
@Wipqozn you forgot 'pro much' in there
 
user15026
@Wipqozn perfect yes 100%
 
8:11 PM
What the slice said
 
@Wipqozn -1, not enough Pro Much
 
@Wipqozn I would be very saddened if that won you a spot.
I mean, you're not even pro much!
 
user15026
@Frank I'd laugh forever
 
FAE
@Frank I read this without the "that" and was like "Wow, that's harsh, even for you" then I re-read.
 
8:12 PM
@Frank I know right. He's the least pro much
 
I still haven't heard back from those people who wanted to do a conference call with me. What should I do?
 
soooo anyone thinking about running?
 
Should I email them again?
 
tell me tell me tell meeee
 
@spugsley Not me.
 
8:13 PM
Are we even going to have 3 candidates?
 
I vaguely remember trying to run before and it not going well.
 
@Unionhawk We'll know in seven days.
 
2 mins ago, by Unionhawk
@spugsley 2014!
 
WordPress and Arqade elections? I'll bet EC will run in both.
 
user15026
@Unionhawk I suspect so
 
8:14 PM
@spugsley I plan to.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
 
@Wipqozn in 7 days?...
 
I'm not cut out for stackexchange.
So I'll pass.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Do you have any other way to get in contact with them?
 
I'm....thinking about it. I think I'm nice/cool/words
 
hah, my tomfoolery even hit twitter
 
8:15 PM
@AshleyNunn Just email right now, although her phone number was in her email sig
 
Chat event starting soon: SOMETHING BIG http://bit.ly/zcB7QD
 
@spugsley Go for it pretty lady!
 
@spugsley Just think, if we both ran and won then we'd both be mods!
 
@badp lol
 
We'd be mod buddies.
 
8:15 PM
I thought that adding the event late enough could've avoided that, but oh well
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice You could try it.
 
@tombull89 WordPress is on its second week already.
 
where is that
event
 
FAE
I used to want to run, but I don't know if I should anymore.
 
here?
 
8:15 PM
@Wipqozn it'd probably be good to have some balance. Since I'm the best and you're the worst
 
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT HERE
 
They're already on the election phase. Same with CS Theory
 
@GraceNote Huh, I only just got the notification.
 
The event is around you in all dimensions
 
8:16 PM
All directions
 
Chronological, spacial and facial
 
And visual
And... I don't even
 
hmmm
 
MOD EVERYTHING OUT
 
Thank you chrome notifications, now go away
 
user15026
8:17 PM
@spugsley I support that platform
 
@3ventic well then
 
where can you nominate?
 
HOW EVERYTHING MOD
 
user20683
@spugsley So, how's your stomach portal to the Great Beyond?
 
8:17 PM
HOW MOD EVERYTHING
 
@spugsley Me, probably.
 
Evening.
 
@WorldEngineer went to the ER last night. Couldn't wait till the morning :(
but they know what's up so yay
 
@FEichinger YOU MISSED IT
 
@GraceNote are the rep tresholds on the election page still correct?
 
user15026
8:18 PM
@WorldEngineer I am imagining this in my head and it is weird
 
@Unionhawk I already knew what it was gonna be.
 
Just so @FEichinger can say how bad I'd be at it.
 
@FEichinger but you missed the fireworks! and the blackjack!
 
user20683
@spugsley nothing requiring surgery I hope.
 
@badp I believe so
 
8:18 PM
@FEichinger THEN WHY THE BALLS DIDN'T YOU TELL US NORMAL PEOPLE?
 
@badp I only want the hookers, couldn't care less about the rest.
3
 
@badp I See they unkilled the robot in the twitter feed
 
@Unionhawk Oh, come on. It was so friggin obvious.
@Frank Huh? What?
 
@FEichinger It could have been something else
 
@Unionhawk Yeh, right ... No.
 
8:19 PM
@WorldEngineer nope. Just some pretty intense intestinal inflammation all thanks to the stomach virus I had. Got some meds.
 
Well obviously not now
 
@FEichinger They arrived, hooked the fireworks together and left. I just pressed the button
 
@spugsley Is this the thing I gave you?
 
a diamond's gone missing
 
8:19 PM
JEEZ
 
@3ventic Word wrapping
 
@GnomeSlice yes. And it will now linger with me for awhile. Apparently intestinal inflammation is no joke
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I think so, so now you need to feel like the worst.
 
@badp ... That one hurts.
 
@spugsley =[
@AshleyNunn I always feel like the worst!

Q: It takes time for the block to be mined

TheLadyMinerI went mining with a wooden pic and was mining stone and when it should have dropped it took about 5 to 10 seconds to drop after I mined it. I tried logging out and in but, it doesn't work. Is this a bug with my game?

 
@GnomeSlice don't worry. You're not the worst. @Wipqozn is
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Hm, well, that makes it weird.
 
user15026
@spugsley This! This is truth.
 
Not sure how I feel about new mods.
 
@Lazers ...
 
8:21 PM
@Lazers That title is...
 
@StrixVaria This
 
New mods are necessary
 
@StrixVaria Terrible, imagine @Wipqozn being a mod.
 
Yes, new mods are necessary, I agree with that.
 
FAE
@badp Is anyone stepping down at all?
 
8:22 PM
The site has grown a lot and stuff.
 
@Arperum More like imagine how Fantastic it would be.
If I am elected, rainbows for all!
 
I just feel like...who would actually be a good mod besides the mods we already have?
 
@FAE I'm not aware of anybody stepping down in the immediate future.
@StrixVaria We're here to try and figure this one out.
 
@Wipqozn It is well known that you are the worst. Handsome, but the worst.
 
@badp Yeah, it'll be interesting.
 
8:22 PM
In @kalina's fantasy world, @badp is.
 
@StrixVaria I very much feel the same way.
 
FAE
@badp Ah okay, I was wondering if it was 3 because we need a replacement or 3 because we just need that many more.
 
@Unionhawk I wouldn't want @badp to step down
I think @badp is a good mod, and I'm not even being sarcastic
 
@kalina just to stop modabusing?
 
In @kalina's imaginary event?
 
8:23 PM
It could very well be that some of the existing mods might leave after the elections, but I am not aware of such plans.
 
Wait, why is this not on meta?
Oh it's not a post
 
Not that they have to tell me about it, mind you.
 
@kalina @badp is probably the best mod on Arqade.
 
At any rate, I hope you can forgive me for not linking to the election page a week ago
 
@Wipqozn yes, he's certainly the most perceivably active
 
user15026
8:24 PM
@badp Nope, I hate you forever ;)
 
Interesting. There's a character limit on your nomination.
 
Just make sure you forget about that last bit in the next 11 months
 
I feel like @AshleyNunn might be a good choice for another mod. Mod experience on other SE sites, active here, and nice.
 
@John Yes, I agree. @AshleyNunn would make a fantastic mod.
I'd vote for @Sterno as well if he ran.
 
user15026
@John Awwwww <3
 
8:24 PM
@AshleyNunn 2014!
 
@StrixVaria Has been for a while already.
 
@FEichinger We haven't had elections in 2 years, and I'm not active on other sites. Not sure how you would have wanted me to know that already.
 
@Wipqozn I also agree!
 
Yeah. I'd vote for @Sternold as well.
 
user15026
florps quietly
 
8:25 PM
@StrixVaria Didn't say I expected you to know that. Just said that it's been the case for a while already.
 
I think the people who would be the best mods are also the people who probably don't want to be mods.
7
 
@StrixVaria Like me?
 
Shall we run the WHEEL OF MODDINATION?
 
@GnomeSlice No.
 
8:26 PM
@badp Er...yes?

Q: Dragonvale app doesn't have Facebook login

DragonJakeI created a Facebook account just for linking my dragonvale games. Now I go to options and there is no way to login. What can I do. The game I want to use is on my Kindle but I also have one on my android phone if need be. Neither show the Facebook login.

 
user15026
@StrixVaria You know, I can see that, because there are a lot of people who are like 10k++++ who rock out managing site stuff, but wouldn't want to handle the other side of stuff
 
@John Ask @balpha to bring it over then!!
 
Why do we have ?
 
FAE
@Unionhawk Platform specific questions.
 
8:27 PM
@StrixVaria We can't ask them to take on a time and energy commitment they can't dedicate to the site.
 
@Unionhawk It's a platform.
 
user15026
Which is totally valid, it can be a lot of Stuff to Do and we all have lives and things and stuff outside of this. (I think)
 
@badp Exactly. That's why this is so interesting.
 
Coming up with good questions should be easier than it is
 
8:27 PM
I guess... >_>
 
I've got a bunch in my head but a lot of them sound dickish
 
@AshleyNunn not me :D
 
I kind of want to nominate myself, but I know that I don't know enough about how everything works. And I would probably be a terrible mod anyway.
 
@Arperum Worst that happens if you try and fail is that you don't win. Same as if you don't try!
 
@Arperum doesn't hurt to run. It's good experience for next time too :)
 
8:28 PM
I'm debating copying my mod speech from last year.
 
user15026
@spugsley I referred to here as my internet home to SO many people this weekend (because everyone kept asking what my shirt was from)
 
>.>
 
user15026
@Arperum Never hurts to try!
 
@John You're planning to run?
 
@AshleyNunn <3
 
8:28 PM
@AshleyNunn Heehee, I get that a lot, too
 
user15026
@John No one would have noticed if you hadn't said!
 
FAE
@spugsley Just random free time isn't the only thing though, it's having the energy and dedicated time to commit and all.
 
@Wipqozn I'm not sure. I'm not as active as I used to be.
 
Getting those damn lazers to go diagonally was hard
 
@AshleyNunn Oh, someone would've. coughWipqozncough
 
8:29 PM
and the result isn't perfect.
 
@John Yeah, that's why I was surprised you were thinking of running. Didn't thnk you had the time to mod.
 
user15026
@badp It was awesome. "Is that from an anime?" "Nope, it's from this really awesome site....blahblahblah" ....so if we get crappy questions from new users and they end up being my fault because I said stuff I am sorry
 
I don't understand the rules well enough to be a mod.
 
@AshleyNunn </3
 
8:30 PM
@John A speech from last year would be awesome. what witgh no elections and all.
 
@badp super user is pretty busy. My question was mostly ignored too

Q: Mirror output to monitor and TV via HDMI splitter

Ben BrockaI've got an interesting problem; I've got a TV and 3 monitors. I would like to mirror my middle monitor to my TV via an HDMI switcher, because Steam Big Picture just doesn't work well with multi-monitor setups (shuffles monitor order and I can't plug in 4 concurrent monitors with my graphics card...

 
user15026
@badp I said if! It might not happen! We might get awesome people!
 
@AshleyNunn <?3
 
@GnomeSlice there is always room to learn
 
@Wipqozn I could probably find the time, were I actually elected, but I doubt I would be
 
8:30 PM
First nominee is in...
 
@Arperum You know what I mean >.>
 
@Wandang It's been 3 years, I don't think I'm gonna get it. :)
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, SU is the site I have the most self-answers/question on
 
user15026
@badp yay! possible badp love!
 
@AshleyNunn <3
I CAN'T HANDLE THIS ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONAL UNCERTAINTY
 
8:31 PM
@GnomeSlice :/
 
user15026
@badp IM SORRY IT JUST KINDA HAPPENS
 
HOW TO EMOTION
 
Why am I being told that something big is happening in here?
 
@badp to calm you down
@Undo see that big cake
 
@Undo because it's true! We're holding elections! :)

Q: Can Battlecries be applied to the minion you just played?

dlanodCan Battlecries that get applied to minions be applied to the minion you just played? , e.g can the Dark Iron Dwarf give itself +2 Attack until the end of the turn?

 
@badp Ooooh!
Handing out some more shiny diamonds?
 
Yeah! 3 of them
 
I had to trim down my big long speech! Silly character limit!
 
THREE
 
wait
 
8:32 PM
That's almost one hundred.
 
frank
bueckert
 
@badp You count like my 6 year old.
 
wishes he had 300 rep
 
are you the brother of the other bueckert?
 
One, two, five hundred!
 
8:33 PM
@JasonBerkan Your 6yo is awesome
 
user15026
@Wandang Dang, I want cake
 
@Wandang It's the same guy. He changed his username.
 
@badp I know, he is.
 
@Frank I forget, are you fbueckert?
 
@Wandang That was me. If you're thinking of fbueckert?
 
8:33 PM
WHAT
 
I guess so
 
Mind = blown
 
@John Sure was.
 
Well then/
 
and he does not have me on ignore anymore?
 
8:33 PM
FBUECKERT NEVER FORGET
 
@John No, @fbueckert deleted his account.
 
yeah
 
@Wipqozn oh
 
Aaack. Someone get Jin to change the color on the election notice. It hurts my eyez.
 
Whoa, 3 mod positions open?
 
8:34 PM
 
thx @Frank for giving me another chance
 
user15026
@Wipqozn you are a jerk
 
@Wandang Everyone gets a second chance.
Some get even more than that.
 
@Frank But not me.
 
@Undo I agree, please post on meta
 
8:35 PM
well apparently @Arperum thinks otherwise
 
Me is not active on Gaming.
You can.
 
@Undo Get active.
 
oh wait
i did switch up stuff
FEichinger had and still has me on ignore
>.<
 
@Arperum But... I don't play games!
 
8:36 PM
@Frank woooow your flag count is very high :o
that's awesome
 
@Undo pweez
 
Must get 2k rep within a week to nominate self as mod...
 
@spugsley I try.
 
@Yuki don't you just need 300?
 
@Undo Get to doing that! it is awesome! We have space!
 
8:36 PM
Nah
We have more space:
 
@Frank i want to suggest an edit " I could delete those rather just flagging them, and the same with offensive and spam answers."
 
@Yuki Just do it now.
 
@Undo KSP?
 
 
@badp My personal code is that if you don't have 10k mod tools on any SE site, you have no business being a mod unless it's a beta site.
 
user15026
8:37 PM
....can we not make comments on noms, or is my page just borked?
 
i am missing a verb
 
@Undo That's why I mentioned space.
 
@Yuki Fair enough
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I just made a comment.
 
@Yuki oof :/
 
8:37 PM
i mean a "but"
 
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
 
I'd like to get a diamond somewhere sometime, but.... gaming isn't it :P
 
user15026
@FAE Ah, okay, broken then. Alright. pokes at it
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn hands you a stick
 
@badp Granted that means you're eligible for a diamond if you have 10k rep on SciFi.SE, but the less we talk about that the better.
 
user15026
8:38 PM
@FAE Thank yooooou
 
@AshleyNunn sharpens stick
 
I feel like my incident from last election with @GnomeSlice not realizing who I was should give me some kind of a advantage here
 
Because computers respond better to physical injury.
 
user15026
@Frank so helpful!
 
I vaguely remember that.
 
FAE
8:38 PM
@John hahaha
 
Hey guys. I noticed the nomination phase of elections just started. Is there a way for us to view the current moderators?
 
@John Dark horse candidate = best candidate.

thanks guys, don't know how I missed that XD
 
@Arperum +2 sharpness!

@Arperum this is getting awesome-r by the second.
 
user15026
I WILL HAVE THE BEST STICK
 
@AshleyNunn *Wand of Pokery
 
8:40 PM
@John Wand of Jiggery-Pokery.
 
@GnomeSlice Seriously, I've looked at those photos like 20 times already
 
@Blem i like it
 
@spugsley Did you look at her flickr or 500px?
There's a ton more.
They're amazing.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I looked at all of that and aaaaaaaaaaaaa they are just aaaaa so good
 
@GnomeSlice that's my next step :) But some of these are so amazing I just don't want to leave the pagggge
 
8:41 PM
@spugsley Some of them have babies in them though, so don't fly off the handle.
@spugsley They have the same ones. :P
That article just picked out a handful.
 
@Wandang thanks :)
 
@GnomeSlice I love the editing style. Ughhhhhh I have no words for this kind of awesomenss
 
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED</kalina>
 
@spugsley for moderator because she's Internet Famous.
3
 
8:43 PM
It's a strange side-effect of modship that by voting for someone, you effectively remove their close votes from the equation on controversial subjects.
 
@Yuki bahaha that'll be my platform "I am internet famous."
see if that helps
 
Theoretically it benefits me to vote for someone who I believe will be trustworthy and hardworking but otherwise tends to have the opposite opinion of me on issues. :P
 
FAE
@Sterno Yeah, it's interesting, to say the least.
 
@spugsley You have my vote.
 
8:44 PM
@Yuki I don't have 10k rep yet so :p
 
Everyone is famous!
 
@Sterno So... @Frank?
 
@Sterno Yeah, I can no longer kneejerk crap if I'm a mod.
I have to trust you guys to do it.
 
Well, it's either @Frank or SkyDrift.
 
8:45 PM
It's also interesting to me that one of the default questions is "What do you think a mod does?"
 
I think @AshleyNunn should run for moderator
 
OBV SOCKPUPPET PLS BAN NOW
 
@Sterno A moderator... moderates.
 
Because in a lot of ways, I don't know. And if I don't know, how do I know who to vote for?
 
lol @Yuki

@Brian whoa, wait, what? you....what?
 
You heard me :P
 
@Brian Well, since any new moderator is just going to a figurehead for @AshleyNunn, this would cut out the middleman.
 
haha
 
New headcanon: All moderators are sock-puppets for @AshleyNunn. When you are elected, your account is forked over.
And you are banned from the Internet.
 
user15026
Huh. I never expected so many of you to think I should do the thing.
 
user15026
8:47 PM
@Yuki But then I will be lonely
 
Never heard of this @AshleyNunn person, just doesn't seem like modrater material
 
@Brian I think we shouldn't pressure anyone to run for moderator; instead just let them all make that decision themselves.
 
@StrixVaria We can at least encourage them, right?
 
It's a lot to take on.
 
I'm surprised no one's complained about the apparent bug in the election candidate statistics site. Whoever maintains that should be ashamed.
 
8:47 PM
The fact that there are 3 slots instead of 1 makes me scared and confused.
 
user15026
@BenBrocka Nah, likely not, I hear she bakes cakes and junk like we dont even want people like that
 
@Sterno Yeah, this is really what's throwing me off.
 
@BenBrocka You may also know her as @badp, @jmfsg, @agent86, @Mana, @Oak, or @RavenDreamer.

@StrixVaria I think someone might be stepping down
 
8:48 PM
whut
 
idk I just have a feeling
 
@TimStone Yes, whoever maintains that should really be ashamed!
 
@AshleyNunn Close votes can be bought with cake.
ALWAYS cake.
 
@spugsley I think it's more a question of people getting burned out than stepping down.
Or not being as active, anyway.
 
@Sterno Isn't 3 the usual for larger sites?
 
8:50 PM
I haven't seen some of our mods around in quite a while.
Election Discussion ^
 
FAE
@spugsley We just had this discussion and @badp said nay.
 
@FAE oh ok ty :)
 
@BenBrocka It just seems at odds with this answer
 
user20683
Gaming has a fairly low Mod count for one of the biggest sites on the network.
 
Okay, for some reason, chat isn't auto-scrolling for me anymore.
 
8:51 PM
@FAE He basically said "I don't know about anyone planning to, but they are not obliged to tell me, so what do i really know?"
 
@Yuki Refresh. I find it happens if I've clicked "Load to my last message."
 
@FEichinger That jerk!
 
user20683
@Sterno I actually forgot to mention site growth in that answer. I'll edit later.
 
@Sterno well they also happen based on site growth. It's just that it was previously said arqade was doing fine with the current volume of flags/issues:moderators
 
I'm back, I had a phone call

8:52 PM
@GnomeSlice all of the mods are active in some capacity or another. However you are correct that some mods' level of participation - mine included - is lower than it used to be. This is why we asked Stack Exchange to have this election. We want your help :)
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Basically you are the worst ;)
 
user15026
@Oak <3
 
@StrixVaria no one is forcing anyone to to become a moderator o.O
 
FAE
@Arperum That's pretty much as close as you can get to a nay in the current situation.
 
The real reason why the mod team is considered inactive is because @AshleyNunn only has so much time in a day.
 
user15026
8:52 PM
@Yuki Someone needs to determine how to clone me ;)
 
@AshleyNunn Well, then you'll just take over every SE site instead of just consoling yourself with your current domain of Arqade and Pets.SE.
 
@AshleyNunn I think one @AshleyNunn is as much as the world can handle.
 
@AshleyNunn would uploading your brain into a computer work? Then we'd just hire another server if a new game comes out and it's busy
 
user15026
@Brian Yeah, I don't consider it pressure. :) I think it is nice you think I am neat enough to try making a go of it.
 
We'd be flooded in cakes and muffins and other sugary goods.
 
user15026
8:54 PM
@KevinvanderVelden ooooh, this is a good plan.....
 
Which stack exchange website would we put "How can we clone @AshleyNunn?" on?
 
Biology

@AshleyNunn ooooohhh :3
 
user15026
@spugsley Hey if I had a clone then one me could be here and one me could buy a fancy dress and go to your art thing
 
@AshleyNunn :DDDD YEAH~
 
8:55 PM
@AshleyNunn You can just trim one of your fingernails and plant it in the ground. 3 days later, another @AshleyNunn will sprout.
 
user15026
@Frank I dont see this is a bad thing.
 
@AshleyNunn We would need to clone @DavidM as well, then, because we'd all have diabetes from the amount of sugar coming our way.
 
user15026
@Yuki ....but what if people start stealing bits of me and making the clones do evil things
 
@AshleyNunn Then you become a superhero, and take out your evil clones!
 
@AshleyNunn There is no Good. There is no Evil. There is only @AshleyNunn.
 
user15026
8:56 PM
@Frank well, we'd have figured it out already, so we could do that
 
@Frank You don't get diabetes from sugar...
 
FAE
@Yuki I don't think there's viable cell tissue in keratin, is there?
For cloning I mean.
 
user15026
Based on brief research, I don't think so.
 
@FAE Well, there's no cloning necessary. @AshleyNunn is like a starfish. Cut off a piece and you'll have two @AshleyNunn within a month.
 
8:59 PM
O.o
