i win

KronoS

> 10,103 voters were eligible, 3,011 visited the site during the election, 2,057 visited the election page, and 1,011 voted

DMA57361

ack, that's come out awful

Rob

i called it

Daniel Beck

20:01

Where's KronoS?

DMA57361

@DanielBeck kronos eliminated in round 16 - so 4th

no wait

I hate reading this thing ... :/

Ivo Flipse

Damn, should have made you my 1st choice then @KronoS

nhinkle

Dang. I was rooting for @KronoS as well.

KronoS

@IvoFlipse lol it's ok... just tell Jeff to add another mod like last year @nhinkle ;)

slhck

Too bad, hey, let's make it 4 and put @KronoS in :)

Rob

20:02

where are those stats?

Luke

@IvoFlipse THanks :P

DMA57361

no, I think Kronos was 4th, DragonLord 5th

nhinkle

That being said, congrats to all our new mods :)

Ivo Flipse

You'll have to remain my bitch then @KronoS

3

DMA57361

@Rob goto the election page, download OpenSTV and the data and run it :)

nhinkle

20:02

@slhck we could pull an @nhinkle and add @KronoS a week later

Rob

mkay, thanks

DMA57361

@Rob see my horribly formatted thing above for the output

nhinkle

I'm also surprised that @DanielBeck came in before @slhck. I was certain he'd be elected, but thought slhck would be first.

Rob

lol

Ivo Flipse

@nhinkle Sounds like a plan :P

Daniel Beck

20:03

@Rob I didn't, just random ordering on the site

DMA57361

@nhinkle @slhck is selected in round 1 with 504 1st votes

slhck

@nhinkle Huh.. that's interesting!

Daniel Beck

504 voted for slhck, 213 for me.

Rob

I can't download openSTV. :/ at least not with my package manager

nhinkle

@DMA57361 I'm confused - why does the order say db, slhck, oliver then?

Rob

20:04

alpha

wait

DMA57361

@nhinkle cos the votes shuffle about a bit and DB ends up with slightly more in the end

Rob

no

nhinkle

Man, STV is weird

Rob

sorry @DanielBeck, @slhck had my first vote

DMA57361

In fact DB has more than slhck in round 2, so we can assume a lot of people who voteded for slhck 1st had DB 2nd

KronoS

20:05

Anyways... congrats @OliverSalzburg @slhck @DanielBeck... be prepped for an interview for the blog ;) I gotta get back to work

Rob

<3

nhinkle

@KronoS yeah you'd better get back to work. Starting with interviewing them :D

slhck

@KronoS Thanks! Hope you keep up the work though, you've been doing a really nice job lately :)

nhinkle

@slhck have you gotten the notification yet?

slhck

@nhinkle Notification?

DMA57361

20:07

well guys, congrats, now you just have to wait for everything to kick in :)

nhinkle

@slhck saying "click here to get ALL THE POWERS"

Rob

ROW ROW FIGHT THA POWAH

nhinkle

i'm harassing all the SE staff to go push the buttons

slhck

I'll be like…

4

Diogo

@slhck Add the ♦ to your name :D

nhinkle

20:09

@slhck I tried to convince Ivo to leave the dozen flags we had this morning for you to deal with once elected, but then they all disappeared.

slhck

@Diogo Can't, forbidden char ;)

@nhinkle No hurry though, I'm a little busy these days anyways with private stuff :)

Luke

Can't believe I went up to round 8

DMA57361

@Luke I don't think you dropped until round 13

nhinkle

TL;DR - STV is really confusing

Ivo Flipse

trying to invite @slhck to the mod room, but no can do :(

DMA57361

20:13

@nhinkle it's not too bad, but then I'm a maths guy so shrug

nhinkle

I'm guessing we have to wait until they push the buttons. Everyone ping @aarthi and tell her to push the button!

Aarthi

stop that

nhinkle

:(

Ivo Flipse

@Aarthi Push it already!

nhinkle

We just want to welcome our new mods in all their diamond glory.

Ivo Flipse

20:14

Our newest minions have some work to do

Aarthi

shaddup it's not my button to push

nhinkle

Oh. Then tell us who we should be bothering instead! :P

@Ivo I think we should go on a flagging spree so they can have some fun once they get in.

Aarthi

hey, be nice to the new kids on the block.

slhck

haha

Aarthi

ps: slhck got the most voted. it totally kills the scale, it's funny.

nhinkle

20:17

We should just give @slhck 3 diamonds

Aarthi

lulz after we clone him twice?

Ivo Flipse

@Aarthi Off course

nhinkle

Nah. It'll just be slhck♦♦♦

Daniel Beck

@nhinkle A Super Moderator for Super User.

Aarthi

looks like dbeck'll fit right into TL

soandos

20:20

This is very confusing. Did I come in 4th?

nhinkle

@soandos, no, @KronoS came in 4th.

it's all very confusing.

Daniel Beck

@soandos Yes. If there were 4 seats, you'd have been elected.

DMA57361

@nhinkle actually, he's right

Aarthi

Order: slhck, DBeck, Oliver, KronoS, soandos

soandos

This is incredibly confusing...

KronoS

20:22

> Exhausted

what's that?

DMA57361

@Aarthi KronoS was eleminated in 16, soandos is still present in 17

KronoS

votes that were lost?

soandos

I put in 4 candidates and my name came up

DMA57361

@KronoS votes where all of a the choices of a voter are out

Aarthi

whoops my bad

i'm not good at reading.

soandos

20:22

Does that mean 4th place?

DMA57361

@soandos for you, yes

Daniel Beck

@DMA57361 Users voting for Randolph, Romil and MaQleod?

soandos

@DMA57361 that is not true in all cases?

Sathya

damn, no @KronoS?

Aarthi

4th

DMA57361

20:24

@DanielBeck or anyone whose votes were for those not still in in the round you're looking at, and I think those who did vote for those still in, but where only part of their vote is needed to elect

soandos

@Aarthi, how so? I ran the ballot file for 4 candidates and I came in 4th...

KronoS

@Sathya sorry dude... next year :)

Luke

@DMA57361 If I didn't drop out till that late, then how the heck do you read teh results?

DMA57361

@soandos FYI that's unreliable as it changes he thresholds and can alter the order

Aarthi

@soandos that changes the math :( KronoS is the first runner up.

DMA57361

20:26

@Luke find your position in the table (you're left-most bottom row), you're present until round 13, so that's where you're eliminated

Sathya

well it's official.

slhck

Got it now!

soandos

@Aarthi this is a very confusing election process. to be clear: If there were 4 spots, I would have one, but since there were only 3, I am not the first runner up?

Sathya

Daniel Beck

Woah.

Sathya

20:27

congrats, I see they;ve made it a lot faster.

Luke

@DMA57361 I only see 10 rows?

DMA57361

@DanielBeck congrats :)

@Luke you ran it MeekSTV with no changes to the other options (seats, etc)?

Mokubai

Grats to the new mods

slhck

@Mokubai Thanks!

Ivo Flipse

oeh oeh a flag, a flag!

slhck

20:28

Well, I'm still jetlagged and need to go to bed, but I'll definitely be around tomorrow!

Aarthi

@slhck you've got your blue text in chat.

Sathya

congrats @danielbeck, @slhck & @oliversalzburg on getting elected as Super User mods :)

23

Daniel Beck

@DMA57361 @Sathya @Mokubai Thanks

Luke

@DMA57361 Right

slhck

See you around guys, and a big thank you to everyone who voted!

DMA57361

20:28

@Luke odd, what I see is here -> chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5493238#5493238

Mokubai

So, when are the next elections? ;)

Ivo Flipse

@Mokubai Next week?

Mokubai

Woo! I'll be there!

Sathya

man I was writing a Stack Overflow answer while this countdown was going on,,

what is wrong with me!

well @slhck & @DanielBeck should have blue colour text; refresh folks!

@KronoS :-<

Ivo Flipse

@DanielBeck time to update your profile

DMA57361

20:33

anyway, I need to catch some sleep, congrats to the winners; cya all around

Daniel Beck

@Sathya I'm reading the stuff linked from the moderator agreement page. For the first time...

Mokubai

Well, I for one welcome our new robot overlo^H^H moderators and wish them all the best, they've been great members of the community and may they now be great shapers of the community.

Ivo Flipse

@DanielBeck Don't you know you're not supposed to read that crap, just [next] [next] [next]

Daniel Beck

Ivo Flipse

@DanielBeck They deserved it

Daniel Beck

20:38

Wait, what is that scary big number on the top left of the next screen?

Sathya

screen?

Daniel Beck

/admin

Ivo Flipse

They never had numbers when I became a mod :P

The number of flags each month

We seem to be having a small spike

Daniel Beck

I can haz blue pill?

Gigili

Why the new mods are not blue?

Sathya

20:39

@DanielBeck flags received per month

Ivo Flipse

Holy crap you guys have been busy, check the closed and deleted posts on DB and slchk

Sathya

@DanielBeck refresh?

Daniel Beck

@Gigili That is a great idea.

Ivo Flipse

and the edits on Oliver and slhck

slhck has closed 3.2k questions o.O

and deleted 352 even though he wasn't a mod

That's almost scary

Sathya

@slhck has put in 3x comments I have put in last rolling month

Ivo Flipse

20:41

I think I'll go on a vacation now

A: 2012 Community Moderator Election

The Community has spoken. According to the election page, the new moderators have been picked: Congrats Daniel Beck, Oliver Salzburg & slhck for being the newest elected Community Moderators!

Nifle

I would just like to offer my congratulations and good luck to our new moderators
@slhck , @DanielBeck and @OliverSalzburg . Please don't try to fix everything at once. Burn-out is a real issue (speaking from experience).

Luke

@DMA57361 I see that too, but I also see that I am dropped from round 8

Ivo Flipse

@Nifle Amen

Nifle

@IvoFlipse - I hope you old farts have some good advice for the noobs. Me, I'm off for bed after a bottle of decent red wine and a chat with some good friends. And never once during the eavning I worried about SU. :-)

Mokubai

20:56

Nice to see @slhck getting right into the swing of it ;)

superuser.com/questions/176696/issue-on-installing-windows-xp

Ivo Flipse

@Nifle Well I think SU is about to become even cleaner, so you have fun with that bottle of wine and your friends

Sathya

intriguing is that all 3 new mods are from Europe. @slhck is from Austria, @Daniel & @Oliver are from Germany

Ivo Flipse

He probably programmed a bot to delete stuff in his sleep

Sathya

@Nifle enjoy the wine.

I'm off to sleep, g'night!

Ivo Flipse

@Sathya Get out of my time zone! ;P

Or actually, stay, so I don't have to do shit

Nifle

20:57

It's all gone and my friends have left. That's why I'm here :-)

Off to bed. I have work tomorrow...

Daniel Beck

21:40

good night everyone

soandos

@DanielBeck good night and congrats

Paul

21:56

@slhck Great news on your modness

Journeyman Geek

22:57

ugh, serious dry spell. Haven't found anything i can answer in a few days :/

soandos

@JourneymanGeek ouch

nhinkle

@JourneymanGeek heh. I haven't seen anything to answer in weeks, but then again, all my time's spent moderating.

Journeyman Geek

@nhinkle: I'd rather not answer than do a halfassed one. This is probably one of my worse dry spells tho

Paul

@JourneymanGeek Yeah I find it comes in cycles like that. Makes me twitchy.

Bob

23:45

@Mokubai You were the last close vote (and the one after my comment) on this question. So, I was wondering if you would like to answer with your thoughts in this meta question?

Oh, election results!

Congrats @DanielBeck, @OliverSalzburg, @slhck!
