Lost a candidate again

StrixVaria

Still at 14.

Blem left yesterday.

3ventic

I wasn't here when that happened

kalina

@StrixVaria are you hoping to skip the primaries or something?

3ventic

What happens during primaries?

Just voting for the voting?

Jason Berkan

@3ventic You (if you have 150 rep) can vote for each candidate exactly like a question or answer. The top 10 voted candidates go on to the election phase.

3ventic

4:38 PM

So it's voting for voting.

Grace Note

4:56 PM

That's one way to put it.

M'vy

It's refinement

Arperum

How many times can you change your vote during primaries? Unlimited or is it like up/downvoting on the rest of the site?

Grace Note

I want to say it is unlimited

Pretty sure we don't lock votes like on questions and answers.

But if we do lock votes, then yeah, that's not a long time to change votes.

3ventic

So when someone starts saying "look how many votes I have", everyone changes their vote?

M'vy

@3ventic can you see that?

3ventic

5:02 PM

What do you mean?

Arperum

@3ventic Let's hope so. What about we test it? I give you a downvote in two hours and we'll see if I can still change it tomorrow :p

3ventic

That wasn't a real question

lol :p

Arperum

Downvotes for science!

M'vy

nvm I'm confusing with election.

3ventic

I'll be 10k soon anyway

M'vy

5:04 PM

The last steps are huge :P

5K each

3ventic

true

56 left :p

StrixVaria

5:20 PM

@kalina No...

I just stated how many candidates there are. I don't really have a preference one way or another as to how many run.

I think enough of the right people are running that we're in a good spot right now.

To all of the nominees:
Thank you for your nominations. Everyone of you have volunteered for a dirty job. Sure, it is a job that comes with power, but it is still a dirty job for which you get no pay or reward. Thank you for the offers of time you've made to this community, whether or not we decide to vote for you.

Grace Note

The questionnaire is up by the by, for folks in here who didn't get the announcement.

Also hey @Ivo.
