we should debate something

What's the best colour?

Seth

Green. And brown. And blue.

Canadian Luke

15:50

Nah, nah, White! It has ALL the best colours in it

rolfl

Damn it, it's colour .... !!!!

Oh, Canadian Luke got it right .... good Canadian.

Canadian Luke

@rolfl I fixed @Undo's version too

rolfl

Good on ya, eh.

Canadian Luke

Of course!

Undo

@CanadianLuke D:

Canadian Luke

16:00

@Undo You have the power to change it back... Just realize we are going to pressure you (as peers) (almost like a 'peer pressure') (like what you learned about in high school) to change it back ;-)

Undo

meh

Canadian Luke

Good, peer pressure wins! \o/

rolfl

Good, peer pressure wins! \o/

Canadian Luke

@rolfl Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

rolfl

Which tree, the family tree, or the maroela tree?

Canadian Luke

16:05

... The wooden tree?

rolfl

►

Canadian Luke

A: Cause he was dead

Q: Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree
A: Cause he was stapled to the first monkey

Q: Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree?
A: **Peer pressure**

rolfl

ahhh.... yeah, heard that one.

DragonLord

16:30

Less than four hours to go.

Canadian Luke

By lunch time, I'll know

Malachi

17:11

lots of Mods in here

Seth

@CanadianLuke For what it's worth, I'm an American who prefers the British/Canadian spelling :P

and I'll even pronounce algae as ælɡi occasionally too.

Malachi

2 hours

Canadian Luke

@Seth I always pronounced it as "slimy green stuff" :P

Seth

@CanadianLuke haha :P

Canadian Luke

18:08

ONE HOUR! THE TIME OF THE MOD-ELECTINGNESS IS UPON US!

DragonLord

18:32

90 minutes to go.

Canadian Luke

18:48

What? I thought it was done at 8pm UTC

Malachi

19:03

56 minutes is what it just told me

Canadian Luke

I see that now... Apparently, I'm in PDT, not PST :)

DragonLord

19:28

A: Warn new users when they ask a question after a previous question is closed, downvoted, or deleted

Starting today, we are going to show a warning to folks who are about to post a question or an answer when they already have a track record of ... suboptimal questions: or answers: The specific criteria for these aren't public largely for the same reasons the quality block criteria aren't p...

30 minutes to go.

nhinkle

19:53

Almost there!

Daniel Beck

last minute

DragonLord

It's over.

I've lost--and by a margin of 18 points

Seth

Running election data..

hichris123

so... who won?

DragonLord

JMG and Mokubai.

Seth

20:02

Winners are @JourneymanGeek and @Mokubai!

DragonLord

I already have the election data.

Mokubai

What the!?!?

hichris123

@Mokubai Be prepared to get your diamond. :D

DragonLord

@Mokubai, your high reputation put you at a substantial advantage. Congratulations.

Mokubai

Eeep!

Seth

20:03

@Mokubai Not expecting it?

Mokubai

In all honesty I had thought that it would be close but would go to DL.

@DragonLord Thank you

Seth

oops. anyway.

@Mokubai Something I think I've learned now: Elections are always surprising and I don't mean that in a bad way... Congrats :)

No offense, but I thought it would go to DL too :)

Daniel Beck

Congrats @JourneymanGeek and @Mokubai!

Mokubai

@Seth None taken :)

Daniel Beck

If I'm reading this right DL got more first votes and Mokubai got more second votes.

Seth

20:07

@DanielBeck Really?

Mokubai

@DanielBeck Surely that'd put him first then?

Seth

Now that's interesting.

Daniel Beck

First round: M 145 DL 193

Seth

@Mokubai not necessarily.

Daniel Beck

Then JG gets elected and M 269 DL 266

Looks correct. Mokubai got 380 second votes (298 from JG #1 voters), DL 253 (176 from JG #1 voters).

hichris123

20:12

@Mokubai Refresh the page, and you should now be blue! Congrats.

Daniel Beck

@hichris123 Being election winner and getting the diamond are two steps.

Took an hour or so for me.

Seth

@DanielBeck Things have advanced since those days :)

DragonLord

Perhaps if there's more demand for another moderator...

Seth

Took 10 minutes for me.

Daniel Beck

@Seth Yeah I'm old I know :-/

hichris123

20:14

@DanielBeck It's already there. :P

Seth

Used to take several days o_O

Mokubai

Yarp

Eeep! hides

KronoS

congrats @Mokubai @JourneymanGeek

Daniel Beck

@Seth Or maybe I just made the mistake to actually read the moderator agreement? ;-)

Seth

@DanielBeck Eh? You mean I was supposed to read that?

Oh.... ;P

@KronoS I was kinda surprised you didn't run..

KronoS

20:27

@Seth not enough time to dedicate right now to Mod tasks

otherwise I would've

Seth

:-/

Malachi

21:17

congratulations @Mokubai and @JourneymanGeek!

Mokubai

@Malachi Thank you. It was a good fight to the last post by all accounts

Malachi

@Mokubai one day I will join the Elite band of Blue Diamonds, but now is not the time. any chance you too are a Canadian?

Mokubai

@Malachi Nah, I'm a Brit...

Malachi

tougher than those Frenchies, works for me

66% of the Moderators on CR are Canadians

Journeyman Geek

21:53

morning, and thank you ;p

Mokubai

@JourneymanGeek Congratulations!

Journeyman Geek

You too ;p

Mokubai

1sy place by a mile!

Dang auto complete. You got 1st place by a mile @JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

22:14

Yeah, looks like I did o0

Malachi

congratulations @JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

thanks

Mokubai

23:04

Double mod close: BAM! superuser.com/questions/379917/…

Daniel Beck

@Mokubai The best we had after the last election was four moderators. Now we could check again to see if we get a set of five moderators closing a q.

Mokubai

Now that would be pretty sweet.

Journeyman Geek

DragonLord

23:58

It was so close...

rolfl

Like, really, really, really close.

DragonLord

18 points behind Mokubai

rolfl

Close enough for the difference to be statistically insignificant....

I presume you replayed the results?
