And oh boy can it be "fun" jumping into a war zone...

Hi, @RubberDuck, what'd you do now?

@RubberDuck ...for some values of "fun"

I am online, anyone have a question, please feel free to ping me, and I will get to it ASAP. Thanks!

now that there are no longer 10 or more candidates, are we still having a primary?

looks like the answer is yes, but all nominees advance anyway.

the top 10 nominees from the primary advance to the election

> After 4 days, the top 10 candidates based on primary vote score proceed onward to the election phase.

> if there are 10 or fewer candidates, we skip directly to the election phase.

@RubberDuck why did you withdraw ?

@janos See this, and this.

thanks @Ethan!

np

/shocked

Yeah, me too. It saddens me to see a community member like him go.

@Malachi No primary if there are only 10 candidates.

@janos @EthanBierlein I'm not gone gone. I just... Need to go for now. The second I thought to myself "man, I'm really kind of done with this" I knew it was best for everyone if I dropped out. I'll still be around the VBA room and will continue to police that tag, but I don't expect to participate much beyond that.

understood @RubberDuck, take as much time as you want. Know that me and the people that matter really want you around

(I don't come to the chat at work, I made an exception just because I noticed the change on the elections page)

@SimonAndréForsberg I need to read the election page again, it didn't read that way when I looked at it

it was on the Nomination Tab and not on the Primary Tab

> After 7 days, the top 30 nominees, ordered by reputation, advance to the primary phase. However, if there are 10 or fewer candidates, we skip directly to the election phase.

Boy, this is tough.

Okay I'v decided.

I will be running

@Vogel612 Awesome!!

you should at least update/edit that post to let people know that you accept the nomination, please

I did already write a comment, and will edit when I posted the nomination

may the journey begin

Awesome @Vogel612 !

but the nominations page is broken for me

broken?

it says there are 10 candidates but I still don't see you

I did edit a link into your meta-answer...

takes to the nominations page, but I'm still at the top

hmm.. it works just fine for me...

creepy

fine here as well

I even tried in a different browser, still not showing :(

okay that's really creepy

looks like you are using Safari.....

that's in fact the browser I'm not using ;-)

:) what browser is that?

that one browser you keep around in case something breaks on the one you're using...

^^^ exactly

still can't see your intro... but I'm about to offline soon anyway. I'll check tomorrow morning

I see him in Chrome

@janos you may have better chances on the "other" election site: elections.stackexchange.com/#codereview.stackexchange

@Vogel612 thanks! yeah that one works! (and the other still doesn't, but never mind)

odd. works for me

for everyone but me :s

if you were a mod ......

lol
