Two-hour warning.

I wonder if I will know the results before I sleep tonight.
(I think it's 50-50.)

Just think, in only a few more hours we'll know whether we're getting any porbs.
@DamkerngT. Looks like 258 to me?

ell.stackexchange.com/help/badges/81/constituent at present is the right way

Well . . .
38 mins remaining
I believe at least 8 of the candidates deserve their moderator position, so this is going to be a disappointment anyway.
Yet at the same time, thanking the mods will be rewarding.

"Count of first choices. Candidate J.R. has reached the threshold and is elected." Heh.

@NathanTuggy Did anyone really expect otherwise, though?
Nathan Tuggy
Nathan Tuggy
Probably not. That large bar of exhausted votes hurts, though.
jimsug
jimsug
What would've been surprising is if everyone took the attitude that Catija and I did, and not voted for J.R. :/
@NathanTuggy Well, the 2nd and 3rd preferences still get allocated, I think.
Nathan Tuggy
Nathan Tuggy
"Exhausted" means "we ran out of next preferences to transfer votes to"
So yeah, those aren't totally wasted, just not as efficiently allocated as possible.
jimsug
jimsug
Ah
yeah
well

Nathan Tuggy
Nathan Tuggy
I guess so.
Oh well.
I wish there were a few more choices available for each voter to fill in, but I suppose they're trying to avoid exhaustion.

If you make something even moderately more difficult, fewer people will do it.
> One of the things I’ve learned is that every time you offer a choice, you paralyze some people who can’t decide if that’s what they want to do or not. Now, that sounds really stupid and self-serving, but it is in fact true. -- Netflix CPO, Neil Hunt
