Good morning

So anyone throwing their name in for the open moderator spot?

Bueller....

Draken

12:09

I think @DarkCygnus is

Mister Positive

12:21

I hope @Snow and @IDrinkandIKnowThings will.

Richard U

12:42

I will, just to make things interesting.

The cries of "Oh god not him!" will be entertaining to hear.

Draken

13:19

What happened to that Character 2 question? I was interested to see what it actually meant but appears to have been deleted

Mister Positive

13:32

@Draken where did you see that?

@RichardU Can you hear me now? (LOL)

Draken

It was on the front page of the workplace this morning, possible deleted now. Sadly I don't have 10k privilege to track it down

Mister Positive

yeah....the question part is supposed to be this week I believe

Richard U

13:54

we shall see what we shall see, shall we?

Masked Man

14:11

@RichardU I will join. :)

@MisterPositive Oh yes, me!

Richard U

@MaskedMan SE could use a few Trickster Mentors

Chris E

Morning

Richard U

14:34

Good morning Sir, long time no see @ChrisE

Mister Positive

Mister E sir, you should throw your name in the ring for the open moderator slot

Masked Man

@MisterPositive Sir, you too should change your name to Mister Sort of Positive for a bit and throw in your hat.

Richard U

@MisterPositive yes, yes, Join us @MisterPositive together we may rule the galaxy

Chris E

14:50

@MisterPositive I may do that.

Masked Man

I could do with the moderator hat, it would help me keep my circus of multiple personalities under some sort of control.

Richard U

@MaskedMan only two of my personalities are schizophrenic, but one is paranoid and the other is out to get him.

Masked Man

I have 4 personalities ... no, 5. Uhm, excuse me, we will discuss this and let you know when we come to an agreement.

Mister Positive

Yes, the voices in my head after due consideration have voted no. 10 - 1

We are focused on our LEGENDARY badge. ;-)

Masked Man

@MisterPositive No that is not allowed. We are overriding you.

Oh, I have "only" 14 badges left to achieve. With IPS hogging most of the HNQ "quality" limelight, legendary suddenly seems far far away. lol

I am wondering if I should switch teams and try to get legendary badge over there instead. :P

Richard U

14:56

@MisterPositive I never get any of the fun voices, you know the kind that go "KILL!!! KILL!" It usually just news and weather.

Mister Positive

@RichardU LOL

@RichardU Today is a good day for me. Other day all I hear is why are you doing this??

Masked Man

Does anyone know what's the minimum time between two moderator elections?

Mister Positive

We don't

( Speaking for me, myself, and the other voices )

@ChrisE I honestly hope so. I voted for you last time.

@Snow Needs to run too

Masked Man

Might need to find that out. If I end up winning the election, some of the current moderators might resign in protest, and we will end up needing another election soon. :P

Mister Positive

And @IDrinkandIKnowThings

@MaskedMan LOL

Masked Man

15:01

Like how when Obama became the US President a few years ago, people threatened to leave the US and go to Colorado. ;)

Richard U

@MisterPositive whenever anyone tells me I'm out of my mind, I tell them "Of course. It's dark and scary in there"

Masked Man

Will there be free cookies and electric kettle-boiled milk for all the moderator candidates?

Mister Positive

@MaskedMan ROTFLMAO

We are easily amused.

Mister Positive

17:31

Man the room is quiet today...it is almost like everyone got a job.

Richard U

@MisterPositive indeed. strange, isn't it?

Mister Positive

yeah...

jobs....I thought my paycheck came from the stack...

DarkCygnus

@Draken sup

I am not sure if I will

although I do got the time to take on the role

@MisterPositive Chris ran last time as I can see, and he came reaaaaly close

Mister Positive

17:46

@DarkCygnus How are you seeing that??

DarkCygnus

18:18

@MisterPositive workplace.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4323/…

found it browsing the election tag

although Lilienthal got more than 50% that time though...

Chris E

it wasn't that close, lol.

he beat me by over 2x :)

Richard U

@ChrisE We will not let that go unavenged

DarkCygnus

18:40

lol

@RichardU Thanos likes that comment

Chris E

19:21

I still haven't seen that movie. I'm going to have to wait until it comes to the cheap theater.

Richard U

@ChrisE Spoiler alert! I AM GROOT

DarkCygnus

19:54

@ChrisE no spoilers then...

So.. how was your weekend guys?

Have you seen what's happening in Hawaii?

Don't know why it reminded me of Dante's Peak movie

;/

Richard U

@DarkCygnus Hawaii is SO HOT right now!

@MisterPositive I better get crackin' with answering questions. You're breathing down my neck again :D

and you nominate yourself, by answering them.
