@NathanMerrill Who did you think the current mods were?

I hadn't actually counted. People had been saying 4 mods, and I thought they meant 4 total mods (including cjy)

Right, I was just wondering who you thought those four people were, Chris included.

Not a big deal or anything, just curious. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like I said, I really hadn't made the list. I mean, if at that time I were try to recall the names, I probably would have realized there were 5

Oh, gotcha. Sorry, misunderstood.

although, now that I think about it, I had counted 2 posts (before Martin's)

and then CJY posted

so I thought Martin was the last one unposted

yeah, it was Doorknob who hadn't posted at that time

so I guess you could say I forgot about him :)

haha

Btw @Nathan, this is the funniest thing I've read all day:

lol thanks

Conor's in

and VTC's in

So many candidates...

And there's my nomination.

I'm skeptical even high rep users like @DigitalTrauma or @Sp3000 or me could beat any of the sitting mods, yet none of the other nominees even have 10k rep. o.O

@HelkaHomba You can't win of you don't play. (Actually you win powerball every time by not playing, but I guess not everyone has did rudimentary stats and probability ;-))

I hope everyone knows only 4 spots are open and we already have 4 decent mods

@HelkaHomba Yes. Actually I think we have 4 really good mods. I know how I would rank all 4, but really have no problem voting for any of them, despite my own candidacy.

I think I like how @El'endiaStarman puts it: I'm nominating myself mostly so that if and when they win election, their victory is meaningful.

The democratic process is stronger because there are candidates to choose from, and the mandate of the incumbents is stronger when the beat out other challengers

@DigitalTrauma How would you rank us then? ;D

@AlexA. sorry - secret ballot ;-)

:P

This will be a difficult election to vote in...

@Sp3000 are you in?

Room? Yes. Election? No.

You're in the room?

Vote Sp for room!
