@Tonepoet @WBT I've actually only just posted answers. Not to affect the election (it's only one hour before close) but to inform people how I think.

@MετάEd Better late than never I assume. =P

Well, maybe this is O.T. for the chatroom but it has served its purpose and I think it is time to say goodbye to the only other Touhou fan presently around this part of Stack Exchange. Bye bye Grace Note, I never knew ye, but I recollect seeing a screenshot of your old Utsuho avatar somewhere around one of the S.E. or E.L. & .U. supplementary materials. =P

No, it's the song used for spending hours and hours sorting out the gay porn from the non porn.

And also for me to debug to.

But that outfit. She's a vampire?

Also, I don't know how you know whether a song has a lot of tone correction.

We need something that's good for the run up to an election.

@KitZ.Fox The ROCKY anthem? :)

claps along

You got rick rolled!

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down"

@MετάEd Good one!

"I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the world"

that's it from me.

@KitZ.Fox loved it. :)

Why do I always think I hate Coldplay? I don't think they have a single song that I dislike.

Maybe. But like Viva La Vida I would turn up and sing along to in the car.

I moved the link to ELU chat.

Oh, but it's fun here!

@KitZ.Fox phon.ox.ac.uk/jcoleman/one-from-oins.wav

That one is kind of exciting.

@MετάEd I had just clicked on that one!

25 minutes!

@JasperLoy Yes, pretty much regardless of who's elected, that's true.

I'm not the winner. Not for years and years.

If you like Indian,

Is it traditional for Indian bride and groom to perform dances for each other?

@KitZ.Fox in rich weddings, yes. :)

Is this part of courting?

I'd have thought the courting is pretty much done by the time you hit the altar.

Well, I think Indian weddings take many days, don't they?

I thought there was a whole lot of steps.

I guess maybe I should watch the movie, then I might understand better.

I've only seen a couple, but they were really fascinating.

@JasperLoy The most crucial thing you need to know about a language

The clothes are so beautiful.

I expect the new mods to take care of this.

@KitZ.Fox In this video, I think there's two things shown in parallel -- the wedding and life after that. I've not seen the movie yet. The song is by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, btw :)

@JasperLoy Haha, I wish.

More trivia: they're now a married couple in real life.

No.

@JasperLoy Maybe we'll either freeze to death, or burn to..

Or get stuff in our bits.

Like mud and twigs.

I think Mankind had to wear clothes

That should be your new avatar.

6 minutes!

Man has never been so kind.

lol. no

Maybe. I was late for the end of the last one.

And my little boy is trying to make me miss this one too.

I'm half awake.

Or half-asleep?

Can't hear him crying. lalalalalala

It's almost 2 am here. I'm just weirdly excited to see my predictions come true.

T minus three minutes

Can't tell you, sorry.

@JasperLoy That it will be morning where he lives in less than six hours

So.

The winners will get an orange diamond notice in their top bar.

That will take them to the Moderator Agreement page.

Once you agree to the agreement, then you get your mod powers.

An agreement that people click "I agree" just like that. ;)

And we will ping you from the EL&U mod room and take you to the Teacher's Lounge, should you care to do so.

But it might take us a bit to bumble about and figure out the winners.

I can't see the results.

It takes a few minutes to process.

But I see this "8,457 voters were eligible, 2,245 visited the site during the election, 1,977 visited the election page, and 716 voted"

Oh wow. Only 716?!

That's disappointing.

@NVZ Download the data.

Open with OpenSTV, meek method.

Someone do that please.

And congrats to our new mods! @tchrist and @MετάEd.

\o/

There's no download available atm

@KitZ.Fox Woo. Now I suppose I'll have to get to work.

Congratulations!

Hugs @TCh and @MετάEd

So ... thanks. :-)

Gets all smoochy

@MετάEd Yeah, those 9000 flags in the queue are quite intimidating, aren't they?

woot!

congrats @tchrist & @MετάEd :D

expects his flags to be handled first

Congrats to Pit and Patt.

@MετάEd hands over shovel, gloves and goggles

@DEAD @MattE.Эллен Thanks. And I'll drag out my old hip waders.

Whohoooo! Congratulations @tchrist and @MετάEd!

And thank you to all the candidates for taking the time to run.

@KitZ.Fox Thanks!

@tchrist Don't worry. We'll give you a couple hours to get your feet under you.

Wait, wrong room

Wrong time, even

@KitZ.Fox I didn't run far enough, evidently.

@KitZ.Fox feetwet

hahaha

@terdon Thanks.

And swag

I think I ranked 5th from the data. Nice! :)

@MετάEd Did you get my ping? It's acting weird.

Also, @tchrist it's not letting me ping you.

I wonder why. I noticed that. Let me try again.

have you both accepted the mod agreement?

You need to reaccept on each site you mod.

I have.

blames caching

Must be.

Fine. We'll do it the old fashioned way.

Nope.

Oh, I know why.

This may be a challenge. Just a sec.

And ... sure enough. My first official act as a moderator is to delete poop.

@JasperLoy Right. Not for you.

@KitZ.Fox Maybe not. I don't see anything.

Where should I be looking?

I just manually added you.

@MετάEd yay! that was my flag. ;-)

Now I'm going to expect that speed of turnaround forever.

@Hellion Noted.
