@James Well, that just means there's still a chance for you to change your vote if you haven't voted correctly. ;-) (hint hint)

Besides, only about 12 hours to go...

3 hours later…

Tim B

10:05

8 hours to go, if you've not voted yet you're running out of time :)

3 hours later…

HDE 226868

13:04

7 hours to go, I think.

Michael Kjörling

@HDE226868 I think that you are non-left.

HDE 226868

@MichaelKjörling ?

Michael Kjörling

@HDE226868 non-left = opposite of left = right

HDE 226868

Ahhhhh. . .

Michael Kjörling

It'll be interesting to see the outcome. All I know for sure is how I voted.

2 hours later…

James

14:54

...c'mon time!

....5 hours

Serban Tanasa

15:23

...4 hours

Michael Kjörling

@SerbanTanasa Ask a CM to change the server time.

Serban Tanasa

should be able to do it easily by sql injection.

3 hours later…

Serban Tanasa

PatJ

HDE 226868

HDE 226868

19:14

45 minutes.

Okay, looks like that embedding doesn't work.

itsalmo.st/#moderatorelectionandendoftheworld

That one's better.

Loong

@HDE226868 You could timeout this room for 40 minutes to get a countdown. ;-)

HDE 226868

@Loong That would be an excellent example to set for the new mod. :-)

"Abuse your mod powers for special occasions!"

Loong

:-D

And we don't even see the countdown.

Serban Tanasa

Clock stops at epoch 1487707200. Make your own counter.

HDE 226868

Last year I had class until ten minutes before the election ended, and then it took me ten minutes to get back to my locker and then walk to the bus, so I didn't have to deal with any of the tension.

Serban Tanasa

19:30

I was solving a tough data science problem

Michael Kjörling

So what's with the diamond invasion in the room all of a sudden? :-)

Don't tell me @HDE226868 tipped people off in TL or something...

HDE 226868

Not knowingly. . .

Monica Cellio

@HDE226868 I won the Workplace election while sitting in the airport after a job interview. Two successes in one day!

Michael Kjörling

@HDE226868 Is that "if I did, then I couldn't mention it"? ;-)

@MonicaCellio And both related to the workplace, no less!

HDE 226868

@MonicaCellio You got the job, I assume?

Monica Cellio

19:41

@MichaelKjörling I usually watch rooms via transcript. There was activity. :-)

HDE 226868

@MichaelKjörling No, I actually haven't been in the TL today.

Michael Kjörling

@HDE226868 Uh oh.

Monica Cellio

@MichaelKjörling yes, it was a thematic day. (Yes, I got the job.)

Serban Tanasa

@MichaelKjörling we are here for the denouement

Michael Kjörling

17 minutes... approximately.

And a dog who simply cannot understand what I am all worked up about.

HDE 226868

19:44

@SerbanTanasa Epoch fail?

Michael Kjörling

@HDE226868 True, false, fail not found.

@HDE226868 With the link, well, as long as it still works in 2037...

The case of the 500-mile email

Serban Tanasa

it's gonna work for the next 16 minutes

I'm spending too much time near developers

I think it's starting to rub off on me

cast as int64

there, fixed

Michael Kjörling

Nine minutes...

HDE 226868

Only 37.5% of the candidates are in this room or the main room right now.

Less than five minutes.

Michael Kjörling

@HDE226868 Spock voice on Given the number of candidates in the present election, your indicated level of precision in that measurement appears excessive. Spock voice off

AndyD273

19:56

So does the modding happen instantly for the winner, or do they have to set it up in the back end?

Serban Tanasa

A golden light engulfs you

there is a heavenly choir

Michael Kjörling

@AndyD273 At the very least you have to accept the moderator agreement manually, which the newly elected moderator can do at some point after the election ends. So there is some manual work involved at least for whoever comes out on top.

Serban Tanasa

it's the boss behind you asking what are you doing instead of that report

HDE 226868

Then someone shoves the mod agreement in your face.

Michael Kjörling

150 seconds...

Serban Tanasa

19:58

HDE 226868

Less than one minute.

LAST CHANCE TO VOTE

Michael Kjörling

DOING! (For anyone who wondered, that was the sound of the lithobraking of @SerbanTanasa's golden light.)

HDE 226868

Well, that was fun.

Can I go home now? :-)

Michael Kjörling

Congratulations @JDługosz!

Michael Kjörling

20:01

> Winner is JDługosz.

HDE 226868

. . . who is not here right now.

AndyD273

@HDE226868 Must be present to win?

Michael Kjörling

Ditto @HDE226868. Well, that was fun.

Though I will sincerely say that Worldbuilding SE could have done worse.

Monica Cellio

Wow, I was sure it was going to be either @MichaelKjörling or @James. Thanks to everybody who stood in a tough race!
